There was a good at- tendance at these sessions. On Nov. 20, classes with ceramics were held, and several residents are showing quite an interest in this craft. A country -styled dinner of fried eggs, sausages and potatoes was served to the ladies on Ground Floor North on Nov. 22, and they expressed their appreciation to staff for this excellent meal. Also on Nov. 22, mid -week Bible Study was held with Mrs. Prouty in charge. The scripture esson was read by Mr. Prouty. Mabel Scot, sang a solo, accompanied at the organ by Els Henderson. Rev. Johi. Plata conducted Roman Catholic Mass on Nov. 23. A number of residents went to Stratford for the day, to continue shopping. When one realizes that Christmas is a month from yesterday, many will have to get busy. Friday evening, some residents were at the Clinton arena to see the hockey game between Clinton Junior C's and Walkerton. There was plenty of action, with penalties served and the odd fight, which only added to the excitement. There was really no con- test, as the Clinton team got into the spirit of things and set the pace with its first goal. From then on, Clinton spurted ahead and came out victorious with a score of 8 to 3 over Walkerton. Those attending the game from Huron - view were Golda Tyler, Betty Lutz, Ben Sowerby, Wilbur Godkin, Stu Taylor, George Mann, John McTaggart, Frank Bissett, Karl Kuhn and driving the van was Jane Ladd. Huronview residents had ex- cellent seats in the auditorium and a wonderful view of the ice surface. At first some thought the stairs might be a problem, but that was soon resolved. Eight husky players of the Clinton team took the two chairs up, and got them down, at the end of game. Everyone certainly did appreciate this and thanks goes to the staff for their co- operation. The Women's Institute from Fordwich had charge of the November birthday party, which took place in the Huronview auditorium. Miss 'Minnie McElwain was pianist for a sing song. This was followed by a skit, 'Hi Lord, It's Me Again' presented by Mrs. Elmer Harding, Mrs. Cy Marzec and Mrs. Scott Clarkson. A humorous reading, was given by Mrs. Wallace Bilton and another fine reading was given by Mrs. Clarence Carswell. Miss Elva Foster played two piano solos. A scripture reading was given followed by fancy cupcakes and tea. Sunday morning worship conducted by Reverend Pick was held, and in the after- noon an excellent program of music was presented by the Salvation Army Youth Band from Guelph. The concert included in- strumentals and solos. This dedicated group of young people had visited the Salvation Ar- my in Goderich, and were accompanied here by the Officers of the Goderich branch. Huronview welcomes Mrs. Una Jones of Clinton, who has come to reside at Huron - view. To the families of the late Miss Emma MacDonald and Miss Jean Scott, sympathy is expressed.

In a report to the hospital's board of trustees, Nursing Director Joyce Shack said the study, which examined incidents during two separate fiscal year periods, 1982-83 and 1983-84, indicated that most in- cidents were of a minor nature. In '82-83 a total of 111 incidents were reported, an average of 9.25 per month; while in '83-84, the total increased to 125 in- cidents, an average of 10.4 per month. In the first year only one incident required follow-up treatment; all occurances were due to falls. In the second year, 112 of the 125 incidents were due to falls, with two re- quiring special follow-up treatment. Miss Shack reported that when review- ing the age factor, it was discovered that in '82-83, 78 per cent of the incidents occurred to people who were over 65, while in the next year, 74 per cent involved people over 65. She said the the hour of day that injuries and other incidents occur does not produce any recognizable pattern. There are as many incidents or falls occurring on the day shift as there are on the evenings and nightshifts, the report indicates. Surprisingly, very few incidents occur on the Second West unit, where the long- term patients stay, said Miss Shack. Most of the injuries occurred on the active treat- ment units, where the patients are more agile and attempt to do more things for themselves, "with unfortunate results at times," she said. She said the report should have no effect on staffing at the hospital; as most fall oc- cur when patients attempt to climb over the side rails on the beds. Hospital searches Alexandra Marine and General Hospital is having a hard time finding someone to fill an open position in the hospital's speech pathology department, it was announced at the hospital board's November 19 meeting. The hospital currently has 4 nation-wide advertising campaign underway and has a search going on through Canada, Manpower, for someone to fill the,pnsiti ,p, Hospital Administrator Ken Eng, d reported that one application' fol`" e postition had been received, but said he "would like to see some competition". Hospital officials plan to make overtures at an upcoming speech pathology convention. What a GREAT Gift Idea!
