The constable was after a suspected individual seen driv- ing away from the Knob Hill farm property on Don Mills Road at Highway 7 in the af- termath of a break-in. No property was apparently stolen. P. C. Cox chased the car, a stationwagon until he lost it in the Unionvllle area. Mdrkham Chief Harvey Cox praised the co-operation of Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Bond Lake and Metro police which at one point in the chase had 10 or 11 cars in the area scour- ing for the car and a suspect they believe might have been on foot. “women have been asking when they were going to be in the hospital. We are ‘in’." she enthused, “One hundred of us, relieving the hospital staff of the consuming jobs that can be handled by non-professio- nals." There is an interesting vaâ€". riety of work to be done by volunteers -â€" sorting mail and delivering it, arranging and caring for flowers, which can become quite a time consuming task for nurses, working in the admitting and emergency de- partments, acting as escorts, i.e. taking patients to the X- Ray and treatment centres. Other volunteers put in their service by sewing, manning the gift shop and the gift cart. Mrs. Miller was particularly happy about the teenage members. She said that with their youth- ful freshness and happy man- ners they flitted about like beams of sunshine in their rose colored smocks. Mrs. Miller explained that it could not be emphasized too often that volunteers must ad- Each volunteer is given a thorough briefing on behaviour and it is impressed upon her that all information acquired through her association must be kept in strictest confidence. This is one of the very imporâ€" tant points in public relations. Nothing pertaining to patients or hospital administration must be discussed with anyone. . Mrs. Miller emphasized too that the volunteer was there to supplement never to take the place of the professional. Volunteers must be punctual, bearing in mind that many of the workers they replace have baby sitting problems and fa- milies demanding their atten- tion. It had happened that some of the workers had to remain on the job for six hours rather than the three because their relief did not notify that they would not be in. Volunteers must be quiet in‘ T duty and MUST STAY ON THE JOB. At all times the well being of the patient must be considered, keeping in mind i that no preference must be shown. It would seem that a volun~. teer, to use that old fashioned word, must be ‘a lady'. Mrs. Miller said that many offers of volunteer help hadI come in from nonâ€"members in the surrounding areas. There is, however an understanding that all volunteers must be auxiliary members. At present the need is for volunteer drivers. During the business session Mrs. R. Britnell, branch chair- man announced that GHVS branch had contributed $1000 to the auxiliary this year. The treasurer reported $153 on hand and on motion it was agreed to keep $53.00 and for- ward the balance to the auxi- liary. The gift workshop at the home of Mrs. Ruth Finlay, R. R. 1 King, will reopen in Fe- bruary and volunteers will be needed for sewing, stuffing toys, parcelling etc. Phone Mrs. John McCague for information. The annual meeting of the branch auxiliary will be held February 24 at Victoria Square Community Hall. A committee was appointed to make arran- gements. Mrs. Carl Wallace, Headford; Mrs. John McCague, Victoria Square; Mrs. F. Dul- lege, Gormley. The following members were appointed as nominating committee: Mrs. G. Bales, chairman; Mrs. W. Well- man, Mrs. R. Weedon and Mrs. N. Bell. Mrs. Miller announced the auxiliary will hold a formal ball in the rotunda of Simp- son‘s store in Yorkdale Plaza south of 401, April 25. This will be the premiere enter- tainment in the store rotunda. The meeting continued as a social hour when the hostess served refreshments. Mrs. Carl Wallace extended grateful ap- preciation to Mrs. Miller for bringing so much information to the branch and for the pleasant association with her.
