t3CINL' TO TORONTO
It was decided that a com-
mittee would meet with of-
ficials of the C)HSC in Toronto
on Tuesday of this week for a
conference in regard to the
plans for the new wing. Local
planners feel that two operat-
:a motifs and two delivery
rooms arc a necessity, but Tor-
onto officials have so far resist-
ed approval of more than one
in each case.
Board member Dr. Mel Cor-
rin expressed the belief that in
future a great deal more major
s;. eery will be handled m the
Wingham. Hospital than has
been the case :n the past. He

mooed to Clinton and Goderich
and that if facilities were avail-
able here there would not be
any need to remove patients to
London for major surgery, Dr,
W. A. Crawford did not agree
on this point, expressing the be-
lief that more operations could
be performed in afternoon hours
and so getting greater use from
one operating room,
O.R. PRECAUTIONS
Reporting for the medical
staff, Dr. Corrin outlined the
precautions which are always
taken to make sure that there
are no accidents during surgery.
This section of the report was
interesting in the light of the
two recent cases in which in-
struments were left within a pa
tient's body in other hospitals.
He said that complete instru-
ment counts are taken before
and after surgery; sponges are
either entirely x-ray visible or
have metal rings attached so
they could be located by x-ray.
Linens are carefully recorded
and accounted for after surgery.
VISITING AGES
Board member Barry Wenger
questioned a notice which had
recently been posted in the
main lobby stating that no visit-
ors ;ander 16 years of age would
be admitted other than in the
north wing where chronic pa-
tients are hospitalized. He
pointed out that the ruling cre-
ates a hardship in cases where
a patient could not be permit-
ted to see members of his or
her own family. Mrs. Morrey,
hospital administrator, stated
that one purpose of the ruling
was to curtail the spread of
childhood diseases and another
is that considerable difficulty is
experienced in handling groups
of teen-age visitors who come
to visit friends in hospital.
A motion was passed that the
notice be amended to permit
persons from 12 to 16 years of
age as visitors if they are mem-
bers of the patient's immediate
family. (As in the past child-
ren under 12 are not permitted
to visit patients other than in
the north wing and only two
visitors are allowed,per patient
at any one time.)
ADMINISTRATION
Mrs. I. Morrey reported that
the medical by-laws which form
a part of the hospital's new by-
laws have been approved by
order -in -council.
She also said that a meeting
is to be called at the Huronview
home at Clinton, when repre-
sentatives of the county, the
hospitals, the Department of
Welfare and the Ontario Hospi-
tal Services Commission will
gather to discuss the increasing
problem of chronic patients.
Mrs. Morrey .also submitted
the following statistics for the
month of Februan: 16 births;
53 operations; outpatients;
2.70 x-rays; 1 basal metabolism
rating; 8 blood transfusions; 1057
laboratory proced:ares; 43 elec-
trocardiographic examinations;
36 at cancer clini. ; 45 physio-
therapy patients; total hospital
days amounted to C., 666, for an
average of 93 pat:ants daily.
PROPERTY C ONIM.
There was considerable dis-
cussion in regard to the dispo-
sition of the house which the
hospital owns on Catherine
Street and which is vacant at
the present time. On motion
duly carried it was decided to
turn the matter cr to the pro-
perty committee, with the
recommendation that it be rent-
ed.
Mrs. Morrey reported that
Mrs. Statia has completed her
course as a food supervisor and
is an honor graduate.
It was also learned that Mrs.
Morrey has been nominated as
a fellow of the American Col-
lege of Hospital Administrators.
Another staff member, Mrs.
Alexander, physiotherapist, has
received approval for treatment
of Workmen's Compensation
Board patients. Mrs. Morrey
pointed out that the WCB re-
quires very high standards be-
fore approval, which Mrs. Al-
exander has completely fulfill-
ed.

consuming to carry on in that

Ron step down, but trust he will
be able to continue his help and
support to the Pack.
A game followed and then
the Sixes settled down to a
period of modelling with plasti-
cine — the items made by the
boys will be used as table dec-
orations for the Father and Son
banquet on April 7th. Many
excellent pieces were turned
out and this project will be fin-
ished at the next meeting.
Several of the boys have
passed the requirements for First
Star, Tom McLaughlin, Jeff
Lockridge, Bill Brown, Ray Rob-
inson, and Ron Perrott. These
were presented at the closing
ceremonies. Tom McLaughlin
also received his Artist Badge.
All Cubs are again reminded
to return the form for the Father
and Son banquet signed by their
parent; each Cub is asked to re-
turn this form whether the fath-
er can attend or not. All Cubs
and Scouts whose fathers are
unable to be present for the '
banquet are welcome to come
along and join in the fun and
festivities of the evening. This
is your annual banquet so be
sure to attend Tuesday eve-
ning, 6:30 p.m. at the Wing -
