Allis asked: "Should legislation be drafted tp enable hospital boards to operate nursing homes and aux- iliary services?" With an over- all plan for bhe various cate- gories of need, he declared, the multieEtation of hospital beds is "like weaving a net to catch the wind.

In view of the enlarged en- rolment at Central Huron sec- ondary school, the Health Board, of which deputy reeve Delbert Geiger of Hay Town- ship is chairman, has made it practicable for Mrs. McRae, Pi blie„ health nurse in Clinton, to still do the work in her dis- trict, to carry out secondary school counselling by appoint- ment, and to supervise the roVne and emergency ,duties performed by Mrs. B. Riley, reg. nursing assistant. Opening of Howick central public school does away'with the nurse's visiting about 18 schools twice a year; shewill now be in the one school two mornings a week, which means, said Dr. Aldis, "better health care and a more complete fol- low-up of each child."
