SCOTT MEMORIAL HOSPI-
TAL ANNOUNCES,CHANGES,
Neighboring Townships To se Rep-
resented on Hospital Board
At a•vecent meeting of the Board'
of Directors of Scott Memorial Hos-
pital, steps were. taken to reorganize
.the method of governing the Hospital
affairs in accordance with the provi-
sions of new by-laws suggested by the
Ontario Department of Health and
proposed to be enacted by the Board.
:Under the new system, the surround-
ing Townships of Tueltersmith, Me=
Kiliop, Hullett and Hibbert, which
are all served by the Hospital, will be
represented on the Board. In order to
put such a system in operation, the
Councils of these municipalities are
now each being requested to appoint
a resident of the township to sit on
the Board. A permanent •system of.
a.ppohning such representatives will
be announced at a later date. The
town of Seaforth is not being asked
to name a. -re -presentative at this time
as two members of the Town Council
are now hospital directors: It is to be
hoped that the system beiug inaugur-
ated will serve tete desired purpose of
stimulating.- interest in hospital' af-
fairs throughout the district.
