ANNUAL MEETING OF HEALTH ASSOCIATION Dean J. ©. Connell and the Other Officers 'Were All Re-Elected. At the annual meeting of the Kingstoh Health Association, held in the Board of Trade room on Wed- nesday afternoon, Dr. J. C. Connell was re-elected president of that body for the ensuing year. The other of- ficers were re-eletted, Dr. Co 1, when rising to speak, with reference to the activities of the year, sald that things were very sat- istactory at the hospital, and he wished to thank the members for the support they had given them, and especially Mr. J. M. Campbell for the manner ih which he had got behind the work and thus helped things along. He moved that Mr. Campbell be president for the ensu- ing year. Mr. Campbell wished Dr. Connell would carry on as he was certain the position should be held by a medical man; he would only be too witiing to assist as he had in the past. Mr. Campbell then moved that Dr. Connell be the president and all the other officers and execu- tive be re-elected. When the mo- tion was put, it unanimously car- ried. Dr. Connell thanked the members for the confidence they had placed in him, but stated that he thought he should not continue in that office, as he had too many du- ties at present, and could not give it the time it should have. The members assured him of their hear- ty support, and he accepted the po- sition, much to the gratification of all. The other officers are: Vice-president, J. M. Campbell. Secretary, Dr. Bruce Hopkins. Treasurer, Philip Du Moulin, Auditor, R. Easton Burns. Solicitor, J. M. Farrell, Executive committee, consists of the officers, Dr. W. T. Connell, Dr. Bdward Ryan and J. G. Elliott. Superintendent's Report, Dr. Bruce Hopkins, superintend- ent of Mowat Sanatorium, gave a short report and sald in part: "On August 1st, 1924, we had 97 D.8.C.R. patients and 4 givillans on our nominal roll. During the month of August, we admitted 14 DS.C.R. patients and § civilians. During the same time we discharged 6 ex-sol- dier patients and 3 civilians. Dur- ing the month of September, 10 ex- soldiers and 6 civilians were ad- mitted, and 14 ex-soldiers and 3 ci- vilians were discharged. To sum- marize our first two months of op- eration. We commenced with 101 patients, admitted 35 and discharg- ll ed 26, leaving us with 110 patients, Oct. 1st. It is interesting to note that the civilian patients increased by 7. The highest number of elvili- ans taken care of in Mowat during the D.8.C.R. regime, was 4. "It one analyzes the discharged cases, we find the following: Twenty- On classified as moderately admission they were follows: Incipient, 3; fl advanced, 4; far advanced, 7; sus- pect, 1; bronchiectasis, 3; lupus and genito-urinary tuberculosis, 1; pro- gressive muscular atrophy, 1; bron- chitls, 1. On discharge the definite tuberculosis cases Quiescent, 4; improved, 1; appar- ently arrested, 7; progressive, 2, ot the non-tuberculous cases the sus- pect was proved nonstuberculous, of the three bronchiectasis cases, one died and two were discharged im- proved. The case of lpm and geni- to-urinary tuberculosis was discharg- | ell improved. The case of progres- sive muscular atrophy died, and the case of bronchitis was discharged improved. ye --€e- PR . "The condition of the SanAtoTigay at the presént time, may be consider ed -quite satisfactory. ' There are, however, several recommaéndations which 1 wish to plage before ~ the Board, for their serious considera- tion. ; : "first, our X-ray plant, which at present is being operated from our own generator in the power house, is not at all satisfactory. The gen- erator is worn out and will not de- velop sufficient current to operate Coolidge tubes, or to allow of X-ray t of To over- ultimate object fi b. R. pAtients by were classified: || at suffering from tuberculosis needs all the encouragement he can get: Any little comforts it ig possible to give him are greatly appreciated and the more homelike and congenial the sanatorium can be made, the more happy and contented is Tie patient. His surroundings react fa- vorably or unfavorably on him, ac- cording to thé condition of those gurroundipgs. 1 am a strong believ- er in making the sanatorium as homelike as is possible, providing it does not impair the efficiency of the institution. I would, therefore, like to recommend that authority be granted to secure pictures, curtains, ete., in an endeavor to brighten up some of the dark spots that at pre- sent -exist in our own institution. . Nursing Changes. "One of t most important changes in the re-organization of our staff has been the nursing ser- vice established with Hotel Dieu and General Hospital. Prior to the turn-over, we hada nursing staff consisting of a matron and eight graduate nurses. Four graduate nurses have been discharged, and in their places we have two under- graduate nurses from each hospitsl. It is hoped td be able to discharge anotler graduate nurse and replace her two under-graduate/ nurses trom Rockwood hospital. These un- dergraduates stay with us one to two months and go are given an ap- portunity to learn something about tuberculous patients. The change is expected to Improve, not only our own nursing service, but also the standard of the nurses gradu- ating from the various hospitals, "In order to allow the public and the profession to become better ac- quainted with the sanatorium, an active publicity campalgn is recom- mended. This, I think, should be undertaken both through the, press and by circular Jetter. "In closing, I wish to thank the Board and espegially Dr. Connell and Mr. Campbell, for their untiring efforts on our behalf. Without the services of our present Board, it would have been quite impossible t take over Mowat, With them w are making the sanatorium' a suc- cessful, and I sincerely trust, s per- manent institution." cs The report of the superintendent will be dealt with by the executive committee, The following were present at the meeting: Dr. J. C. Connell, H. C Nickle, J. G, Elliott, L. A. Guild, James Halliday, T. A. Kidd, Dr. W. W. Gibson, Miss BE. Hunter, William Anderson, J. M. Farrell, A. H. Fair, Hugh MecBratney, J. M. Campbell and Dr. Bruce Hopkins. The association in regular session considered various internal mat- ters. The year's coal is stored, the new drain is being rapidly construct- ed, the heating and water supply have been separated, new electric pumps will be installed and this will give both heat and 'water . to a parts of the grounds. ' Later - the nurses' residence will be supplied with heat from the. maind. The re- venues of the institution are ade- quate to meet the expenditures it was felt that the association must watch the costs of indigent patients and see that the municipalities from which they come meet the obliga- tions imposed under the statutes.

In our two villages of Stan- stead and Rock Island many men who had been drinking all their earnings and leaving their families to beg, completely changed and" soon had comfortable and happy homes. This, change was, perhaps, more noticeable to the public in the chil- dren of school age who attended school more regularly, were better nourished and clothed and were in every way much more efficient. About five years ago the Quebec Liguor Act (a system of government control) was passed. We remained under local option, however, until less than. a year ago. when one of our villages voted by & small ma- jority of six to repeal the Canada Temperange Act. Now we have Jicénse.

Sidney Sproule, hotel keeper at Odessa, suffered a dislocated should- er on Tuesday evening about eight v'clock when an automobile in which he was driving went into the ditch about two miles on the other side of Kingston Mille. ' Mr. Sproule and four other men had been at West- port attending the races and were returfiing home. The car in which they wene riding was owned and driven by William Frink. When they were nearing Kingston Mills, they noticed an automobile coming from the opposite directiom and only one light was burning. As the result of the current all going into the one light it dazzled Mr. Frink, and with- out warning his euto left the road and tumbled into the ditch. Mr. was the only person hurt The automobile, which was the tause of the accident, did not stop. Mr. Sproule was brought to the General Hospital where his injury was attended to.
