Bert Hanson, administrator of the hospital, located at Woodstock, said equipment needs were evaluated by the hospital and medical staffs with recommendations for­ warded to the finance com­ mittee for deliberation. "We are appreciative of this response to our needs as shown by the auxiliary," said Hanson. "Cost for the four pieces of equipment to be ordered will exceed $12,000. "Some of the new equipment will replace outmoded units, while others will enhance the quality of patient care." Included is an Ohio-type anesthesia machine with the latest safety features, valued at $3,222 and an electronic monitor for the anesthesiologist to monitor of the heartbeats of patients in the operating room. This is valued at $1,695. Also to be ordered is a Bennett Model MA-1 volume ventilator valued at $4,712 and a K-Temp Hypo-hypothermia unit which is used to regulate body temperature of a patient -- primarily children and those persons with upper respiratory problems. It is valued at $2,530. The Bennett MA-1 is used to help those patients who have difficulty breathing, especially persons whose chests have been crushed. Mrs. Robert Emery, president of the Woman's auxiliary, notified Hanson of the auxiliary's desire to help buy needed equipment in early November, and action to meet most urgent needs has followed. In addition, Hanson said the auxiliary is paying $720 toward physical therapy equipment. This will be purchased from memorials given the auxiliary in memory of someone who has died.

Meeting Of \ea'r' The monthly meeting of La Leche League will be Wed­ nesday, Jan 8, at 8 p.m. The discussion will focus on the advantages of nursing Breastfeeding is a simple, normal function -- a natural system of supply and demand that serves both mother and baby, members say Mothers through the ages have happily nursed their babies. Breast­ feeding has not become com­ plicated, but there is a great deal.of misunderstanding about this womanly art . It was to offer information and en­ couragement to the nursing mother that La Leche League came, into being. The League provides books and other printed materials to give mothers knowledge and con­ fidence as they breastfeed their babies. They answer questions, dispel old wives' tales, support the mother if she faces criticism, and bring her into contact with other nursing mothers. The McHenry La Leche League group meets the second Wednesday of every month. Along with the advantages of nursing, other topics such as overcoming breastfeeding difficulties, childbirth, and nutrit ion and weaning are discussed at meetings. Members say pregnant women CHERI MAY is now available for late evening appointments on Thursday and Friday evenings. Also all day on Saturday. Cheri is an experienced hairdresser and has formerly worked at the Beauty Bazaar.
