He said one of the reasons for the slow progress was the fact that some of the plaster was not drying properly and it had to be dry before painting could commence. Finance chairman, O. L. Eng- elstad, reported donations for the addition were coming slow- ly at .present, and suggested a canvass of the rural area should be planned early in the spring. When questioned if an in- crease in staff would be requir- ed when the new wing was open, Mrs. W. R. Phinney, sup- erintendent of the hospital, re- ported some would be needed in the domestic department and probably in the nursing division as well. However, she said it would depend on the number of pat- ients to determine whether an increased staff would be need- ed or not. She told the board, there were presently 25 nurses on the staff, half of which are profes- sional. This does not include the staff in the special depart- ments, such as x-ray technic- ians. There are another 15 pers- ons who are employed as do- mestic helpers. Mrs. Phinney stated last month had been "even", start- ing with 42 patients in hospital and ending with 43. There was a total of 117 ad- missions, 23 births, six deaths, 45 operations and 149 x-rays. She reported the nurses were planning a dance for Friday, February 15 and extended an invitation to the board mem- bers, Ladies Make Drapes Mrs. John Cochrane, presi- dent of the Hospital Auxiliary, attending her first meeting since being named to the post, reported her group was busy making drapes for the hospi- tal and had already completed those intended for the dining hall. Mrs, Cochrane said the ladies had picked out the material for the drapes in the new wing and would start work on them in the near future. Lawson commended the lad- ies for their work, reporting they had been busy for several weeks. nights during the past two "I hope the board members appreciate this Work," he stat- ed, "because the ladies are sav- ing us a good deal of money." The chairman explained to the board that the architect had advised against laying a sidewalk to the northern ent- rance of the new wing. The main reason given was that this door is to serve only as an ,emergency exit. In other business, the board: Learned that "panic hard- ware" for the two doors in the pretent building would cost $200 and they decided to take no action at the present time. Were told that insttlatiOn had been placed throughout the en- tire old building, at a cost of $844.73, a large saving over the original estimate for the job, Agreed to parchage a new three.drawer filing cabinet for the xq-ay department at a cost of $1:70,10, Set the date for their an, nual Meeting as Monday, treb,, rtlary 18 at 8:00 p,m. in the Clinton town hall, loty program they had planned Unit One An illustrated travelogue of the World's Fair, of her trip across Canada and the return journey through .the United S`tates was presented by Mrs, Brock Olde at the January meeting of Unit One.
