Single Copy 10¢ Standing By, Night and Day When a local businessman establishes a 24-hour service, he wants to spread the news far and wide. He wants the entire community to know that he is standing by, ready to serve any hour of the day or night. After a very short time, the public begins to take for granted that the businessman offers around- the-clock service. And it is only if and when they need that particular service, that they begin to ap- preciate it. Community hospitals have been giving non-stop service ever since they first opened their doors. You'll never see an "Out to Lunch" or a "Closed for Vaction" sign on the door of the hospital. That's because twenty-four hours a day, in good weather or bad, holidays and week-ends, your hospital is stand- ing by to give you and your family the best possible health care no matter when you need it. Because a hospital never closes, it must employ enough personnel to stand by every hour of the day and night. Hospital occupations run from A (ccount- ant) to X (ray) technologist, with some 150 in be- tween. There are nurses, laboratory technicians, " physiotherapists, technologists, dietitians, housekeep- ers, specialized office personnel, and many others. In fact, local hospitals are often the largest single employer in the area. So they contribute. not only to your personal health, but to the health of the ec- onomy as well. In many ways, today's hospitals resemble small cities. They centralize in one institution many of the essentials of everyday life, and many of the ser- vices we regularly use. They provide not only room and board, but also a "drug store", a power plant, a library, and in many cases a "school" for budding professional personnel. These facilities, of course, are all in addition to the technical and scientific services which contribute to patient recovery. May 12 is National Hospital Day. It is one day of the year when Canadians are asked to give some thought to the hospital service they receive during the other 364 days. This year's theme "Your Hos- pital -- Standing .By Night and Day", seeks to re- mind us that a "community hospital" is just that. It is owned and operated by people in our own com- munity. And these are people who stand prepared to serve us around-the-clock. In the long tradition of voluntary community effort, our hospitals not only serve, but constantly strive to advance the cause of good hospital care. hl ERAN Vis Wh ss ted."

Slap of a beaver tail; chuckle of running water; platter of wild duck taking off from swamp; feel of the sun on face; mist of green spreading through bare bones of branches; honest stench of wormes - guts on hands; favor at noon of big, bologna sand- wich with hot mustard; these are the things which quicken the senses, cleanse the body of its winter stupor, remind one that God is still in His heaven. And these are 80 of the reasons I have never missed/the rite, whether the mortgage is due, or my wife is having a baby, or I haye a date with Sophia Loren. And I hope to do so until the day when they have to carry me to a quiet spot on the stream and leave me there in my wheelchair, to watch the black water swirl around the white rock, the yellow sun pick up the golden gravel of the stream-bottom, Each year the ritual is the same. And each year / it is different. There is the year when you fall off a log in the first three minutes, and squish and squelch yourself through the rest of the day, a sod- den mess, wet fags, wet matches, soaked sandwiches. And there is the year when you hit the stream at the crack of dawn, fish with all your skill until sunset, and come home with two speckled trout eight inches long. And there is the year when you go out at 7.30 a.m., just to toss a line for old times sake, and have caught your limit before work-time at 9 am, And there's the year when your bait-can falls from your belt into a torrent, and you snap the tip off your rod ,and put a hole in your new waders, and get back to the car to find a flat tire, and get home to find your wife calling the police, because it's four hours after sundown. - But this year topped them all, It was complicated. Our high school music director, with incredible lack of foresight, had scheduled an exchange concert, with a city school, for that very day. Fine. But it turned out we had to have some of the visiting youngsters for dinner. As my wife is away every Saturday, for music lessons with the kids, this meant I was cook, Normally, I'd have welcomed a chance to display my culinary skill, In fact, I had the menu planned. Beef stew simmered in beer, followed by a sour cream souffle, roast chestnuts and peppermint life- savers as dessert. Then I realized it was Opening Day. I was aghast. Wanted to be a good host but danged if I was going to miss the rites of spring. Then jt struck me. Why not give these city kids, pampered for years on steaks and chicken, a real north-country dinner -- speckled trout, lovingly fried in butter? They'd never forget it. With a light heart, I hit for the trout stream on Opening Day. Everything was perfect. It was a fine day, and I knew there were at least 47 big speckles in there, just waiting to hit that butter. Got home at 4.30 p.m. with two six-inch chub and a 14-inch sucker. Went to the fish market. They had nothing but some fairly large whitefish, which: somehow didn't look liké speckled trout. Called all my friends. They had either heen skunked, like me, or stated flatly, 'The hell with you, Smiley; we're putting on a hig speckled trout dinner for those visiting musicians; feeding four of them." Bonght two pounds of hamburg. You know, there are times when my love for my wife 1s overwhelming, When I arrived at the. house at 6.30, she was grilling steaks in the oven. «Toronto Telegram News: Service
