Remarks were ban- tered back and forth about members ‘playjng politics‘ and using ‘backroom politics’, but all agreed there was a need for a policy and each was prepared to go along with the final decision. Councillor Wainwright was asked to outline exact procedure he would suggest council follow at the next council meeting. Morris Friesner of 884-7224 Jackson’s Point was convicted last week, of arson when a house at 99 John Street, Thornhill was burned in 1975. Friesner was spotted at the scene the morning of March 23, 1975. just hours after the house caught fire, and was arrested after Detective Sargeant. Robert McCausland of the York Regional Police, found a key to the John Street house and memos with directions to the house in the accused‘s vehicle. The vehicle he was driving was identified by a witness, Lawrence Kelly, as that seen in the area the night before. Another man, Leonard Pasternak was convicted as an accessory and sentenced to spend one year in Provincial reformatory for his part in the affair. Evidence pointed to a meeting between Friesner and Pasternak the night before the fire, and witnesses saw Pasternak pass Friesner We all have a need for encouragement and hope, but the need is greater for those in hospital. especially during the Christmas season. Often a minister or priest can satisfy this need for ‘support and assurance, so four years ago York Central Hospital set up a Unit Chaplain Program. The purpose of the program is to assist in meeting the spiritual needs of both patients and staff, said Assistant Executive Director Gloria Crotin. At present eight local ministers take part in the program. each identified with a particular patient unit and each using a non- denominational appro- ach. These chaplains usually visit tw0 times each week and form relationships that vary from friendship to one similar to a patient and counsellor. Loneliness is always a big thing, said Mrs. Crotin. and helping people cope with stresses of life. but there are special needs such as comforting of relatives of patients who are very ill or helping with funeral arrangements, which are best handled by the unit chaplains. If the patient so desires the chaplain will call the person's own priest, or say a few prayers prior to surgery or maybe just give a kind word â€" to show someone is caring, said Chaplain James Dauphinee who visits on the Pediatric Unit. Mrs. Crotin said she feels the Unit Chaplaincy Program promotes better understanding among hospital staff, patients, and their relatives. the key and the memos In October, 1976, Mr. Pasternak went to Israel and stayed there for three and one half years. When he returned to Canada in September, 1979, he was arrested and charged.

Unit chaplains meet with’ the Assistant Executive Director each month to discuss the program, any problems and educational programs of ad- vancement in the world of health care. so they are able to help more ef- ficiently. Chaplain Percy Brown who visits in the Con- tinuing Care Unit. tried to pin point this need which can so often be filled by a member of the clergy â€" the reaching out for assurance. “In each of us there is a feeling that someone. or something. or some spirit is in control,” he said. “and we reach out for it automatically." Chaplain Brown said he felt that people feel a priest or a minister or a representative of the church has some sort of special power â€" “and they are just reaching out for some hope," he said. Chaplain James Dauphinee said he feels the chaplains are there "to listen as a representative of God and to show his concern and caring". He added that people do not need to be religious to enjoy concern and caring. Unit Chaplains provide regular Sunday inorning worship services in the lounge on the fourth floor for any patient or staff member in the hospital who wishes to attend. Services which are usually brief, with hymn singing are described by Chaplain Browu as having “therapeutic value”.

Chaplain Brown said there is a definite need for such a person in any hospital â€" to always be available no matter how small the need.
