said that members Qf the beard
would be expected to act as
commissionaire: in case of a
large-scale emergency and
some would have to .act as liai-
son officers. to contact the dir-
ectors of other essential services
in the community when neces-
sary.
It was agreed that the board
members who reside in Wing-
ham would have the prime du-
ties in any emergency because
they would be able to reach the
hospital with the least delay.
The chairman and vice-chair-
man (if residents of the town ,a.5
is the case at present time) will
act as co-ordinators and tele-
phone contacts.
In order to clarify the status
of the former nurses' residence -
training school building on Ca-
therine Street the board moved
that the official name will
henceforth be the Hospital Clin-
ic Building, in reference to its
future -function in the hospital
complex.
EXCELLENT REPORT
The administrator described.
the recent visit of a hos ital
assessment team from the Col-
lege of Physicians and Surgeons.
The team included several doc-
tors and a hospital administra-
tor who had spent the better
part. of .a day here going over
the ,physical facilities of the
hospital and all records and pro-
cedures. She said that they
were apparently surprised bythe
high.standards maintained here
and commended• all td a p.a r t
ments for their efficiency.
doted in particular was the hos-
pital-based ambulance service.
The chairman read a letter
from the Ontario Hospital Serv-
ices Commission which inform-
ed the board that if doctors on.
the staff of the local hospitalin-
tend to perform therapeutic
abortions under the revised fed-
eral statutes, an abortion com-
mittee of medical staff must
be established, Dr. R. D. Wil-
kins said the matter will be
brought before the medicalstaff
meeting at the first opportunity.
Mrs. ' Morrey expressed some
concern over the lower than
average' number of patients in
care during the summer and fall.
.months, explaining that the sit-
uation could adversely affect
the budget program: The hos-
pital receives its function sup-
port from OHSC on the basis of
patients under care so that low-
er hospital population means
lower income.. Overhead costs,
however, remain unchanged
and a deficit is then inevitable.
.MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
J. T. Goodall, , chairman of
the management committee,
reported on a meeting held the
previous week, as well as the
report on nursing; dietary and
'ambulance departments.. The
ambulances made 40 trips in

Port Stanley, who has excellent
qualifications after training in
England and experience in sev-
eral Canadian hospitals, .will

wood, who intendsto retire at
the end of Januafy. a Miss Nortis
will commence her duties here
on January 12.
It was also reported that Mrs.
McKenzie and Mrs; Marks,
both members of the nursing
staff have tried and successfully

inations. Congratulations were

manent staff now numbers 196,
