The amount of time and sheer hard work saved by the new system is in- estimable. The hospital is fed from a bank | of 50 oxygen bottles located in the rear of the hospital power house, to the north of the hospi- tal. From the bank, the oxygen is piped underground to the hospi- tal, and channelled to outlets be- side each bed, and in every oper- ating room and patient service area. Where formerly ment had to be trundled from room to room, now the staff needs only to plug the oxygen tent and gauges into a wall out- let, and turn a tap to administer oxygen, FOOL-PROOF SUPPLY The oxygen supply is fool-proof. The hospital is supplied from one 25-bottle side of the oxygen bank at a time. When this bank is al-| most empty, the supply is auto- matically switched to the other side of the bank. heavy equip- the district, Miss Brown was in- Oxygen Pipeline | Cuts Work, Time The amount of oxygen in the by|bank is under careful watch by followed the early straw ones, |q, ning a tap.

WATCH TEMPERATURES Members of the engineering| staff keep close watch on the| temperature of the oxygen bank, by means of two thermometers given by Mrs, Ronald Thomas. Mrs. David Peebles gave the bingo report. Al. Cox reported on the Central Council meeting and David Peebles presented the rifle club report. The next association meeting will -be held May 11. First Ship Arrives At Harbor | The navigatior season at Osh- |awa Harbor was officially open- ed for the 1960 season shortly after 5 a.m, Sunday when the collier R. O. Pitman nosed through the channel and tied up in the harbor basin. The self - unloading vessel brought 7200 tons of coal consign- ed to McLaughlin Fuels and Sup- plies, Limited. She took on the cargo at Sandusky, Ohio. After unloading the ship departed be- tween 1 and 2 p.m. Sunday. The traditional silk hat was presented by Harbormaster Lloyd Gifford to Capt. Drummond of the R. 0. Pitman. Capt. Drummond commented that this was the fifth trip his ship has made this year.
