Moreover, the cars have so spoiled folks, that they prefer to stay at home, rather than' face the drive into town, in an open vehicle, behind a horse.

The situation 'in the private ward was most acute, due to the fact that the private ward is comparatively small in the local hospital, The semi-private ward suffered also ,but by putting in extra beds where possible, the public ward situation was not so acute, Within the last few days condi- tions have improved somewhat, al- though there there are no extra beds even now, up te Saturday, beds were at a premium, Busy Season This is the busiest season of the year, and it has been usual in tre last few years to experience an overcrowded situation in January at the local hospital, so that 1930 ing | was no exception, When asked by The Times whether an isolation hospital would relieve the situation here, Miss McWilliams replied, 'It cer- tainly would. At the present time, when we have any cases of conta- gion, we have to send them to the Toronto isolation hospital in an ambulance, We cannot, of course, attempt to handle contagious cases in the general hospital." Addition Needed ' There was need of a large addi-' tion to the Oshawa General Hog- pital," Miss McWililams said, 'So far, however, public opinion had not gol behind the hospital board in its efforts to point out this need, and there was no ap- parent likelihood of an addition being constructed 'in the near fu- { ture, The institution had been for- tunate in not having to send any ordinary patients to Toronto hos- 8 any cases not able to find room at the hospital were treated in private homes," Miss MeWil- liams stated.
