There is absolutely no other way to describe a young woman• by the• name of Hilary Hoeywho has been working at Goderich Psychiatric Hospital for . the summer months. As • Hilary trips through the corridors at GPH, staff and residents alike .call out their cheery greetings that are proof of the friendly feelings they have for her. . Hilary, --a-24 year old medical student from Dublin, Ireland, has been working with Dr. R. W. Flowers for the summer. As well as her work at GPH where- sh.& describes herself as a "clinical clerk", Hilary has assisted Dr. Flowers at Alexandra Marine and General- Hospital in surgery` and in the delivery room. (She beams as she tells about, delivering a 51/2 lb. baby boy!) There aft, about 30 girls in her class at 'Dublin University. ' Hilary noted.,- there ' are 120 students in all who will be entering their final year of medicine this fall with her.' One of • them is her brother, incidentally. After interning in Ireland, Hilary hopes to go to '`South America or . one of those —under -developed- countries" ,to work for a year. After that, she ° would like . to study for four years in Canada, the United States or England. Then it will be back to ,Ireland to join a "group practice" as a specialist in some field. Marriage? Not until she is about 35 years old, according to the pretty Miss Hoey. ,h; "Then I will have all my children at once," she. smiled. "I'll probably have eight under medical, careei . the age of 5 or something like that," Hilary` came to Canada to work -for the summer and to get, experience in a hospital. She - admitted she • didn't know exactlywhatto expect at GPH for in Ireland, the psychiatric• hospitals are the oldest and the -most in need of improvement. "I was . pleased to find the hospital here so new and so bright'and cheerful," Hilary said. - '"It is like a hotel atmosphere. In the summer ,,,when we were working and sweltering in .the heat, you,would see some of the patients going golfing or down to the beach- for --a- swim,' Just wonderful!" • Hilary spends some of, her time behind a desk in Dr. l~lowers'office at GPH,but more of her• duties take her into the wards. "I have enjoyed my work here," says Hilary with an almost intense look in her eye. But when Hilary talks about Canada, the country, she really gets enthusiastic. "Oh,.1:1o.y it," she exclaimed. "Canada is so enormous. I love the climate. You. get the best part of all the seasons." Hilary has done some travelling this summer even though • her budget -is restricted. She's been to Niagara Falls, Montreal, Windsor, Detroit, Tobermory, Fort Erie ... , and , maybe while you are reading this story, she will be enroute to Timmins. , "I wish it would snow before I go home," sighed Hilary. "They say it snowed one year in August here. Maybe we'll get snow in Septemb_ er. I'd love to see this country at Christmas.": Hilary Hoey doesn't pailosioll' mottiosillmosim ocal s�nio ong ratulate The Senior Citizens Club -itnet Wednesday evening, -September 16 in McKay Hall.

The •president, Mrs. Howard Johnston,' opened the meeting with a reading followed. by a hymn: and prayer. The devotional included the 23rd Psalm read by Mrs. Jack Alton, and commentary on it given by Mrs. Wilfred Pentland. • '... Mrs: Gordon Finnigan introduced. Miss Marjorie Alton as guest speaker. Her travelogue with pictures took the ladies to ,,Australia,Java,..Malaya, etc., and to Expo m Japan. One member commented that Marjorie had real talent in taking pictures and giving her description of these countries. Mrs. W. Pentland fittingly thanked the speaker. Fourteen members answered the roll call on "Talents" and two visitors were present. In the business meeting correspondence was read and the treasurer's report given by Mrs. remember a time when she didn't want to be'a doctor. "There were_ moments. after I began to study that I wondered," Hilary said. All those textbooks for three' years! Then I' go into the hospital and it really was interesting at last." It wouldn't be the.promise of a high salary, that attracted Hilary to the medical profession, because in Ireland doctors are not as well paid as they are in Canada. There is no government-sponsored medical plan in Ireland so doctors iiiu5t- deal directly with the patients to get their fees. -_`And -I think :the; -cost.--of- living is higher in proportion to the wages," explained Hilary. Irish hospi als have come. ahead in the last 15 years, she remarked. • Formerly very large institutions scattered throughout Ireland, hospitals now are getting smaller, more compact and more numerous. "Our hospitals in Irelandare very well run," added Hilary'. October 5 'is departure`, day for Miss Hoey who expects to graduate in June, but there is little doubt that she will return to Canada. "Before' I come back I'll have to kiss the Blarney Stone," she laughed. "Quite a few , people have asked me if I have and -they really wonder howl could live in Ireland without that experience. When I come back, I shall be able to tell them I have been. to Cork and kissed the Blarney Stone." The staff and . residents at GPH don't really care- whether or not the delightful Hilary ever accomplishes that feat. They will be glad to' see her anytime she cares to visit ... and that's not blarney either. -� note the 'change of day for the •• n ext meetin Wednesday, �IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIhIIIIIIIII1111Nlllllllll11111111111tlllhunlllllllllllltlllhlllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltl1111111111111111111111111111111111�= October 7. a The hostess and ' , her committee served tea and a social half hour was spent. • ,,• Midi - I e -n g t h Dungannon .4-N Club Holmesville Hall"to begin the fall project_ "Focus on Fitness:" is coming The new midi -length is still getting the , cold shoulder in Geoderich4.huL.fashion.designe , insist the longer skirts are' the big *0 news thig year.
