Grievance procedyres
updated by directors
A decision of considerable im-
portance to the • 200 -odd em-
ployees of the Wingham and Dis-
trict Hospital was made at the
meeting of the board of directors
last Wednesday evening.
Robert Ritter, chairman of the
management committee, report-
ed on meetings of that group
which had culminated in the
complete ,re -shaping and up -dat-
ing of the grievance procedures
open to hospital employees. Pur-
pose of the change is to permit
the widest possible latitude to any'
employee who feels he or she has
a legitimate complaint about •
anything pertaining to working
conditions.
The management ' committee
had made a complete review of
the personnel policies which gov-
ern the working conditions and
regulations of the staff. Many
minor changes had been made
throughout the document, but the
most important area dealt with
grievances and the way in which
they will be handled irf future.
Key to the entire grievance
.plan will be provision of a spokes-
man elected within each depart-
ment, by the employees, from
non -management ranks. When an
employee feels there is just cause
for grievance he or she can file a

written and signed complaint
with the department head, at
whichotime an effort will be made
to resolve the differences.
Failing satisfactory settlement
at this .point, the department
head is required to call, within 72
hours, a meeting of the complain-
ant, his elected department rep-
resentative and the department
head. If the second step in the
procedure fails to result in satis-
factory settlement of the com-
plaint the matter will be taken, to
a meeting, within three working
days, of the department head, the
complainant, the representative
and the hospital administrator.
If agreement is still not pos-
sible the administrator must re-
fer the matter to the manage-
ment committee of the board of •
directors, whose decision shall be
final.
Work patterns and interlocking
departments have grown so com-
plex over the years that a pre-set
formula., for dealing with griev-
ances has become a necessity.
The committee also believes it is
vital that every employee should
have full access to appeal pro-
cedure whenever it is felt that in-
justice exists.

Board learns
syst
A new approach to the problem
of representation on the board of
the Wingham and District°Hospi-
tal will be sought, following a
meeting of that body last Wed-
nesday evening.
Chairman J T. Goodall in-
formed the board that although
the executive committee was
prepared to call a general meet-
ing of the association, to retify
the latest proposal for board elec-
tions, new information makes a
postponement necessary. Past
Chairman Barry -Wenger, who
had reviewed the subject with
Department of Health officials in
Toronto, was asked to detail what
he had learned.
The latter reviewed the succes-
sive steps which have to be taken
by the executive committee. in
order to recommend a change in
the Hospital Association bylaws
dealing with election of board
members.. He said that under the
prevailing by-laws a few board
members are appointed, e.g., by
the County of Huron, the Town of
Wingham,. the Medical Associa-
tion and the Hospital Auxiliary.
All other board members are
elected at the annual meeting of
the association.
Mr. Wenger said that it has
been customary for the annual
meeting, at which only asso-
ciated . members may vote, to
elect bcclamation those nomi-
nees whose names havebeen
submitted by the various rural
municipalities in the hospital
area. This system of elections has
proven unsatisfactory, in that
second nominations are possible
from the floor of the meeting with

Pastor revisits
stenos of youth
Rev. Stan Keast, now pastor of
the United Church of Christ at
Waterbury near New Haven,
Conn., was a visitor in Wingham
last week on what might be called
an annual pilgrimage back to the
scenes of his youth.
Mr. Keast came to Canada,
from England in 1929 and worked
on various farms in the 10th of
Tnirnberry area. He has many
happy memories of those years
from 1929 to 1938 when he left to
attend school and become a min-
ister:
He recalls a close association
with the Stokes family, still
prominent in Turnberry, and
remembers working on the con-
truction of the Belmore church.
Prior to the church, a building
once a smithy, known as "The
Old Hall" was used.
Mr. Keast has been a chaplain
with the U.S. Army for nearly 30
years, having spent several years
on shipboard duty, during World
War II and since then with U.S.
1st Army which covers a large
area on the eastern seaboard
states..
.Gasoline thefts,
tire squoahing
bring police . action
In the last three weeks, Wing -
ham Detachment, of the Ontario
Provincial Police has had a num-
ber of gas thefts reported. The
East, Wawanosh Township shed
has been entered twice and. gas
stolen, On June 17, gas was stolen
from the farm gas tank of Gary
' Rintoul in East Wawanosh Town-
ship. The gas thefts arel still un-
der investigation by the detach-
ment, Farmers .are asked to re-
port any vehicles being operated
in a suspicious manner in areas
where gas is stored.
During the past month
numerousreports of tire squeal-
ing have been received by the
Wingham Detachment. On Sung
day morning, charges of causing
.a disturbance and causing un-
necessary noise were laid against
Richard J. McDonald, RR 2,
Blyth, and Thomas M. Cardiff,
RR 2, Brussels. The charges
arose from . a tire -squealing
episode in the Village of Brussels.
tive, however, proved unaccept-
able to some of the rural mem-
bers, and the committee started
its work all over again, Last fall
the board agreed to contact
municipalities to ascertain their
reaction to a plan whereby board
representatives would be elected
within their own municipalities,
as is done in elections for board of
education. A large majority of
the townships either failed to re-
spond to the query or turned it
down.
The final recommendation of
the executive committee, and the
only aldernative they ' felt re-
mained to them, was that each
municipality, should appoint its
representative to the hospital
board. It was the intention of the
chairman to call a general meet-
ing of the Hospital Association for
ratification of this change in the
by-laws.
Mr. Wenger, however, had
learned from the legal section of
the health department, that it
would be contrary to the laws of
the province to formulate a board
of directors by appointment only.
He said that it appeared the only
alternative to the present system
of elections t the annual meeting
would be til& back to election of
directors within their own muni-
cipalities as proposed last fall.
It was evident from the com-
plications thus presented that
further study will be required.
The entire problem was once
again thrown into the lap of the
executive committee.
