He wanted to know how much it had cost to discharge three nurses during the closing months of last year, A member of the audience asked whether' or not Mr. Murphy was a member of the Hospital Associ- ation and the chair replied that he was not and ruled his question out of order. The report of the management committee was read by Barry Wen- ger, listing the heads of depart- ments in the hospital and the num- bers of employees in each depart- ment, as well as the poundage of laundry processed and the num- ber of meals served. In his report as chairman of the property committee DeWitt Miller outlined the major tasks completed by the maintenance staff during 1961 and the projects which are slated for attention this year. Following this report, Mrs. Thompson, a member of; the nurs- ing staff, asked when the bed -pan flushers in the North Wing would be repaired, She was answered by Peter Norman, the chief engineer, who is responsible for maintenance, that the trouble With the flushers lies with the staff who do not know how to handle them properly. Mrs. C. Shackleton, night super- visor, stated at this point that she had nursed in the hospital for a considerable time and had never known the flushers to work proper- ly. Mr. Norman said he had not received any written report that the equipment in question was out of order. Year to complete their two-year vocational School Cerins. The following had been nornin- (Continued from Page One) whereby the federal government is putting up 75 per Cent of the cost and the provincial authorities will take up the other 25 per cent of the building and equipping costs, Name Committee The secretary read sections 43 and 46 of the Secondary Schools Act which outlined the necessity of forming a vocational advisory com- mittee, its powers and membership. The act stipulates that such a cern- mittee has to be set up and along Two persons were required to be with the board chairman and other elected from the town of Wingham officers shall have representatives for two-year terms. Nominated for from industry and labor and can the two posts were H. C. MacLean range from 8 to 12 members. and A. D. MacWilliam, the present On the recommendation of the members, Jake Hildebrand, Mrs• chairman the hoard approved the ated by the various district muniel- palities and in each casco the nomi- nation was seconded and the, men so named were elected by aeole- mation: Teeswater and Culross, John Colvin; I3owick, Robert ,Gib- son; Brussels, R. B. Cousins; Mor- cis, Robert Coultes; Blyth, and B. Wawanosh, Alex Robertson; Luck. now, Kinloss and W. Wawanosh, W. B, Anderson; Turnberry, R• E. Walker: Or, Leahy was nominated from the floor as representative for Teeswater and Culross, but de c1ined the nomination. Walter Pocock and W. T. Cruick- shank. Mr, Cruickshank asked that his name be withdrawn and the mover and seconder acceded to his request, Written ballots were used to elect the necessary two and the scrutineers, Ross Vegan and Ivan Haskins, issued the ballots, collect- ed them and counted the votes. The presiding officer, Dr. McKibbon, announced that. Mr. MacWilliam and Mr. MacLean had been return- ed. Criticisms Heard It was at this juncture that Mr. .Hildebrand wanted to know wheth- er there was a time limit for the terms of directors. Mr. Murphy then asked how far in advance of the annual meeting memberships had to be secured In order to permit the member to vote at the meeting. The chairman stated that ten days was the per- iod called for in the by-laws. Mr. Murphy stated that the by- laws also called for the advertising of the annual meeting in the local paper two weeks before the date for which it was called, and said that the first notice this year ap- peared only ten days before the meeting and he claimed that the meeting and the business it tran- sacted would be invalid, The chairman asked Dr. W. A. McKibbon to preside for the elec- tion of directors of the association. However, Mr. Hildebrand arose again and asked for an answer to his question about the terms of directors. The chairman said that the questions were out of order at that time and that an opportunity would be provided later in the meeting for all such questions. Mr. Hildebrand insisted that he want- ed the answers before the vote was taken. After a standing vote the chair- man permitted Mr, Hildebrand to speak. The latter then stated that administration of the hospital has been mishandled and referred spe- cifically to a nurse who was neither registered nor a graduate, who had been "misrepresented” and per- mitted to work in a supervisory capacity. He also claimed that three other nurses had been dis- charged because they had 'brought the situation to light. Concluding, he moved that the meeting express non -confidence in the administra- tion of the Wingham General Hos- pital. His motion was seconded. A. D. MacWilliam sponsored a motion, which was also seconded, that the meeting express its full confidence in the hospital admini- stration. The chairman dealt with the second notion as an amendment to the first and in a standing vote a sizeable majority voted in favor of the amendment and thus ex- pressed confidence in the admini- stration, Directors Elected Dr, McKibben then presided for the election of directors. He point- ed out that several members of 'tlie board are placed there .by ap- pointment or prior election, These included J. V. Fischer, appointed by the County of Huron; Dr, Mc- Kibben, appointed by the medical staff; Mrs. N. 0, Cameron, appoint- ed by the Ladies' A eeiliary, G. W. Tiffin and Barry Wenger were elected es representatives from Further :Report Mrs. Murchison read the report of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Hos- pital, which outlined the great amount of work done by the ladies and the efforts by which money had been raised for the program. The firm of Pearson, Edwards was named by motion as auditors for the hospital for the corning year. New Business The chairman then asked for a discussion on new business, DeWitt Miller pointed out the critical need for an addition to the hospital, due in large part to the fact that the original section of the building is growing ever more difficult to maintain in proper repair, and that the hospital is at all times handling more patients than the number. for which it is rated. He said that when the last wing was built sev- eral persons who were not mem- bers of the hoard had served on the various committees needed to raise funds, etc., and suggested that some of the persons who had been so voluable at the meeting might serve the hospital in this way rather than hindering. J. V. Fischer, chairman of the building committee, pointed out the difficulties which face the board in making plans for a new addi- tion. He said that provincial and federal government grants tdtal only $4,000 per bed and that the county grant, when it becomes available, is not likely to be pore than $2,000 per bed, Since the ex- pected cost here is in the neigh- borhood of $9,000 per bed, a large differential would remain to be raised locally. Mr. Cousins spoke in the same vein of the financial difficulties which must •be sur- mounted before a building program can be undertaken. Notice 'of Motion Reeve Clarence Hanna of East Wawanosh Township pointed out the possibility of dissatisfaction which presently exists in the meth- od by which the rural representa- tives are named to the board. He explained that under the present system the townships and outly- ing urban centres only nominate their representatives. If further nominations .were made at the an- nual meeting of the hospital as- sociation the selected rural repre- sentatives could be left off the board. It was his suggestion that the townships and villages be per- mitted to appoint their representa- tives, rather than nominating them, thus assuring that the select- ed representatives would be on the board. It was pointed out that the sug- gested alteration in procedure would necessitate a change in the by-laws of the association. Mr. Hanna therefore made his suggest- ion a notice of motion which will cone before the next annual meet- ing for ratification. This notice of motion was seconded by A. D. Mac - William. Nominating Conunittee J. P. McKibben spoke on the matter of raising funds for the construction of a new wing. It was his opinion that the $120,000 which Would have to be raised locally is not beyond the capability of the community and that the annual meeting, should provide the impetus for such action. He said there was certainly evidence at the meeting of plenty of interest in hospital af- fairs and suggested that it should be directed to useful channels. He said the town of Wingham alone raised $90,000 for the last wing, He further suggested that the avail- able members of the committee which took charge of the drive for the last building program be named as a nominating committee to se- lect persoimel for a new fend - raising body. Mrs, Thompson asked whether the by-laws of the association could be made available to all members of the hospital association. The chair replied that any member who wants to see thein can slip so at any time. W, H, Edwards asked about the grant set-up for new construction, particularly in regard to grants be - Zing calculated on a "per bed" basis, and asked how the cost of operat. frig rooiis and other service areas Winglrafit in 1961 and have anotherIs Mot. Mr. Cousins stated that the following membership of the voca- tional advisory committee: Board chairman Frank Thompson, and board members McTavish, Fortune. Moir and Cousins. Other members will he R. H, Lloyd, H. A. Fuller, W. T. Cruickshank of Wingham and the Chairmen of the Lucknew and Ripley high school boards. Mr. Thompson indicated that more names could be added at a later date. Objects to Committee to .allow the ataff to attend an 'lie Wingham 4dvanec"I'itties, Wednesday: educational workshop• .at l istowei. -.. m., ,.R..,–. _,.., The principal said that It is sus. tomary to engage .a vocational .dlr- ector when such a school is set up, but It may be a good plan to en= gage a consultant on the subject until •such time as a dire'ttor can be obtained. He said that the top vocational anan at Beal Teck in London had been contacted and would assist, The board agreed with the proposal. SalariesSettled Gordon Moir, chairman of the management committee, reported that his committee had been ne- gotiating with the staff on salar- ies and he brought in a report which the board accepted, making a few minor adjustments in the salary schedule, The adjustments allowed for $100.00 increases in the minimum and maximum sal- ary for teachers in the Group 3 and 4 classes as well as similar in- creases for department heads, No adjustments were made In the oth- er categories, Board member Dr. W. A, IvIeKib- bon objected to the formation of this committee and said, "I am through, I am going to the public school board, which appointed me, and resign at the next meeting." During the discussion which fol. lowed, the board discussed a build- ing committee, which would be chosen from the advisory commit- tee, and Dr. McKibben said, "I take a dim view of this," Principal F. E. Madill pointed out that it was necessary under the act to set up an advisory commit- tee, Dr. McKibben replied, "I haven't changed one bit, I'm through," Board member Andrew McTav- ish said, "We most certainly must have representation from the oth- er schools, and we have to follow the act." Dr. McKibben interject- ed, "I'm resigning." Principal Madill said, "As soon as you set up a vocational school you have to set up an advisory committee under the act. The work handled by the committee is always under hoa41 approval. This is the way the department says it must be done." Dr. McKibben stated, "If people not on the board can run the school I am through. I've spent a long time on the board and I'm now through—you'll have a new mem- ber from the public school shortly." He then left the meeting. A few minutes later he returned to say he had phoned the public school board and had been instructed to return to the meeting, but said, "I will not vote." To Return. Monday Mr. Kyles, the architect, said he coukl return on Monday with com- plete sketch plans, and the board agreed to meet with him then and have as many of the advisory com- mittee members on hand as pos- siblc. (This meeting took place as planned and the final sketch plans were approved for forwand- Ing to the Department of Educa- tion.) Corning back to general business, the board approved the minutes of the previous meeting and the monthly accounts. Chairman Thompson was ap- pointed to the Wingham Recrea- tion Committee. Messrs. Thomp- son and Fortune were named as delegates to a zone meeting of the Associated High School Boards at Fergus on February 10th. A letter from Miss Comber was read, thanking the board for new equipment and changes in the home economics room. Principal F. E. Madill reported attendance figures were down due to storm conditions, He said av- erage enrolment for January Was 622 with attendance averaging 88 per cent, He said the school would be closed on Friday, February 2nd grants for these rooms are on a square foot basis. Higher Granit? A. D. Smith, reeve of Turnberry Township, said that he felt requests for hospital grants from county council would be met with a good deal more consideration as a result of discussions at the January ses- sion. It Was his opinion that grants might be considerably higher than the $2,000 per bed spokeh of last year. He credited the Wingham Advance -Times with this change in attitude, for an editorial which ori- ginally appeared in these pages had been re -printed by a Seaforth paper and copies had boon mailed out to each county councillor with good effect. Mr. MCKibbon's suggestion that the former publicity committee nominate a similar group to take immediate action on an addition to the hospital was put in the form of a motion, seconded and carried. Lunch was served following the conclusion of the business pro- ceedings; Town Council (Continued from Page One) the fire department has taken up badly needed space in the firehall that has been used for other town equipment in the past. The fire- men, he said, have done the neces- sary work themselves and It should assist the brigade. Councillor Cr,cickshank, report- ing for the recreation committee, said that junior bowling has been set up and some 90 children from 8 to 18 years of age are bowling every Saturday, and that the pro- gram will probably be extended. A committee was formed, he said, to supervise the program, Council approved a building per- mit for $4,000 covering alterations at the United Dairy and Poultry Co-op building. The treasurer's bond was increased from 4,000 to $10,000. Appointments Councillors Cruickshank and Bu- chanan were appointed to the Riv- erside Parks Board of Management and Robert O. Wenger to the Wing - ham District High School Board. In closing the council decided to have cards printed bearing the names of all municipal organiza- tions and the members on these committees. The cards will be dis- tributed to all householders, Film Showing (Continued from Page One) shown other subjects could be pre- sented in a similar manner. Everyone is welcome and there is no charge, but a silver collec- tion wil be taken. The Film Council offers an excel- lent variety of films which can be used to advantage by groups and organizations. There are 25 films on hand at the public library at all times, which are changed every three months. There is also a catalogue in the library with a vast choice and these may be ordered at any time. Mrs. Harcourt, the librarian, is always pleased to help you select a suitable film for what- ever subject is preferred. SNOOKER'S TOTAL 117 "Snooker", George Cameron's guardian of the pool room, has had four more kittens, which brings the total to 117. Two of this batch died but there are eertainly a great number of her offspring in homes throughout the district. Preacher's Poem To Parishioners The rector of the Anglican Church in Palmerston was disap- pointed in the attendance at the vestry meeting this year, It was estimated that there could have been about 170 but only 23 turned out. Rev. P. J. Smith wrote the following poem, which appeared in the church calendar the next Sun- day: Where on earth, 0 where under heaven, Went the hundred and forty-seven? Marrying a wife, or proving a car? The Lions Club or Eastern Star? Bridge or euchre, or just TV? That all we had was twenty-three? In numbers weak, in spirit strong; For how that meeting moved along, With humor, speed and mutual love That only conies from heaven above. How strong indeed, this church would be, If all were like the twenty-three.
