The Goderich Signal-Star, 1972-12-07, Page 22AGE A ucSIGtAL.ArA THUR$E, Y. D CENMBER l97 CAS Christmas BROADFOCr Suggest Hartnell of England FINE FaApanr►ces FolIQwing 'a series of "'town meetings" throughout the County in October, the CAS will be co-ordinating its Christ- • mas plans for families and children on a regional basis throughout Huron County this year. For many years the CAS has undertaken to provide Christ- mas . assistance to ; families needing help with the provision of purchase vouchers for Christmas dinner and gifts for family members. In 1971, ap- proximately 200 families and over 700 children were assisted, thanks to the generous com- munity donations of funds and toys. "It probl large fice Goderich that the `rieeision vVas tii`ade` tti-set::up' a: -.._ Christmas Bureau in each of the five towns in the County," noted Bruce R. Heath, CAS Local Director, "along with the fact we were not availing our- selves of a wealth of volunteer support and assistance. Our Christmas projects are essen- tially a co-ordination of the ef= forts of . various local com- munity groups and interested individuals . in a combined volunteer effort." "Meeting the needs of the children and families referred to us is directly dependent on the response of the people of Huron County. Already we have received donations anti commitments of assistance from many community groups, and it is hod that as many as possible will again assist us this year," ' he said: "In many communities, church and service groups have• always taken it upon them- selves to engage in Christmas projects similar to our own. Where such activities are already in existence, these same groups would again be `responsible for people known to them or referred to them. In such cases, we would act only as a clearing house, or possibly share in the local project as ap- propriate. In setting up a Christmas Bureau, it has been our desire to make the best possible use of the voluntary cgllar apd donation," Heath said, "Any authorized represen- tative' of • a church or com- munity group may check our referral index at our office in Goderich, or with the local co- ordinator. Similarly families needing assistance can contact us directly or be referred by any community group or interested individual," he continued. "We are particularly desirous o assistance with toys' and games, and articles of clothing such asmitts, scarfs, and caps for all age groups. Both new toys, and used articles in good condition, are presently needed, along with appropriate gifts for the teenager: "Last year, many people out doing their own Christmas shopping made it a point to purchase one extra gift for a child, or a game which. could be used by a family group, and donated these to the Society. It is our hope that many people who are not af- filiated with various com- munity service groups, will con- sider those less fortunate than themselves and take it as.a per- sonal responsibility or charitable gesture to help in some small way," the Director noted. Planning for Christmas '72 actually began early in the year under the CAS Volunteer'Com- mittee Chairmanship of Mrs. J.G. Berry, with the distribution of material to various County groups for the making of over six hundred pairs of pyjamas, and distributing wool for mitts, adafra,.:'aiid 'atJier ar iicfes'Tlie finished products will 'all be distributed at Christmas, along with the toys and other gifts. Provision for Christmas dinner is made by the use of individual purchase vouchers to the family. _-aWhTie gifts of food are used to supplement some Christmas boxes, I would ask that perishable foods -not be .� donated," requested Heath, "as we have no facilities for storing such items until deliverie , are made in the week before Christ- mas."

Alan Hay, Executive • Director, Ontario Hospital Association, Toronto told 45 hospitaltrustees and Medi 'al staff representing their five`:neral hospitals -in Huron County, at 11a meeting in Seaforth last week.' "Through trustees the com- munity's needs can be pushed .in front of ' the government's nose," he said. "Communities must support their trustees and encourage them to work for what is needed," Mr., Hay ad- ded. Mr. Hay was one of four peakers at a tr't?s + . liii eri tation' "program meeting spon- sored by the Board' of the Seaforth Community Hospital And the Ontario Hospital Association' which invited' hospital board members ' from Clinton Public Hospital, Alexandra Marine and General Hospital at Goderich, South Huron Hospital at Exeter and Wingham and District Hospital, to share and discuss information on trusteeship. Mr. Hay said the idea belfind the meeting was "to. improve trusteeship by making • us all aware- of our responsibilities." 'Touching on the subject of District Health Councils which the Government is initiating Mr. Hay urged board members to get involved if one is started in the area. Speaking on the tight .money policy by government he ad- vised that hospital boards and doctors must get together to plan bed utilization stay -- "to improve the use of beds in hospital". Dr. J.D. Galloway, Executive Director, St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton, speaking on Patient Care -- Whose Responsibility, said: t- or the welfare and safety of patients, it is essential -that there be very close liaison between the governing body and the medical Staff. Each group ,must recognize the prerogatives of the other by ac- cepting fully its own respon- sibilities and understanding the other's problems," he said: "This can be accomplished s 4�.,onlay _ if :.sther =::as, -good -:,_corm , muni'cation,' ' .effective organization and the will to work together," he added. Dr: Galloway 'said", that it is encurnbent .upon the board to ensure that medical staff mem- bers be appointed to the board and that together with other oar . ,nem . ers tl`ieyt£end meetings of the board and discharge their duties as board members. Dr. Galloway" orfeluded `;It is importatt that the governing. body and the medical staff work in full co-operation. The medical staff should feel it has its rightful say,in the policies. of the ' hospital grid both trrttst work in close accord to ensure that the full resources and facilities of the hospital are elm. pldved optimally to ensure every patient receives the best of hospital care. The public has a rright to it and our collective responsibility nix to ensure they give it". Terrence Joyce, a Toronto ` lawyer; advised the trustees of some of their legal respon- sibilities and spoke on the laws affecting -hospitals. He warned them they must • make sure hospital by-laws are up-to-date according to the Public Hospitals Act of• Ontario. • Miss Margaret M. Murray, Assistant to the Director, Educational Services . Division, Ontario Hospital Association, spoke on the continuing educational programs for hospita.k personnel sponsored by her Association. She said, 'Education has µ'A -alw 'K- printazty4purpom7L. of the Ontario' Hospital Association." She spoke of the increasing number of people flocking to ' continuing educational programs to keep up to date on developments in their, field as well as to broaden their horizens. She explained that they do not offer basic educational programa- which prepare students for a career, but rather offer programs on one, two or• three day courses.
