Carter, the' pastor, Rev. L. J. Coughlin, drew attention to the fact that St. Columban was one . of the pioneer parishes of the diocese, Mass being offered on the site in 1832. Bishop Carter spoke to the people, congratulating them on their steadfastness to their faith and on the way they have con- formed to the changes in the Liturgy. Accompanying the Bishop was his secretary, Rev, G. L. Blondy. Other clergy who assisted were Rev. R. Durand, Dublin; Rev. 11. J. Laragh and Rev. S. T. Saigeon, Seaforth.

Cancer Blitz Underway While returns up to date have been quite satisfactory„ Seaforth' area citizens have a long way to go before they meet their cancer campaign objective, J. R. Spittal, who heads the Sea - forth campaign, said this week. Approximately $700.00 of the $2,500.00 objective has been re- ceived "SDHS student; are doing a good •job in carrying out the area canvass and there has been a fair response by mail," he said, and added that the coin: mittee was hopeful that when the canvass was completed the objective, would be met. While the area canvass got under way this week when SDHS students began calling on homes across the district, much of the area remains to be can- vassed, he said. Should any person have been missed, contributions may be forwarded by mail or left at a Seaforth Bank, Mr. Spittal said.

And a lot of the visitors will require overnight acc.omrno- dation. To make arrangements for these visitors, a committee, head- ed by Orville Wessman, Grand Bend, has been busy for more than a year. While accommoda- tion' is being arranged within a 25 -mile radius of Seaforth, it is the immediate area of the. match site that the need is greatest. A local committee, headed by Dave Cornish, is busy lining up this local accommodation. Al- ready many rooms have been listed, Mr. Cornish said, but added that them had been a greater response in the rural areas than in Seaforth. He felt there were many Seaforth resi- dents who could make accom- modation available but who had neglected to advise him. He asked that all interested com- plet an information coupon so that the committee would have complete information on file. (See page 3 for accommoda- tion query coupon).

It was the 37th, annual meet- ing since Scott Memorial Hos- pital as established in 1928. The name of the hospital was changed when the move to the new hospital was completed last September. While comparisons were dif- ficult in view of the increased capacity of the new hospital, reports presented to the .meet- ing indicated the hospital had completed a record year. In her report, administrator Miss V. Drone said patient days totalled 11,948, up from 10,713. Occupancy over the year con- tinued high, with medical and surgical at 101.2%, down from 109.6% in 1964. Admissions during the year totalled 1,035. The meeting, attended by about 40, was in charge of Wm. Dennis, vice-president of the board. John Longstaff, chairman of the 'finance committee, present- ed the treasurer's statement, in- dicating that operating tests in- creased from $209,304.00 to $239,217,00 during the year. Revenue from accommodation amounted to $240,174,00. - Referring tb hospital cam- paign fund, Mr. Langstaff said pledges outstanding amounted to, $48423.00. Of this amount, approximately $12,000.00 was in arrears. He said efforts were being made to . encourage c on - ors -:to bring pledges up to date, since financing of the new build- ing had been 'proceeded with on the assumption that area don- ors would honor the pledges they had made. Property committee chairnian- J: M. Scott said ,some work re- mained to be completed at the new building, particularly in connection with seeding and landscaping. He said the con- tractors were expected to carry out seeding as soon as weather permits. Mr. Scott told the meeting of •Ia landscaping design which had been prepared by Louis Flan- nery, a landscape architect,of Detroit .and a former Seaforth resident. He also mentioned plans the board was developing to make serviced lots avail- able should there be interest on the part of possible purl chasers. Mr. Dennis, who headed the building 'committee, told the meeting that work on parking lots and roadway 'would be un- dertaken shortly. Mrs. J. Mc- Connell, chairman of, the per- sonnel committee, reported on meetings at Which the hospital had been represented during the year. There are 03 full-time employees, on the staff 6f the hospital, In her report, Miss Drppe:. em- phasized the fact the hospital operates 24 hours a- day, every day in the year. With a staff of 63, it is among 'the largest employers in the community. Miss Drope referred to changes that had occurred, in- cluding the completion of the new building. She said the changes had been carried out with the full co-operation of the medical and nursing staff and the community. Dr. P. L. Brady, president of the medical staff, told the meet- ing the new facilities . were a -great • sten forward and were more conducive to application of modern techniques and stan- dards. He said formation of an admission and discharge cotin- n'Pittee by the .medical staff had resulted in a greater control over long-term patients, thus permitting beds to be released for active treatment patients. Dr. Brady said the new lab facilities saved much time and cost, and referred particularly to the meals in .the new beset- taI, and said alindat Without ex- ception the .patients were happy with the quality and service. On behalf of the medical staff. he extended, appreciation to the board gnd to 'Miss Drope.
