(Staff photo). New Road Signs Mark Harpurhey A campaign begun several 'months ago bore fruit last week when a pioneer community re gained its identity. • Harpurhey one of the ear- liest settlements in the Huron tract — has always been known to area residents as a pleasant community west of Seaforth. Not for years, however, has the name appeared on a map nor has there been anything such as a sign to indicate its existence. Recognizing the oversight, residents determined that Har- purhey would regain its proper place in the public eye and un- dertook a campaign to erect signs at the east and west en- trances to the community. The signs have how become a reality. The move for signs was spear- headed by Gordon Halley and Gar Baker and gained support of old tirne residents as well as recent arrivals. All had a common pride in -a community with roots extending to the earliest days of the Canada Company. , The victim of the vd1wey when it 'came through HOrOn more than a hundred years ago, Harpurhey lost its standing as a trading centre when the sta- tion to serve EgmondvilIe- and Harpurhey was established at Seaforth which at that time was more than 10 years away .from becoming incorporated as a village. The iraportance of the com- munity in past years was re- called some months ago by Miss Belle Campbell' in her Seaforth area ' history "From Forest to Thriving Hamlets". ; Discusses Youth in -Action "Youth in Action" was the subject of an address by James R. peat before 35 members of the ;Fireside Fellowship Group of First Church, Tuesday eve- ning. • Bert Moggach presided and a Seripture lesson was read bY Mrs. D. 0. Fry. Appreciation to Mr. Scott was e.xpressed by Miss Alice Reid. . - SiAFORTHI ()NT.A.R10,'TI-MRStIAZ.:00TOBER 2,'1968 10 PAUS- [.ro*inqa., Team Hospital Surveys A: survey leant from the Col- lege of Pilysiciens and Surgeons of Ontario arid the Ontario nos. pita Association was in Sea. forth Wectleiday in the course of visits to MAP 120 smeller hospitals in Ontark as Part of the voluntary -Hospital Assess- ment Progrein being conducted jointly by the: two organizations. , The visiting team, vilick be- gan its tour late last month, con- sists of three physicians, and a, hospital administrator.

Following a detailed tour of Seaforth Community Hospital, the group met with the. hospital medical staff, the ad- ministrator and board members to discuss conclusions that have been reached. • Twenty-two hospital adminis- trators And 40 doctors from across Ontario accepted invita- tions to serve on the teams. All are experienced in the adminis- tration of small or medium ,siz- ed hospitals and the efficient organization of medical services in 'these institutions. In all five teams will participate-- in the program, , "The response of administrat- ors and doctors has been one of enthusiasm ad wholeheart- ed support for this important program", ' said Dr. J. C. C. Dawson, Registrar of the Col- lege. "They have 'welcomed the -invitations to participate, even though in some instances it means they must be on the road for smile days." - R. Alan Hay, Executive Dir- ector of the Ontario Hospital Association, whohas shared in the -task -of scheduling the ,aur- veys, stressed the fact the as- sessment is wholly voluntary end the visits are made only with the 'full approval of the hdepitaIs concerned.. "We have been greatly encouraged by the ready acceptance of the assess- ment programme by the,boards, administrators and medical staff of small hospitals, and by the willingness - of busy physi- cians and -administrators to give gerferensly of their time to conduct the survey. Not one hospital has turned down the offer of a survey and many have gone out of their way to com- mend the initiative taken by the College and the OHA." This constructive study of ad- ministrative policies and pro- cedures is aimed towards over- all improvement of standards of patient cure and service to the conamunity. The whole aim of the assessment programme is positive, Gordon McKeniie, administrator of Seafortir Com - 0,111nitY Hospital explained.
