communication Some of 3he best pointers ever learned about housekeeping came front neighbors in this way and I like to feel that I have able to pass on the odd good tip time to time Perhaps you wonder what fence have to do hospitals answer Is plenty The actual back fence course is not a prop employ- by hospitals but the sharing information and experiences a regular hospital activity 3wt try to imagine your com munity hospital isolating from other hospitals Immedi ately you can see what would happen Your hospital would soon be behind the times from almost every standpoint facili ties efficiency and economy This of course would never do To make sure that there is a continuous flow of information and cooperation among hospi tals for the advancement of all hospitals have organized them selves locally and nationally But local hospital cooperation is the prop that makes the other organizations strong I think it would be safe to say that when ever two or more hospitals have been situated close to each other there always has existed a measure of cooperation and sharing It is not until recent years however that hospitals across Ontario were completely organized into regions for the purpose of bringing local coop eration and sharing to a very high standard of attainment It will readily be seen that or ganizing all hospitals of Ontario A TOPCOATS Reg iJ PANTSRcg Reg nylon

the Ontario Hospital Association The pro vince was divided into geo graphical regions each of which elected Its own officers adopted its own constitutions and became known as a Regional Hospital Council of the Ontario Hospital Association Each Council is an entity unto but is identified with the Ontario Hospital Association for the purpose of broader relation ships with other regional coun cils through this body The On tario Hospital Association of course endeavors to provide suitable leadership to assure the maximum of beneficial results for the member hospitals of each region The general aims and objects of the Regional Hospital Coun cils are to maintain a high stand ard of hospital service to foster cooperation among hospitals and other health agencies and to educate the public on the func tions and problems of commun ity hospitals Councils meet at intervals throughout the year usually quarterly and reports of their meetings are forwarded to the parent association to enable it to make a survey of hospital activi ties throughout the province Much valuable information is thus available for vital problems which hospitals have to meet and the sharing of ideas and infor mation from the Regional meet ings greatly assists the Ontario Hospital Association in its role as spokesman and counsellor for its member hospitals Since the introduction of Re gional Hospital Councils there has been a definite upsweep in enthusiasm and results for the improvement of hospital care for the people of Ontario One out standing example of this is the fact that the annual conven tion of the Ontario Hospital As sociation held at the end of Oc tober was the largest ever with some three thousand hospital delegates visitors and exhibi tors attending A look at some of the subjects discussed by the Regional Coun cils shows that they really mean business Such areas of hospital administration as purchasing and stores control the cost of operat ing schools of nursing hospital

darkness Genesis Light might well be good since it sprang from that fiat of good ness Let there be light who enjoy it should be more grateful for It than we arc and sec more of God in it and by it Light physical is said by Solomon to bo sweet but the light of the Gospel is Infinitely more precious It reveals eternal things and min isters to our immortal natures When the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual light and opens our eyes to behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ we behold sin in its true colors and ourselves in our true position we see the Mast Holy God as He reveals Himself the plan of mercy as He propounds it and the world to come as Ho describes it Spiritual light has many beams and prismatic colors but whether they be knowledge joy holiness or life they all divinely good If the light received be thus good what must the essential Light be and how glorious be place where Ho dwells Oh Lord If light bo good give us more and more of it and more of Thyself the true Light No sooner than is a good thing In the world than a division Is necessary Light and darkness no commun ion God has divided thorn let us not confound them Sons of light hove no fellowship with the unfruitful works of dark ness children of tho day must bo sober honest and bold in tho Lords work leaving the works of darkness to those who will live In it forever Our chur ches should by discipline divide the light from darkness and we by our distinct separation from world do tho same In judgment in action in hear ing in teaching in association wo must discern between precious and the

personal relationships among the key hospital personnel who take part This is where the real overthebackfence person conversation conies into the picture Yes cooperation and sharing among hospitals is vital whether it is in Metropolitan Toronto which forms Regional Council No or Regional Council No 13 which takes in such northern places as Fort William Port Arthur and Red Lake The degree of success attained at these local regions will help determine the future overall effect of the provincial association and ultimately will be reflected in the national and international hospital scene You can be

Convention this year stated Good patient care is our constant aim Canadian Corps Association Do we think that because Can ada has not experienced war within its own boundaries that it will never do so Do we think that because we bear no ill will towards any country that we are immune from invasion Do we realize that behind an atomic or hydrogen bomb explosion inva sion forces in mass could strike by air and take us off balance Do we realize that what hap pened in Rumania last autumn where hundreds were killed and their bodies left in the streets as a warning to others could happen here Let us wake up and take notice of these things that are really happening to people just like ourselves people whose only wish is to live their lives in hap piness and safety but who for years have lived in the dread of what may happen to themselves and their- families at any mom ent Let us not throw up our hands and roll our eyes in hor ror at these happenings but let us do something about it Civil defense warden first aid posts traffic control and protection are four of the most pressing needs Encouragement should be to our young men to enlist in the nonperman ent as w ell as the permanent forces because if we are prepared and with our minds de termined not to panic but to hold fast to those things which we value and which we believe to be our right in this free country of Canada shall we go about the work that has to be done with the one thought above all others of helping those around us point stressed was the Royal Newfoundland Regiment It is always refreshing to hear of people
