actually means en operating profit when var-
ious grants are included.
It might be noted that Alexandra Hospi-
tal, Goderieh, had an operating deficit of
$3,135 in 1950.
Dr. W. A. Oakes, who was re-elected
chairman of the Hospital Board for bis fifth
year, paid, high tribute to the staff of the
Hospital, end also to the Hospital Auxiliary,
consisting of more than 350 lady members in
the community. The latter group has made
a particularly valuable contribution during
the past few years, spending $1,405 in 1950.
The work of the ladies was greatly appreciat-
ed, the chairman said.
Providing adequate nursing staff contin-
ues to be the bugbear of the Hospital Board,
it would seem, and there does not seem to
be a ready-made solution to this problem.
THE RESIDENTS of Olinton 'and district
have reason to be groud of their fine hospital—
Clinton Public Hospital, as it is generally
known.
The hospital often hills a need which' is
known only in a time of emergency, but on
that account, may be better appreciated. The
hospital provides a service to the community
that often is taken for granted, but that
feeling should not exist. We should be most
hankful for the service it provides to the
entire community.
