Living (Kiiled Ini Action I Italy) New lIosDfital Backed Bv Council and Service Clubs With ieading businessmen of Bowmianville outspoken in support of a new, modern hos- pital for Bowrnanville and district, there is littie doubt that the hospital by-law to be voted on Septenîber 24 will carry by a good majority, but there is yet much work to be done to place the matter fully beforc the ratepayers and ensure a representative vote. Recent meetings of both Rotary and Lions Clubs were featured by attendance of Mayor and Couincil members tog-ether with local doctors where fuill discussions took place over alternatives of additions to thl present building or a complIete new structure. Opin- ion ivas unanimous for the latter. The by-law catis for raising debentures of $100,000, which addled to some $20,00OoO on hand, would leave a balance to be raised lof approximately $65,000 for a coxnpieteiy equipped new building. Part of this is as- sured in the promise of the Provincial Gov- ernment to buy the old buildinig. So as far as finance is concerned there is nothing at al formidable in the matter. It will be seen in tuie reports of the service club mneetings. found eisewhere in this issue, that both Mayor Morris and Chairmaîi of Finance Nîcholas, told of the liquid position of miuni- cipal finances, that the adoption of the by- law would not raise the tax rate and it prob- ably could be lowered. These figures and assurances take eare of the questions of whether we can "afford- a new ho.9pital. It lias been our experieuce that discussions touching nmunicipal improve- ments have generaliy eentered about finance with the more ethicai and moral values tak- ing second place. Iu this natter of a new hospitai the question is not so much whether we can afford the money- but rather whether we ean afford not to raise it. And this phase was one we were pieased to see at the ser- vice club discussions, took precedence. Dur- ing the iîext few w'eeks The Statesman xii place these other factors before the public in A matter that should leave no doubt about the wisdom of exidorsing the proposed hos- pital by-law. Lotteries and Draws Becomino- Nation-Wide Gambling Racket Newspapers are beginning to comment on the recent protests of churches and service clubs that a curb be placed on the xide- spread and growing practice of holding lot- teries to raise funds for charitable pumposes. The main charge is that gambling is thus fostemed and its influence imposed upon children who are employed to seli fiekets or acquire the habit of getting something for notbing. The protests are generally laid on moral grounds, and enfomeemeut of tbe Criminai Code is sugg-estcd to put a stop to the practice. For yeams this inethod of raising money lias been eimpioyed hoth di- rectiy and in modified fomm by the very agencies that now voîce condemnatioii. The JUited Church Observer states that "non)descript" organizations wvere ad vertis- ed iin the press to seil lueky tickets and mainly the purposes of money raising were not eve.iî mnipttoned.

It is a mistake to class the ques- tion of Hong Kong as trivial. There is no Chinese writer more respected in the west than Lin Yutaug. In bis recent book, "Be- tween Tears and Laughter," he says flafly thaf rnost Chinese would fight Britain ather than permit the handing back o! Hong Kong to British sovereignty. Yet the present Labor govemumeuf (unlike its press) takes pecisely the same attitude as the Churchill goverumeut took - that is that Hong Kong is part o! the British Empire and must s0 remain.

He can eamn the gratitude of the Asiafic peoplos by thus abdicafing from a Position which he neyer had any real right f0 anyway-fhaf is that of overlord. Or he can wait tri be fhrown ouf.
