superintendent, Mrs. S. Bates,
in the absence at a nurses' meet-
ing in Toronto of Miss "Drope. -
During 1961 there were 1,103
admissions and 597 out-patients.
Births- totalled 156, surgicals
389, and X-rays, 1,567.
Occupancy averaged 87 per
-cent, with medical and surgical
at 109.2 per cent.
Crowding Serious
The report explained the
problems the staff faced in pro-
viding accommodation and the
difficulties in providing proper
service with patients in the,
halls.
The report said in part: "The
staff have been faced with the
same problem in 1961 as in pre-'
vious year. that of admitting
patients. Emergencies always
seem to have to be "put into
hall beds, and there is always
a waiting list in the office of pa-
tients to be admitted. The medi-
cal staff also have their prob-
lems,
roblems, which, at times are very
serious—so often their very ill
patient has to be put on 'the
waiting list.
"May I remind you that the
hospital door never closes—it
operates 24 hours daily, seven
days a week. It must always be
ready with facilities to meet
emergencies — supplies, equip-
ment and staff.
"All,employees who have
been on the staff for two years
are partaking of the hospital
pension plan, which came intra
effect January, 1960.
"The Women's Hospital forth
are, as ever, putting forth
every effort to make things
pleasant for the staff and are

so interested in the patients'
welfare. They so willingly give
of their time. To each of yeu I
express- a• -very sincere thanks.
The "tuck cart" has became a
very important piece of equip-
ment along with • the visits to
the patient. •
"It is difficult to report on
nursing services only, since it
functions efficiently only when
all other services are support-
ing it. Each in itself is a busi-
ness and must co-operate with
all others, •so that the patient
receives the best we can pos-
sibly offer.
"A most determined effort
has been made to render all
essential servicesi
to patients
entering the institution, even
though the hospital has had to
operate under extremely over-
crowded conditions."
Miss Gladys Thompson re- I
ported for the Women's Hospi-
tal Auxiliary and reviewed ac-
tivities which had been carried
out. These included operation
of tuck cart, student bursary,
staff gifts, cups to first baby,
•and oxygen tent and furniture
donations. The auxiliary is ac-
cumulating funds to assist in
financing a new hospital.
Plans Underway
Mr. McLean reviewed pro-
gress being made on plans for
the new hospital. Architects
and consultants had completed
preliminary drafts and these
were now being reviewed, and
it was expected would=' be avail=
able to' the board within' a few
weeks. Plans were on the basis
af. a hospital of 48 beds, for
which the 011SC had' given ap-
proval. Mi. McLean said until
preliminary- plans had been
completed, it would not be pos-
sible to estimate costs, but in
the meantime it was ,known that
approximately $400,000.00 in
grants and cash was available
for construction.
As soon as complete estimates'
were available, decisions con-
cerning construction, based on
the possibility of financing the
balance required, would be
taken.
Difficulty of providing an
equitable basis for assistance
by rural and urban municipali-
ties in the fate of existing as-
sessment practises was raised
by. Reeve Tom Leiper, of Hul-
lett. Others who spoke includ-
ed Reeve R. Bauer, of Logan,
Reeve Elgin Thompson of Tuck-
ersmith, D. Sills, Seaforth PUC
Chairman, and Don MacRae
and J. Cronin, Dublin trustees.
The meeting elected as direc-
tors for a two-year term, M.
McKellar J. F, Keating, Mrs.
John Hillebrecht and Mrs. M.
W. Stapleton. Mr. McKellar, a
member of the board since- its
inception, was again elected
honorary chairman, and,the firm
of Davis, Dunn & Broughton
was appointed auditor.

e-ccIIs Service
Candidate
ERNIE C. FISHER
If elected, I plan to visit and
revisit all ridings in the dis-
trict 'to learn more abopt the
problems of those people and
to help find the solutions."
In transferring his talents to
the federal field, Ernie remains
dedicated to the interests of the
electorate in his home constitu-
ency: He is a three -generation
Huronite., His grandfather, Hen-
ry Fisher, operated a farm
in Colborne Township, near
Benmiller, and it was there that
Ernie's father, Richard, was
born. Ernie himself was born
on the farm in Tuckersmith
Township,• two miles east of
Clinton.
At the age of six he carne to
Goderich and, shortly after,
started his schooling at Vic-
toria Public School, continuing
on into Goderich Collegiate In-
stitute. Atis time th t n e h e was
active in such sports as hockey
and baseball; he recalled a six-
week layoff with a broken ankle
sustained during a game with
Drysdale, played in St. Joseph.
With R.C.A.F.
During 1941, Ernie enlisted
with the RCAF and trained as
a wireless operator air -gunner.
Later he was transferred to
RAF Transport • Command, at
Goose Bay, and served as navi-
gator on the big Catalina bomb-
ers engaged in coastal patrol.
During this period, while serv-
ing with the • 161st Squadron,
his commanding officer was
Wing Commander J. K. Sully,
who now is vice-president
and general manager of Dom-
inion Road Machinery Company,
where • Ernie is presently'`
ployed. DRMCO has granted
two months' leave of absence
to facilitate Ernie's election
campaign.
Upon. termination of his wa
service, in 1945, he entered
Ryerson Institute of Technology,
Toronto, for -a two-year course
in industrial electronics. Gradu-
ating in 1947, he .became associ-
ated with radio station CFPL,
London, as transmitter techni-
cian. Six months later, a vac-
ancy at DRMCO brought Ernie
back to Goderich and his pre-
sent position with the company
as chief electrician.
His political career began in
1952 with his election to • Gode-
rich Town Council. Continu-
ing in that capacity since, that
time, he was elected to the
deputy'reeveship MI 1955 and
1956, elevated to reeite in 1957,
and in 1958 began his current
five terms as Mayor of the Town
of Goderich. As deputy reeve,
and later reeve, he served on
various committees with Huron
County Council for three years:
Helped On Farm
The aspiring Liberal candi-
date is married to the former
Luella B. Bedard, ; of Drysdale,
and is the' father of three chil-
dren: Rickey, nine; Brenda,
seven, and another daughter,
Auleen, who is a teacher at
the new St. Mary's School in
Coderich. Mrs. Fisher's father.,
1V1r. 'Albert Bedard, is known as
a highly respected and success-
ful farmer in the Drysdale dis-
trict. It was customary during
earlier year, for Ernie to ar-
range his summer vacations so
that he could assist with grain
harvesting on, his father-in-law's
farm. He still claims a measure
of prpficiency at milking, hoe-
ing and other farm chores.
Candidate Fisher is a mem-
ber of Royal Canadian 'Legion,
Branch 109, and is the holder of
a citation from Air Marshal
Leckie, of the RCAF. The cita-
tion mentions his ". . . The
and quick thinking .
during an emergency occur-
rence at a relief flying field. near
Uplands Airport, near the war's
end. A Harvard training plane,
with an instructor and a stu-
dent aboard, ran low on fuel
during a night training flight.
With no time to light a flare
path, Ernie organized emerg-
ency lights from station auto-
mobiles and Verey pistols, and
after much rushing around was
able to light the field sufficient-
ly for the Harvard to land with-
out casualties. The plane was
without fuel when it touched
down. •- ; .
With characteristic energy
and thoroughness, Mayor Fish-
er already has visited all 22
municipalities in the electoral
district of Huron, checking
Liberal organization in the
131 polls. He has endeavored
to meet, individually, as many
voters as possible and will con-
tinue this personal contact
throughout his campaign. Un-
der the direction of his cam-
paign manager, Joseph Gunn,
of Crediton, he is devoting 14
hours daily to the varied de-
mands of a political campaign.
As side interests, Mayor Fish-
er is a past president of the
Goderich Trades and Labor
Council, past president of Local
1863, International Association
of- Machinists and a charter
member of the Goderich Rotary
Club. His working associates in
the Goderich Liberal Associa-
tion include J. K. Hunter, vice-
president, and Dan J. Murphy,
treasurer.
Working from his campaign
headquarters, on. " the Square
near East Street, Mayor.,Ernk
Fisher promises an active and
vigorous .seven..weeks of earn-
paigning in his effort to repre-
sent" Huron riding in the next
Dominion Parliament. He will
continue his duties as Mayor
of Goderich until the comple-
tion of his present term.
