Fitzgibbons, C.B.E., chairman of the hospital‘s Adviâ€" sory Board, made the arnounceâ€" ment, stating: "St. Michael‘s Hosâ€" pital Fund is doubly fortunate in obtaining the leadership of Mr. McDougald: first, because of his wellâ€"known organizationâ€" al wizardry, and, secondly, beâ€" cause of his deep personal interâ€" est in the hospital. His father, the late Duncan J. McDougald, was chairman of St. Michael‘s Advisory Board for a number of years."

"Until now, this great hospiâ€" tal, which serves 175,000 patients a year, has never appealed for general public support. Ever since the end of World War II, an appeal would have been warâ€" ranted, but it has been postâ€" poned repeatedly to avoid conâ€" flict with the campaigns of other hospitals. An appeal is now imâ€" perative, and can no longer be postponed." Mr. McDougald revealed that an extensive programme of moâ€" dernization has been in progress at St. Michael‘s Hospital since 1945. Improvements have inâ€" cluded additional patient acâ€" commodations, new nurses‘ resiâ€" dence, rehabilitation of the outâ€" patient department and part of the nursery, new laboratories, new power house, six additional operating rooms and complete reconstruction of the accidentâ€" emergency department.

The growth and popularity of the bank in this area, which opened its first branch at Wilâ€" son and Jane in 1952 under the management of Alan G.

When the bank first came here, staff numbered four, but has been increased to a present staff of nine. Mr. House will continue as manager of the new driveâ€"in.
