2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 22, 1988 Somewhat refreshing It was somewhat refreshing to read the annual reports of the various departments of the Memorial, Hospital Corporation Corporation following their annual meeting last Wednesday. Especially so was the financial position of the hospital taking into account all the negative articles that have been coming by the daily press as to the position of hospitals financially in the province of Ontario. Not so the case with Memorial who have in fact balanced their budget for the '87-'88 year, give or take a few dollars. .The financial report did make note of provincial financial financial restraints but, to our delight, there was no whining or whimpering. It would appear they are prepared t face the challenge to provide top health care under the restraint conditions. conditions. In speaking with R. E. Elston, prior to the meeting, he stated that they recognized that there has to be change and are willing to play their part and accept the challenge. There was no great criticism of the province in trying to bring health care under financial control. It just might be that the restraints might well be the mother of new and better approaches to health care and under the atmosphere taken at Memorial we may witness some of these locally. We would suspect that, the hospital budget of $9 million plus is comparable to the Town of Newcastle operation. operation. But in making any comparison the revnue is much more restricted for hospitals than for municipalities. Increase in revenue is tied closely with inflation for hospitals. On the othef hand the Town in 1988 has increased their revenue upwards upwards of eighteen percent due to their mill rate increase and their increase in assessment. The same is true for the Region and the local school board, although at other rates of in- cfease. Hospitals really cannot go to the taxpayer for more funds and so their budgeting has to be more restrictive than those for municipalities and school boards. From what we hear on the street yesterday and today perhaps it is too bad that the municipality and the school board is not under similar restriants as to revenue, those tied to inflation. Don't forget the final tax bill and has gone out with a few days to pay the third instalment. As we said in the opening paragraph it was refreshing to hear positive attitude to what has been stated a harrassing situation. ' Happenings . . .

Dr. Donald MacDonald who was general secretary of the Presbyterian Church of Canada and now at 71 is pastoral assistant in St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Lindsay, tells us that when his ancestors came from Scotland to Canada in 1773 there was a .stowaway on board the sailing ship. The captain was all for throwing him overboard until they learned he could play the pipes. It took three months to cross the Atlantic because of contrary winds and the pipes helped and were valuable in bolstering the moral of the crew and passengers alike. They landed in Picton Harbor in Nova Scotia and were met by a band of Micmac Indians Indians on the shore.
