District Doings " STOUFFVILLE VOTES TO HAVE SEWAGE SYSTEM Ratepayers gave an overwhelming majority to the installation of a sew- erage system, in a public vote in Stouffville.on Monday. Three hundred and fourteen ratepayers cast ballots in favor of the installation while only eighty-five voted "no". The vote by poll was as follows: : ) For Against South "side 169 42 i North side - 166 b3 Approximately 50 percent. -of the possible vote went to the polfs, "the number predicted in many cirdles. The mandate gives council full sup- port in proceeding with the installa- tion of a sewerage system, providing the Municipal Board approves. Plans are to proceed immediately with that section of main line sewer "to be laid in conjunction with the new highway pavement to be put down this. summer from Church St. east. This section of highway is to be widen- ed five feet and the sewer pipe will be laid by the, same contractor who is the successful bidder with the High- ways Dept, for the roadway and storm sewer pipe. Just how far council will proceed at the present time may de- pend on the Highway Dept. plans for "the remainder of the Main St. road- way, since laying the sewer pipe at the same time as the road job is done means congiderable saving.

But the bulk of criticism of any public hospital oper- ating in Ontario today is completely unwarranted and undeserved, usually coming from a lack of knowledge of all the facts. : All of which brings us to the topic of "hospital public relations", Public relations,-or "P.

An example may be the of a toved one. cern, As everyone knows, things can, and do go wrong at the office, at home or with the family car, especially with the latter if that family has teen-aged children. But ordinavily the average Canadian family take these incidents in their stride and forget them. Yet, when a member of the family goes to hospital, it is a topic. of much conver- sation among relatives. and friends. Consequently, any unfavourable com: ments- or criticisms of the hospital spread like wildfire throughout the entire community. ' It is only to be expected that ocea- sions will arise in any hospital when something might not be done as well, or as promptly, as the patient or some of his relatives may desire or expect. Actually, when one considers the great variety of services hospitals must render and the number of in- dividuals involved, the marvel is that occasions for legitimate criticism oc- cur so rarely. The large number of individuals involved includes doctors, nurses, dietitians," maids, orderlies, switchboard operators and so on--all of whom are only human and, there- fore, capable. of making mistakes or of misunderstanding an order." But it is to prevent human errors and mis- interpretation of orders that hospitals have set up rigid rules, regulations and standard procedures which go far when physicaly sick (and our closere- well, im } Frequently nurses have to carry out orders of the doctor which are not known, or 'have not been explained, to "shooing out" of visitors, which result in a complaint from the patient, Some patients may complain that they are unable to sleep because of the snoring of a neighbour, yet the "snorer" will complain that he never slept a wink all night and he'll berate the nurse for charting that he "slept fairly well", To-day, in keeping with the modern trend, hospitals are doing everything in the power to build and retain good relations with all of their "publics". Better working conditions and «more benefits are being provided for the staff, Detailed information about the hospital and the reasons for its regula- tions are being given to patients. Longer visiting hours, later breakfasts and a chigice of meals are now being given to patients. Better furnishings, radios, hospitality shops and even hair- dressing salons are other yecent inno- vations which hospitals have intro- duced, all of which improve public re- lations, .
