'Best care P°sible' a,
Contrary to popular belief the hospital
auxiliary is not an organization for old
ladies." It is, according to its members, an
organization for men and women of all ages,
who want to ensure the people of Seaforth are
offered the best care possible when and if
they have to be hospitalized.
"Our prime purpose is to make the patient
'' said Frances
-are
sidentof the (le tSeaforth Community Hospi-
tal Auxiliary.
"And we do that in different ways, whether
it be through the number of hands on projects
we offer which deal in actual patient care, or
through the provision of financial assistance
to help purchase needed equipment at the
hospital."
First started in Seaforth in 1933 the
auxiliary has been active for almost all of the
53 years since then. It did experience a brief
period of dormancy during the war when the
Red Cross effort was so prevalent in the
country,
Of the original members Dorothy Hays and
Alice Reid are the only ones still active in the
auxiliary today. There are 42 active members
and 24 associate members although accord-
ing to Mrs. Teeter() that number is constantly
changing. .
The Seaforth hospital auxiliary is perhaps
most noted for its gift shop, located on the
right just inside the hospital's main entrance,
With its array of handmade baby outfits,
afghans, slippers, pillows, crafts, and mugs
and such, the gift shop has gained the
reputation of being one of the best hospital
gift shops in southwestern Ontario.
, • W e have people coming down from
Clinton, or up from Stratford to buy our baby
outfits," said Marion MacLean.
"And I've even known people to buy some
of our stuff, (nark it up four or five dollars,
and sell it at other sales," added Mrs.
Teatero.
"In comparison with other shops in the
area, people say ours is much better.
Run by the auxiliary members on a
volunteer basis the shop is the primary
money maker for the auxiliary. The hand-
made wares are all done on a volunteer basis,
as well, with the auxiliary supplying the wool.
The windows are changed every two or three
months in keeping with the change of
seasons, or special events.
"It is very well run and very efficient,"
said Mrs. MacLean.
"And it is very well patronized by the staff
as well as the patients, added Mrs. Teatero.
"Most of the stuff we sell you can't buy any
cheaper."
But although the gift shop is its mainstay it
is not the only service the hospital auxiliary
provides

a number of fundraising events, including
