Appointment In Hospital A Presbyterian minister who is a paraplegic has been appointed assistant chaplain at Princess Margaret and Sunnyside Hospitals. The Rev. J. P. Edgar has suffered his disability since a car accident about two years ago, and is confined to a wheel-chair. “We feel he can make a unique contribution to this kind of work,” said the superintendent of the Presbyterian Social Service Association (the Rev. G. F. McKenzie). Mr Edgar was previously minister of the Mackenzie County parish at Fairlie.
