Since its modest beginning it has heen expanded and improved until--within the limitations of the build- ing--it is one of the finest units of its type anywhere. Recoghizing that many people may never have had the opportunity to see what is available in the way of service at the hospital, the board has extended an invitation to the public to inspect the hospital on the Annual Hospital Day next Sunday. This is an oppor- tunity for everyone who is interested to see just what the present hospital has to offer and a large number of the public will undoubtedly wish to avail them- selves of the priv A HALF DAY OF REST When a young man selects the practice of medi- cine he does so with the knowledge that this choice means sacrifices on his part which are not demanded in other professions. Subject to call at all hours of the night, constantly required to make decisions which mean the difference between life and death, a doctor must at all times be prepared-to call upon his exper ence and training for the right decision. This requires an alert mind and plenty of energy at all times. It is therefore most reasonable that one of the first acts of the newly formed Medical association was to discontinue Saturday afternoon and evening office hours. Prior to. this our doctors' week was a seven-day one--for house calls must he made on Sunday... They say the "cobbler's children usually need shoes," and most of us have been told by our doctor, "You're working too hard. Relax--take some time off." It would look as if at last our doctors are going to-take some of their own good advice. The new plan will also be of advantage to the public. One doctor will be available every weel-end to look after all emergency calls. Sometimes in the past it has not been possible to immediately secure a doctor on Saturday night. There will now always he one available to answer these sudden calls. It is to be hoped that the golf handicaps of. our medical men will be lowered by the end of this sum- mer, but whether they are or not, we wish them an enjoyable half day of rest. AN EXCELLENT CHOICE The selection by the Liberal convention of Dr. Murray Deans to represent the party in.the-coming = Dproyincial election is a happy choicé. Ability is need- ed in Queen's Park more today than ever before. That Murray Deans has ability in public office is -known to everyone. His record as mayor of Oakville is one that is still used as a yardstick against which to mea- sure those who preceded him and those Who have and will follow after. He is a member of the Oakville= Trafalgar High School Area board, serves with un- selfish service on Red Cross committees and other charitable organizations. He has been a friend to many, and is a credit to his profession. of dentist. We feel that Conservatives and Liberals alike will feel that in Dr. Murray Deans this county would have a public-spirited, capable and aggressive man to watch their interests in Queen's Park should he win the election on June 7th. WIV, JI JI 7% Ln Te By Bessie Cairns TO HEEL! Oakville is such a doggy town it's unfortunate that more people didn't turn out last week to the Humane society annual meeting. to see the technicolor movie "How: to Train Your Dog." The com- bination of a choke chain, a nim- ble knee and that certain look on your face can change Fido from a bouncing pup to a perfectly mannered canine; one who heels, stops, sits, and speaks at a lift of the hand or a word of com- mand. According to the trainer, your pet should reflect the intelli. gence of the owner. I squirmed about then as I remembered my two dogs who followed me unin- vited to afternoon teas and at a word of command | . . do exactly as they please. It's a case of cobblers' children With us and I still blush when I recall the time, after a hunt meet, that one of our dogs made the dining room before the guests and! we arrived just in time to' rescue a ham from the buffet. Joking 'aside, there is a great deal of satisfaction in having a well-trained pet and a lot fewer headaches. If you get another chance to see the picture, don't miss it. feta A LAUGH AND A BOMB J. V. McAree redressed his read- ers recently for spending too much time reading magazines. Too much time may also be spent reading ' columns, but who am I to argue that point? However, when two short statements from one magazine can give you a laugh for a week and a thought for -the future, I think something is gained. To quote from last weelk's' Time . . a description of Katharine Hepburn; "Hepburn's affection of talking like a woman, trying sim- ultaneously to steady a loose den- tal brace, sharply JHmits -her range of expression" . . . I love it. From historian Arnold Toyn- bee's "Ciivlization on Trial" . . "Only one thing can now prevent one world; the destruction of all our major civilizations by the atom bomb." ..". And what better authority ? . sexes ZULU WIFE _ The pigmies of Africa stand the best chance of survival against the atom bomb, according to Toynbee . . . canit get away from that man, I know as much about the native Africans as I.do about the early inhabitants of the Nile Valley. The latter I always think of as having no third' dimension, the former as going to the other extreme with their protruding tummies, I was therefore inter- ested in the tale by Margaret Hubbard of Christina, the first C- G-SECORD.

Christina was a product of mission schools, her husband a pagan. For a short -time her wedded life was happy but when Solomon decided to import wives and concubines by the score and ordered her to make bed mats for them her faith in love and' mar- riage dwindled. But Christina was no movie queen and it was only after further indignities that she decided to divorce him. The story of a Zulu woman seems a far cry from: election discussions of -cock- tail lounges in Ontario, but after her divorce she supported herself as a bootlegger.

TEEN TOWN | TEEN TOWN | By Bruce Squires Hi eyerybody! Teen Town's all in a hurry to get ready for those plays tonight and everyone is pitching in to help. week I've never people studying so hard for those plays and you can imagine the trouble they can't answer a question or haven't got their homework done because they've been to a play practice or were studying in a class. after tomorrow night and every- thing will be as usual. and get those tickets if you have not got them yet 'cause the plays are really worth seeing. « ~ Last Thursday we had a coun- cil meeting and a couple of by- laws were passed. First: ing to all smokers) Teen Town members will be smoke This by-law is on condition that the smoking is not carried into the hall. bottles can not be taken into the hall out of the. canteen. spilled means a sticky spot and it is rather uncomfortable on the heel of someone's shoe. all is that you had better get your membership cards in a hurry be- cause the mayor is clamping down on the door and adhering to the' old policy of not allowing out- siders in unless they are guests of , someone else or memberships to other clubs, as of last Thursday, so get those membership cards. This last seen so many it's causing them when Anyway, that's all over So hurry (a bless- permitted to in the ante-room only.

FOR THE SAKE OF FREEDOM | Contributed by Angela Bruce Chapter [:0:D.E. Can the women of Ontario afford to be indiffer- ent while tliey still have their privilége to exercise their franchise, when the menace of the communist is threatening as never before in our history? The-vote of the women represents more than 50 per cent of the eligible vote of the country. Statistics reveal the alarming fact that seldom more than 30 per cent of the voters in Canada use this privilege. 'Under a communistic system. Canadians would he subject to a rigidly tyrannical control of every detail pertaining to every-day life. Communism preaches the overturn of the government by force--it stands for destruction of political freedom and compels ohe- dience to party line. Complacency in the face of this evil can not be tolerated. If we do not choose to elect out freedom we do not deserve to enjoy it. By exer- cising our franchise we guard our individual liberty.
