Chambres, and $2 § Oakville, : beve of Trafalgar township, H. Biggar. Chambres: Reeve Biggar, do femember an election out y with as many interest- points at issue? You mean the by- Chambres. Yes. iggar: Well, there are several oo there! Of course, we've ly the one in the township. fc the one to authorize the Boney for the hospital. We are Biting that question to our Biers on election day. Chambres: How do you feel bout it, Mr. Biggar? Biggar: The Hospital? IT ink is is one of the things most fecded in the district. Chambres: didn't really mean Be hospital, I meant the vote. I bree that there is nothing we fica more than this hospital. Biggar: Reeve Chambres, bu and 1 have been around Bese parts for a long time. br instance, I'm the third gen- ation living on our farm. And ve seen the changes coming bout in the district. As a matter fact I think youll agree that le changes ar e more startling the township than they are e town, although there has en plenty of changes there too, (Chambres: There certainly have en, and I like to see them. We fe growing up in Oakville -- Biggar: And in Trafalgar too. And it's quite a process, It needs a lot of though on the part of council, and on the part. of rate. payers. ...for instance, take this hospital. With the number of new residents there are in the town. ship, it has now got to a point where it is almost beyond a ques- tion of just wanting, I mean it is to a point where we've GOT TO HAVE it. Take a case I know personally. The mother in the fa. mily was taken ill. The doctor said she needed an operation, It wasn't such a serious operation, but she had to stay in the hospital afterwards for quite some time for treatment, Tm not just sure what the treatment was but it couldn't be done at home. That meant her husband had to go to Toronto every time he wanted to see her, and, of course, like any one, he, wanted to see her as often a$ possible. Chambres: That meant a long pull every day. iggar: Tt did, and an expen- sive one. You see, it was right in the middle of a busy time on the farm, so that meant he had to hire extra help. And he had to buy. meals in town, and pay for park- ing his car. Chambres: Don't forget gas and oil, Reeve Biggar. Biggar: And the depreciation, Reeve Chambres. You can bet a farmer would know about that, No, it wasn't easy for him and he's a man who doesnt forget. I was taking to him the other night and he's voting "Yes" on election day, and better than that he's doing a lot of campaigning for the hospital. I think he's doing some collecting to help. Chambres: That's the way it is most of the time. It's _the people who have needed a hospital, who know what it will mean to have a hospital here, those are the people who are going to vote yes. And Tl tell you this, we're going to have a large proportion of "yes" votes in Oakville. You see, we've had the temporary hospital right in town to show us what a hospital can mean--Of course, it only looked after certain cases, but we all know that if it had been equipped as the Oakville- Trafalgar Memorial Hospital is the going to be equipped it would|me have been just that much better. Biggar: You know, Reeve THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Page 7 Chambres, you and I, personal- ly, T mean, probably understand this need more than any other people could, for both of us have ad very recent experiences in Toronto and Hamilton hospitals. Chambres: I was in Toronto, Mr. Biggar. But it's true just the same. It would have meant a great deal to my family if I could have been in a hospital right - around here. But I'd be interested to know what you think about the vote in Trafal- ar? Biggar: I'm confident that it will pass, but I'd like to see the "Yes" vote so large that every- one would know that Trafalgar people realize what an opportun- ity they have at this time. You see I keep thinking about the $100,000, the Dominion and Pro- vincial governments are going to grant this hospital. That is a lot of money to have given fo us to assist in building this hospital. I wish we could have the same amount of help with our com- munity hall. Chambres: We could use it for an_ice-skaing arena. Biggar: Maybe we could sell them on the idea? Chambres: We could try. Biggar, As a matter of fact, I wonder if everyone realizes that this government grant is what makes it possible for us to have a hospital? Chambres: I don't quite _ get at, = a that. Biggar. Well, even with the grants from Oakville and Tra- falgar, and all the money the pri- vate citizens and industry is do- nating, we couldn't have the hos- pital we need if we didn't have these grants from the two gov- ernments. Chambres: Now I see, and I agree with you, we don't want, as private citizens to let that $100,000. get away from us. You know, I'm informed that a de- partment of health survey show- ed that a 50 bed hospital was the minimum size needed for this dis- trict. Don't you think that shows how we're growing out here? Biggar: Yes sir, it certainly| does. You know, Reeve Chambres, to me a hospital is like any oth- er community thing, like sewers, a community hall, yowll excuse me getting that in so often, but it's something that's awfully close to my heart too. Chambres: Tll let you have the community hall, if youll let say a word about the town question of joining the Hydro family. Biggar: Go right ahead. We in Trafalgar are members of the family, with flat rate water heaters. Chambres: Which is one of the things we'll get under Hydro. And cheaper rates too. Cheaper for the domestic user and for in- dustry. And if industry has cheaper power it will enable it to do a better job, not only for it- self but for its employees. Cheap- er power is vital. "Biggar: It certainly is, Reeve Chambres. We've had it for years and we have never regret- ted it. It's vital, as you said, just as vital as a hospital, And I want to stress to our listeners that this hospital is vital. We must have a favourable vote on elect- ion day. I believe in this hos- pital, T hope all my listeners in Trafalgar township will agree with me. Chambres: Talking of Trafal- gar listeners, I understand the power commission in Trafalgar made special arrangements not to turn off the power at this time so that your residents could hear you speak? Biggar: They did, and may I ask those- who are listening to save all the power they can? Chambres: Reeve Biggar, you and I seem to be riding a lot of our hobby-horses tonight. T mean, it seems to me we have put in a plug for nearly everything. Biggar: I guess we have, Reeve Chambres. But I'd like to end by saying again that I think the hospital is the most important question that has been put before the voters of Trafalgar township in many years and that I urge everyone one of them to vote yes for something which they might need personally at any time. Chambres. I want to add my, bit to that. T hope all Oakville residents will vote yes on election day. We need this hospital, we've got to have this hospital, we can have it if we all vote for it. I am sure we will see the bylaw carry in Oakville. Biggar: And in Reeve Chambres, Trafalgar, One night Joe came home with lipstick on his cheek. "Where did you get that?" de- manded the little woman. "Was it from my maid?" "No," Joe replied. "From the governess?" she snapped. "No," repeated Joe, "don't you think I have any friends?" TEEN TOWN By Bruce Squires Hi Everbody. Friday night we had quite a crowd at Teen Town (including three boys who might be mistaken for the '"beanery boys", and we were glad to see Pete Sutton who broke his ankle in a rugby game with Burlington, back at the Club. Pete is still on crutches but I did see him dan- cing once or twice without them, but, of course he was rather easy on his sore foot. Good to see you back in circulation again Pete. Friday night saw the second issue of Teen Town's own paper Teen Town Tales. The paper has certainly got off to a good start thanks to our editor Mike Dyer; advertising manager Doug Pirie; fashion editor Betty McFaul; Joke editor "Mouse Sneath; Gos- sip editor ???7?; Records and Movie editor Meg MacTaggart. Oh yes, and John Ross our assist- ant advertising manager. Keep up the god work gang. Well kids, the most important dance of Teen Town is coming up in a few weeks so youd better date that 'special girl" for our Christmas Formal, because it promises to be the = greatest dance ever to hjt Oakville Teen Town Town. The date and the band s still unofficial but we pressume that the dance will be on December the 14th and the band. ...well, we heard so many rumours about who will play that I think I'll wait until there is an official report. Things will probably be rath- er quiet next week owing to high school ezams, but Ill see you then to tel you all about the week's happenings. - The real difference between the movies and real life is that in the movies their difficulties arise be- fore they get married. Ice is one of the very few things which is really what its cracked up to be. HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS By Mike Dyer Well at last it has happened!! All those lucky students who are writing Christmas exams (which happens to take in the whole school) have found out when they. write their exams. These trials of mental torture begin on Mon- day, November 29. Extra-curri- cular activities will slow down for the next two weeks so that every- one can study and write the Xams. Fi PE With the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto last week many students: went in to view the fine displays. I couldn't begin to name those. people that went in, as half of the school was there threading their ways in and out of the aisles of fruit, cattle, food booths, or horse stalls. = oxox x sox x xs The bowling league began its season on Wednesday November 24, with six teams of six men each.
