Frank G. Thompson of
Corporate Motivation Sys-
tems, Hamilton, was the
featured speaker at a
meeting of the Wingham
Business Association held
last Wednesday evening at
the Wingham Golf and
Curling Club. "Success is an
inside job" was the title of
his talk, which concentrated
on the potential of the in-
dividual to achieve success
by setting goals and sparing
no effort to achieve them.
Two hurdles face the
person who -wants to get
ahead in this world, said Mr.
Thompson: communications
and motivation. "Why do so
few people actually achieve
success?" he asked.
In answer to his own
question, he said few are
willing to pay the price;
most of us are unwilling to
put forth the .total effort
which is required and
dedicate ourselves whole-
heartedly to our goals.
Much of his address was
devoted to the power of
positive thinking and thea
unbelievable results such as
attitude can bring to those
who practise consistent
optimism.
Timidity, he said, is the
Grant encourages
erosion controls
A new program announced
by the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food will
pay 80 per cent of farmers'
costs for greater use of soil
conservation and erosion
control devices in municipal
dra- s.
T Ontario Drainage
Works Erosion Control Pro-
gram will make $2 million
available to municipalities
over the next four years to
cover the portion of costs
assessed against agricultur-
al lands for erosion preven-
tion devices. '
"We felt we needed to
encourage greater erosion
control in municipal drains,"
explained Agriculture
Minister Jack Riddell. "The
normal grants paid to
municipalities for in-
stallation costs will also
apply to this program."
The following devices are
eligible under the program:
—drop structures for ditch
bottoms to slow water and
reduce erosion;
—drop structures to
stabilize ditch bottoms
where drains meet at dif-
ferent elevations;
—tile drains to intercept
water seeping below ground
surface which could cause
slumping of ditch banks;
—seed and fertilizer for
grass cover on ditch banks
and buffer strips;
—fencing to prevent live-
stock access to drains.
To be eligible for the grant
the specifications for the
device or application for the
materials must appear in an
engineer's report which is
adopted as a bylaw.

we should cease to apologize

Doug Layton of the
business association was
master of ceremonies for the
meeting; the speaker was
introduced by Barry
Wenger. The meeting and its
speaker were co-sponsored
by the business association
and The Wingham Advance -

business owners and
managers and members of
their staffs. Lee Vance ex-
pressed the thanks of the
gathering to the guest
speaker.
A brief business meeting
was held following the ad-
dres, at which plans for
future promotions were
discussed.

It appears likely that
municipal elections will be
held next month in four area
townships: Howick, East
Wawanosh, Turnberry and
Morris.
Only two township council
positions have been filled by
acclamation. Turnberry
Reeve Brian McBurney was
uncontested and will return
to the position and Clem
McLellan, a Morris Town-
ship councillor, will become
deputy reeve of the township
in the position left by retiring
Deputy Reeve Tom Miller.
Nominations closed at 5
p.m. Monday, but those who
filed papers had until 5 p.m.
Tuesday to withdraw.
Election day is Nov. 12.
A real race for the reeve -

in Howick Township with
three men vying for the
position, including in-

Board sets new committee
(Continued from Page' 1)
board, noting there is a lot
work involved in getting the
program into full operation
before the next.accreditation
survey.•
Asked by Mr. Hayes about
the committee structure and
the proposal to place a board
'member on it, Mrs. Cum-
mings said the consensus at
a meeting -she had attended
was that thereis no need to
have a board member on the
committee 'since it is
• basically a management
committee and would report
to the board through the joint
conference committee.
• This was supported by Dr.
Brian Hanlon, hospital chief
of staff, who said the board's
functit;ftl< is to make policy
and ensure it is carried out
properly. It should not be
interested in the day-to-day
management or operation of
- the hospital.
However several board
members disagreed.
-Patricia Baitey argued that
the more knowledgeable
trustees become about the
operations of the hospital the
better able they will be to
carry the message to the
public, while Nancy.
MacDonald-Exel suggested
that a board member could
provide valuable input , on
quality assurance from an
outsider's point of view.
I can'tsee it would hurt to -
have aboard member on it
paperwork. "That which is
of not documented its presumed
not to be done,"
"I would be deathly afraid
of this until I knew exactly
what was to be done," he
concluded.
Dr.• Hanlon also pointed
out that, while it is being
demanded by the body
responsible for hospital
accreditation, quality ap-
praisal is not a directive
from the Health Ministry
and has nothing to do with
the Health Act, . which
governs hospitals.
In an attempt to wrap up
the discussion, which by this
time had gone on for nearly
an •hour, Vice Chairman
Mary Lou Thompson asked if
there would be any problem
having a board member sit
in on meetings of the com-
mittee during its first year.
Mrs. Cummings said she
had no objections, but, Dr.
Hanlon objected that such a
_move would-.set.a--dangerous- -
precedent. Having a board
member go below the level of
the executive director
suggests a lack of confidence
in the 'director, he said, and
Mr. Hayes agreed.
"If you want to manage
the hospital go ahead and
manage it," the executive
director declared. "You
don't need me."
Board member Ross
Davies also spoke against
at least for the first year,"
she said, observing it will be
"a very expensive com-
mittee" with so many
department heads on it.
"Your point is well taken,"
Dr. McGregor agreed,
suggesting that the time
spent on quality appraisal
work away: from regular
duties would probably have,
to be made up by hiring
additional staff.
"The administrator should
have some figures on the
cost. I would think
thousands," he added.
However the board never did
hear what the new program
is expected to cost. '
In a spirited attack on the
proposal, Dr. McGregor said
this sort of thing "tends to tie
up and hamper the operation
of an institution by volumin-
ous paperwork."
When hospital ac-
ereditat on first came i-rrto
existence it was probably
needed, he said, but now it
has become a self-serving
entity, "some kind of sacred
cow", and it is questionable
w�ietwer it actually improves
patient care.
The same thing is hap-
% pening in the medical
profession through peer
review, he added. It was a
wonderful idea at the start
but has degenerated into
the proposal, saying he saw
no need for a board member
to be part of a hospital func-
tion.
"I don't understand why
the executive director can't
do this (quality appraisal),".
Dr. McGregor remarked.
"He's the obvious person to
report on the functioning of
the institution, with the chief
of staff."
Mr. Hayes responded that
there is no way the executive
• director can know every-
thing which goes on in an
institution..
"It's easier to get
cooperation from people on
the ground level to correct a
problem than me sitting in
my office and sending down
bolts of lightning, on their
heads," he added.
Following some more
discussion about possible
alternatives, Dr. Hanlon
suggested it was a . forgone
conclusion that the quality
appraisal --committee would
come into being. The board
should decide on the
structure and then move on
to, the next order of business:
This led to a motion by
Mrs. MacDonald-Exel that
the committee be set up as
proposed, with the require-
ment that it report to the
joint conference committee
on a regular basis. The
motion.. carried, .with-9r11y Dr. •
McGregor voting against it
