Christian worship and devotion
for all peoples throughout the
ages.

ways and means of women to-

Women Meet at Ontario Hospital
For
Region's Autumn Conference -41i'
Mrs. J. W. English, Mrs. A.
M. Peebles, Mrs. J. P. Alex-
ander and Mrs. W. B. Cruik-
shank attended the autumn con-
ference of Regional Council
No. 2, The Women's Hospital
Auxiliaries Association, last
Thursday in Goderich. About
150 delegates were present from
London, Ingersoll, Woodstock,
Tillsonburg, Stratford, St.
Marys, Exeter, Goderich, Sea -
forth and Wingham. Registra-
tion took place in North Street
United Church, and a delicious
smorgasbord luncheon was en-
joyed. After lunch the dele-
gates assembled at the Ontario
Hospital where guides conduct-
ed small groups on an extreme-
ly interesting tour during which
there was ample evidence of
the high calibre of the work
which is already being done in
this splendid new hospital.
The business meeting was
held in the hospital auditorium.
In her remarks as president,
Mrs. Frank Fingland stated that
there is now greater need than
ever before for the work of
dedicated Auxiliary women in
services, fund-raising, and as
ambassadors of good will b&-
tween the hospitals and the
general public.
GIVES HISTORY
The speaker of the after-
noon, Dr. John Hagan, hospital
superintendent, traced the his-
tory of mental hospitals from
the early institutions of the
European Church to the present.
In Ontario, the first hospital in
this fairly new branch of medi-
cal science was the Ontario
Hospital in Toronto, build in
1850. Towards the end of the
century several new hospitals,
each serving a large area,
were established. At that time
isolation between the hospitals
and the homes led to lack of
knowledge which in turn pro-
duced prejudice and criticism.
Rules and regulations were very
strict.
Since then, and especially
in the last fifteen years, there
have been tremendous changes
in the field of mental health.
Now the hospitals have become
much less isolated, and kind-
ness, a minimum of restraint
and the allotment of a certain
amount of responsibility charac-
terize the treatment. Also,
nowadays, the actual stay in
hospital is only one phase of
the treatment much of which,
due to the use of modern drugs,
can be continued at home. Re-
habilitation is being emphasiz-
ed, but there is a long way to
go before its full potential is
developed. A Department of
Rehabilitation has been set up.
Attention is being turned to
sheltered workshops for the
handicapped.
One of the most pressing
needs in psychiatry is for re-
search into the causes of mental
illness. This is expensive, and
so far the amount spent in this
field is small compared to
amounts invested in research in-
to other health problems. The
policy now is to build smaller
hospitals. No huge hospitals
such as the 2, 000 bed institu-
tion at St. Thomas are being
built. Dr. Hagan also stated
that there are no security cases
at Goderich.
There are still remnants of
stigma in the public attitude bu
this is gradually being overcom
as people come to understand
mental health better. Advances
in recent years include the ad-
dition of psychiatric wings to
several general hospitals, and
the establishment of Mental
Health Clinics, some travelling,
some stationary.
AUXILIARY'S ROLE
Dr. Hagan spoke of the con-
tributions a Hospital Auxiliary
can make to an Ontario llospi-
tal. Its activities are primarily
concerned with the patients in
the hospital, in recreation,
training, and to some extent,
fund-raising. The interest
shown in the patients helps the
treatment, and the liaison with
the community helps to break
down prejudice. There is a pos-
sibility that in the future such a
group may be formed in Huron
County.
Following the address, Mrs.
L. Walzak of Goderich sang two
beautiful solos, "When I Have
Sung My Songs", and "Go, Love-
ly Rose".
The courtesy remarks were
made by Mrs. Gillett of Tillson-
burg, and the meeting closed
with prayer. The Region will
meet next in Clinton in April.
C.W,L. Sale
The Catholic Women's
League held a very successful
tea and bake sale in the coun-
cil chambers on Saturday after-
noon. Mrs. George Skinn and

the guests at the door.
