A second section adds:. "The Board shall give authority to one or more governors, officers or em- ployees of the Corporation to make statements to the press or public about mat- ters 'brought before the Board." Mr. Milosevic assured the meeting that the bylaw is not intended to exclude mem- bers of the press from board meetings, and it was ratified by a vote of 20-13. Following the meeting both Mr. Milosevic and Norman Hayes, hospital administrator, refused to elaborate on the reasons why the bylaw was introduced, beyond -,saying that it was drawn up by the .

This will Come up for discussion and voting .at, the next annual meetingr • At first Mr. Milosevic and Mr. Hayes interpreted the motion as' allowing enly rate- payers from the af(ecteri municipality to vote for their board member, and they called on solicitor Robert Campbell to explain this can't be done without complicated changes to the letters patent of the hospital corporation. However when it was clarified that the motion dealtonly with nominations, Mr. Hayes agreed that could be accomplished through a simple bylaw change. Another bylaw change which, among other things, would have raised the annual membership . fee in the hospital association to $5.00 from $1.00 was amended to keep the fee at $1.00. Dr. J. C. McKim pointed out the proposal to raise the fee was a case of history repeating itself. Exactly the same thing happened about a dozen years ago, he said, but the fee had to be lowered again because nobody bot memberships. Other bylaw changes dealt with small changes in wording to tighten up several bylaws. Notice of motion also was served for a bylaw realigning representation on the hospital board. This will come up for a decision at the meeting next year; if ap- proved it would reduce the size of • the board to 13 members from 17 and equal- ize representation among the member municipalities. Mrs. Elmslie proposed that in coming years the annual meeting should be publicised earlier to enable more people from outlying areas to buy memberships. Mr: Hayes said that should Abe possible since the" �labb` -requires only ` that {`he" meeting be publicised at least two weeks in advance. What's new at Huronview? Senior Citizens Week started off very fittingly with Rev. Wittick holding the church service in the auditorium. The Father's Day service took the form of the Junior Choir from Blyth singing the story of Noah interspersed with readings from Rev. Wittick. The piano was played by Mrs. Kai, and the choir was led by Mrs. Wittick. During the service Mrs. Henderson and Cecil Skinner sang a duet, accom- panied by Frank Bissett at the piano. Monday we enjoyed the 'company of the Wingham Happy Gang and Happy Citizens from. Seaforth. Greeting .these senior citizens at the door were Les Fortune, George. Turnbull, and Jean Scott.

The men's chorus, consisting of Mark Sproat, Jim Ruddock, Mr. Bissett, Mr. Skinner, and Frank Crich sang a catchy tune called 'Whistling Jim'. Mr. Bissett gave a musical reading called 'Kathy Did', followed by a piano duet by Frank and Elsie. Margaret McQueen sang a. solo. Elsie played her bells and made her doll dance, accompanied by Frank at the piano. Although Nelson Lear was suffering from a cold he still sang 'Stern Old Bachelor'. The men's chorus sang followed by Frank and Elsie playing the ,piano and organ in duet. This rounded or a very good program.

WIi 1: All New faces on hospii following annua Four new members° will take their seats on the board of governors of Wingham and District Hospital at the board's inaugural meeting this Wednesday night. In an unusual shakeup, the changes leave the ,board without either of the two men who had the best shot at the chairman's position. Bora Milosevic, who chaired the board for the past year and appealed likely to return to that post, withdrew from the election =for •• -,two • Wingham, sesta .;following; _a Srst-ballot ha At the same time Harold Elliott, chairman of the management committee for the past year and in usual board tradition next in line for the chair, was not nominated for another term. Dr. Al Williams, chairman of the finance and audit committee, appeared to be the most likely remaining candidate fog board chair- man, but he said last week he will not stand for the post since he does not have suf- ficient time to devote to it. This throws the position up for grabs among a number of relatively new members, most having had only one year on the board, with William Newton of Howick appearing to be the strongest candidate. The changes occurred during last week's annual meeting of the hospital association. Most members were acclaimed to the board on the nomination of their respective municipalities, with only one election taking place. This was for the two Wingham seats which had been occupied by - Mr. Mil- osevic and Dr. Williams. Both men were renominated, with an additional nomina- tion from the floor for Archie 1 Kill. In, the first*bailot Mr.� Hill won. the most votes and`. the other two were tied, requiring a runoff. However Mr. Milosevic announced he was withdrawing, allowing. Dr. Williams to; take the seat. .
