Woman retires
after 12 years
in "new world"
tennial year, 1967, Doctor M.F.
Conlon took over duties
managing. •
Only one ,week into her
retirement period Mrs.
Pearson has not had time to
really become adjusted to 'the
change. She is. not expecting
her life .to become drastically
altered. Officially she should
,have finished Monday but the
long weekende gave her an
advantage of two days extra
retirement.
"The impact of the
retirement probably won't be
.realized until I get up in the
morning and realize I don't
have to gp to work and every
one else does," she said.
She plans to join her husband
at Moine and spend some more
time with her neighbours. She
plans to enjoy life and spend
time with her hobbies of
crocheting and knitting. Her
husband spends a great deal of
time refinishing furniture and
helps out on the family farm in
Goderich township during the
planting season.
"I want to do things all the
time," she said. "If you want to
do things you can certainly find
enough to do without sitting'
idle. One can stagnate in an
awful hurry without keeping
busy."
Four of Mrs, Pearson's sons
are married and, she is looking
forward to spending a lot of
r
.time.: �with_...he - _s .'..gt'and-
y will -
children The -wi�il` a mebusy with no effort at all," -she
smiled.
(Inte4edfor last week)
Mrs. Helen 4"earson retired
fromher job as secretary to the
Goderich Psychia't`ric hospital
administrator last.Thursday, a
job she held even before the
hospital' •was 'officially opened
as a hospital. She took up her
employment at the institute
just after the construction of
the building was completed
several months before the
official opening ceremonies..
Retiring was something Mrs.
Pearson has looked forward to
for some time but when the big
day came last week she admits
she was suffering from mixed
emotions.
„
.`.�It..&.ngt.easy*leave a;place
when_ e you have worked since,it
was opened," she said.
Prior ' to working at the
hospital Mrs.» Pearson worked
at Canadian Forces Base
Clinton as a secretary. She
'spent six and a half years at the
base, a job she took up after 20
years as housewife. for her
husband Les and mother for
her sons Ron, Larry, Bob and
Terry.
The 12 years at 'the
psychiatric hospital have been
very enlightening for Mrs.
Pearson who claims •that ' a
hospital is» a "whole new
world" compared 'to other
businesses or .facilities. She
says she more than enjoyed her
e'tnployment there and speaks
proudly of the education she
received in her secretarial
post.
"There are so many aspects
to .the job that I had to learn
that other secretaries would
never have to understand."
Medical terminology, names •
of diseases their symptoms and
results, types of treatments for
mental .illness and names and
causet for mental disorders are
among the many aspects the
job that made the last 12 years
so satisfying for Mrs. Pearson.
Along with the constant change
of her workload she also hada
change in •bosses. When she
started at the hospital in 1963
Doctor J.M.•Hagan , was ad-
ministrator and in the . cen
