M. A. REID MAYOR GOD SAVE THE KING Announcement We have installed a Brady Automatic Cooling System Cleaner in our Service Department. This equipment com- pletely frees your radiator and engine of all'rust, grease. scale, sludge and dirt. The cleaning is done through the filler cap of your radiator, which saves time and the expense of dismantling the radia- tor from your car. The average job only requires an hour.

WATT & SONS PALMERSTON • ONTARIO BUILDERS OF BETTER POUL=TRY AND LIVESTOCK FEEDS S -INCE 1885 1 Hospital Report No. 1 This is the first in a series of three articles to be published concerning Scott Memorial Hospital, which will, we believe, explain to the public every phase of the hospital affairs. The problems of hospital management dre many, varied and complex; those of our local institution are no exception. Our wish in presenting these articles is to give to you, the citizen shareholders, a complete picture of the hospital life in your community. We have consulted leading authorities on the subject in the province, as to the desirability of making a report to the people on public institutions of this kind. They were definitely in favor of doing so. One of the chief Problems to confront us here is the entire lack of public relations and the con- sequent undercurrent in the community of rumor and counter rumors, unfounded criticisms and gen- eral ill -will toward our hospital, entirely due to a lack of information to which the public has an un- deniable right of access. We believe therefore in taking the citizen into our confidence and striving for better Hospitalization, for we believe. that the more light we shed on the problems, the greater will be the confidence created. Regarding the writer of these aticles. On Tues- day, December 7th, 1943,' lie was elected Chairman of the Board, having served as Vice -Chairman and Chairman of the House Committee for the past two years. henry Ford once said, You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do -but what you have demonstrated you have done." The writer hopes that the reputation responsible for bis elec- tion to the office of Chairman will not suffer as he undertakes the increased responsibilities of his new position, 1 Each and every one of you will, agree that we need the hospital in our midst, The reason for Hos- pitals and nurses is the care and healing of the sick. The patient is the reason for the Hospital and the public is the clientele. But it is a fact that despite the never -ceasing services to the sick and injured, many citizens simply take tho institution - for granted, as more or less of a civic and governneental. responsibility. when as a natter of fact every citizen is a shareholder and should have a knowledge of and interest in its daily life, Hospital achievements or difficulties should be everyone's concern. An in- formed citizen will become a hospital friend, getting behind the hospitalization project instead of pulling ill the opposite direction, • 'We hope, by creating a better understanding, be - 'V tweon the public ,and the Hospital, to achieve a strong co-operation spirit between the two. witllou, which nothing can be accomplished. We believe that tine present critical situation is ih e direct result. of lack of co-operation between the two through f t f fereuce as a .result of unproper knowledge of the facts. No one person has the right to control, monopolize or have prior right of way in dealing with hospital affairs or caring for the sick of the hospital The hospital can be viewed somewhat in the light of a home;. where there is hot concord, trust, faith and love for humanity the outlook is indeed grim for the family. Only by oo•oporation in a strong effort to achieve the best possible results, with all striving toward the same goal can that aim be accomplished. Gossip must be. discouraged and, never has been known to grow less in the travelling, Not only the Hospital Aid and those others directly connected with the Hospital -but -all citizens can have a part in discouraging talk detrimental to- Hospital unity and service. Public interest in our institution and voluntary effort on its behalf are absolutely necessary if the sick, are to be properly ca•ed.for. Without a human- itarian spirit the hospital would become a cold- blooded scientific affair, with no appeal to the sick in need of cheerful understanding as well as the best possible medical attention. The Hospital gives to the doctor a multitude of advantages which the public too often forgets and the doctor likewise. Its equipment and services are at his command and to give a return for this ac- commodation he should co-operate by abandoning Professional jealousies and personal antagonisms. All units within the scope of hospital service should function in a manner equal to the vows taken by both nurse and doctor. Regardless .05 what their attitude niay be, the hospital is their bread and but. ter. The Board and the Hospital Aid receive nothing for time and effort they can ill afford to give gratis. - We have tried to (,rarity Ilia situation existing in Seaforth et the present time by presenting in a general way the chief problems and, as we see them, their only solutions, We have not exaggerated the facts in any way: the situation is grave and it is -your right to realize this so that your effort in its behalf may be the greater. • Our next article will be a description of day to clay life at. the Hospital, from tine nurses' as well as the patient's viewpoint with typical, menus and other details to make a complete picture •of' what goes on.
