D. Smedley in his long association with the board of directors of War Memorial Hospital was made at Fri- day night’s board meeting by chair- man Clive Stangoe. Mr. Stangoe said he would like to express on behali of the hoard and of the people of the district, the ap preciation due to Mr. Smedley, who had acted on the board sinee the opening of the hospital 30 years ago and was sérving as vice-chairman at the time of his death.

Miss Barrett is a graduate of the Sick Children’s Hospital, Toronto, clase of 1949. She nursed in England following graduation and on her re- turn to Canada accepted the position ‘of head nurse at Children’s Hospital, London, Ont. Coming west last spring she wus associated with the Anglican Chureh Sunday School Mission Van until September when she joined the nursing staff at War Memorial. Application from the Ambulance Society for re-consideration of their inal request to have the hospital t as q clearing house or calls for ambulanee service was again turned down by directors following a lengthy discussion on the question. Feeling of those voting against the proposal was that, irrespective of the fact that the hospital was in- curring no legal responsibility, it would add too much extra work on] the staff at a time when accommo- dstion was already putting too much of a burden on employees. “Best Brigade” Alastair: Mackenzie, former Vil- lage Commission chairman, was up trom Squamish this week and at- tended the regular board meeting of the commission Tuesday as 0 guest. ea Friends of Joe Smith will’ be pleased to know that he is doing well in Vancouver General Hospital foi- lowing an operation this week.
