NEW COMMITTEES HOSPITAL BOARD AND MEDICAL STAFF MEET The board of directors of. the Wingham General Hospital and the full medical staff met on Mon- day night to discuss various phases of the hospital organi'ration, The meeting was under the chairnran- ship of R. B, Cousins. As a result of the talks it was decided to dis- solve the former Joint Conference Committee and to form a new one. It was the belief of both doctors and board that the former ten -man board was too large and unwieldy. The new committee will consist of three board members 'and three doctors, with the hospital admin. istrator as an ex-officto;metnb4i.. .,- During the meeting .the medical' staff and board discussed recom- mendations recently made by the Ontario Hospital Services Cotrrnis- Sion 111 regard to staff organiza- tion within the hospital. The medi- cal, men expressed general approv- al of the recommendations and ex- pressed the hope that the board would implement them as speedily as possible. The by-laws of the Hospital As- sociation are undergoing revidion at the present time and some of the changes were discussed with the doctors. Some time was devoted to the need for more registered nurses on the staff, and the lack of a physio- therapist. Mrs..Morrey explained . that the board has been advet•tis- ing over a period of many months in an effort to obtain a physioth= apist, tvithout success. Other meth- ods of seeking such a person were suggested and will be tried. Included in the changes to the by-laws are rules for the setting up o1 several' new committees, one at least of 'which will facilitate the handling of any grievances and wage problems which may arise within the staff. • Mrs. D, Thornton.

All Churches Crowded r CHILDREN BAPTIZER ON CASTER SUNDAY The front of the church, banked with memorial Easter 'lilies, inter. spersed 'with white candles, made an appropriate setting for the sac• red Easter service which was held iChurch in . Wingham 'United on Sunday morning, conducted by .Rev. T. b. Hussey, minister. Mr. Husser spoke frau the sub- ject, "A Grave in this Garden'; bas -1 ed on St. John, 19:41, "Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, and there they laid'Jesus." A garden In the spring- time is .a•.place-.of resurrection and froijti., there Jesus arose. The tes- timblryof. Yids, resurrection was cofivineing; coming from those who had seen and met Him after He arose, but was difficult to believe by those who had seen Him cru- cified and die. In our day there are many who can testify to the living image of Christ, this is our faith, Out of a night of disap- pointment and suffering can come a new life if we accept this faith. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life" and each one of us must, decide upon which side of the cross he Is living, the crucifixion or the resurrection. This is what Easter means to us. Special Easter music had been ' prepared by the choir under the leadership of H. C. 'Treneer, dir- ector of music. 'Three anthems were sung, "Awake Thou that Sleepest", by Maker, "Cheer Up. Friends and Neighbours", by Shaw and "Christ the Lord Is Risen", by Shaw. Mrs. George Guest sang the solo from the Messiah, "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth". A Dutch carol, "This Joyful Easter- tide", was given by the junior choir, which occupial seats in the gallery., Ross Vogan led in the parents Who were presenting their children for the sacrament of 1014011 brap- 1tam, There were christened by Mr, Hussar: Edwin Robert, sol of Mr. and Mrs, Wilfred Baines, and C'he tylt Lynn, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Eari Douglas lierrt son of Goderich.

Collar organist. Rev. Sinclair took the letters of Easter as the theme of the morning sermon, the letters standing for early comers, angel, stone, tidings, evidence of the resurrection and re- joicing. The title was "The First Easter Morning". The subject of the evening ser- mon was "The First Easter Eve- ning". Mr. Sinclair spoke of: `the appearance of Christ to His',;tlis- ciples and noted that it was b; refect assembly.

Council discussed the subject at some length and instructed the clerk to write to Mr. Grose's sol- icitor and provide the necessary in- formation, (The Advance -Times has ascer- tained from the legal department of the Liquor Control Board of On- tario that If a hotel is built in Wingham before It can he licensed far cocktail lounge or beverage rooms, a Local option vote would have to be held and an affirma- tive ballot registered before the Liquor Control Board would grant the necessary license for the es- tablishment. The provision fon' a local option vote are contained in the Liquor License Act). Parking Meters The council took nearly four hours to listen to representatives of four parking meter . manufac- turers as they provided information and demonstrations of their pro- ducts. Council did not make a de- cision on what type of meter to purchase, but will probably do so before the May meeting. Time ran out before the budget could be approved, but another special meeting will be set to es- tablish the mill rate for the year.

REQUEST "WICK SCHOOL DEBENTURES Perm.isaion to issue debentures to cover the cost of 'a 16 -room cen- tral public school has been asked by the Howick Township council. The request was made to the On- tario Municipal Board. The issue of a central school has been most contentious in the town- ship, as ratepayers in the north had petitioned council to release three school sections in the Bel. morearea for incorporation in 11 smaller central school in that centre. School sections In Culross, Turnberry and Carrick were re. leased from their respective town. ships to set up the proposed Bel - more school. However, the How - ick Council refused the request to release the three sections In the northwest of the township on a. three-to.two vote. The ratepayers then took the matter for arbitra- tion to the Huron County Council which set the matter aside until next June. Another petition requesting the 16 -room school proposal be put to a vote was also rejected by the council, It is not known what effect the request for debentures will More on the proposed school at Delmore.
