Ontario Welfare Minister Louis Cecile said yesterday at the official opening of the $500,- 000 wing, that more than $3,000 a bed was saved on the 100-bed addition. "The cost might have been up to $9,000 a bed," said Mr. Cecile. "Actually the cost was e less than $6,000. He' cited the city's foresight by constructing the original building with an eye to expan- sion. for reducing the cost by one-third. ' "The increase in total popula- tion and the greater increase in the number of elderly persons creates a greater demand for accommodation," said the pro- vincial welfare minister. 26 NEW HOMES Mr. Cecile said 'in the munici- pal field there has been a com- plete rebuilding of all but one or two of the 35 homes that existed in 1950.-- 26 new homes have been established and the num- ber of homes has risen. by 300 per cent". Mr. Cecile said the record shows people now live longer -- and an additional 50 names ap- peared on a waiting list. He said the addition "will ex- tend to an additional 100 per- sons the comfort and content- ment we have attempted to pro- vide to many of this city's finest citizens." 'JOHNS THE FINEST Mr. Bint paid a personal trib- ute to Douglas Johns, superin- tendent of Hillsdale Manor, and said he is "the finest home for the aged administrator in the province'. Mr. Johns said he would ac- cept the "bouquets'"' thrown at him, "but not in my name"', He} said it would be impossible to} operate Hillsdale Manor without complete co-operation of the staff, city council and the peo- ple of Oshawa. "And, it would be impossible for us not to do a good job with the quality of residents we have here," he said. Representing the mayor and city council, Ald.

"It is notable that the aver- age life expectancy for those 65 years old is now 15.9 years," he said. 'In 1900 it was 12.2 years."| He said municipal homes for the aged have existed since 1870, but the last 15 years have brought three times more facil- ities than in the first 80 years. "The provincial government) recognized the growing need for this type of residential care and passed the Homes for the Aged) Act by which the province offer- ed to pay 50 per cent of the construction cost for new build- ings. Operating costs were sub- sidized too and at the present time the senior governments re- imburse 20 per cent of what the municipality expends." Ald.
