under the direction of Jane --
Sutherland has taken over the
canteen on Sundays for the last
r
two weeks. It is expected that
this group of teenagers will
continue. with this work as one
of their contributions to the
community.
Two volunteer teenage girls
from Goderich, Mary Gregmnd
Jane Smith, have been taking
charge of the canteen each
Saturday during the summer.
During May, June and Part `of
'July, some Goderich Lions and
their Wives worked in the
canteen Sundays.
In the past, the women's
organizations from Candaian
Forces Base, Clinton, and the
Bentniller UCW also assisted in
the canteen.
Some: of the work in the
canteen is accomplished by
residents at GPH who are paid a
small wage. As well as staffing
the canteen each morning,
residents involved 'in the home

When the hospital was built,,
facilities for the canteen were
provided ' but it took some
Organizational ability on the part
of volunteers to get the canteen
operational.
- As well as being sfunctional
and pleasant, • the canteen is
therepeutical in a way. Some
persons who, have been
unaccustomed to shopping are
encouraged in the canteen. to
order their own snacks and
sundries; thereby making it
easier to adjust when. they will
be outside the hospital
environment.
The gift shop was
incorporated into the canteen
early in 1970. Before then; the
ant shop had been a separate
enterprise within GPI -l.
The canteen is open daily
from nine in the morning to four
in the afternoon. The profits
from- it go for all kinds of
projects at the hospital.
Twicellow, the canteen funds
A quartette of sitting rooms

• hospital have been unfUrIAShed
since the hospital 'was built. This
week,..a grouping of moss green,
-gold and orange furniture was
placed in one of the,. four areas
for the enjoyment'of residents at
GPH.
This first sitting room has
been planned to include '
conVetsatfon areas, reading areas
and game' areas. Furnishings
include big, comfortablft chairs
and sofas as well as cargl, tables
and chairs, lamps, boo cases
and some ornamental reenery
and flowers.
The idea was to make each
area as homey and as inviting as
possible. Residents are free to
relax in these areas with their
friends and their guests, to
watch television, to join in a
sing -song, or to do almost
anything that could be done in
their own livingrooms at home.
