(News -Record photo) New nursingdirector has many. responsibilities By Chris'Zdeb Barbara Coope is the most important -woman • on staff at the Clinton Public"Hospitaand lig been since April -23, when she tot* over the post of Director of Nursing from recently retired Kathleen Elliott. She is responsible for 50 to 75 nurses, who work full and part time at `the hospital and spends most of her tiilhhe in maintaining a qualified staff. Miss Cooper admits however; that she feels the upkeep of quality 'nursing care being given at the hospital is the most ,important of h,er duties, which_ _number the control of the nursing budget; analysis of nursing care; and the updating of nursing policy and standards. The 37 -year-old native' of Arvida. Quebec was a teacher and program co-ordinator, at the Stratford Nursing Division of Conestoga College before coming to Clinton, and she said she finds the pressures of her present job less than those demanded of her when she was °h nursing instructor. "There still is a demand on me to keep performing 'but the tension is less on getting things done." she said. "As a teacher I had a feeling of productivity . but there was alstr a feeling of never being done. Here, I can go home and leave My' job behind me, yet 'know that the hospital Isingood hands.” Home. is an old t€arm house built around- /he turn of the century that stands east of Exeter in Perth County. "My roommate and I hate been renovating the house for about a year now," Miss Cir said "We're putting -in a garden and we really have our hands full with three dogs and three cats."

Mostly In Clover.was already a smash with those who had seen it. He had a tough act to follow and had the added burden of the fact that many people .who saw Clover might be coming back expecting more of the same. It was.warmingfor him, then that the • audience en- thusiastically received the Agatha Christie mystery thriller. It is after all, an en .tirely different kind of show " than Clover. Its whole purpose is to eget people on the edge of a' theseats, not have them rolling in dthe aisles: And the show srieceede+r '2 In this direction. At one point at the end of the first act several younger members of the audience went clear off their • seats at one•of, the particularly thrilling moments of the play. Not that' there isn't comedy too. Ron Swartz in his roll as a rather disturbed young- ar- chitect had the audience so conditioned to his comedy that by the end of the night all he had to do was appear on stage to set some people laughing. To. play features strong performances by every member of ' the cast. Par- • ocularly pleasing is the part played by local amateurs in the large cast. 'Weida McElroy as Mrs,, Boyle is positively tremendous. Pat Hulley, in one of -her first .stage performances is very strong as Miss Casewell, the tough bitten world traveller, Don Nicholson as the Major also gives a strong performance and Doug Palmer, of Clinton, as Paravicini ab- solutely sends shivers up the spine- Chu,rcltSers ce Rev., Harold Snell of, Fxeter conducted the service in Carl Presbyterian Church on Suzy, Bring an in, -spirit 1 o lythe Light of. lite d ' Je ! :'¢' Miss " l preSideff ;at < organ Miss Sylvia Bell and Missy Einda Bell provided aduet' on the electric guitar and organ entitled "Love is a Beautiful Song" - Rev.
