Sick people have fo wait their turn. A number of beds have been in the halls daily during the lasi three months. Soon only emergency cases can be be admitied without prior notice, and perhaps a waiting period. Your HOSPITAL is . .. NENORIAL HOSPITAL, Eowmanville. Il serves you ail. In 1958 there were 2,792 patients admilled front the above four municipalities. Each municipality has belped i different degree Io huild and maintain il. Now il has heome too sinail for the demand created by the present larger and increasing population of the hospital district. Each of the four municipalifies has been asked to pay a share of the cost of the needed new wing. The ttal to be paid by these districts, whose people use the hospital, is $480,000. The fable below shows the portions each Municipal Council has been asked to pay, and the number of sick and injured persons from each who were admitled Io the hospilal in 1958.

Clarke Township Council has so far refused. Perhaps there is some misundertanding there. The hospilal Is only asking Clarke Council fo pay ils share fo provide beds for the people from Clarke. If should be clearly under- sbood thaltIhe HOSPITAL AND HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION HAVE NO CONNECTION WHATSOE VER. Because Clark. Council has not yet agreed Io pay ifs share, the start of the construction of the badly îeeded winq is held up. The federal and provincial government graîts which will cover more than hall of th. million dollar cost of the îew wing, leaving only $480,000 Io be paid by the«hospital district, wili h. withheld unlil each of the four municipalities concerîed agrees te pay ils share. Three of these have agreed. The new wing is desperaîely needed. Clarke had nearly 600 sick and injured who were patients in Memorial Hospital in 1958. There were also 2,200 from other parts of the hospilal district during the same year. Unless action is taken quickly, unless ground can be broken as soon as possible, many of the suffering among your relatives, friends, and neighbours from ail four municipalities will be withaut hospilal accommodation soon, or will have to be sent la distant hospilals ai great inconvenience and expense. And wiil there he beds available in dist ant hospilals? PEOPLE 0F CLARKE, GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR REEVE AND COUNCILLORS HARRY V.
