Several proposed changes
to the administrative and
medical staff by-laws were
approved by' the Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital
Board recently. While there
were a few substantial
changes, most of the exer-
cise involved the cleaning up
of wording.
"We did a Tot of
housecleaning and , we did
make some changes but none
of them radical," by-law
review committee chair-
man, Richard Ottewell told
the board.
The by-laws were
reviewed in light of a new
provincial prototype
received by the board this
year; recommendations
from a recent accreditation
report; and existing prac-
tice.
Although it had been
suggested in the ac-
creditation report that the
number of board members
be reduced, the by-law will
keep_ the._ number at 20, in-
cluding nine elected
members, nine appointed
and two provincial. Ashfield
Township recently requested
representation on the board
but they will be asked to
agree to a joint appointment
with West Wawanosh
Township. <
"We just felt 20 was a good
balance," explained
Ottewell.
There is now a by-law to
prohibit any persons with
any financial connections
with the board, from being a
member of the board without
first declaring those con -

The public health- nurse
counsels children on health
problems and forms liaison
with the parents. Use of a
provincial computer
program allows the public
heath nurse to record your:
child's immunization and
health history. Yearly recall
from the computer indicates
which children need im=
munization. A consent form
is sent home to be signed and
returned to the school.
Following immunization a
notice stating the date and
the immunization given is
returned to the parent. When
this notice is received we
encourage parents to update
their child's personalhealth
record. All students in Grade
12 receive a' copy of their
immunization history from
the Health Unit computer '
records.
In the schools your local
health nurse acts as a
resource person, shares
health information with the
teacher, provides sources of
various health materials and
helps prepare special
programs for non-smoking
week, nutrition week, etc.
The health , purse may
assist the teachers, by
teaching health in the
classroom. Subjects often
covered are family life, communicable disease in the
nutrition, drugs and alcohol. province.

nections. And no one person
on the board shall hold more
than one voting privilege.
A new by-law has reduced
the number of required
meetings of the board from
10 to nine because of the
difficulty in arranging
December meetings.
However, it still likely that
the board will meet 10 times
a year although they are not
nawobligated-to_do-so._
Another new by-law states
that 50 per cent of the elected
members of the board must
be present at meetings in
order to form a quorum. ,
Board meetings will
remain closed to the public
and also to hospital per-
sonnel. The press may at-
tend at the invitation of the
chair. If someone other than
a member of the board
wishes to attend a meeting,
he or she may approach the
administrator or the board
and be invited.
Some by-law changes
resulted in a revised format
for committee selections and
functioning. A public
relations and community
health committee will be
combined into one com-
mittee. And •the by-law
review and policy review
committees will be joined.
A by-law was deleted
which stated that the
hospital auxiliary should
have the same auditor as the
hospital.
And a by-law allowing the
director of nursing to give a
report at the annual meeting
was left unchanged despite
the proposal that her report

Scholarship
fund established
A special scholarship fund,
in memory of Stephen
Palmer, killed :in a mine
accident last November, has
been initiated by Local 16 of
the Energy and Chemical
Workers Union.
Union president, Guy
Robinson, said the health
and safety scholarship wilt'
be awarded annually'- to- a
deserving student at
Goderich and District
Collegiate Institute. ' The
details of the scholarship
have not been fully worked
out but Robinson said the
cash award will be presented
to a student showing marked
progress during the school
year.
The union has not officially
contributed to the
scholarship fund, but
initiated the fund with a
pocket collection at a recent
labour convention. in
Toronto. That collection,
combined with a private
donation, has boosted the
fund substantially but
Robinson said more
donations are needed to keep
the scholarship viable.
Anyone interested in
donating to the scholarship
fund may make a donation at
the Royal Bank.
