most modern high way the middle road highways department officials said today that numerous favorable opin ions have been received at quens park from the motoring public on the various experiments being tried out on the new fourlane road the lighting reduces the tuuurds of nightdriving to an absolute mini mum r m smith deputy minister contended we are trying out these experiments for the benefit of motor ists and we are anxious to hear any opinions or criticisms the public niy have lighting on poles about 125 feet apart will be completed from uie i browns line to beyond the oakville bridge within a short time the deputy i minister said it will be a year r more before we can arrive at any fig- ures as to cost which is being paid out of highway improvement funds i he added for every feasible accident cause i or spot there is a large sign at the side of the road to warn the motor- i 1st of possible danger ahead accord ing to a a smith the departments chief engineer one of the latest ex- periments he said is the inlaying of tiny reflector buttons in each light pole in the centre boulevard near the base these buttons which show up clear- ly at night may be tried out on the i trunks of heavy trees in the boule vard in sets of three the buttons also are used in rows of small posts along the road shoulders indicating thepavement edge a bright yellow sodium light marks every intersection or entrance on to the highway in contrast to the con tinuous line of whtte lights at curves and approaches to railway crossings three types of warning signs stand side by side one has a background of ground glass the second has the old- type glass buttons and the third re flector buttons the engineer explain ed the type the motoring public votes as most effective will be used in the end in addition the chief engineer itat- ed flash signs with two yellow lights flashing on and off will soon mark every spot where the centre boulevard begins the yellow light at crossings is something i have never seen in canada or elsewhere mr smith said work on the extension from browns line east to the city limits will be stopped next week for the winter the deputy minister said the right-of- way has been cut through with the exception of a short stretch at the city end the test applied tknes had been hard were still hard and one preacher resorted to this method of testing the effect of the de pression period on his congregation at one of their gatherings he called on all those present who were paying their debts to stand up everyone present except one man stood up they were then requested to be seat ed the minister then asked all who were not able to pay their debts to stand up and remain standing until counted the one lone individual with facecareworn and his suit

eskimos gbow vegetables education of bttrtmoa on the rim of the greet white north in labrador to supplement their diet of meat and fish with vegetables was recalled by o sears professor of horticul ture at tbe massacbusetta state agri culture college in an interview at kentvlhe njb sir wilfred orenfeu famous foun der of the orenfell missions in labra- dor realized if disease were to be les sened among the eskimos something more was needed than the seven hos pitals which had been established so he enlisted the services of dr sears ii years ago to teach the es kimos how to grow their own vege tables thf wnrk w highly lmmfts- ful and the natives now produce their own gardens enough vegetables to last them the entire year with the possible exception of potatoes they have only three months

crops were practically negli gible good seeds were secured how ever and a greenhouse was donated fry a new england woman ve plants were raised and then set out and the results were better crops and increased interest among the na tives potato growing difficult owing to frosts was gradually increasing dr sears said from bed bay he had received a message that for the first time in tbe history of

away rrom the parade of icebergs down the coast boy leaves hospital under his own power after four long years lads parents dont pay cent for expert care and treatment i eightyearold jim has gone back to the north country after four years in the hospital for sick children toronto he walked out carrying bis own handbag four years earlier when he was hardly more than a baby bis parents made the long journey down to to ronto bringing jim with them they appeared in the outpauents clinic at the hospital for sick children and told the doctor that jim had a sore back as they do with thousands of other patients every year the doctors at the clinic gave the uttle boy a thor ough examination some of the ablest physicians and surgeons in toronto were there they took x- rays made blood teats and sec- tions and found that jim had a tubercular spine tbey look him upstaira and put him to bed while i hia father and mother stayed around for a few days and then went back op ncrth privately the doctors thought that jim had scarcely a chance to get bet- ter but they worked over him un- ceasingly turned loose all the maeic of modern medicine for four long sars while the little boy ticked off i birthdays- well it worked jim did get bet- ter and he walked out of the hoa- pital with a strong back set on two sturdy legs hes up home again in the bush country of northern on- tarlo parents didnt pay cent and because todays hospitals- are organized in an especially marvellous way jhna parents didnt pay a single cent for the four years of ex pert care and treatment his muni cipality paid the hospital tor sick children the public ward rate of 175 a day for every day the sick youngster was laid up and the on tario government paid the statutory rate of 00c but it cost the hospital at least 100 a day more than the 133 the hospital for sick chil dren invested 140000 of its own money in jims recovery they do things like that every day in the week the doctors who looked after jim for four yean donated their services as tbey are continually doing for helpless young- stars who come to them with bad tonsils poor eyes weak chests hereditary dlieaf and a hundred other ailment broken bones com in for setting babies who areni feeding properly and older children whose teeth havent been attended to since they were born are looked after the biggest men on the hospitals ataff carry on their daily clinic in the morning diagnose troubles and give the delicate operations and care to those who are already hi hospital last year for instance tbe highly physicians and surgeons on the staffof the hospital for sick time put a value on it say 800 an hour which is too uttle and you hare more than 300000 worth of medical services given eway la a single hospital host of public wards joseph bower superintendent of the hospital listened alertly to the question how about it now dont the doctors and hospital make some of this back from the private patient who can afford to pay would it be news he asked that out of the 434 beds in the hos pital for sick children 414 are in public wards we had 9000 patients last year and less than five per cent of these were private patients we are a public hospital and like every public hospital we are re quired by law to accept any patient who comes to our doors in need of treatment we give them everything they need and its not unusual for the hospital to furnish from 300 to 400 worth of serum to a single pa tient suffering from pneumonia whatever the cost to us we get only our regular allowance of kl33 a day per patient some serums are given free to tbe hospitals by the provincial depart ment of health the others not on the free jlat must be paid for its pretty obvious then that the hospital has to make up its operat ing loss some other way this la the reason for the regular annual appeal to humane and chari table citizens for donations the outpatients clinic was crowd ed by 930 this morning waiting room and corridors were filled with parents and children from infants to adolescents several hundred come here every day many from outside toronto of all tbe hundreds of fathers and mothers who brought in their ailing youngsters a few who could paid 50 cents there might be bills a little higher for xray and other special work but the majority paid less and many nothing at al look closely into the heart ot the hospital for sick children and youll find not only kindness and superb skill but an organization that la almost unique in the world it is a childrens hospital for everyone in ontario drawing its patients from every municipality even to the farth est corners of the province 100000 visits a year there is no statutory provision for establishing an outpatients de partment in any hospital said mr bower but municipalities through out the province have come to real ize tbe importance of our outpa tients department since a very large proportion of the patients treated there would otherwise be occupying beds in the hospital and that would result in a much increased financial load for the municipalities so there la one reason for the size of the great dally cllaic which hunts out the ills of thousands of young sters and results is upwards ot 100000 visits a year the hospital for sick children does not share in the funds collected by the toronto federation for com munity service because patients are admitted from all over ontario over 8sjd0tum is needed this year to meet the unavoidable deficit even small gifts are not only wel comed and appreciated but are the hospitals assaranee from the people of ontario that they should continue tbe great work ot serving sick and crippled ehueren without regard aa tour gttt should be maosd to the appeal secretary the h for stdtchndrea st c
