Delightful.
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.":

The regular United Church
Women of Dungannon United
Church was held September 15.
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. -�
