No longer are your rural dactons in the horse-and-buggy stages. We are endeavoring ta give aur patients the best in medical cane that can be pravided for themn by advanced know- ledge and advanced facilities. It is no longer neccssany ta take the risks with patients' lives that at anc time wcre the order ai the day. Surgcry periarmed on the kitchen table saved many lives but also lost many lives that could have been saved in hospital. Maternity work dane in the home has taken its tal ini mothers' lives and babies' lives that was nat at all necessary. Sa, you sec that the lendency cames framn the public itseli, a naturai demand by them for more protection, through the medium ai more bosuitai cane and better hospital cane. This demand is felt in the rural aneas as wcll as the town areas and is in no small way one ai the causes fan the overcrawded condi- tions at Bowmanville Hospital taday. Duning this past wan, sa iresh in aur memories, it was found necessary ta move the well-equipped hospital right into the front lines with its facilities for instant sungery, blaad trans- fusions, fracture setting and many other functions necessary ta early emergency treatment on the spot. Untald lives were saved in this way, and in your awn community many lives now lost could be saved by having, on the spot, a hospital large enaugh ta accommodate all the patients needing its services - and equipped well enough with modern laboratories and x-ray ta take cane ai any emengency. The need in Bowmanville for a new hospital is real and is felt ahl through the country surrounding Bawmanville. Many ai my patients bave had ta be tnansportcd in a hurry ta Oshawa and Toronto hospitals, when the work shauld have been donc on themn as close ta home as possible, and could have been donc here if the accommodation or facilities had been better. Our rural people will be cantributing ta your building iund as heavily as passible, bath as a personal duty and as a municipal duty, so we ask you ta pass your necessary by-law on the 24th. Wc will help you in your building fund as wc have helpcd in your Hospital Auxiliany in the past. C. J. AUSTIN, M.D.C.M. New Hospital Training School for Nurses I am thoraughly in agreement with the letters which have been written by my canfreres showing the necessity for a new baspital, except for the one covering the x-ray. This I must question because I feel we shauld endeavor ta give a truc pictune ai the situation. In my opinian the new x-rayequipment would be a great convenience but would not increase mucb the x-ray work that could be donc here. This machine would permit us ta set some fractures under direct vision and wauld take perhaps ane an twa fracture pictures a year that we have had difiiculty with in the past. It wauld nat ikcly permit ai any appreciable amount ai gastro-intestinal work being donc here because a large part ai that work is the interpretation ai the pictures and observation under the screen which can only be adequately donc by an expert. Perhaps Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanvulle district can support anc at Oshawa. Doctors in Bowmanville have had bath heavy and portable equipmen, for years, aid naw, but quite serviceable. The reason the heavy is not in the haspital is that there is not a noom ta put it in or an elevator ta take the patient up or down. We have had ta lug the portable from floon ta floor and set it up. A new hospital would permit of us having a training sehool for nurses. Your difficulties in getting nurses during the last few years bave been great but we have came tbrough, thanks largely to the girls trained here in the past. If they are not neplaced soon 1 do not know what wc will do. Girls are nat going ta take a three-year course in a big hospital and neturn here to work with antiquated equipment, in an old firetrap, and lug a stretchen up and down stairs, sametimes with a 200 lb. patient, at wages that are lcss than an unskilled workman in aur factonies. That is -a fact-a registered graduate nurse in aur haspital does not get as much as a floor sweeper in aur fac- taries. How mucb longer are they gaing to do s0 on the pleading af the Supenintendent ta be loyal ta their profession? Our Hospital Board, Ladies Auxiliany and Supenintendent have cannied an daing the best they can but they can't "make a silk punse out af a sow's car". I am dclighted that aur Council has put the question right up ta the people ta decide. If the by-law is defeated let nat the apposers camplain if they shauld not be able ta get a nurse or tbey or theins injured on the stairs on caugbt in a fire. V. H. STOREY, M.D. Fire Hazard ToId by Head Nurse Bawmanville needs more bed space in a modern hospital to cane ion the sick ai the community. The following figures fnom the annual reports on bospitals shawing the percentage ai beds accupied will bear me out: 1938-53.5; 1940-69.1; 1941-75.2; 1942-99.6; 1943-94.8. The figures fan 1944 bave nat reached this office at the time ai writing. As well as the need for beds there are other needs as follows: (1) Electric elevatar; (2) Focd elevator; (3) Laboratony facilities; (4) Isolation units, should a patient nequire ta be isolated tjmporanily; (5) Isolation nursery; (6) More space for Our nursery sa that modern facilities may be installed ta coriiorm ta the standards set by the Ontario Department ai Health; (7) Fire protection. The set up as it now exists is a fine hazard and I hope to make this dlean ta the home awner sa that he may recagnize the public responsibility. In due respect I must thank the Hospital Board in office, the Wamen's Auxiliary with their willing aid, the efficient, co- aperative medical stauf and Mns. Florence Smyth who, thnaugh the yeans, laboned faithfully ta mýaintain a baspital ai good repute. My most earnest viish and the wish ai my entire staff is te sec a building program worthy of Bowmanvillc and Durham County, where the sick may be cared for with a bigh standard ai efficiency.
