Clinton News-Record, 1975-04-03, Page 9t easy very enlightening for Mrs. Pearson who claims that a hospital is a, "whole new world" compared to other businesses or facilities. She says, she more than enjoyed her employment there and speaks proudly of the, education she received in her secretarial post. "There are so many aspects to the job that I had to learn that other secretaries would never have to understand." Medical terminology, names of diseases their symptoms and results, types of treatments for mental illness and names and causes for mental disorders are among the many aspects the job that made the last 12 years so satisfying for Mrs. Pearson. Along with the constant change of her workload she also had a change in bosses. When she started at the hospital in 1963 Doctor J.M. Hagan was ad- ministrator and in the cen- tennial year, 1967, Doctor M.F. Conlon took over duties managing. Only one week into her retirement period Mrs. Pearson has not had time to really become adjusted to the change. She is not expecting her life to become drastically altered. Officially she should have finished Monday but the long weekend gave her . an advantage of two days extra retirement. "The impact of the retirement probably won't be realized until I get up in the morning and realize I don't have to go to work and every one else does," she said. She plans to join her husband at home an.' spend some more time with her neighbours. She plans to enjoy life and spend time with her hobbies of crocheting and knitting. Her husband spends a great deal of time refinishing furniture and helps out on the family farm in Goderich township during the planting season. "I want to do things all the time," she said. "If you want to do things you can certainly find enough to do without sitting idle. One can stagnate in an awful hurry without keeping busy." Four of Mrs. Pearson's sons are married and she is looking forward to spending a lot of time with her six grand- children. "They will keep. me busy with no effort at all," she smiled. MONDAY THROUG..

Mrs. Helen 'Pearson retired from her job as secretary to the Goderich Psychiatric hospital administrator last Thursday, a job . she held even before the hospital was officially opened as a hospital. She took up her employment at the institute just after the construction of the building was completed several months before the official opening ceremonies. Retiring was something Mrs. Pearson has looked forward to for some time but when the big day came last week she admits she was suffering from mixed emotions. "It's not easy to leave a place where you have worked since it was opened," she said. Prior to working at the hospital Mrs. Pearson worked at Canadian Forces Base Clinton as a secretary. She spent six and a half years at the base, a job she took up after 20 years as housewife for her husband Les and mother for her sons Ron, Larry, Bob and Terry. The 12 years at the psychiatric hospital have been BY MRS. IVAN McCLYMONT Misses Cheryl and Linda Webster were with a party of nineteen students from Clinton High School who spent a few days in Rome and the Isle of Capri.
