Nurses' Requests
Mit by Hospital Bd.
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

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.

—You'll Save Money at Hayes—
IN THE LIBRARY
By DORIS G Mi•KIBBON
In tune with this time of
"ghoulies, ghosties, long-leggity
beasties and things that go bump
in the night, " I wish to present
three books which will make
your skin prickle into goose -flesh
The first one is,
THE UNQUIET SPIRIT
by Marguerite Steen
This book is quite a change from
the monumental triology that
traced the lives of the Flood
family, beginning with " The
Sun Is My Undoing," This is
the story of a man's almost life-
long obsession. 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

Scouts and Cubs
At United Church
Following the public memor-
ial service at the cenotaph on
Sunday morning, the Boy Scouts
and Wolf Cubs with their leaders
marched to Wingham United
Church, where they occupied
the centre pews and took part in
the special Remembrance Day
Services.
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.
