Several good sitee can be secured in this area and the Department of Game and Fisheries â- is ui-ged to tnckJe the problem at once .-'nd' DO something. This ai-ea neeiis the young fish as well as th? north coumtry, where a majority are being placed at the present time. The speckled tro^t fishing season finishes on September 15th, and ends a very successful serson, although i-.ot many have been taken during the past month or so. Some good catches have been reported from the Hydro Lake at Eugenia, but not as many as some former years. The policy of the Department of Game and Fisheries has been to by-pass Eugenia as re- gards placing of small fish for sport- ing purposes and, considering the size of the waters, very few trout have been placed' in the lake. This teiTitory deserves better treatment from tJie Department than that, as more tourists have been coming here for fishing each year, and if they don't catch trout they won't be back. While there is one speckled trout hatchery in Grey Oounty. another one is neeued to take care of the large increase in fisherman.

Provincial Constable H. Black investigated the accident and found that the car had been stolen in Toronto and was own- ed by Mr. Leslie Blackwood of Gait. Mr. Blackwood was reached in To- ronto and Constable Black's tidir.gs of the wTeck was the first he knew that the car was missing. The driver of the wrecked machine was not lo- cated.

KERNAHAN Flesherton, Ont. Douglas Linton, young son of Mr and Mrs, Russell Linton of Victoria Comers, won first prize at Mt. Forest .amateur concert Monday evening, and was awarded a $25 prize. Due to â-  various circumstances oi I the present day conditions. Dr. R. L. I Carefoot, owner of the Markoale pri- i \-ate Hospital, fines it impossible to I continue operatisig the hospital for I public service. He has, however, in- tiniaed that he would sell the build- ing and contents as a going concern can be operated as a municipal enter- prise. As a result of considerable ground work to this end, a meetirkg of niiunicipal officials from the nine surround'ing townships and villages, namely: Markdaie, Holland. Glenelg. Euphrasia. Areniesia, Flesherton, Os- prey. Proton and Dunefcsdk. met in the PuWic Lihrray at Mfeu-kdale Friday evening and discussed the ad%-isabil- ity of taking over the hospital as a public hospital, and it was ciecidei.: with Reeve M. Henry of Mark- dale as chairman, that a deputation wait On the Minister of Public Health Mr, Kelly, to see what could be dont in this regard. It was unanftnouily agreed that a hospital was a necess- ity to this territory and should be taken over or some anangement made to keep it operr«Lng. and while the meeting was in favor of the pro- ject they were not committing them selves to take any such st<^p. except at the express wish of the pei>ple The folk>wir.g resolution was pre- sente by Reeve J. A. Davis of -Arte- mesia, secoixied by Reeve Fred HaK â- ,f Osprey and passed unanmiously. "Th;i: this meeting of all the mem- bers of the Councils of Markdaie Flesherton. Dmxialk.

Kelly, to this end and sM icit the support i>f the Department financially and morally, in order that this may be accomplished." With regani to the problem we publish the following article taker, from a recent issue of The Markdaie Standarii: -After a vei->' thoroiigh investigat- ion of the position of the local hosp- pital as compared to a pnblic hosp- ital. Dr. R. L. Carefoot has become convinced that if the citizens of the area served by this hospital w'sh to I have it serve their needs for ho>s|>ital> I ization in the future years it is in their l^est intrests to get busy aiKl organize and have it incorporated under The Puplic Hospital Act. This is a matter for interested public a(»ir> ited citizens wljo believe the hospital is a vital necessity in the community to volunteer their services, and worit to have ji estaWished on a firm basis. A private hospital is subject to all kinds of taxation, but is not lawful- ly entitled to ask for or accept grai-ts from any source as it is a ho^Mtal operated under pri\Tite management for personal gain. It can be cloeed at any time by its owners, or by the Dept. of Health if they decide the needs for hospitalization can be ad^ Q.uateiy proided for by public hos- pitals situated in the larger centres. Dr. carefoot considers it his d'uty to first offer his hospital to the com- munity at a *air pr'.ce far below the costs of new construction at the prea^ ent time. If the community decides to accept his offer an' establish it as a public hospital it â- "^11 continue to serve this area in the future and be entitled to its full share of any grants leviea for hospital purposes. If the contmunity decides it does not want this hospital. Dr. Carefoot will then feel free to dispose of the btiJl*!- ii^s to a private party or parties to be used for other purposes, and dis- pose of his equipment to be used elsewhere. .A i)etition is being prepared for distr&ution to the municipalities in the area served ir. order to detei^ mine the wishes of the people who reside in each one. .arul also to havie some coT.crete e>ider.ce to present to the Dept. ctf Health if and when they are asked to establish and in corpor- ate it under the Public Hospitals .\ct. We understand Dr. Carefoot ?in,ls the maiiagement and care of its suc- cessful operation to be too great a load for him to carry and lio full justice to himself and his many other d;^ies connected with his large med- ical and sugica! practice. It is for this reason he offers it to \'xvu whom it has served during the years of »*• operation, together with his belie* that in the future years a oublic hospital can best serve the needs oi the people for hospitiliaiation. Some may ask. is the hospital operatinsr at a loss'' The answer is No, It is entirely up to the cwnmunity to de'-ide its futiFre as a hospital and Dr. Jarcioot will abide bv their I'e- cisicn. He can only offer it to them. ai'.d it is they who must make the decision. It is in the best intrests of all con- cerned to decide this isswe at the etirf- iest possible tiate. All interested groups. organia\.t'r>ns, and individ- i-.i'ls. are asked to co-operate _ and help fcuin the necessar>- oryanizLit- ion.
