In the fall of 1948 he was presented with the Long Service Badge by the Postal Department at their convention at North Bay. His genial and kindly disoosition made him a host of friends and his passing now breaks a tie with the early semi- pioneer conditions.

Appeals To Centre Grey Institutes For Hospital Aid (Editor's note: The following is a message to the members of the Cen- tre Grey District Women's Institutes.) By Mrs. Tora M. Graham (Centre Grey Women's Institute representative to the Centre Grey General IfBspital Board) I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the confidence you have placed in me by appointing me as your representative to the Centre Grey General Hospital Board. ^ The superintendent, Miss Isabel Boyd, Reg.N., assures me that the in- cubator donated for the nursery in honor of Dr. R. L. Carefoot has proven satisfactory and is being used a good deal. At least one babe was given a chance to survive when his life hung in the balance, and others have been given a better start in life. This type of incubator i& recognized as the best in use today in our hospitals. A plaque in the shape of the W.I. ensign, and in the W.I. colors, with hand-carved lettering of "For Home and Country," bears the inscription of the donor in liono" cf Dr. Carefoot to the hospital. It hangs near the nursei-y door in the waiting room on the second floor. Money talks! It teUs where your moral and financial sympathies are. It tells if you are doing your share to help others, or if you are depending on using what others work and pay for. I am sure we are all interested in our local hospital, but do you real- ize that our generosity in giving may mean that some mother's or baby's life may be spared because the doc- tor and nurse have the equipment re- quired for speed, good technique, and sufficient help and safety precau- tions? Hospital equipment has made more progress than horse-and-buggy days to modem agricultural equipment, and it is human life that is at stake in the hospitals. You may have fine homes, cars, and all that money can buy, but what is it worth if the life of some one near and Ziu- to UE is r2crifi?ed because we neglected our duty to the sick? Sick- ness and suffering know no boundar- ies, no creed, no color, nor age limit. All denominations and organizations should work to improve oiu: hospitals. Stop and think what it would mean if any mother or babe died for lack of care â€" not carelessness of doctor, or nurse or friends, but ours for not making it our business to provide pro- tection. And it is my duty to direct vour attention to this need. Our maternity department has much room for improvement in its eqiup- inent. and 1 feel that the Centre Grey Women's Institutes would do well to make a special effort here. If it were possible for «ie to demonstrate the difference in the protection this e- quipment provides â€" labor saved, more efficient care possible by the doctor and niu-seâ€" I know you would Th^ Late John Thompson A former resident of Qsprey Town- ship pas&ed away at his home neai Agincourt, ou Wed., March 16, in the pir.-ion of Mr. John Thomson.

This same type of table with super additions used in many modern maternity hospitals costs $1,020, and, with extras, $1,522. But the $699.50 type would give adequate service here. And for light, "Lumin- aire," a safe heat, color and shadow controlled model used in obstetrical and surgical operating rooms costs from $300 to $700, according to tlie size and installation. These are two outstanding needs and also less ex- pensive but necessary pieces of equip- ment. As the hospital receives a substan tial discount, also there are grants allowed on certain things, we would do well to order through our secre- tary, T. Stewart Cooper, by giving a cash donation and have the most suitable material ordered for us These are a few pracUcal reasons for having modern equipment in the Centre Grey General Hospital. We need it so that we may have our sick cared for near home by the family doctors. , i a J If we are going to raise the standai'd of our hospital, we must have equip- ment approved by the Ontario Hospi- tal Association. Here our rates are very reasonable â€"about half the cost of many city hospitals. Then, too, our city hos- pitals are filled and have a waiting list for special care and treatment ; not advisable in small hospitals. We woud be wise to look to furnishing oxu 'hospital to meet the general demand. 1 feel we need more public and semi-private beds, rather than pri- vate wards. Have you considered that our pre-paid hospital care groups are for standard or semi-private care, and that we would receive more beneflts if treatment equipment were installed rather than private wqrds furnished, which we would have to pay extra to use? The hospital board is making a drive to raise $8,000 for the equipment recommended by the hospital inspec- tor, and I feel that the Women's In- stitute branches in Centre Grey will make a generous contribution in cash, and also you may give much-needed service in assisting in various way*â€" (1) Canning, preserving, and pick- ling.
