the contemplated building pro-
gram and the steps which have
already been taeen to imple-
ment the plan. The compel-
ling factor, he said, is the fact
that tete 1:1116 wing constitutes
a serious fire hazard for the en-
tire hospital and it must he re-
placed.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Mrs. Morrey also expressed
appreciation to all staff and
hoard members and the Ladies'
Auxiliary for their helpfulness.
She said that the hospital had
been complimented by the Ser-
vices Commission and the On-
tario Hospital Association on
the quality of service rendered
to the public and the improve-
ments which have been made.
She outlined the procedures
by which hospital administra-
tion is carried out and briefly
outlined the duties of various
department heads, mentioning
those staff members who have
been taking courses to improve
their fund of expert knowledge
about hospital wore.
In particular Mrs. Morrey
referred to the effectiveness of
the hospital personnel commit-
tee, of which Arnold Taylor is
the chairman. This group, she
said, serves to provide for good
public relations within and
without the hospital, to raise
money for the purchase of need-
ed hospital equipment not pro -

THE BRONZE GOD OF RHODES
by
L. Sprague de Camp
This book staggers the mind
and imagination with its vistas
of ancient history. It is not
dull, dusty history but an inti-
mate glimpse into 'he lives of
people of all classes in this
pt rind four Bent. ries before rhe
birth of Christ. I became so
engrossed in it at one time that
I found myself eventually bar-
ricaded behind seven large vol-
umes of a wcli- enown encyclo-
paedia. Let me assure you
that In order to read and enjoy
the book, one does not require
additional material; but I had
forgotten, if I ever ::new, what
happened in Asia Minor after
the death of Alexander the
Great.
When the Rhodians refused to
join King Antigonus and Deme-
trious, (both generals of Alex-
ander who became rulers) in a
wary against Ptolemyl of Egypt,
Rhodes was besieged. An inter-
esting delegation sought aid
from Egypt -- their adventures
on sea and land reveal much of
the life in Greece and Egypt of
that day. I was amazed at the
ingenuity of their weapons and
machines of war, their industry,
skill and fierce determination.
At that period there was a
tremendous pursuit of know-
ledge -then was the idea born
for iter creat ion of the great lt-
hrar at Alexandria. The:ircul-
tiyatiott of the arts, too, puts
our c:ytlization to shame. Con -
comitant with that, however, as
so often the case, was great de-
cadence in the field of customs
and morals. De Camp's hum-
our is earthy and sophisticated;
his frankness often startling; his
descriptive powers superb.
This tale is told in the first
person by Chares, a sculptor,
pupil of Lysippus, who created
the great Colossus, one of the
Seven Wonders of the ancient
world. In gratitude to the Sun
god, for Rhodes' delivery from
its enemies, this giant statue
was erected. It took eleven
nears to build, but it does not -
bestride the harbour, as many
mistakenly suppose, mislead I
am afraid by William Shakes-
peare.
I recommend this book to
those who wish their knowledge
augmented, their sense titillat-
ed, their imaginations stretch-
ed.

TIIAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH
by
C. S. Lewis
Mr. Lewis' recent death has
drawn attention to his many
books, any or all of which, are
well worth persuing. He writes
with beautiful, precise skill.
Intangibles voiced by him be-
come credible; colour, warmth,
light glow at his pen -point.
Real horror is engendered in
this book in the diabolical ex-
periments devised by the Na-
tional Institute of Co-ordinated
Experiments. Mark Stoddard, a
young fellow at small uni-
versity has his fancy, talents
and energy captured by this
group; while his wife, sadly
enough for their relationship
worsts with the protagonists of
good, headed by Ransom, a
deeply religious philologist.
The struggle between good
and evil has erupted again on

W. B. Anderson's report from
the finance committee contain-
ed the announcement of his
resignation. It stated that some
$16,000 worth of new equip-
ment had been purchased during
the year and also that insurance
coverages have been revised to
a total of $960,000.
Mr. Anderson also mention-
ed the fact that copies of the
auditors' statement had been
given out at the meeting and
he referred to the fact that
there have been some rumors
about "hidden" funds. He said
that all hospital moneys and
the disposition were covered in
the auditors' statement. He
also said that surplus hospital
funds are invested in securities
and are held in case of need for
a building program.
HOSPITAL PROPERTY
J. V. Fischer, chairman of
the property committee, com-
plimented the engineering and
maintenance staff for the fine
wore they have done, and said
that the property is in excellent
condition. His report also out-
lined equipment which had
been added and major repairs
completed during the year. As
a point of interest it was noted
that the laundry handled
345, 972 lbs. of clothes; 4, 981
articles of linen were mended;
1,086 new articles were made,
plus 294 articles by the volun-
tary sewing group.
Dr. W. A. Crawford, chief
of the medical staff, stated
that care in rhe hospital is of a
high calibre. Eight doctors
serve on the regular staff and a
number of others are listed as
consultants.
BUILDING COMMITTEE
Robert Gibson, chairman of
the building committee, out-
lined the steps which have al-
ready been taken to secure pre-
liminary drawings from the
firm of architects retained by
Lewis', the fields of battle were
Mars and Venus). There is a
link in this novel with the Ar-
thurian legend, which many re-
putable scholars believe to be
true history. One of the char-
acters in the closing pages of
the book says, referring to Eng-
land: "Haven't you noticed that
we are two countries? After
every Arthur, a Mordred; be-
hind every Milton, a Cromwell
a nation of poets, a nation of
shop -Beepers; the home of Sid-
ney -- and Cecil Rhodes. Is it
any wonder they call us hypo-
crites? it is not hypocrisy;
it is nursing the spark; incar-
nating the highest which is still
alive in every real people and
different to each
The battle, Lewis feels,
must be waged again and again.

Iaged for .:are and Jane. The

the board, Dunlop, Wardell„
Matsui & Aiken. The building
plan in general calls for the
demolition of the 1906 wing,
the conversion of the 1945 wing
to a service area for operating
rooms, obstetrical services, x-
ray, ete, , and the addition of
a second storey on the 1956
wing to accommodate the beds
lost in the service wing. The
total cost of the project is not
known as yet, and will not be
determined until final plans for
the work cart be drawn. The
preliminary drawings are at
present under study and will
have to be approved by the On-
tario Hospital Services Com-
mission.
Mr. Gibson did point out,
however, that it was obvious a
considerable sum of money will
have to be raised in the area
served by this hospital if the
plan is to be carried through.
He said that the county of Hur-
on will make a sizeable grant to
the hospital for the project, but
that the new Seaford) Hospital
is in line for grant before Wing -
ham.
AUXILIARY
Mrs. W. B. Conron present-
ed the report of the Hospital
Auxiliary which showed total
receipts for the year of
$2,476.58 and a bank balance
on hand of $1,429.62, The re-
port also outlined the various
activities in which the members
of the Auxiliary had been en-
gaged.
Detailed reports were also
received from Miss 'eine Hop-
wood, director of nursing, who
was introduced by Mrs. Morrey,
from Mrs. J. Fielding, senior
instructress of the registered
nursing assistants' course, and
from Arnold Taylor, chairman '
of the hospital personnel com-
mittee.
Mr. Cousins stated that re-
lations within the hospital are
good and that excellent pro-
gress is being made. He refer-
red to the increase in the an-
nual membership fee in the
Hospital Association from Si. no
to $5.00, pointing out that the
change was made when the new
by-laws were drawn up on the
recommendation of OHSC. The
same increase has been made
by other hospitals in the area,
he said.
Jake Hildebrand, speaking
from the floor, asked if life
memberships had been increas-
ed accordingly. J. P. McKib-
bon asked where the revenue
from memberships is directed,
and whether or not it was plac-

ed in the general fund. The
chairman said that it was in-
cluded with the hospital's capi-
tal account which is separate
from the general operating
funds of the institution. Mr.
McKibhon expressed his belief
that the $5.00 fee is too high
and the same opinion was ex-
pressed by Dr. McKim of Luck -
now.
Dr. McKim gave notice of
motion for the annual meeting
next year that the annual mem-
bership fee he reduced to 81.00.
The motion will he put and
voted on at the meeting in
1905.
At the conclusion of the
meeting lunch was served in the
hospital cafeteria.
