Speaking before a record throng-Martinetti's was filled to overflowing with more than 450 members and guests-Byers said: "By every standard 197: has been a very good year for the hospital and we are op­ timistic that 1973 will indeed be another vintage year."

"The work of these com- ruittees-a continuing process month in and month out, time consuming and not very glamorous - is the backbone of your hospital's governing board," he praised. He saluted three outgoing members ineligible for reelection because they have served the maximum number of years permitted by the by­ laws-Harold Beth, Ralph Nichols, and Gordon Thurow-- and Hartley Laycock, a board member who has decided not to stand for reelection because of the press of other activities. One reason for the record crowd is that membership in the association is over 800, well above last year's hitherto all- time high of 730! Elected to the board are Kenneth Schuh, Ludwig Kulovsek, George Frejd and Joe Sullivan. Schuh is a past president of the board, serving in that capacity three years before Byers' present term.

So if you have to bring your car back for service that should have been done right the first time, you're not only in­ convenienced, but also, chances are you're going to resent it. "Well, we know if you're not satisfied with our service, you may not come back at all. And we want you as a satisfied customer. "So look. We're going to do our level best to see that you don't have to come back. "Unless you want to." We don't want you back because the job was done wrong. We want you back because the job was done right PAYTON CARS - TRUCKS 385-2100 HWY. 31 SOUTH" McHENRY tHEVR0LET WORK ON YMCA POOL - Construction men are pictured working on the pool deck of the Lake Region YMCA's new building.

Ruggero, chief of the medical staff, in his farewell report, reported the addition of three staff physicians and a full-time pathologist to the medical staff. "The additions will greatly enhance our pediatric capabilities at Memorial hospital," he said. "We have intensified our in- service program for medical staff members, in the form of clinical pathological con­ ferences, medical reviews, and intensive care reviews," he said. Biggest concern of the medical staff is the out-patient and emergency room care, and he said this is a weakness shared by almost all other hospitals in the country. He revealed the hospital board and a committee of the medical staff is seeking to solve this complex problem with some major steps he hopes will be finalized in early 1973. Following the annual meeting, board members met and reelected Byers as president; Richard Zieman, first vice-president; and William I. Caldwell, Jr., secretary.
