THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Wednesday, January 15, 1941 ^ • VICTORIA CORNERS Mn. Wallace Fisher of Rock Mills visited her sister, Mrs. Jas. Linton, ior a few days last week. Rassell Linton has been quite sick with the flu, but is able to be out of l>ed again. The Y. P. of Inistioge are having their meetings at the several homes again. Last week they were at the home of John Duncan. The week before they held a social evening at the home of Gertrude Montgomery. Harold Jackson is in Toronto look- ing for a position. He completed his thirty days' training. On Thursday, Jan. 9th, the ladies of Inistioge W. A. met at the home of Mrs. Chas. Moore, when seventeen members and four visitors were pre- sent, besides a number of wee tots. The "better half" of a number of the ladies also enjoyed themselves in the other room. The meeting opened with Mrs. Ckjpeland, the president, in the chair and the hymn "Take My Life and Let It Be," followed by the Lord's Prayer. The roll call was answered by New Year's suggestions. Some of these were personal while others were in regard to the church. Mrs. Walter Niehol read the 97th Psalm and Mrs. Robt. Acheson led in prayer. Mrs. Russell Patterson gave a very suitable topic based on the 1st verse of the Psalm. New year read- ings were given by Hazel Copeland, Muriel Talbot and Mrs. Oscar Pat- terson. Mrs. Art Jackson read an -impressive temperance story. Mrs. Elmo Stevens sang a solo, accom- panied by Miss Anna Maude Ache- son, entitled "Sweeter as the Days Go By." Mrs. Chas. Moore, tiie missionary secretary passed around a missionary monthly paper, for the members to scan, which was issued, by the Presbyterian church and bore' the date of August, 18€6, and also the name of her grandfather. She read one small item whicl. referred to the war which was in progress T)etween Germany and Prussia. A foot note said that the telegraph system had brought word thjrt peace "had been signed. Let us hope that when that good news comes after this war it will reaUy be lasting peace The business of the coming year was discussed and birthday names dis- tributed. The collection was received and a number of the members started the year oflf right by renewing their membership. The meeting closed with a hymn and the Mizpah bene- diction. The next meeting wiU be held at the home of Mrs. Jkmes "Batchelor. (Intended for Last Week) Miss Doris Bannon returned to Tor- onto after the New Year with her brother, Jim, and thence proceeded to Kingston. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

On Sunday December 28th Mr. Glen £a«rle, student at Immanuel College, preached at Inistogue. Glen was born at Eugenia while his father was pastor of the Eugenia circut, nclnd- Ing Inistogue. The weather was so bad, that not many were able to attend, but we hope to have another call from him. A school meeting was held at S. S. No. 4. on Thursday during the holi- days. Elmo Stevens, the retiring trustee, retains the secretaryship but Luther Love is the new trustee. An agitation had been on foot to close No. 4,there being less than the required number f pupils in the section, though there are others attending. This section, being part of the original, is not laid out to the best advantage. The service station on the comer op- posite is not in this section as it be- longs to Proton and so on down that Bide of the road. It was found that if the school was closed the section would still have to pay taxes and appoint ' the trustees every year and it would not materially lessen the taxes for each ratepayer. So school keeps, and opens to-day, with Miss McDonald back in charge. PRICEVILLE The W.M.S. and W. H. Societies of St. Andrew's church will be held at the Manse on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

FACTS AND FBGURES Patients tremted ia the "In- Patieae' DepMTtment during the Hospital's last fiscal year totalled 9,030 Total patiaat days 135,009 Total aambar of attendances at "Out- Patient" Department 79,410 Total Operating Expenses $541,463 Total income from all sources $455,205 Deficit wbicb MUST be met by Donations $86,258 Over 9,000 infants and children were treated in The Hospital for Sick Children during the past year. They came from all parts of the Province. All were under 10 years of age â€" most of them came from the homes of the needyâ€" over 95% occupied Public Ward beda. Careful management kept hospitalization costs down among the lowest for children's hospitals in the whole of North America. In â- pite of this, the cost of caring for 9,000 little bed patients and of supplying the medical attention required by 79.410 children's visits to our heavily burdened Out-Patient Department, was much more than the revenue received from all sources. A similar deficit occurs every year because the Public Ward rates are less than the bare cost of hospital service. In some cases ther parents pay, and in others their municipalities shoulder tha burden. In either event, our revenue is at the same fixed rateâ€" about (1.00 per patient day less than our costs. , . This Hospital does NOT share in the funds collected by the Federation for Community Service because patients ' are admitted from all over Ontario. Only the gifts of generous citizens make it possible for ue to continue carrying on without stint our work of mercy among Ontario children. Every donation is important. Please give as much as your circumstances warrant. This is a worthy charity which deserves your special consideration. We employ no canvassers, so please mail your gift to the Appeal Secretary.
