L. Mitch- ell, has recently been delvîng in- to the history of the present hos- pital and the following account is the result of his research. It is believed the public will be much interested in the story which will be continued to arouse pub- lic appreciation of the need, for funds for the new Memorial Hos- pital, the drive for which takes place in Bowmanville, March 15, 1947. Public Meeting The origin of Bowmanville Hospital was an idea of a number of public minded citizens who appreciated the need of such an institution. A public meeting was called March 22, 1912, just 35 years ago, at which Dr. Bruce Smith, Toronto, outlined the ad- vantages of a local hospital and defined its general operation. At the meeting Mayor Dr. S. C. ,Hillier, stated that a citizen, J. W. Alexandeý, had offered to buy and hand over the property known as South Park in which was a home known as the old' Beith house. The property Was pur- chased for the sum of $4,600 and subsequently transferred. Ladies' Raise Funds On the following March 26, a meeting arranged for a public canvass to raise $5,000 for equip- ment of the hospital. Misses Allin and Fairbairn and Mesdames Mc- Clellan, Warnica, Davis, Moriarty, Kavanaugh, Martyn, McCready, Tilley and Hazlewood, captained the ladies' teams and 6,203.53 was raised. 0f this sumn $4,482 had been expended by the time the hospital was opened. The can- vass was made on a single after- noon of March, 1912, and, church bells and factory whistles were sounded every haîf hour during the drive. First Board On July 12, the first Hospital Board was elected, J. W. Alex- ander, J. B. Mitchell, Mr. Mor- iarty, C. Rehder and J. H. H. Jury, who became the first pres- ident. John Lyle became secre- tary and F. J. Mitchell, treasurer. A Lad-les' Auxiliary was then formed and has continued to func- tion with great assistance to this day, with new members taking their places as years rolled by. 1 Doctors The local d'octors practising at ýhe time the hospital çpened were1 Drs. Hazlewood, Tilley, Clark,1 Beith and Hillier. Miss Mable Bruce became the first Superin- tendent Jan. 28, 1913. Miss Is- abella Moore xvas the first head nurse and Miss Olive Troxeil was night superintendent. Official Opening The hospital was officially op- ened March 28, 1913, by Sir John Gibson, K.C.M.G., K.C., LLD., Lieut.-Governor of Ontario. He was accompanied by Lady Gibson and Dr. Bruce Smith, and Mayor Hiler delivered the address of welco me.E A motion of thanks to the local1 press for free publicity was car-f ried at a subsequent meeting and the present Board of 1947 extends the same appreciation to Editor Geo.

Many a discouraged person wouid become a better citizen if given the hand of friendship, not only in a mone- tary way but also extend to hlm an understanding and helping friendship. Canadians, by developing and co-operating, can make Canada a land of which to be proud and her citizens will be of the highest type and continue to be worthy of this new status, 'Canadian Cit- zenship," which the government has recently conferred. Mrs. C. Johns proposed. the vote of thanks and Mrs. Levett and her group served refreshrnents, and a social hall hour was much enjoyed.

The first baby born in the hos- pital was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Cameron, and the first operation was performed by the late Dr. Robert Clark. The Staff Mrs. F. Smyth of Morrisburg was engaged as Superîntendent, September, 1915, and acted in that capacity until 1941. A consider- able number of capable nurses graduated under her instruction and of these Miss Clatworthy, Miss Lockhart and Miss Gay have continued as members of the staff. Miss E. Tombs was the first nurse graduated in April, 1916. The same yeer a new laundry room was added to the hospital equipment. In 1917 Chas. H. Mason was ap- pointed secretary to the Hospital Board and most efficiently per- formed the duties of that office until his death in 1943. He was always keenly interested in the work of the hospital and for 26 years was a mainstay in its ad- ministration. Citizenship Talk At Women's Institute Highly Informative Several faithful members of the Women's Institute braved a stormy afternoon, and icy side- walks to attend, the January meet- ing held Thursday afternoon in the Parish Hall. President Mrs. L. S. Dumas presided and fine re- ports were received, from com- mittees. A penny sale will be sponsored in March and a De- partment Lecturer will be present on, April 15 to give an add.ress on Personality and Dress. Tyrone, Hampton, Solina and Mapie Grove Institutes will be invited to, hear this speaker. Mrs. Josephi Levett presided for the program when readings presented by Mrs. C. Curtis and Miss Patsy Ann Smith were much enjoyed. Mrsý. S. E. Werry, Dis- trict President, was unabie to be presenýt on account of the snow- filled roads to, give hier address, 50 Mrs. J. Thickson substituted and gave an informative talk on Citizenship. hIn her opening remarks the speaker outlined the need for al- teration of the Citizens'hip Act so that residents of Canada could, be classified as Canadian Citizens. She explained the qualifications required to become a Canadian citizen, stressing particularly the clauses in the Act which was passed on January 1, which have reference to, women. Contirruing hier talk Mrs. Thick- son mentioned severai attributes which make for better citizens and, defined citizenship as "the right ordering of our severai loy- alties." To properly deveiop a national consciousness, the speak- er said arrangements should, be made for sys'tematic study and most careful selection is needed from the sources of information so, that they will be productive of the truest constructive activ- ities and spirit. In Canada, there is the likeli- hood of an over supply of ideas which require wise leadership to form constructive progýams from this mass of information and also develop ideas which might be useful in helping the Canadian people to render public andý un- selfish service in their commun- ities, and thus not onlyý become better citizens themseives but radiate this spirit of good citi- zenship throughout their country. Our homes are of first consid- eration, as they are the centre of life for the family and the foun- dation of our most important in- stitutions. Shelter, food and- do- thing are not enough from our homes. Mental development and refreshments for the spirit should also be provided in the homes. Our schools, where the founda- tions of the children's lives are laid, should supplement home training. Great care should be exercised'in choosing teachers not only from the standpoint of edu- cational ability but also as to Newcastle: J. S. Dyer Drug Store, D. G. Walton. Hampton: G. A. Barron & Son.
