The interest was brought to light at the November 14 meeting of the hospital board. R. P. Ritter, board chairman, told the other members that he had re ceived an inquiry from LaVer- endrye Hospital in Fort Frances, Ontario, requesting information about the type of toboggan and snowmobile used by the Wing - ham's emergency unit. Apparently the interest was aroused after a story titled "Neither Snow Nor Sleet" was printed in an Ontario Hospital Association publication which is distributed to all the hospitals in the province. • The unit was pioneered by the ambulance department of Wing ham and District Hospital. an The hospital's maintenance de- partment modified the tobog- gans, which are basically stretchers, pulled by snow- mobiles, by adding a "T" bar to the existing tow. bar. The units are used to transport injured patients from inacces- sible snow -bound areas to waiting airibulanees whieh then take the patients to the hospital.
