Isn't this s a party? ... by Gwyn
"Thirty Years of Caring." That's the
slogan that launcheda year-long
celebration for South Huron
Hospital. And, you must admit, it
really does have something to
celebrate.
It has grown from the simplicity of
the first Carling residence hospital, of
30 years ago, to the sophistication of
a total health-care complex, second
to none in this county.
The first of a series of com-
memorative events was the candle
lighting ceremony of the huge birth-
day cake, constructed at the front of
the hospital, February 3, Elmer D.
Bell, Q.C., first chairman of the
board, pushed the button to set the
candles alight. The glow from the
candles symbolized the Tight South
Huron Hospital has shed on the
health care of this area's residents for
30 years.
To further publicize the anniver-
BIRTHDAY CAKE commemorates South Huron Hospital's 30th anniversary.

Ulric Snell.
Bill Ellerington says few of the men
knew anything about hospitals, how
they were built or how they
operated."Yet, there we were faced
with making all those tough
decisions."
Benson Tuckey remembers with
satisfaction and some glee how they
put the pressure on the suppliers
who weren't accustomed to dealing
with such tight-fisted, hard-nosed
buyers.
"We were relentless about getting
discounts," he says. "I remember
one supplier who thought he had

sary, a hospital float was entered in
the Heritage Days and Exeter Fair
parades.
It is also hoped that this com-
memorative tabloid, issued as a sup-
plement to the Exeter Times -
Advocate and sponsored by adver-
tisements from many hospital sup-
porters, will recall, or enlighten peo-
ple to, the history behind the hospital
and heighten their knowledge of it as
it is today.
On the back page is a special in-
vitation from the chairman of the
board of directors, R.C. Dinney, to
all citizens to visit South Huron
Hospital during Open House,
November 23. This will be an oppor-
tunity to discover, first hand, what an
up-to-date facility the hospital is,
complete with ultrasound and other
highly technical equipment. It will
also be a time to find out just how
fortunate the residents of .he south
end cf Huron County are to hive it
operating so effectively with
dedicated staff and visiting
consultants.
Thirty Years of Caring. It really is
worth celebrating. Join the party.
given us a good price, in the first
place, but by the time we struck a
deal with him, we had persuaded
him to discount his equipment seven
more times!"
The committee got some
'astonishing' bargains just because
the members wouldn't buy until they
knew they had the rock bottom
price.
It was the same when dealing with
the government. Mr. Bell was the
member appointed to badger
government officials for grants "We
never let them off the hook until we
got what we wanted," he says.
So, if the construction of the
building was their main challenge,
what was their greatest satisfaction
when the hospital was finally
standing?
"Well, for one thing," laughs Mac -
Naughton, "we had our Saturday
nights free...but of course, the main
satisfaction was the way the whole
district took the hospital project to its
hearts and responded by digging in-
to their pockets to help pay for it. "It
made us all very proud."
