Staff at Clinton Public Hospital will be
recognized for their length of service at the
hospital at intervals of every five years with
a service pin being presented to all staff who
are entitled to receive one at a special
presentation once a year.
The hospital is randomly seeking patient's
feedback on the service the hospital is
giving. The board hopes that when patients
receive a request for this information that
they will co-operate in returning the postage
paid questionnaire.
During the summer the newly renovated
Laboratory was opened to the delight of
staff and.doctors, giving the patients a much
improved service. Other areas of the
hospital are also receiving improvements
such as the 1947 wing. A new, air exchange
system is being installed which will allow
air conditioning in summer for the benefit of
patients using the rooms in this part of the
building.
After an absence of nearly a year a Speech
Language Pathologist has been appointed to
the staff of Clinton Public Hospital. The
services will be split between Clinton and

CLINTON - A ice oriia1, fund in m rainy
of Dr. Waiter Oakes is being establ�isile.4 at
Clinton Public Hospital.
One of the area's best known physicians,
Dr. Oakes practiced in Clinton from 1930
until 1970.
He died =September 30 at the age OK
At funeral services held in Owen Sound on
October 2, Dr. Oakes was remembered in
the following address:
Luke-, the beloved physician ... greet you.
Colossians 4: 14.
When a man like Dr. Walter Oakes lays
down his .work it is more than the death of
another human being. He has held a
peculiar relationship with his community
and his family. He did not simply run a
business as some of us do. He was a public
friend. He has dealt, not with the ordinary
material things of people's lives. He has
held their lives. He has also held, a most
sacred trust.
Under his hand even the strongest among
us had laid his life on a scant couch m an
unconscious sleep and trusted the thin
thread of life to his skillful and careful care.
To him the woman has told her deepest
secrets and trusted implicitly in his truth
and honor.
He has watched over the entrance and exit
of many a person from this world. And now
we pay honor to him at his exit.
He has been a friend to many, especially
to his family. He has given many an hour to
others that he would wish he could have
spent with his family. I trust and pray that
Louise and Harris and David will come to
know just how much that has meant to him
to have to give us some of those precious
times to others because of his calling. But he
has always Riven himself
•
i ► lam, mit long, but what 11 knew of
Walter Oake f will never forget, His humor,
his quiet contemplation of conversation, his
delight' in others, especially to know their
first names on the golf course even though '
the last name was never important. He
wanted to know who we were not what we
were. Dr. Oakes was one of those rare
friends and caring people who was able to
make others feel important for their own
sake.
It is no wonder that in the naming of the
disciples and early Christian leaders of the
New Testament, while they called one the
zealot, one the publican, one the son of
thunder, Luke the physician, they called
"the beloved." And we realize something of
the pathos, yet the strength and comfort of
the lonely Paul, physically weak and
wrecked, when he told how all his followers
save one had left him; we could guess who
that one was. It was the physician, "Only
Luke is with me" (2 Timothy 4:11). The
greatest glory df this hour is that we are
paying the tribute of a church and a
community of family and friends not alone
to a good doctor, but to a devout and
consecrated disciple of the Great Physician,
Because of his love of God, his labours
among his people have been performed with
a keen and sensitive awareness of eternal
values. And the Great Physician has
welcomed our friend, I believe, with the
words, "The beloved physician is with me."
Let us truly thank God for the life and love
of Dr. Walter Oakes.
Anyone who is interested in making a
donation to the Dr. Walter Oakes Memorial
Fund may contact Clinton Public Hospital
administrator Dan Steyn.
Residents learn ceramics
HURONVIEW - A class in ceramics took
place in the craft room last week where
students learned the basics of cleaning and
preparing the greenware for the kiln.
Orr October 15, residents from the home
who are members of the . Bluewater Blind
Club, attended a banquet held in Wesley-.
Willis United Church, Clinton. There was a
good attendance, and music was provided
by Gord 'Harrison and his group from
Goderich.
October 16, a planned mystery tour was
one of the events that took place. Residents
boarding the van hadn't a clue as to where
they were going. But upon reaching their
destination, which was the Captain's Cove,
everyone got a delightful surprise. After
their dinner, they went on tour of the
country -side, where they viewed the trees
and bushes,, whose leaves had for the most
part,, changed into the brilliant colors of
autumn. '
October 17, the Huronview chapel service
was held with Mrs. Prouty in charge. Mrs.
Grant Triehner presented the message

Congratulations to Evelyn Archer and

years pins respectively, in recognition of
their years of service to Huronview.
• Mary Gibbings, Jane Ladd, Evelyn Ar-
cher attended a craft workshop on Friday at
St. Joseph's Horne in Guelph. They' enjoyed
a productive day and the session created
many new and interesting items. There was ak
an exchange of ideas and they brought home,
numerous patterns, which will be used here
in craft classes.
In the evening about eight residents along
with Jane Ladd and Dorothy Cornish went in
to Clinton Arena to watch a hockey game
between Clinton Junior "Ds" and a team
from Mt. Bridges. It was a competitive ef-
fort, with tension mounting here and there,
a few body contacts which brought some of
the boys down to the ice, but in our opinion,
good solid hockey with Mt. Bridges taking
the game 4-2. "
To the family of the late George Mann,
sympathy is expressed.
