Following are some pertinent .‘M'Carpts from a pamphlet pub- lished by the Ontario Medical As- sociation to assist two people â€" you and your doctor. Hospital Work You should have a family doc- tor who will visit you at home when your condition is such that you cannot go to the office. If you think the doctor needs to visit you at home, call as early in the day as possible so the doc- tor can arrange all his house calls to the best advantage 'for all his patients. As mentioned before, it is often difficult to leave the hos- pital. There are also times of the day when traffic conditions make it almost [impossible to make house calls. . When you ask your doctor to make a house call, make sure you give your correct address, as you may have moved since his last call. At night, turn on the porch light or in the country, put on the yard light. .. .. u-u , , , n , The doctor sees the majority of his patients in the office. Some have regular office hours and some work by appointment. The doctor likes to see patients in his office because here he has the privacy, I the proper examining table, good light and the neces- sary instruments and facilities to do a better examination. Here too, if you have seen the doctor previously, he has your complete record. This will enable him to better judge your progress and your present requirements. So please remember that when you call your doctor and are told he is {at the hospital, he. may not be able to leave what he is doing and go to See you. If you cannot wait for him, his office will do everything possible to assist you to get another doctor. They will either send someone else or give you the number of the emergency call service. Office Calls If your doctor sees his patients by appointment try and be on time for yours. If you know you cannot keep it, telephone so that someone else may be seen in your place. If you wish to take another member of the family at the same time, tell the doctor so he can Illow extra time for your appoint- ment. House Calls ' Vv’i‘fiese’ are the calls which create the most difficulty between you Nearly every doctor is on the staff of his community hospital. Here he treats his more seriously 111 patients. Here the operations we performed, the babies brought Into the world, the broken bones are set, the severe lacerations su- tured, the transfusions given and the difficult medical diagnosis made or confirmed.

The family becomes used? to the telephone that never seems‘ to stop ringing; to the footsteps on the stairs at night; to the sound of the car in the driveway; ito the cancelled trips and picnics :because ‘Mrs. B.’ is expecting. {These things the doctor and his ’family expect as part of their life but the call at mealtime that could be made during office hours; the call at night for apa- ,ti<=nt ill 3 days; and the call on ISunday for the convenience of \"iziting relatives â€"- these are the calls that. the physician‘s family ,feel take the doctor away when he should be with them. Every doctor subscribes to a number of medical journals. This is just another way of keeping abreast of what is going on in medical practice in all countries of the world. For there is no pa- tent on medical discoveries.- They are shared freely with every doc~ to: so that every patient may ben- e it. When he is away he will have another doctor look after his work so you will not be left with- out medical attention. and your doctor. When some- thing unusual happens, you na- turally tend to get upset. Here again is the advantage of having a family doctor whom you can call for advice. If, however, you find yourself away from home, look in the yellow pages .of the telephone book for ‘Doctors’ Emergency Call Service.’ In some communities it is in the front of the book. If there is no such list- ing, the local hospital will likely be able to assist you. The Never-Ending Search Sometimes you may have a com dition that is unusual and your doctor will ask the privilege of bringing in another doctor as a consultant. This too is part of the never ending search for knowl- edge that will assure you of the best of medical service. Community Activities Doctors are the same as all men in the community. They feel a sense of pride and duty toward their place of work and residence. They are active in welfare work. outpatient clinics, service clubs and community projects in gener- al. They are active in teaching classes of nurses, interns and technicians. They are repeatedly instructing First Aid classes and speaking to their service clubs. This is added to their already- long work day for the betterment of everyone in their city, town or rural district. , - Rest Is Good for All of Us Your doctor, like yourself, re- quires rest. Unlike you, he may not be able to get it each night; if he doesn’t then sooner or later he must get completely away from his practice for a few days. As he gets older he requires longer and more frequent rest periods. You can help your doctor by not calling him at night, except in an emergency, and not calling him on Sundays and holidays ex- cept in unusual circumstances. Time With His Family The flower girls, Lynn McAl- pine and Leslie Anderson, nieces of the groom, wore dresses of Miss Patricia Smith of Unionâ€" ville was maid of honour and the bridesmaids were Mrs. Nell Rise- brough of Toronto and Miss Jan- et Hope of Stoufifvllle, cousin of the bride.

They carried white fur muffs with blended pink car- nations. organza petals and penis and she carried a cascade bouquet of white hyacinths and pink chiffon roses. Planting'time for Gloxinias is from early February until May, and it takes about four months for them to flower. Start bulbs in a mixture of peat and sand in a flat or other container that can be kept shaded and warm (70”) until the first leaves appear. Then transplant to 5" pots which should contain a basic layer of charcoal and be filled with a mixture of equal parts sand, peat and leaf mold. Gloxinias like light while growing and should be placed on éfivriblue); Emp'eror- William (vioâ€" let with white border) and Minuel (qutted). a south or east window sill. Being natives of Brazil Gloxinias must be kept warm at all times and need abundant moisture. ‘Keep water off foliage when wat- ering and add water until it runs freely through the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. Then do not water again until the sur- face starts to dry out. Give each plant a feeding with a good grade commercial fertilizer every 3 or 4 weeks.

Closely competing with the Af- rican Violet, as a favourite house- plant, the Gloxinia produces beautiful and brilliant flowers of- ten measuring 5 inches in dia- meter. These bell-shaped blos- soms range in color from delicate pink to deep red â€" from pure white to dark purple. The leaves may be extremely hairy or al- most smooth and are larger than the African Violet leaves, pro- viding an effective screen for un- attractive clay pots.

The January meeting of Velloxje Sr. Women’s Institute was held at Vellore‘ Memorial Hall. The answer to the roll call gave varied suggestions for Do’s and Don’ts for hospital visitors. The topic for. the meeting was “Health” and Mrs. B. Farr was program convenor. fl ’ She emphasized that of particu- lar concern should be those people who can not get out to meetings and suggested that by a home membership and rich visit- ing program the senior citizens club might bring a great deal of pleasure into their lives. Follow up of members who miss a few meetings might show that the Mrs. Fred Jackson, chairman of the Council on Senior Citizens’ Activities, spoke briefly to the meeting. “A year ago we here were just a pleasant dream held by the local recreation commit- tee" she said as she looked about the filled room. ' “We didn't know who would want to come or what they would like to do.” but over seventy filled the library for the first meeting; for special meetings the numbers swell to a hundred and the regular meetings are now calling out at least fifty. Mrs. Jackson said that now the members” should think of the people in the neighbourhood who could be interested in the group, for “each new person brings new interests and new skills to the grqu.n By Cicely Thomson At the senior citizens’ meeting held last Wednesday in the Unit- ed Church’s Education Building a special vote of appreciation was offered to "Mr. E.
