Progress Slowly
Harold Lawson, chairman of
the board, reported work on
the new wing was "going slow-
ly" and he said he doubted if
it would be ready for use in
less than two months.
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
