The council rooma was crowded to the doors by citizens on Mon.day night to hear the discussion and see what action thecouncil would take regard- ing engaging a community nurse. A large deputation represeuting the Women's Canadian Club ,Women's Institute, Great War Veterans' As- sociation, School Boards and other local organizations headed by Prin- cipal W. J. Morrison, B. A., waîted on the council with the request that the town engage a comxnunity nurse for the balance of this year. The promise was given by the de- putation that should -a nurse be em- ployed the council would only be asked to pay her salary which would be £romn $1500 to $1800 per year, the committee agreeing to provide for any other expenses entailed in this department. The proposition fav- oring the engaged of a nurse was ably presented by Dr. B. J. Hazie- wood, Medical Health Offilcer, J. H-. H-. Jury, Dr. G. C. Bonnycastie, W. J. Bragg, M. P. P ., and Mrs. E. R. Bounsail. An opportunity was given any per- sonin the audience who. opposed the question to speak and the off er was quickly accepted by ex-Councillor John Grigg who considered the mat- ter chiefiy from an economnie stand- pint and was not in sympathy with such new fads. Several of the councillors took an active part lai the discussion and when the motion to engage a nurse was put to a vote it was defeated, the voting being: Nays-Elliott, Thick- ,son, Merritt, Hallman, Milmine; Yeas -Rehder, Yates, James, The Mayor did not vote but we judge from bis remarks on the subject that the re- s uit met with bis approval. Dr. ýJ. C. Devitt, Rev. D. . es and Thomas Tod representing the B owmanville Hospital Board addres- THE EDITOR TALKS We have to make a correction. On page two under The Editor Talks, paragraph three, we imply that On- tario County Council passed a resolu- tioa asking the Education Depart- ment to amead the Education Act, re grants to public schools for reasons stated. Inspector R. A. Hutchison, B. A., Whitby, informed us on Fni- day that the despatch sent out'to the press was misleading. Such a resol- ution was introduced by a country member and sent on to the Education Committee where it was smothered and is not likely to agait corne to if.Now we feel much better. Boys and girls, take time to read an article for you in this issue head- ed Ontario's Small Towns. The ar- ticle is întended for young people but the heading is not likely to catch their attention. It treats of a very vital problem that sooner or later bobs up in every household where are boys and girls in their teens. If we could stand aIl the boys and girls s'>ho have gonè out from the Home- land of Durham to add to the wealth of manhood and womanhood of this big wonld a very large class would face us, truly. That last, paragraph but one-the one about "counting noses'" applies to Durham County in a very markýed sense. Don't faîlI to read the article.j THREE COUNTIES HOSPITALS Mr. Thomas Tod, last year's Presi- dent of Bowmanville Hospital Board, and Mr. J. D. Hayden, President,i Cobourg Hospital Board, waited on the Counties Council at its last ses- sion and presented sonie interesting facts. The record of the three general hospitals of these United Counties have a splendid interest for many of our readers. This statement con- veys some idea of the benefit they are in their respective districts andi of the cost of maintenance. Forj1 MISSIONÂRY SUNDAY R!ýev. Dr. Endicott Delivered Intersest- ing Âddresses. Methodists of Bowmianville enjoy- ed a real treat on Sunday when Rev. Dr. James Endicott, the General Sec- retary of Missions, gave three fine addresses on his actual experiences on the mission fields of'China. Dr. Endîcott was among the first of the mîssionaries to go to that eastern country and the wonderful changes which have taken place and the huge difficulties overcome tbru the power of the.Christian religion made a very thrilling story as told by hlm. He- also did pioneer missionary work be- fore going to China in Western Can- ada so is well fitted for the import- ant position he occupies in the Methodist Church of Canada. The choir under direction of Mr. T. W. Stanley provided a splendid musi- cal service, Mrs. H. M. Foster sing- ing a very appropriate solo in the miorning and Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Pickard an equally good duet in the evening. CÂNADA'S PREMIER GLEE CLUB WiII be at Methodiat Church, Bow- manville, Thursday, Feb. 16th. The Victoria College Glee Club of Toronto, which cornes to Bowrnan- ville next Thursday, February 16, enjoys an international* reputation having toured England several years ago under the present distinguished conductor, Prof. ýE. R_ Bowles who is a composer and instrumentafist of continental fame. The program will consist of humor- ous and concert chorttses which have made this club famous as a choral organization, besides quartette num- bers, vocal and instrumental solos and readings. Bowmanville is indeed fortunate in having such a musical organization corne to town and we feel assured the club will hbeo'i'pp*pcl ,ith avr 4 i j TOWN PUBLIC SCHOOL Honor Roil For January Central School Entrance Class-Mary Muirhead, Ruby Hailman, Dorothy James, Ber- nard Mitchell, Marion McDougall, Jack Cole, Leland Berry, Jack Kent, Lucy McMurtry, Vera Colwell.
