Tour Hospital
Continued from page one.
next year,
Dr. B. N. Corrin, a mem-
ber of the management com-
mittee had been in contact
with Dr. Flowers of Clinton,
who is a recognized internist
and is willing to handle autop-
sies at the Wingham Hospital.
Dr. Penistan of Stratford has
agreed to handle some of the
tissue examinations. An in-
creased number of autopsies
must be undertaken if the hos-
pital is to become accredited.
The report also included the
information that a pharmacist
has been engaged and two ward
clerks have been added to the
staff to permit the nurses more
time for floor duties.
The sympathy of the board
was expressed to F. L. David-
son, an honorary member of
the board and former chairman,
in the death of Mrs. Davidson
last week.
PROPERTY
E. E. Walker, chairman of
the property committee said
that the new incinerator has ar-
rived but has not been in opera-
tion yet. His report also stated
that if the present elevator
shaft is used for a replacement
reconstruction of the pent house
on the roof will be necessary.
Mr. Cousins reported that
the executive and building com-
mittees had met with the archi-
tects and contractors on Thurs-
day when delays in the progress
of the structure were discussed.
The contractor had previously
promised that the new areas
would be ready for occupancy
the first week in April and it
now appears that May is a more
likely time for the move.Floor-
ing tile did not arrive on sche-
dule and• some problems with
windows were cited as the rea-
sons for the delay.
Up to this point in the build-
ing program the hospital has re-
ceived a total of $417, 502 in
grants and loans and approxim-
ately $409, 000 has been paid to
the architects and contractor.
Mr. Walker commended the
maintenance staff for the ex-
cellent work they have done in
construction of cupboards and
cabinets in the building.
MEDICAL STAFF
Speaking for the medical
staff Dr. J. McKim provided
further information about the
arrangements which have been
made with Dr. Flowers. He al-
so reported that the medical
staff members will furnish the
doctors' room in the new area
of the hospital.
DeWitt Miller, chairman of
the public relations committee,
outlined the plans which have
been made to publicize the ser-
vices provided by the hospital
and asked the co-operation of
The Advance-Times, CKNX
and the other papers in the area.
He explained that there will
be a need for considerable ex-
tra equipment which will not be
provided under the allowable
costs in the renovation program.
He said that the public should
be informed that donations for
this extra equipment will be
very welcome. Total amount,
estimated for this requirement
is about $41, 000.
Mrs. Morrey reported that a
bequest in the amount of $200
had been received.

Wingharri Advance-Ti
Town Lot Sold
For Car Wash
Following the last session of
council on April 4th, J. C.
McIntyre has investigated an
often by the town council to
sell him a piece of property be-
hind the Joe Kerr building on
Josephine St. Mr. McIntyre had
requested permission to build a
coin-operated car wash on Al-
fred Street at the last meeting,
but council suggested the land
at the south end of town. An
estimated price of $3, 000 was
offered by council for the land.
This was turned down by Mr.
McIntyre who, at a special ses-
sion of council on Tuesday
night offered, by letter, $2,000
for the property.
After discussing the offer,
council decided to accept the
$2, 000. They also agreed to
bring a water line to the prop-
erty and to open up and grade a
necessary road. Mr. McIntyre
will be required to look after
the cost of drainage.
The property is an area
which has been created by sani-
tary land fill, and is now be-
coming available for use. The
water line will be of such a
size that it can service other
lots in the immediate vicinity.
At the same session of coun-
cil the town fathers agreed to
supply top soil to George Guest,
Harry Bridges and Merril Cante-
lon to be spread by the three
property owners on town land
behind their Diagonal St.homes,
The land in question is at the
top of an embankment which is
town property and is most un-
sightly.
A by-law was passed, cov-
ering the purchase of the De-
partment of Highways patrol de-
pot on Albert Street, and stipu-
lated the property would be
used for municipal affairs only.
SEWAGE PETITION
Council was in receipt of a
petition from ratepayers on the
north side of the river for the
installation of sanitary sewers.
Council discussed the matter at
some length and decided to
take no action until a meeting
of the ratepayers could beheld,
at which time it was hoped to
review the costs with the en-
gineer,
Councillor Callan suggested
that in the light of the prob-
lems being faced by the town in
regard to school financing the
matter should be held in abey-
ance until the town can see
where it is going.
Councillor Bennett suggested
that council should give con-
sideration to a tree-planting
program as a Centennial pro-
ject.
Deputy Reeve Alexander ask-
ed if dogs could be kept tied up
for 12 months of the year. He
stated that several mothers are •
having to take their small child-
ren to school because dogs have
become such a nuisance in the
school area. The subject was
debated briefly and left over un-
til the next regular meeting of
council, at which time Coun-
cillor Callan suggested that
council should invite Police
Chief Miller to outline the prob-
lems regarding dog control.
