Clinton hospital will celebrate Canada Health Day May 12 is an important day for Canadian hospitals. The pioneering English nurse, Florence Nightingale, was born on that date in 1820 and it is traditionally chosen as the date for Canada Health Day. That's the day on which attention is focussed on health care and the people .who work and volunteer in hospitals. Hospitals, of course, have changed beyond comparison since the days when Florence Nightingale ministered to the sick. and wounded_ soldiers in the Crimean War. We now have antibiotics, safe blood transfusions, vaccines ,and other life-saving treatments and preventive . health measures. Doctors and scientists can suc- cessfully perform ° organ transplants and replace missing limbs with life -like mechanical • devices. Canada Health Day reminds us of the tremendous, and con- stantly changing, advances made in medical and hospital care over the past decades. The national program for Canada Health Day is co-ordinated. by the Canadian Hospital Association in Ottawa and co- sponsored by the Canada Public Health Association. This year's theme is "Behind the Scenes in ' Health Care", and many. hospitals .across Canada will be opening their doors to the public to show what goes on i, those areas not'normally frequented by patients and visitors. The Clinton Public Hospital will celebrate Canada Health Day with an "Open House", featuring hospital tours: Tours and refreshments will be served between 2 and 4 p.m. system Ip . �-^ sprung ern ' at � d ofI dO �fran the a Region It la ' 1,. raised over half a million dollars.

Blood donor contributions are vital to the lives of thousands of area people The role that blood donors play is vital to the lives of many. People who give blood through the Red Cross sponsored clinics save thousands of lives. On May 16 at Central Huron Secondary School in Ciinton,`the London Red Cross unit at the Clinton Kinettes will be sponsoring a blood donor clinic. More than 20 people, in- cluding Red Cross medical professionals and local volunteers will work at the clinic. The operation of the clinic though, is only . a small step in the total work done by the .Red Cross- Jury noted, `The need hasn't gone away. -- In medicine, blood is more than a single In the Clinton area the Red Cross bias -an active donor list of 380.

A blood supply shortage can mean a life or death situation. In an unexpected emergen- cy, blood is collected from area hospitals to fill the need. Donor appeals are also made on the local airwaves and television. Mr. Jury noted, "It can get grim and we hope for stabilization. Sometimes it becomes an all night job with the hospitals." The unfortunate victims in tiine of blood shortage are the patients and their families. They must wait and hope that the trarisfusion supply can be filled "The demand never stops," Mr. Jury add- ed. "You can't prevent people from having accidents or holding off on ulcer problems." Blood donor clinicsare held to fill the. need.
