Sitting on a tight -rope for 48 hours, as he did recently at Toronto's Maple Leaf Stadium, can be mighty boring — at least, that's what he claims. His solution was to take up a telephone with him. Talking to relatives, friends and well-wishers kept things from becoming too monotonous, he explained. FORMER ST. JOSEPH PRIEST BLESSES NEW MONUMENT Father A. A. Rondot, priest of St. Peter's Church at St. Joseph when Brother Andre visited the parish, blessed the monument of the "miracle man" at the special unveiling ceremony Sunday after- noon. Now retired at Stoney Point, Father Rondot received Brother Andre on both of his visits in 1917 and in 1922 when he admin- istered a number of the faith cures for which he became famous. Father I. J. Poisson, present priest of the parish, unveiled the $1,500 monument which depicts Brother Andre kneeling at the feet of St. Joseph. The statue is erect- ed on the church lawn. Father Henri Bernard, of the Oratory of St. Joseph in Mont- real, which Brother Andre found- -ed, preached the sermon at the special service held inside the church. He pointed out that Broth- er Andre's Oratory attracted over 2,000,000 visitors last year, making it second to Niagara Falls as Canada's most popular tourist at- traction. Patron Saint of Canada Father Bernard, who spoke in both- French and English. said it was significant Brother Andre should be associated with St. Jos- eph because the latter is the pat- ron saint of Canada. The monument was erected through donations of parishioners and others who remembered or benefitted from Brother Andre's healing. The •campaign was or- ganized by Joseph Cantin, son of Narcisse Cantin, who was host to the "miracle man" when he visit- ed the parish. During both visits to St. Joseph. Brother Andre is reported to have cured a number of district resi- dents, Protestant and Roman Cath- olic alike. Mr. Cantin says he re- members a severely crippled man being instantly cured by the "mir- acle man" when he visited his father.

Robinson, of Montreal, com- pared the healer to Joan of Arc and King David in a tribute at the time of his death in 1937. He claim- ed that Protestant and Jew, as well as Roman Catholic, had a right to share "in the saintly bro- ther's spiritual heritage." "One cannot be but grateful," he said, "for all the testimonies in regard to physical healing which came from thousands of pil- grims who visited, talked and prayer with the man and, in the earlier days of the famed pilgrim- age, felt his hand upon their heads." A Montreal firm, Carli Petrucci, carved the monument; Fred Turn- bull, of Grand Bend. constructed the base. It was designed by Jos- eph Cantin. Priests attending the ceremony included Father A. Caron, of St. Joachim; Father Chevalier, of Paincourt; Father Charcon, of Comber, and Father Van Vyanckt, of Kingsbridge. — Exeter Times - Advocate. District ObituarieS MRS.

Five New Blind Residents Added To County Roll Five residents of Huron County will be added to the 54 registered with the Canadian National Insti- tute for the Blind following a trip through the county by E. F. Wheel- er, District Field Secretary for this area. At the same time, special pre- ventative eye care is being arrang- ed for a nine-year-old school boy and a high school student, and ar- rangements completed for a cata- ract operation for a middleaged woman. Mr. Wheeler said that talking book machines had been delivered to three blind persons in the coun- ty and arrangements made to sup- ply recordings of books from CN. IB.'s special library in Toronto. "The Huron County Advisory Board lends machines and pays for record service," Mr. Wheeler said, "and the Post Office handles records without charge. It costs the blind nothing." As Mr. Wheeler completed his regular field trip, the Annual Op- erating Fund Campaign for C.N.I. B. in the County neared its 1955 objective of $3,500.00. "Response to the appeal has been excellent to date," he said, "and it is hoped that belated donations will put the campaign over the top." The five new blind to be regis- tered include three elderly men, a middleaged man and a housewife. Special services will be arranged for those requiring them. Treat- ment by specialists in London will be arranged for the school boy and high school student. lid joug G. HARVEY AGNEW, M.D. PRESIDENT. ONTARIO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION One thing that seems to bother the average Canadian a great deal is "red tape". Perhaps it is be- cause the average Canadian is in- dustrious and keen. likes to get things done, and is impatient and 'perturbed when delayed. As a matter of fact, very few of Is like to be bothered with re- ,trictions, rules and regulations which often prevent us from doing what we like, or doing it when and how we'd like to do it. Unfortunately, day by day, we encounter a great deal of "red tape" in our regular routine. Ac- tually most of it is very essential. This is especially so in the case of Government procedures, mili- tary bodies. railways or other large organizations, It is equally essen- tial in the day-by-day operation in a hospital. THE HURON xvoFoR, sgAM FORDWKII .CE, HQ.ick Township Connell Met according to adjournment the Clerk's office, Gorrie, on Saturday, Nov. 5. All members were—Pres- ent and' Reeve FL Gowdy was in the chair. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and adopted as read on motion of Has- kins and Allan. The following motions were car- ried: McMichael and Gibson: That we give the Fordwich Cemetery Board a grant of $300. McMichael and Gibson: That we agree to share the cost of moving telephone line back on Sanderson sideroad. McMichael and Gibson: That we renew the Fidelity bond and rob,- bery insurance policy. Haskins and Allan: That we pro- claim the 11th of November a holi- day and ask the citizens to attend the memorial service in the Ford- wich United Church at 11 a.m. Allan and Gibson: That we ac- cept the petition of Edwin Deitz to have Branch of the Bolton Drain repaired. Haskins and McMichael: That we give the Lakelet Cemetery Board a grant of $25. Gibson and McMichael: That the amendment to Bylaw No. 12, 1948, of the Township of Howick, re rate for D.R.O. and Poll Clerks as read the third time, be finally passed. Haskins and Gibson: That the road accounts as approved be paid. Allan and Haskins: That the amendment to Blaw No. 12, 1953, prohibiting dogs running at large many children. That is why a "no visitors" sign must often be hung on a ward door to protect the patient or patients. Patients sometimes wonder why they must enter hospital on the afternoon or evening before the day of operation. More red tape! Why not next morning? Is it so an extra day can be charged up? Actually it has been found neces- sary, except in some minur cases. in order to be sure that various laboratory tests (perhaps not re- alized by the patient) can be done or to permit some preliminary medication or treatment to be giv• en. For example, some patients are found to have diabets or kid- ney disease, or some other condi- tion quite unknown to them. and these might seriously affect the type of anaesthetic to be given. or even the extent of the operation Why? For one thing, hospitals are just like many other complex organizations. In these it has been found that when there are many people involved, or many proce- dures to be followed, the only way to maintain any semblance of con- trol and order is to have adequate rules and regulations governing all routine. Otherwise, confusion and chaos are bound to become preva- lent. I know of one instance where rel- atives of an individual who was about to undergo a major opera- tion were critical of hospital "red tape" because he was not permit- ted to have his usual breakfast. They did not realize that a meal might greatly increase the hazards of the anaesthetic. that it might interfere with the operation, or even cause vomiting which, in turn, could cause death by chok- ing. Most hospitals object to young- sters visiting in the children's or maternity wards. This regulation, appreciated by medical and hospi- tal staffs, is mainly designed to curb or reduce the possibility of spreading communicable diseases. A major gripe of some people who have relatives or friends con- fined to hospital is that they are unable to visit the patient at al- most any hour of the day or night, even when that patient is not ser- iously ill. They don't stop to con- sider that it would be grossly un- fair to make exceptions and if visi- tors were allowed at all hours, the medical staff, the housekeeping and dietary staffs, and particularly the nurses, would have great difficulty getting their work done. Further- more, every doctor and nurse is well aware that many patients Would make a more rapid reccivery if there were fewer visitors.

There are numerous other pro- cedures which most hospitals fol- low and which, of necessity. may be regarded as "red tape". Some of these are necessary to conform to legislation and those legal re- quirements which are applicable to their everyday existence. Such requirements may include the ob- taining of certain information from the patient or his relatives ' Furthermore. in order to protect , themselves and members of their medical staffs from unwarranted legal action, hospitals obtain writ- ten consent for an operation and other procedures. Most regulations are resigned to protect the patient. A good exam- ple is one whereby, except in cas- es of dire emergency, an opera- tion may not be performed unless a pre -operative diagnosis has been recorded on the patient's chart. This regulation was developed by medical staffs themselves to pro- tect the patient from hasty and un- necessary surgery. It is also in- teresting to note that in this pro- vince no major operation can be performed on a public patient without a consultation by members of the surgical staff. The regula- tion respecting therapeutic abor- tion is quite strict. These are just a few of many regulations which have been set up and are rigidly followed by pub- lic hospitals everywhere in On- tario. It is true, some of them seem like a lot of "red tape" and appear restrictive to us at the time, regardless of whether we be in the position of the patient, relative, or even the attending physician. Nev- erthless, each regulation has a reason and we cannot help but re, alize that they have been develop- ed over the years for the primary purpose of safeguarding and pro- tecting the patient.
