r aalnjiatia With Which Are lneorporated The Bowmanville News, The Newcastle Independent, And The Orono News VOLUME 89 BOWMVANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, JANUARY 2lst, 1943NMBR tel Property illeHospital Richelieu Roi To Dowmanvi For the past couple of weeks ai .ad headed "Richelieu Hotel Fo: Sale By Tender" has appeared in the columns of The Statesman. Comment occasioned by this ha: prompted us to tell something of the story behind the ad. 1To many it came as a surprise to know that the hotel was ownec by the Bowmanvilie Hospital Board. Here again The States- man enters into the picture. Dur. ing the past five months we have in news stories stressed the neec for increased accommodation at Bowmanvilie Hospital and the need for money to finance the project. Stories of the generous donations made by two former Durhamites in the persons of Geo. S. McLaughiin, Oshawa, and Mrs. L. B. Williams, Toronto, were featured. Ail this was read witii interest by a Durham man living in Brooklyn who was stirred te do what he could to help the cause. So Absalorn Abraham, af Brooklin, formerly of Darlington, decided to present the Richelieu te the board. On November, 3 he wrote to C. H. Mason, secretary- treasurer, and informed him: 4' understand that the Bowmanville Hospital is setting up a special fund ta use in the extension of the present hospitai buildings at the first opportunity. I arn the owner of the former Bowman House premises, now known as the Hotel Richelieu.. The hotel is at present leased to Mr. Thurlow and I arn prepared ta convey these premises ta the Bowmanvilie Hos- pital and ta allow them full con- trai of the same as owners. The net profits from the hotel and the sale price, upon the sale of the premises, would be placed in the special building fund and used for the purpose of the fund." A meeting of ,, the Hospital Board was called' and then an Iivember 9, Mr. MÂason replied to teir. Abraham: "A committee has been appointed by the Board of Directors to investigate the pas- sibilities of such a proposai and further if it is in the power of the Board ta consider such a pro- posai." The letter aiso contained the following paragraph: "I would like ta express ta you the apprec- iain yorgeeBords onsideration inyof thee Board ofirectors toward Bowznanviile Hospital for by yiga tion you are no doubt aware o~te diffîcuity in operat- ing, particulariy from a financtal standpoint, a charitable institution such as al hospitals are, and it is only by public spirited generosity of such men as yourseif, as you are shawing yourself ta be by this offer, that makes it possible for a cammunity such as West Durham which Bowmanvilie Ras- pital serves, to have at their dis- posai the institution to care for the sick when they necd immed- late attention." On November 17 the foilowing letter was sent ta Mr. Abraham: "The cammittee has ordered me ta advise you of their acceptance of your kind offeir and will be pleas- ed ta co-aperate with you in any way you require in having the r property transfcrred ta the hos-E pital."V Since that time, thraugh W.. R.E Strike, Bowmanvilie solicitor, the 2 decd bas been prcpared and signed and the hotel is now the property of the Bowmanviiic f Hospital. :j Dr. Geo. S.

Asking for th< explanation, Mr. Rogers was told, "It is because we are gctting short fmeasure in education". Referring briefly ta the inno- vation 0f including religious in- struction in the local high schoo. and South Ward School, Mr. Rog- ers remarked that "no systcm of education which leaves out relig- bous ideals can dlaim ta be a gaod system". He explained that success in life starts back at the begînning tak- ing into consideration hcredity, envirofiment and education, all thre 0f which might be grouped under the anc heading, educatian, "Thirteen thausand teachers in Canada today are gctting lcss than $10 a weck salary," he statcd.

L. Pascoe, of Solina, presiding. It was revcâled that a record was established when no appli- cations wcre received during the month of December for a pension. This is an indication that times are better and that people are be- comîng more thrifty. It was noted with regret that Mrs. A. L. Nichoils, Bowmanville, was unable ta attend the meet- ing on Tuesday on account of iii- ness. Mrs. Nicholîs has been a most faithful and valuable mem- ber of the Board and has missed very few meetings. For 19 years she was the efficient secretary of t,4o2 former County Mother's AI- Ioç"nce Board.
