There were no personal in- juries in the accident but dam- age to both vehicles was exten- sive and the trailer of the se- cond truck jack-knifed across the road. The accident was investiga- ted by Constable Murray Friden- burg of the Wingham O.P.P. several certified engineers, there appeared to be no need for being without such a man on the night shift, when only one man is on duty to look after any emergencies, such as fire. Several board members ex- pressed the same opinion, with the result that a motion was passed, asking the property committee chairman to direct the chief engineer to have a certified 4th class engineer on duty at all times. MANAGEMENT REPORT De Witt Miller, chairman of the management committee, reported on a meeting which had been held on January 9th at which the plans for student training were discussed. Gradu- ates of these courses will be known in future as "registered nursing assistants" rather than "certified" as in the past. Only one such class may be trained in any given year, ra- ther than two classes, as has been the case here. The change has been made as a re- sult of directions from the Dept. of Health. The next class will be ad- mitted in September of this year and 30 applicants will be accepted. Mrs. Lloyd Ellacott has been named assistant in- structress for the training school to work with Mrs. E. Fielding , who is in charge of instruction. The services of a registered physiotherapist, Mrs. Alexan- der of Goderich, have been se- cured on a basis of three days a week. She will work in the Wingham Hospital on Mon- days, Wednesdays and Fridays. HOLIDAYS CLEARED The matter of holidays for nursing personnel was again discussed. The board had pre- viously announced a new plan for vacations with pay but Mrs. Morrey reported•that some misunderstandings still existed. The schedule was set out as follows: For registered and graduate nurses; Three weeks holidays annually after the first year of employment; four weeks after 10 years. For registered nurs- ing assistants, two weeks Va- cation annually after one year of employment; three weeks after three years and four weeks after 10 years. For all other nursing categories (ward aides, orderlies, etc.), two weeks after one year; three weeks after 5 years and four weeks after 10 years. ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Hospital Association will be held on Friday evening, Feb- ruary 1st and the secretary was directed to advertise this fact in three issues of the local and district weekly newspaperscon- cerned, prior to the meeting. Membership tickets will be available at the office in the hospital at $1.00. In order to vote a member must secure his ticket at least 10 days before the meeting. CONFERENCE ROOM One other matter, contained in the report of the property committee was discussed before the close of the meeting. Mr. Cousins stated that a portion of the room which had previously been used by the Hospital Auxil- iary as a sewing room, had been re -decorated and furnish- ed as a conference room tor meetings of such bodies as the board of directors, hospital personnel committee, etc. The chairman said he be- lieved the room was badly needed for meetings, but that there had been some criticism because of the move. The money for the improve- ments he said, had not been taken from hospital funds, but was donated by the Hospital Personnel Committee, a group composed of staff members. Mrs. Morrey read a prepared brief on the subject, in which she expressed shock and disap- pointment at the adverse com- ment she had heard, some of it by board members. She pointed out that the personnel. committee had turned over to her a cheque for more than enough to cover the total out- lay. The brief also made refer- ence to the donations of equip- ment made in the past by the staff to the hospital. It refer- red to a lack of appreciation by board members for the loy- alty and hard work of the staff. Another reference in the brief was to board members who discussed hospital business with the general public. Mrs. Morrey also detailed the history of what were term- ed "misunderstandings" with the Hospital Auxiliary. She stated that every effort had been made to re -assure its members that their services were valued and appreciated. A. D. MacWilliam said that he had been very disturbed when he heard that the room used by the Auxiliary had been taken over for other purposes, but that in view of the explana- tion given by Mrs. Morrey he felt quite satisfied the move was necessary. He suggested a letter should be sent to the auxiliary, expressing the board's appreciation for the work the ladies have done. Barry Wenger expressed grave concern for the interpre- tation which is being placed on the closing of the room to the auxiliary at a time when rela- tions with that group are strain- ed, He said the board has been told on several occasions of the need for determined efforts to- ward good public relations and the results of the conversion of the auxiliary room would have precisely the opposite conse- quence. He urged that an immed- iate approach be made to the auxiliary to discuss problems and misunderstandings. He also said that as a representa- tive of the town of Wingham on the hospital board he had never hesitated to answer the questions of any members of the public who approached him. He stated that he saw no need to view hospital business as that of a "secret society". Robert Coultes, who repre- sents Morris Township on the board, also expressed his con- cern about the public relations aspect of the move and the ill -will which has been created. He urged that every effort be made to clear up the misunder- standing. Several members mentioned the fact that they were com- pletely unaware of the conver- sion of the room until after it was completed. It was pointed out that mention of the propos- ed work had been contained in a property committee report last fall, but no motion was passed by the board of directors Before adjournment of the meeting at 12:45 a.m., a motion was passed that the chairman of the board should express by letter to the presi- dent of the Hospital Auxiliary, the board's sincere apprecia- tion of all the fine and devoted work the ladies have done for 4 the hospital in years past, and the hope that they will con- tinue their efforts, Also the fact that the board is always ready to discuss with the ladies any problems which have ari- sen. The final motion was one accepting the new conference room and expressing apprecia- tion to Mrs. Morrey and the staff for their efforts in its re- decoration and furnishing and for various gifts of equipment which it contains.
