SEATING OUT—
If you want to be next to a bit of

down to the Riverside Park,
which is particularly attractive
this year. Only drawback seems
to be the mosquito population ex-

park site adjacent to Victoria and
John Streets along the river.

Lions install
new executive
The Lions Club of Wingham
held its monthly meeting follow-
ing a dinner at the Manor Hotel
Tuesday evening of last week.
The installation of new officers
for 1973-74 took place.
Guy Gibbons, Owen Sound,
public speaking chairman of dis-
trict A-9 Club, did the installation
assisted by Norm Coghlin, past
district governor from Atwood.
Taking over from Gord Walter as
the new president was Russell
Zurbrigg.
Also at the meeting, Jim Beat-
tie, chairman of the Recreation
and Community Centres Board
approached the Lions Club with a
proposal that the club, along with
the Kinsmen and Royal Canadian
Legion manage the Wingham
Midget Hockey Tournament to be
held next year.
Originally the tournament was
sponsored by the Lockridge
family and was known as the
Lockridge Memorial Midget
Tournament. Last year the
tournament was handled by the
Recreation Board.
Mr. Beattie informed the club
that he would be approaching the
other two organizations with his
proposal at their next meetings
and asked that he be made aware
of the Lions' decision before the
end of July.
A motion was passed by the
Lions that depending on the reac-
tion of the Kinsmen and the Le-
gion,,theyr would agree to having
two members from each, along
with two members of the recrea-
tion board further investigate the

were considered. .
c n _ The meeting
also approved a list of the 'drugs
which staff nurses are permitted
to administer without the
presence of a doctor.
The doctors had also given con-
sideration tothe means by which
total hospital days cofild be re-
duced .andhad some useful sug-
gestions . which are now being
carried out.
Dr. McKim said he had re-
ceived_a letter from the Chief
Coroner for Ontario, outlining a
case in another hospital where a
patient .had died because the
doctor on call could not be located
in time. The letter strongly urged
that on-call docors be equipped
with monitoring devices so they
could ,be reached promptly and
alerted' to emergencies arriving
at the hospital.
