Page 6, News, Tuesday, December 3 1991 Bursary gives major boost to x-ray fund Originally set up to encourage students going into medicine by Darren MacDonald The News The Freddy the Fracture Finder fund has received a major boost of more than $6,000, thanks to the liquida- tion of a bursary originally intended for prospective medi- cal students. The McCausland Bursary Fund was set up in the 1960s, when a special day was set aside to honour Dr. McCaus- land. "All of his babies from all over Canada came for it," said Marge Hamilton, who adminis- ters the bursary. Those who came to honour Dr. McCausland donated money toward a fund, which later became the bursary. It was awarded to students planning a career in medicine, "but because of a lack of eligible students, the $300 bursary was later made into an academic award. But despite the relaxed requirements, Hamilton says students weren't taking advan- tage of the bursary. "In the last three years, we've only had one application for a $300 bursary," she says. "'We had to do something about this." Hamilton says that when she approached Dr. McCausland's four daughters about liquidat- ing the bursary, and donating the proceeds to the hospital's x- ray fund, they were initially reluctant. But once they realized the lack of interest in the bursary, the daughters agreed with her assessment, Hamilton says. "They said they were sure their father would approve," she says. McCausland C.E.O. Clem Fewer agrees. "The bursary was not being used," he says. "This way, (DR. McCausland) will live forever." oe Contract not renewed by board c continued from page one Marge Hamilton (centre left) gives a cheque for more than $6,000 toward the purchase of the new x-ray machine.
