Chairman R. 13, Cousins, of the Wingham Hospital Board of directors, reported to the No- vember meeting on Friday eve- ning that several problems in connection with the nursing staff had been discussed and agreement reached. He was referring to a meet- ing which was held in October at which representatives of the board and the full graduate nursing staff gathered. One of the subjects under discussion at that time was the salary sched- ule. Mr. Cousins said that in some cases the nurses were not clear about the salary schedule and the system of increments. It was his belief that these mis- understandings had been clear- ed up at the meeting. Another subject which had been the source of some dissat- isfaction was the matter of sta- tutory holidays. It has been customary to have the staff work a 371- hour week, and not allow statutory holidays. How- ever, most of the nurses agreed that they would prefer to work a 40 hour week and receive the eight statutory holidays or equi- valent days. The board agreed to this al- terationin the working sched- ule. SICK TIME The board also agreed to the establishment of a "bank" sys- tem for sick time under which the employees would be permit- ted to accumulate a credit for paid sick leave at the rate of one day per month up to a max- imum of 30 days. They had re• quested payment for sick time not used to a total of 6 days annually, but it was explained that this is termed a "fringe benefit" and is not permitted by OHSC. At the request of the staff statements of pension accumu- lation will be available at the CASH—if you live. CASH—if you die. Protection for the family. Comfort in your retirement —All in one policy. Consult — Frank C. Hopper -- REPRESENTATIVE — Ca.nada Life WINGHAM, ONT. PHONE 462 hospital office at any time. Holidays for the nursing staff were also discussed. Up to this time the schedule of paid an- nual holidays has allowed two weeks after one year of service; three weeks after five years and four weeks after ten years. Under the new arrangement all nursing personnel will be granted three weeks holidays after the first year of service. All these changes were put into effect in order to bring the regulations at the local hospi- nal as closely in line as possible with those of other hospitals in this area. Chairman DeWitt Miller of the management committee read the new salary schedule by departments, totalling some $447,000.00, an increase of about 6% over last year. Mrs. I. Morrey, hospital ad- ministrator, gave the statistics for October, reporting 31 births, 45 operations,109 outpatients, 286 x-rays, 5 basal metabolism ratings, 12 blood transfusions, 1415 laboratory procedures, 26 electrocardiographic examina- tions, 47 at the cancer clinic. Total hospital patient days were 2785 for a daily average of 90. Chairman J. V. Fischer, of the property committee, said that the recently-putchased gen- erator had been installed in the hospital building and that the former stand-by generator is now for sale. Heads Laymen Wilford Caslick of Wingham was elected president of the United Church Men of Huron Presbytery at the annual rally of that organization held in Clin- ton on Monday evening.

To read of his childhood and what appears to be a run-of-the-mill middle- class existence makes all the more shocking and at the same time convincing, his belief in the continuing power of a witch, of whom he is a descendant. The human relationships in this macabre tale make it worth reading. Lurking below the sur- face are many unquiet spirits here and today. It is fortunate that they do not all take the action that concluded this book. The second book is THE ELEVENTH HOUR by Robert B. Sinclair It is as American middle-class in setting as the first is English. It concerns an unsuccessful wri- ter with a nagging wife. He plans a perfect crime in thepro- cess of writing what promises to be a saleable short story. When he realizes that he has pattern- ed his characters after himself and his wife, he decides that action is better than fiction. Although we are observers from the very conception of the crime, none the less a most skillful atmosphere of tension is maintained. There is a surprise ending to this book too -perfect nemesis. The third book is WITH ONE STONE by Richard and Frances Lockridge An apparent accident proves to be murder and then the murder triples quickly—A11 in the lush setting of an oil tycoon's subur- ban estate. The Lockridges write well as a team—no cats in this story though, and only one dog, and that near the end. They have developed a fine skill for describing settings indoors and out. Even their detective has a private life—with that the book begins and ends. Thepast draws many red herrings across the trail in this mystery but at least two readers solved the crime before the end. Iwonder if others will. FORD WICH Mr. Scott Keith of Hamilton visited a couple of days last week with Mr. and Mrs. Alex Keith. Week -end and Sunday visi- tors with Mr. and Mrs. Wm'.

After welcoming the visiting groups, the minister, Rev. C.M. Jardine spoke on the subject, "What Makes a Nation Great" , basing his talk nn Psalm 33,12, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord", He recalled the two world wars and noted the difference in the participation of the people at home, and the devastation caused, which would be much greater in a fu- ture war. It is not the winning of wars, but by practising the teachings of Christ and living them in our every day lives, that makes a nation great. The Bible says that the love of home and country comes through the love of God and faith in Him. Mr. Jardine closed with the word from Proverbs, "Righteous- ness exalteth a nation, but sin. is a reproach to any people." Under the direction of H.C. Treneer, the choir provided ap- propriate music. The anthum, "Recessional", by Kipling was sung, with Mr. Treneer taking the solo and Mrs. W. W. Currie at the organ. At the close, Mrs. George Guest sang the lovely solo, " There is No Death". At the front of the church, a grouping of flags and poppies centred by the cross and the open Bible made a suitable set- ting for this impressive service. .�r PERSONALS —Mr. and Mrs. George Ter- vit are visiting this week in Windsor with Mr. and Mrs. Wal-. lace Burns. —Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Mac- Donald and family visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Har- man Mitchell in Rothsay. —Mr, and Mrs. Frank Gib- bons and daughters, Vicky Anne and Francine of London spent the week -end with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Gibbons. --Mr. and Mrs. A.
