—0PEN FOR BUSINESS AGAIN --Tho Olympia. Restaurant on Water Street, Summerside, which was badly gutted by a. fire on Saturday, June 4th, is open for business in front while workmen u-re busy tearing the back out of the building preparatory lo re- building and. enlarging it. The fire, which for a while threatened surrounding residences. badly dam- aged the third storey building. the back of the second storey and the kitchen on the ground floor as well as a number of sheds to the rear. In about a. week after the fire Mr. Chester Gaudet, the proprietor, had the restaurant open with a small improvised kitchen set up in a cloak rocm. The ban- quet hall remains closed and is in fact open to the weather. In the meantime. Mr. J. Henry Gaudet, the owner oi the building had a gang of workmen on the job under the direction of Mr. Stanley Gaildet and lowered the roof of the building to a. two- storcy structure. All the sheds to the rear were torn down and work is now commencing on extending the main building to the bound- aries of Mr. Gaudets property. When cctnpleled the restaurant will be the same size but the ban- quet hall will be much larger with many added facilities such as cloak rooms and wash rooms ior men and women. l-le will thus be able 1o cater lo much larger gatherings than in the past with- out crowding. Living quarters for Mr. and Mrs. Chester Gaudet will be in the rear of the building. When completed the new building will be a considerable improve- ment. to the neighborhood. s

Activities Reviewed

The following report was sub- mitted by Mr. WE. Darby KC, president of the Board of Trus- tees of the Prince County Hospital at the annual meeting of the Hos- pital on Thursday night:

"It- is grstiiylng to find so many present tonight at the 39th annual meeting of the Prince County I-Ios- pitsl.

"At this time we submit to you, the shareholders of the Corpora-

tion. for such you are. a report of

the Board on the business carried on during the year. both institu- tional anci financial. The operation of a Hospital is somewhat analag- pus to that of Government; neith- er can be conducted by policies dictated wholly from business con- siderations, nor can the measure of their success or otherwise be adequately assessed on a mere dol- lars and cents basis. ' “Our work is the care of the sick and the infirm through the medium of institutional treatment. The me- thods. technique and internal rou- tine are the paramount concern of the Medical Staff. the superhi- tendent; nurses and technicians lervinl Within its walla. The Board itself exercises a supervising cun-

trol over the supply of equipmentnl

material. personnel and services generally, consistent with the rev- enues at; its disposal.

"This hospital is particularly ior- tunate in having in a small town professional men of the highest calibre serviiiE on its staff; the medical, surgical, X-ray, anaes- thetic and pathological services Provided would do credit to any institution. Our superintendent and nursing staff have rendered signal service under trying condilioiis. We can only express our heartfelt gra- titude to them for their unselfish devotion to duty.

Hospitalization

“The scope of the work perform- ed may be indicated by the follow- ing review of hospitalization: P.1- tients treated 2524, Babies 595, Hos- pital Days 25,413, X-Rays 2.643. Major Operations 4-62, Minor oper- ations 739. Blood transfusions 300, plaster casts 186, laboratory pro- cedures 7,077.

"In addition we had i879 outpa- tients, that is those whose stay in the hospital did not exceed one day.

"This is a tremendous volume of work in a small hospital of 60 bed capacity with only one operating and one delivery room.

“While all this was going on we maintained our Nursing School arid had graduated six young ladies as newcomers to the noble profession of Nursing.

"A survey of‘ the institution ii-

sclf reveals a vezy satisfactory state of affairs. "Many rooms have been newly

decorated; additional furniture and beds have been acquired so that all are now of the latest approved hospital type. The hails and cor- ridors have been painted and new linoleum laid where required. A new refrigerator and many other labor saving devices and technical equipment have been purchased.

"Much of the credit for these improvements goes t.o the Super- iritendarlt. and to the good women of the Ladies Aid and Octo Club. whose constant cooperation interest merits not only our pro- found admiration but sincere ap- preciation.

“The financial statement and auditors report will be tabled for your consideration.

“This shows in detail the reven- ues and expenditures of the Hos- pital; t.he capital assets and liabil-

ities; the position of our various‘

endowment accounts as well as

that of the building fund. E-‘inanoeo Summarised
