EDITORIAL GETS ACTION Last week's Journal editorial dealing with the grounds of Oak- ville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospit- al moved the hospital's board of governors to action at Thursday evening's meeting. It was secre- tary Jack Milne, who drew the editorial to the board's attention. "The complaint is that the grounds look messy, and I agree," said Mr. Milne. "The weeds are high and getting higher every vear." The editorial suggested that the board of governors turn the land over to the board of parks management on temporary basis, and that the latter board could put it in shape and maintain it. The board agreed to this sug- gestion despite J. M. Dunwoody's objection that if the public were allowed to use the grounds as a park they would develop an "ownership psychology." Deputy- Reeve E. R. Lauder, town coun- cil's representative on the board, was delegated 'to approach the parks board with the proposal.

The matter was brought up by the chairman when the board ex- amined architect's the proposed new ity ward. There also be room for mine bassinettes. Cost of the addition was estimated at $37,184, of which sum $18,000 would be recoverable from the provincial government. "We medical and surgical beds," Dr. E. P. Soanes, chief of staff, pointed out.

"The nursing situation is grim," he de- clared. "With new hospitals star- ting up and large hospitals ex- panding, graduate murses are be- ing snapped up. It's not a local problem, it's fairly «general. Ross Blaikie suggested that lo- cal housewives who were former- ly nurses be asked to help out. J. M. Dunwoody informed the board that two D. P. nurses were now on the hospital staff. He suggested 'that the government be asked to expedite immigrafion proceedings in order that more nurses might be made available. Mr. Stevens will carry out this suggestion, and will also place advertisements in northern On- tario newspapers with a view to obtaining nurses from that part of the province. comes bed matern- need more drawings of |S: of the mensgament 86.79% occu- of April The report committee showed pancy for the month and a net surplus of $870.2 which -brought the total surplus for the first four months of the year to §: .93.
