You will be entitled to; • at least one week's vacation with pay each year for the first three years of employment, payment to be on the basis of at least 2% of your pay for all work done during the vaca- tion year, and • when you have completed 36 months of continuous or non-continuous employment with the same employer you will be entitled to two weeks' vacation with pay.

LAKELET Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Wilson and family of Fordwich were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc- Comb and daughters attended the Miller reunion at Kurtzville on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Keeso of Clifford were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. Gadke. called for continued use of the present entrance directly into the south elevator, but when it was found necessary to rebuild the elevator it was decided to make a new ambulance ent- rance into the south corner of the building, which is expected to be more efficient and will reduce the cost of the cab to be installed in the present elevator shaft. The new entrance will be reached by an inclined vehicle ramp from Carling Terrace. A canopy will cover the area where ambulances stop, to pro- vide protection from the weath- er for unloading. Cost of the alteration has not yet been de- termined by the architects. Mrs. English reported that the Hospital Auxiliary had held a very successful rummage sale and tag days, total proceeds from which amounted to over $1200.00. Mrs. Morrey expressed ap- preciation to CKNX and The Wingham Advance-Times for the excellent coverage provid- ed when patients were moved into the new wing a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Cousins stated that a meeting of the ambulance com- mittee will be held on Thurs- day evening of this week to further study the action which will be taken to provide ambu- lance service for the area serv- ed by the hospital. The com- mittee is composed of the hos- pital board's executive com- mittee and four district muni- cipal representatives. The chairman said that since the last meeting in regard to ambulances there have been several news releases in the press indicating that the Ontar- io Hospital Services Commis- sion would assume some respon- sibility for providing such ser- vice. He pointed out, howev- er, that though OHSC has indi- cated intention to subsidize ex- isting ambulances service by 50 0/0, there was no indication that the Commission would as- sume responsibility for any capital cost expenditures in- volved in the purchase of vehi- cles or equipment. FINANCE REPORT Mrs. Morrey reported that the daily ward rate cost has risen to $26.09 as compared with the budget allowance of $23.05, but explained again that the increase is due to the comparatively light hospital population necessitated by the building program. Revenue to the end of May was some $29, - 000 below the budget figure. Mr. Cousins reported that a Howick Lions Bingo Winners Bill Kennedy, Wingham and Mrs. K.

To date only 12,500 applications have been received.

The meeting appointed De- Witt Miller as chairman of the finance committee and appoint- ed Alton Adams as a member of the same committee. U.C.W.
