Home My WebLink AboutThe Clinton News Record, 1943-02-18, Page 5THURS., FEB. 18, 1943 Vab Clinton Public Hospital It is a cause of frequent comment :and expression of surprise among 'newcomers to the town that so fine hospital facilities are available to re- sidents in so small a community. Per- -haps we, who have for so many years, 'accepted the Clinton Hospital as a good thing, but one we have always bad have not ourselves become too weII acquainted with the extent of its work, or with its excellence un- ,' less we have had occasion to use its ' • faeilities. A brief resume of some statistics for the year ending Dee Si, 1942, might be, of value in appreciating a little of what such .an institution means not only to the town itself; but -to the 'country: round. about. Would it =wise you to know that 48$ patients • were admitted during 1942, more than • 1.3 for every day in the year? That 102 babies first saw the light of day in our hospital during the same per- iod? That 5475 days hospitalization were provided in this institution? t`I'hat 483 operations of various de; grees of severity were performed for the alleviation of pain and distress, ,and the extension of life, These are items worth thinking about. Nor is 'the benefit derived only by residents ••of town, itself;, During 1942 only 145 Clinton as their residence. 325 were from Huron County, 10 from the Pro- vince of Ontario outside the county, 1 from the 'United • States, and 2 from other countries We are proud of the surgical, me- dical and nursing staffs, and of the equipment our Hospital supplies, for the help of suffering mankind and feel that the founders of this institu- tion would be .proud to witness the success of this, the work they found-' ed in years past. Flom a tiny begin - Mg, the Clinton Hospital has devel- oped in extent of service and useful- ness far from .that small beginning in which its founflers' felt such pride. The statement of profit and loss shows that in a monetary sense, we are nota money making concern, Nevertheless we are able, this year, to break a little, better than even, showing at Ieast a small profit, but this has been attained only with the assistance of grants from Town and. County, which have been thankfully received. Nearly all of the $19,267 ex- pended during the year has found its way into local channels and has con- tributed to the better business of local business people. All in all, may we not consider the Clinton Public Hospital, one of our better if not the admissions to the Hospital claimed best, public .benefactor in our town?

Friday, February 5th was a beautiful day, sun was quite strong melting the snow banks considerably. On Saturday it was quite mild, then rain thunder and lightning. The high- way was a mass of water and slush with hard snow banks on either side, during the night there was a vast change, snow commenced to faII'which turned into a gale z.1th`•ver3r high winds which blew and' blew until the highway was piled high- with drifts worse than two weeks previous. Then the telephones went lead for several days, Londesboro was shut inlike rats in a trap. On Thursday the road was opened up from Blyth when some supplies were brought in. The students who each morning took the bus to Clinton to attend the Colleg- iate, were stranded here. They made their 'way on Thursday forenoon to BIyth and boarded the C.P.R. train en route to Goderich, their train was late which left then barely time to make connections with the C.N.R. to Clinton, A taxi was called to transfer them to the C.N.R. station reaching it just in time, and, eventually ar- rived in Clinton having travelled many hours and miles .to reach their school. No. school was closed until Friday as the teacher was unable to get through. And still no determined effort was made by those who 'had the job to open up the road to Clin- ton, The mail truck arrived on Sat- urday having to travel many 'miles around by. Goderich, `Auburn and Blyth to reach here, making two trips that day. On -Saturday evening the road from Clinton` " was broken through..The small snowplows which came from the north were not heavy enough to break through 'the moan- tains ourntains of snow south of the village. The larger and heavier,ploughs were taken to other sections' where there were railways to bring in supplies and transport travellers: While here we have no railway, have no doctor, no butehei' or Baker and'have to de- pend en trucks and busses. We were cut off from getting supplies or mail for one week, for the second time in three weeks Wo are a civilized people living in a` Civilized country, pay our 'taxes as others do. All we ask is a fair deal, we not only ask we• demand it. Don't blame the weather man blame the Good heads Commis - stoners or the Minister of Highways. We 'hope from now on a more de- termined effort will be put forth to keep this read open. Cleaning off the snow from the streets merits commendation. Equal Consideration ahoul'd be given to the needs of the back, streets. Just so Iong. as the back streets are closed to motor traffic just so long are the residents of that district without fire protection to say nothing of be- ing inconvenienced. Our fire -fighting equipment is motorized and exper- ienee teaehes that the majority of fires happen during the cold spells. v Mixing a little horse sense with horse power is one of the best recipes for safety.
