the Kirk Session and the congregation of the Lucknow Pres-
byterian Church, in recognition of the 50th anniversary of his
ordination as a Ruling Eider. His wife, Margaret, also an active
and faithful member of the church, was presented with a
bouquet of roses. Mr. and Mrs. Mowbray are shown with Ken
Laidlaw (left) Clerk of Session and Rev. Peggy Kinsman. A
luncheon followed the worship service for family members and
the congregation. The events of Sunday came as a complete

family members started arriving In church, did he become
curious. (Marg. Burkhart photo)

RNA school
by Mike Robinson
Wingham and District Hospital
CEO Lloyd Koch is pleased with
the positive support by the public
for Wingham's RNA school which
is in jeopardy because of
government cutback.
Ongoing discussions are underway
to extend the .life of the school for
one additional year.
On May 13, Mr. Koch met with
Linda Tennat in. the Ministry of
Health, along with her staff mem-
bers, administrative assistants from
Ruth Grier's and Paul Klopp's
office, as well as representatives
from the five other RNA programs.
The group presented its request to
continue funding the RNA
programs for one more year in
order for them to explore other
sources of funding. He said a
recommendation would be sent to
the Ministry and that they would
get back with a decision.
He' noted the letters of support
from hospitals in Huron County,

the group speaks with other poten-
tial sources of funding for ,the
program. .
He added the public support
around the issue has been 'outsta-
nding' and well informed.
Statistics
Things are not always what .they
seem, as recent statistics at the
Wingham and District Hospital
have shown.
April was a busy month with
1,599 patient days compared to
1,437 last year. The operating room
and O.P.D. were also busier, he
said
In the report he noted the average
length of stay for the month was
709.7 days. The 'blip' was due to
the discharge to a nursing home of
one patient who had been at the
hospitals for five and three quarter
years -- the remainder_ of the
patients were only in between five
and 10 days.
However, the length of stay is
calculated on all the days of stay
for all patients discharged during
the month - an aberation is created
when one long-term patient is dis-
charged. .
Pay equity
The Wingham and District
Hospital Board ,of Governors is
frustrated that it cannot implement
pay equity to its staff. Hospital
CEO Lloyd Koch said the problem
is that the board requires approval
by the pay equity commission to
get things rolling.
Last month, the board gave its
approval to post the pay equity plan
subject to the approval of a pay
equity officer -- but as of yet the
hospital has not received approval
of the pay equity officer.
Mr. Koch said he has spoken to
that person about the frustration
being created by the delays.
Ht,}tever, up to this point all he has
received are promises for the officer
to get in touch with the hospital
soon.
"I would like to get this issue
settled, but feel it would be inap-
propriate to proceed without the
approval of the pay equity commis-
sion," said Mr. Koch.
He said both he, the board and
the staff are frustrated by the lack
of progress and the mixed messages
being sent by the commission.
On May 26, Mr. Koch received a
