Officiais At the invitation of the Hospital Board members of the Township Councils of Darlington, Clarke and Cartwright, Village of New- castle and Town of Bowrnanville met in the Council Chamber, Fni- day nighf, when matters pertain- ing to the crowded condition of Bowrnanville Hospital were dis- cussed. Major Joe O'Neill, presi- dent of the Hospital Board, who presided at the meeting, led in the discussion. He explained how the hospifal had grown frorn a town hospital until now about hall the patients carne from ad- joining municipalities. These sta- tistics were given showing nurn- ber of patients by municipalities and percentages for year ending July 31, 1943: Patl"'nts Percen Bowrnanville --- 398 46.82 Orono --------- 55 6.47 Newcastle ------- 61. 7.18 )Darlington ----- 207 24.35 Clarke............----53 6.24 Cartwright ------ 8 » .94 Other places ------ 68 8.00 TOTAL ---------- 850 100.00 The hospital is lisfed with thE goyernrnent as having 18 beds, noi including the nursery. Man3 times during the past year therE have been as many as 37 patient in the hospital at one lime. ThiE has required turning the reception room into a 2-bcd ward, 3 bcd: in the McCullough ward insfead -o! one and even puttirng patients femporarily ho the bath room, operafing room and anesthctic roorn. The men's.ward on num- erous occasions has been turned into a maternity ward. To show the increased dernand for hospital service 15 materoify cases are booked for this rnonth. Four years ago the number of days stay for patients per montlh .averaged around 400 days, now il averages over 650 days. These facts were given to show~ the crowded condition of the hos. pital and how handicapped this institution is in giving adequate servicei$o the patients. It is also unfair to ask the loyal nursing staff to work under such condi- tions. The increased dèrnand for hos- pital service is due partially to lack o! help in the homes, scarcity c! practical nurses and the realiz- ation that patients can be looked aller better and at less expense in the hospifai than aI home. It was infimafed thaf few if any births in Darlingfon have been registered with fhe Township Clerk in the pasf year as fhey are all broughf f0 Bowmanville Hos- pitai. If accommodation is nof suffici- cnt in the hospital for local pa- tients considerable extra expense and inconvenience is entailed in taking these patients to city hos- pifals where rates are higher and cost o! transportation of patients, as well as relatives visiting thcm, adds rnaterially to the cosf. It was shown, too, that often patients wishing to enter the hospital had to wait on account o! ail wards Contlnued on page five NOW AMBASSADOR Hon.

These ail pay dividends and we will neyer be blamed! "The Home, School, Church and friends, went on Mr. Wendt, "are the greatest influences in a boy's or girl's life and in order named." ~There is no blame to the Church, to Jesus there was no delin- quency!

This has been particuiarly noticeable in retail merchandising as every person is affected. First it was scarcity o! goods, then came rationing. Next was lack of help necessitating a cut down or elim- ination of delivery services. Now merchants in many towns and cities, inciudxlg Bowmanvilie, have found if advisable to limit the hours of doing business. This condition is due to short staffs working long hours and also f0 profecf local customners. If has been noticeable for some weeks since Oshawa merchants closed early on Safurday nights, citizens from the Mofor City have been flocking f0 Bowmanville Safurday nights to shop, which has resulfed in many of our stores "selling out" fo out-of-town peo- pie, and thus nof being able f0 supply goods f0 their regular home town customers. To profecf local business the grocery stores, and meat shops petitioned town council f0 pass a by-iaw to close 'chese parficular stores at 7 o'ciock Safurday nights. This by-law ap- peags in another column, which cornes into effect Safurday, Nov. 20. If is hoped customers in town and country wiil appreciafe this condition and adjust their shop- ping hours accordingly.
