Dymond Elected President Of Ladies Auxiliary For 16th Term The annual meeting of the Community 'Memorial Hospi- tal Auxiliary was held on Monday, Nov. 20th in the Municipal building in Port Perry with 25 present. The meeting opened with the Lord's prayer. President Mrs. M. B. Dymond welcomed all that were present and in- vited anyone to come to our monthly meetings. The Auxi- liary was formed 15 years ago on Nov. 23rd, 1952. Mrs. B. L. Wanamaker, secretary gave her annual re- port of the different projects which were undertaken dur- ing th past year such as the Travelogue in Feb. the Spring Fair in May, the float for July 1st, the summer draw on the quilts and the Centennial Ball in October. At present tickets are avail- able for the Doll draw on Dec. 9th. So far this year 58 babies have been born at the hospital and each mother re-|-- ceived a Centennial teaspoon. During the year the Auxili- ary has supplied reading ma- terial at the hospital also Easter plants for the pa- tients and candy at Christ mas. Mrs. Don Crozier treasurer gave a financial statement for the year ending Novem- ber 15th, 1967. Last year the Auxiliary pledged $20,000 to the building fund of the new hospital and of this amount $13,000 has been turned over to this fund. Mr. Wm. A. Holland, ad- ministrator of the Oshawa General Hospital was the guest speaker. In his re. marks he said a good auxili- ary is the backbone to any hospital. In Ontario there are 68,000 members in 213 auxiliaires and over a million dollars was raised with a lot of this money going for fur- nishings and equipment in the hospitals. Many auxili- aries have teen age pro- grams as candy stripers and this has been very worth- while. One way to raise money is by a gift shop in the hospi- tal with volunteer help to run the shop. Mr. Holland spoke of the construction of a hospital as being costly as it has to be very well planned and have good equipment. One third of this cost is raised by local donations and the grants cover about two-thirds. As an auxiliary member we should be well informed when asked about our hospi- tal and to be a booster for our hospital. In closing Mr. Holland extended his per- sonal wishes for a success- ful year to the hospital auxi- liary and to the building of the new hospital. Mrs. Dymond thanked Mr. Holland for his informative talk and presented him with a small token of apprecia- tion. A tentative date of Dec. 18 was set for the Christmas meeting but representatives will be notified later. Mrs. S. MacFarlane chair- man of the nominating com- mittee expressed thanks to Mrs. Dymond for her good leadership in the past years and congratulated her on be- ginning her 16th year as President.

Dear Sir: Your editorial page of Thursday, 9th of November 1967 carried an excellent article, dealing with the strike at the H. W. Gossard Plant. This article-touched on the salient features of the dis- pute. The main cause of which was and has been, the company's refusal to move from its original offer of $1.00 per hour, a sum the Union considered inadequate, out of line with present stan- dards, as well as incompatible with the high cost of living. At such a time as this, name calling, or recrimina- tions of any kind, we realize, can serve no useful purpose. Too much time has been wasted in wrangling already, we agree wholeheartedly that it is high time a real effort be made to settle this strike for the benefit of all concern- ed the employer, the town, Som EDITOR 27 »]. Dear Sir: and more especially the em- ployees. You Sir, seem to have things in their proper pros- pective, that is why we wel- come as indeed our Union always has, suggestions from the Press who .are well in- formed and seem to get 'closer to such situations than the Public. If through your efforts, some way can be found 'to bring about a fair and honest settlement, based on the findings of the Ontario Gov- ernment ~Boards report, you can be sure of our help, and our utmost co-operation. Respectfully yours, Jim Kitts, Director of Organization Letter to tre EDITOR Last Tuesday brought our first sleet and snow storm. As usual there is icy roads & sidewalks. It would seem thrit the roads are the only| interest of our town. A week later the sidewalks "had rio "gantd-npptied; making! amir, ~ obicoke, Stouffville, Rich- mond Hill and the, local sur- rounding area. N RS it very dangerous walking. I fer one took to the road rather than risk a broken limb.. Having lived in smaller northern towns, thewe co ditions you would not fi These places would put our town to shame. Surely our town's budget oan spare sand for the side- walks. This would be much appreciated by wach of us I'm sure. -» Hoping for better walking A ccnditions, 7 '@ A noisy and interested | Taxpayer.
