Roy Elliott; treasurer, Joan Bernard; financial secretary, Sis. Lois McCall; Warden, Sis. Mae Continued from page 1 area, Koch said government incen- tives of approximately $15,000 in forgivable loans, over four years, would help encourage some to come. The problem with recruiting, said Koch, is that there are 50 other underserviced areas and some are offering up to $50,000. Board members said they could not afford large incentives, with Board Chair Bruce Hahn adding that even a year's free rent would be too much. Koch said that the problem with outreach centres was that doctors had to pay expenses for two offices when they might only be in the sec- ond one only a day or two a week. He asked if there could be some compromise on rent. Centre board members were unsure how this would work finan- cially, but were interested in two or more doctors sharing the space so it was used more fully. "If they want the place totally to themselves, they will have to pay," said Betty Graber, medical/dental centre board member. It was also suggested that a doc- tor from Listowel could be sought as many from the village and Grey Twp. currently go to Listowel for health care. It was noted that many seniors in the community are in turmoil since their physicians have left. The option of having Dr. Hanlon con- tinue his practice in Brussels, possi- bly with a new doctor, until the The BMG Rec Board asked two members to attend a meeting to plan a New Year's celebration for the year 2,000. Steve Steiss and Mery Bauer will attend.

Joyce Jacklin; colour bearer, Sis. Gertie Kellington. The installing team was dressed in black skirts, white blouses, with a colourful vest. new physician was established, was discussed. When asked about the recruit- ment techniques, Underwood said they are looking at two couples where both husband and wife are doctors as well as a female physi- cian. Underwood asked the board members if there was a problem for patients seeing one doctor one week and another the next week. Graber said this was not a prob- lem as the patients could go to the home office or schedule a visit around a certain doctor. This is the current practice with the Seaforth doctors who work out of the same building. There was also talk of acquiring Madeline Steiss; press reporter, Nora Stephenson. THE Bus stops h ere THE Bus will be in Brussels Oct. 26 and Nov. 9. THE (Toys for Homes Everywhere) Bus is a mobile resource and toy lending library which travels to various communities throughout Huron County. This program of Rural Response for Healthy Children has proven to be a successful and valued tool in providing access to resources that may otherwise be limited by isolation and transportation problems. The current vehicle is no longer meeting the needs of the program and therefore the new bus has arrived. The inaugural run took place on Oct. 1 with an official ceremonial launch in Dashwood. a doctor who used Brussels as the home base and had privileges at Wingham, a very appealing option for board members. After listening to the discussion, Underwood said the WDH board members were there to hear ideas, gather thoughts, then go back and try to work something out. "We wanted to hear some figures and concerns from you," said Mur- ray Hunter of the WDH board. "We needed to know the financial feasi- bility and viability." The final consensus was that the WDH recruitment committee.. would include Brussels in their packaging of the hospital commu- nity and would do anything they could to help.
