The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-03-18, Page 3by Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. Report from Queen's Park The government introduced Ontario's proposed provincial flag for approval of the Legis- lature. Mr. Thompson, Liberal Leader and NDP Leader Donald MacDonald both questioned the wisdom of raising the emotion- * al issue of a flag in the house, Both indicated they would not take up the time of the Legis- lature in a long debate on the issue. The proposed amendment to the Constitution of Canada was introduced with expected op- position support despite some reservations that it was not given sufficient public expos- ure prior to the approval by the premiers of the 10 provinces. However, the Premier indicat- ed that the reason it was done the way it was instead of each province setting up Select Corn* Rabies Appears Still on Increase TORONTO- Rabies appears to be still on the increase accord- ing to information from the Ont- • ario Department of Health, with 51 more cases reported in Dec- ember than in November, 166 cases from 37 counties in Dec- ember, highest for the year. The two major areas of act- ivity reported appear to have joined in one continuous belt across the province and now in- volve the counties of Bruce, Grey, Simcoe, Victoria, Peter- borough, Hastings, Lennox and • a • Addington and Ftontenac. These eight counties alone accounted for 48% of all rabies last Dec- ember, Other counties showing no- table increases were Renfrew with its 14 cases, and Elgin, which is usually free of rabies, reporting eight cases. Fifty per cent of the cases occurred in wildlife species with 49 in fox and 31 inskunk. There were also two rabid wolves recorded from Hastings county. mimes to study the constitu- tion, was because of the time involved. If each province had agreed to the course of action of setting up Select Commit- tees, it could have resulted in a delay of as long as 10,12 years longer before the point, 44 which one stood today could have been reached. He suggest ed we just can't wait that long, Three departmental esti- mates have been cleared through the House, namely the Depart- ment of University Affairs, De- partment of Transport, and the Department of Tourism and Information, with the except- ion of five votes on the latter, This week will see the flag resolution coming before the House. HOW TO LIVE A LONG LIFE An old saying, often used by members of the legal and medical professions states,"If your family physician can scare you into taking care of your health and your lawyer can scare you into behaving yourself, you'll live a long and fruitful life." iso?%: ?;>•itmo.miz; E ':yir . • Zl Y„ 77118 WAY THIS SPRING! .. ...•:?L::�:i•}14::;'i'.n�:%G `C:i.':4.'•:::•f.'n::v: iEf,..:::.f::i:•l Right in the mainstream of fashion, yet very •. individually yours ... that's the look our wide assortment of styles can help you create, with ease.

The work is the first phase of a building and renovation pro- gram expected to total over $'700, 000. Installation of a 10, 000 gallon underground stor- age tank for fuel has beencom- pleted. Approval of the entire pro- gram has been received from the Ontario Hospital Services Commission and architects have called for tenders on the remainder of the work to be in their hands by April 1st. The project includes the in- stallation of new boilers, reno- vation and enlargement of the 1947 or centre wing of the building and the addition of a second storey above the 1956 wing. Few additional beds are scheduled, main purpose of the project being to provide modem operating, service and admini- stration quarters which are pre- sently housed in the original wing of the hospital. R. B. Cousins, board chair- man, presided for the meeting and the administrator, Mrs. I. E. Morrey, gave the statistics for the month of February, showing total admissions, 169; daily patient average, 89; 73 operations, 332 x-rays; 31 electro -cardiographic examina- tions, 22 births and 46 at the cancer clinic. FINANCES In the absence of Barry Weng- er, chairman of the finance committee, Mrs. Morrey re- ported revenue for the month of $55,888. Total allowable expenses were $55, 428, to which were added non -allow- able expenses for the month. Total of invoices paid during the month amounted to $59, - 704. The property committee re- ceived approval for the pur- chase of a new steam presser for the laundry department as well as an air compressor, total cost to be $2, 050. The new equipment will replace out- worn machines in the laundry. ACCREDITATION Dr. W. A. Crawford, chief of the medical staff, reported that a meeting of the staff's advisory Committee has consid- ered seeking accreditation of the medical procedures within the hospital and will seek such official standing. A meeting of the doctors and the hospital directors will be called shortly to discuss any problems related to medical records, Mr, Cousins reported that the board of the Wingham Public School is interested in the pos- sibility of purchasing steam from the hospital for a certain period of time while a building program is in progress at the school. The latter board is faced with the necessity of re- placing its heating equipment and was simply seeking inform- ation about the feasability of purchasing heat rather than in- stalling its own plant at the present time. The hospital board decided to gather the necessary information from its own chief engineer, as well as the architects in charge of the hospital building program. The board approved the inclusion of the Wingham Hospital in the newly formed region two of the Ontario Hospital Association which also includes such hospi- tals as Clinton, Exeter, Galt, Goderich, Kitchener, Guelph, Listowel, Ingersoll, Tillson- burg and Woodstock.
