HOSPITAL BOARD MEETING: A regular meeting of the McCausland Hospit- al Board was held on August 20, 1974 in the Terrace Bay Municipal Office. The hospital has received a letter from the Ministry of Health giving approval in principle for a new health facility for the area. A letter will be sent to Dr. Baldwin, Area Planning Co-Ordin- ator informing him of the recently announced mill expansion and requesting an early meeting with him to expedite the planning of a new hos-] pital. The chairman of the Development Committee, Jan McEwen announced the formation of a study group which will provide the Board with detail- ed recommendations regarding the new health facility. This group will visit other small hospitals and solicit advice and suggestions from these hospitals as well as the general public in the local area.
