TW!JRSDAY, .YAN'. I9tiI, 1050 T~ CANADIAN STATESMAN. EOWMAKV!LLE. ONTAMO PAGE ELEVEI< Hospital Loss SIightIy Reduced Durîng 1955; Move Revenue Received The Memorial Hospital, Bow- manville, operated at a deficit again during 1955, it was re- ported at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors held lst Thursday night, but the cieficit was slightly smaller than the previous year. Net loss last year was $19,- 069-S43 less than the los of S19,112 during 1954. Operating loss wvas $17.153, or $1.26 pet patient-day. C-perating revenue was Up $ 14,876 for the year, but oper- ating expenses also rose by $15,280 ta cancel out the in- creased incarne. Chie! inerease in cost was wages, which rose by $12.766 in 1955 over th? arnount paid in 1954. A total of $129,493 was paid out in ,wages and salaries, which gives the Memorial Hospital one of thie largest payrolls in theý tow.,n. Total operatingc revenue of the hospital was $174,704 de- rived from rooms, and services tuch as operating room, deliv- ery room, laboratory, dispen- sa1ry and X-ray. Another $11,- 42:3 was received !rom provin- Ci grants and grants from Po w ma n v 11e, Darlington, Clarke and Newcastle. Interest, profit from the cafeteria, and $2,039 in donations brought maonies received from other thanpi operation sources up to $1 8,489. Total receipts were thus $193.193 and total expenses, in- cludîng depreciation, were $229,416. Chairman Speaks Chairman Harry Crydermnan welcomed the 17 persons pres- ent et the meeting held in the Town Hall Council Chamber. He stated that while the Mem- crial Hospital again showed a deficit, this is almost entirely accoutnted for by the cost o! in- dligent patiefits for whom the government pays only a frac- tion o! what it actuallY costs the hospital ta care for tbem. He paid tribute ta the excel- lent work performed by the hospital staff under Superin- tendent Miss Irene Shaw, Reg. N., during 1955, "'There is an excellent spirit of c-oiperation and harmony at the hospital and I feel that this probably stems right !romn the top", he declaretd. He alsa thanked the members of the Womnen's Aux- Jliary for their very generous assistance during the past year. "We couldn't get by without TI1CK9E T8 TO EVERYWHERE jAir, Rail or SteamshlP 3owmanvllle îp K.ing St. W.

Mr. Cryderman also cam- mended the members o! the *Board for the fine way thtýy had carried out their duties during the year, and thanked The Canadian Statunman for ftise good news coverage hospi- tai activities had received. Finance Chairman George *Hacking gave a resumne o! tise financial report for 1955 and tisis was given in full by Se- cretary-Treasurer Ray J. Diii- ing later in tise meeting. Mr. Hacking painted out that thse $14,000 spent an equipment had corne from special grants 1 or this purpose and that thse iprovincial government isad supplied $ 10,500 o! this arnount. f"The hospital is still operating irn the red, but not too serious- ly', ise said. New Equipment Bought Director Joe O'Neýîll report- ed for Property Chairman Sid- ney Little that considerable new equipment had been pur- chased during the year, with thse most important items be- ing a new diagnostic X-ray un- it, an oxygen tent, nurses' uni- form press, a croupette and compresson, and new furniture sucis as bedside tables, beds, lamps, chairs etc., for five of the isospital rooms. The fîre chie! and deputy chie! bad inspected the isospi- tai, he said, and been generous in tiseir praisé o! the safe way the hospital is run and tise fire-fighting protection afford- ed. A new source o! supply for coal isad been obtained during 1955 and he feit the bospital would save $400 this year as a resuit. Some troub e as been ex- perîenced wif ramn seeping, tisrougi tise bricks at the eastt end o! the hospital during ex- treme starns, Mn. O'Neill stat- cd, but tisis can be overcorne by ~app4lyi a new sealing cot owever, a new roof or extensive repairs are needed for the roof o! thse nurses resi- dence. Chairman Cryderman brought ta the attentit)n o! tise meeting that an addition will have to be made at the east end o! thse isospital. "It may take thnee or four years before the addition can be built, but we sisould be- gin ta make aur plans now", 4e declared. Mr. O'Neill pointed out that wben the hospital was erected thse possibility o! future expan- sion was kept in mind. Thse boilen, kitchen, laundry ani othen services were ahl made large enougis to provide for an addition o! 100 feet at the eas-t end a! the hospital. He stated that the pipes and electrical conduits at the east end were ail made witb dead ends s0 these services could be extend- ed ta an addition. With the bas- pital operatinget capacity now, an addition is inevitable in the next few years, he said. Several Lots Sold As chairman a! the commit- tee in charge o! selling tise building lots belonging ta the hospital, Mr. O'Neill %reported that one had been sold for $700 only that week, and there are two left which will probably be sold before too long. Money obtained fromn the sale o! lots isad been applied against an overdraft at the bank about two montbs ago, he pointed out. Mr. O'Neill repoêted that the nèw walk-in refigerators with freezing coxpartments had ne- sulted in an appreciable saving on food costs. 'We are savîng rnoney on food that otherwise would be wasted, and also making savings that we had not foreseen", he declared. Mrs. T. Wesley Cawken, Re- tiring President o! tise Wom- en's Auxiliary of Memorial rHospital, gave a very fine re- port which appeared in last week's issue of Tise Canadian Statesman. Thsis listed thse PL UMBING MA 3-5615 Division 'N given away with the purchase of or maore o! gasoline VIGOR STANDARD GASOLINE VIGOR HIGH TEST GASOLINE 380 large sums of money ralsed for hospital purposes by the Aux- iliary and the many Items made or purchased for the ini- stitution. She paid tribute ta the valuable assistance receiv- ed by the #iuxiliary fromn la- dies' groupa in surrounding communities such as Newcas- tle and Orona. Operations of the Tuck Shop at the bospital had netted $492, she said. She thanked the hospital staff for their very fine co-operation during the year and also the members o! the Board o! Di- rectors and thse medical staff for their assistance. Publicity Chairman Ivan Hobbs reported that there bad been no seriaus prablems ini dealing with either the staff or hospital patients during the passt year. He feIt that the ac- creditation system now being used in sorne 2,000 hospitals in thse United States would be very valuable at the Memronal Hospital and consideration should be given ta setting it Up. This system, whîch is recom- mended by the American and Canadian Medîcal Associations and American bospital organi- zations, consists o! keeping re- cords giving full information on each patient and improves patient care. If it were estab- lished at the local hospital, he said, it would probably mean thse hiring o! a librarian ta keep the many records needed. Mr. Hobbs felt that a meeting should be held between the Board and ise bospital medi- cal staff with a view o! setting Up the systern. Chairman Harry Cryderman agreed with this view and felt that in thse future thse Ontario Departrnent o! Healtis would probably insist that thse accre- didation system be set up in al] hospitals.

Toombs of Camp- belîford was re-elected presi- dent of the Peterborough Pres- byterial Women's Missionary Society at the annual meeting held in St. Paul's Presbyterian church, Peterborough, on Jan, llth. About 70 delegates from the district and city Presbyterian churches registered for his 451h annual meeting. Mrs. C. G. Boyd welcomed the representatives. Devotions were in charge of the Cobourg Evening Auxiliary. Mrs. J. W. Burtt of Cobourg participated and Mrs. R. Skillen gave the dedicatory prayer. Annual re- ports, financial statement and minutes xvere presented by the various delegates. Highlight of the afternoon session was the discussion pe.- iod led by Miss Ruby Walker, regional secretary; Mrs. W- liam McEachern, synodical re- presentative; Mrs. D. T. Dip- lock and Mrs. Toombs. Mrs, McEachern, formier pre-1 sident of the Barrie P resbyter- lal, talked about each membr' responsibility in termis ni Christian stewardship and its phases-money, time and abil- ities. Abolish Allocations She said the present systemn o! allocation has been abolish- ed. Although allocations are a hardship to some groups, in the majority of cases allocations are just limitations. She stress- ed the fact that giving for mis- sionary work will have ta be increased if Presbyterian church is to expand its facili- ities and send more workers into mission fields in Formosa, Japan and Africa. The present giving by no means represents the potential of our members, she said. In 1955 the society's estimate wvas $257,000, and the 1955 couneil approved an estimate of $304,- 000 for 1956. It's up ta each member to determine her res- ponsibility. Rev. A. E. Tombs installed the new executive aftcr thec nominating committee's report wsrea. Threy a ~re: hoorar president, Mrs. D.
