According to a brief history of the Seaforth Hospital Auxiliary a group of women met to form 'The Women's Hospital Aid' at the Carnegie Library in Seaforth on February 8, 1933. The executive at that ume was Mrs. Charles Holmes, President; Mrs. Keith McLean, 1st Vice President; Mrs. W. P. Lane, 2nd Vice President; Mrs. Ross Sproat, 3rd Vice President; 4th Vice President, Mrs. E. Appleyard; Mrs. Area auxiliaries visit Seaforth Should hospital auxiliaries have babysitting services for young members? Are the active volunteers in hospital auxiliaries appreciated enough for the work they do? Should Auxiliary members wear uniforms? These were some of the questions a number of Ontario Hospital Aux- iliary representatives asked while in Seaforth for the President's Work- shop. Marjorie Johns, of South Huron Hospital in Exeter, said she enjoyed hearing the whole session. "Our problems aren't all the same as some of the big (hospitals)," she said, but noted "there's value in listening to others." There are big changes coming to health care, she said, but "I don't think we know where we're going yet." The Seaforth hospital was compli- mented by Ellen Bowden, of Guelph General Hospital. She said it was interesting to see a smaller hospital. "It seems more friendly," she said. "In a big place you lose that feeling." The workshop dealt with how to attract volunteers to the Hospital Auxiliary, she said, noting that some people are at first afraid to enter a hospital. The hospital auxiliaries have many of the same problems, said Marguerite Leckie, of Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich. "We learn from each other because we're all presidents." The day of learning, hosted by Region Two Chairperson Frances Teatero and Seaforth Community Hospital, benefitted both large and small hospitals. The hospitals included: St. Marys Memorial, Clinton Public, Stratford General, Kitchener -Waterloo, Palmerston and District, Cambridge Memorial, Louise Marshall, Guelph General, Wingham and District, South Huron and Alexandra Marine and General.
