John Crew- son, first vice-president, were also present. The meeting was held in the Downtowner Hotel, Guest speaker for the dinner was Mrs. Betty Archer of Toronto, who spoke on the individual require- ments for good leadership. Mrs. Kay Score, London, chaired the meeting. She is the 1st vice-president of District A and a member of the Provincial Board.

Twenty-two members were present. Mrs. Clarence White open- ed worship with a hymn. Mrs. George Michie read ScApture and Mrs. Clarence White led in prayer. The offering was received and all members re- peated the thanksgiving prayer. Mrs. Wm. Coultes conduct- ed business. Minutes were read and the penny collection was With a million dollar renova- tion and reconstruction program completed only this year, the crowded conditions at the Wing- ham and District Hospital are al- ready suggesting the need for expgnsion. The recent build- ing program, of course, added only a few beds, the major por- tion of the work being for the modernization of facilities which were formerly housed in the original and outdated hospi- tal wing. Chairman R. B. Cousins of the hospital's board of directors, at the October meeting on Fri- day evening, remarked on the overcrowding when the statis- tical report showed that the av- erage number of patients under care in September was 89. To- tal capacity is slightly over 100 and hospital regulations require that a reasonable number of beds be held in reserve for em- ergencies. Dr. W. A. McKibbon said that it was possible the crowd- ed conditions were partially caused by delayed admissions, held back during the building period, but also said he doubt- ed this was the major cause. Other statistics for the month were: 190 admissions, 17 births, 179 discharges, 5 deaths, 139 operations, 231 outpatients, 375 x-rays, 44 electrocardio- graphic examinations, 41 at cancer clinic, 3 coroner's re- ports, 221 physiotherapy treat- ments. Lab tests totalled 4736, to make the total for the year almost double that of a year ago. Dr. McKibbon also com- mented that the statistical re- port indicated the need for more staff in both outpatients' department and laboratory and that thought should be given to these problems in preparation of the budget. NURSING HOME NEEDED Another point of discuss Itt was the need for a high gra nursing home in this commun ity. It was pointed out that Huronview at Clinton is admit- ting only about four patients a week, although there are still empty beds in that institution. Mrs. I. E. Morrey, hospital ad- ministrator, said that there are several patients who could be transferred to a nursing home if tangside W.M,S. and Ladies' Aid. WHITBCHURCH.-The Thurs*, day meeting of the Lengside W, M.S., was held at the home of Mrs. George Young, Mrs. Charles Tiffin gave the opening prayer and Mrs. Wes- ley Young read Scripture, Mrs. Peter DeDoer offered prayer. The minutes were read by Mrs. Gordon Wall and roll call was answered by eleven with a verse of Scripture. Mrs. Welsh offered her borne for the No- vember meeting when Mrs. W. Young and Mrs. William Orr will prepare the program. Mrs. Stewart McGillvary received and dedicated the offering. A former member, Mrs. Far- ish Moffat of Wingham, spoke on Thanksgiving.

Mrs. Gordon Wall presided for the Ladies' Aid meeting when it was decided to look af- ter the pot luck supper at the close of Sunday School for the winter months.

The hostess served lunch and courtesy remarks were given by Mrs. C. Tiffin. received. Six home and 18 hospital visits were recorded. A committee of Mrs. Bob Gras- by, Mrs. Wm. Coultes and Mrs. George Johnston was nam- ed to check on prices for com- munion plates, serving trays, etc., and to decide on the pur- chase to be made from money which had been raised from sale of pies and a talent sale. Mrs. Jack Taylor gave a report on the worship workshop for the U.C.W. which was held in Blyth. The general meet- ing will be October 19th. such accommodation was avail- able. It was agreed that a joint meeting with representatives from the Wingham, Walkerton and Listowel Hospitals will be called to discuss details of a new plan for disability insur- ance to cover hospital staffs. The administrator said that all the students in the register- ed nursing assistants' course had passed with high averages, many with honors. She also showed the board a sketch of a fountain and recreation court which will be the staff project over coming months. The fountain would be placed in the grassed area facing Carling Ter- race toward the north of the building. It would provide a place in which ambulatory pa- tients could spend some time outdoors in the fine weather. Mr. Cousins also announced that Mrs. Morrey had been nominated as a prospective member of the American Acad- emy of Medical Administrators, She will write examinations for admission to this body. AMBULANCE The ambulance department was inspected by provincial of- ficials recently and the report following their visit described the service as one of the best in this part of the province. They recommended the purchase of a proper chair for carrying pa- tients downstairs. Mrs. Morrey said that Peter Norman and one other ambulance attendant would take a one month course at Camp Borden. Mrs. Morrey reported that the provincial authorities have requested an opportunity to meet with members of the hos- pital board and representatives of the participating munypali- ties in November to discuss changes in the regulations cov- ering ambulance services. She said that there appears to be a strong possibility that the upper levels of government will as- sume responsibility for the fin- ancial support of the service. A letter from the Ministerial Association asked that two or three parking spaces at the rear of the hospital be marked for the use of visiting clergymen. In discussion it developed that Rummage sale nets almost. $900 The rummage sale held by the Auxiliary to the Wingham and District Hospital in the arena on Saturday was the usual financial success.

Mrs. Allan Dunbar read "A Community Grows''. parking space is at a premium and the matter had to be de- ferred until more room is avail- able. MANAGEMENT Reporting for the manage- ment committee, Chairman Barry Wenger said that there had been 21 resignations from staff, and five replacements have been engaged. As a result the graduate nursing staff is short-handed, but it is expect- ed that several of the vacancies will be filled by the end of this month. A physiotherapist with excel- lent qualifications from Bom- bay, India, has accepted a po- sition on the hospital staff here and word is expected shortly as to his time of arrival. Dr. McKibbon, reporting for the medical staff, spoke of how well the new doctors were work- ing within the hospital and the fine spirit of co-operation which prevails.
