Local athlete qualifies for competition
On Saturday, July 3 Track and Field
Chairlady Betty Felker accompanied a bus
load of school athletes and their parents to
the District Track and Field meet in Kit-
chener. This was the first time in a long time
Seaforth had had any athletes attend this
meet. It is encouraging to those in charge
that there. Is an upturn in enthusiasm for
track and field.
Lisa Henderson was second in her event
and qualified for the Provincial finals. In
this meet she was not a whiner, but did very
well in competition with other girls from
larger cities that have all the training
facilities larger schools can offer. Maybe
next year local athletes will have more
training and be able to do better. Con-
gratulations to all the entrants for
participating.
Last Saturday the Zone Golf tournament
was hosted by the Seaforth Branch at the
Seaforth Golf and Country Club. Approx-
imately 75 golfers competed from the
various Branches in Zone Cl. Seaforth had
two teams and one Senior team qualify to go
to the District tournament to be held later in
August. After the players finished their
rounds of golf, dinner was served in the
Legion by the Ladies Auxiliary.
We were very sorry to hear of the tragic
fire which swept the Brussels Legion last
week, leaving nothing much except the four
walls standing. Seaforth and the other Bran-
ches in the District will be willing to help the
Brussels members in any way they possibly
Thursday, July 14 at 8 p.m. there will be
an Executive meeting. All Committee chair-
ment will be asked to attend.
We are glad to hear that President Mel is
out of hospital again, and we hope he will
soon be out and about.
Clinton and Seaforth members attended a
Legion service for Frank Crich, late of
Huronview. Comrade Crich was a First War
Veteran. To his family and friends who sur-
vive we offer sincere condolences in their
loss of a loved one.
They grow not old as we that are left grow
old. Age shall not weary them nor the years
condemn. At the going down of the sun and
in the morning we will Remember them.

HEALTH ON THE HILL—

nament at the Seaforth Golf Club on Wednesday of last week and are going to assist

Times Have Changed ...
A job description for a floor nurse 100 years ago, provided courtesy of Geigy Phar-
maceuticals, shows that the nursing profession has come a long way.
In addition to caring for 50 patients, each floor nurse was required to follow these
regulations:
1. Daily sweep and mop the floors of your ward, dust the patient's furniture and win-
dow sills.
2. Maintain an even temperature in your ward by bringing in a scuttle of coal for the
day's business.
3. Light is important to observe the patient's condition. Therefore, each day fill kerosene
lamps, clean chimneys, and trim wicks. Wash the•windows once a week.
4. The nutse's notes are important in aiding the physician's work. Make your pens
carefully, you may whittle nibs to your individual taste.
5. Each nurse on day duty will report every day ut 7 a.m. and leave at 8 p.m., except
on the Sabbath on which day you will be off from 12 noon to 2 p.m.
6. Graduate nurses in good standing with the director of nurses will be given an even-
ing off each week if you go regularly to church.
7. Each nurse should lay aside from each pay day a goodly sum of her earnings for
her benefits during her declining years, so that she will not become a burden. For ex-
ample, if you earn $40 a month you should set aside $15.
8. Any nurse who smokes, uses liquor in any form, gets her hair done at a beauty shop,
or frequents dance balls will give the director of nurses good reason to suspect her worth,
intentions and integrity.
9. The nurse who performs her labors, serves her patients and doctors faithfully aid
without fault for a period of 5 years will be given an increase by the hospital administra-
tion of 50 a day providing there are no hospital debts that are outstanding.
Advances Training
As part of the ongoing training which members of the hospital.staff undergo, Mary
Diegel will go on a 3 week job placement in September at Groves Memorial Hospital,
Fergus. Her tour of Fergus is part of her Health Records Technician's course.
