0an4b xrnt ""Durham Cotqnty's Gjreat Family Journal" VOLUME 96 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 3th, 1950 6c PER COPY With the sky less sullen and cloud-laden and the temper:r climbing into the forties, tthe building season bas emerged from the inactivity of winter. Work on the new Memorial Hospital Bowmanvilie, bas been going on, snow or sub-zero weather, for the past six weeks. But the gang of workers have increased and the operations have been extended in the past few days. Supervisor Les. McGee states * that the T-shaped excavation bas been completed and most of the concrete footings bave been laid. The footings on the east, or small, h n ave been completed, and %of the footings have been id 7for the major wing ta the west. Excavations were temporarily siowed up by the sub-zemo wea- tber wbich arived during the latter part of February and the early part of March. The severe weather was toa great a strain on the starting motors of tbe Diesel power shovel and the tractor. Some delay was experienced while tbe operators awaited the arrivai of new motars ta replace those burnt out. For the past ten days the spring thaw bas hampered the construc- tion activities. The excavation bas required continuai pumping, and the laborers bave been siasb- ing around in foot-tbick mud. The mud is particulamly gooey due ta the high content of dlay. Material is arriving daily for the production of reinforced con-I crete. Steel bars are being un- ioaded at tbe north end of the grounds fom Queen Street. Piles of lumber for the concrete frames are held in readiness for the pouring. It is expected that the foundation walls will soon be erected. Masonry work is under way on the east wing, with four brick- layers busy on the job. Mr. Mc- Gee hopes ta have a total of six or seen masans womking by the end of next week. He believes that if he maintains a good brick- laying staff he wil bave little difficulty with the construction. The present crew will form a good nucleus for the intended number.

The east wing wiii be the ob- stetrical section, including wards, delivery rooms and a creche.

The matter of an addition was bought up at the January session and at a special meeting iast montb, following the poposal of Deputy-Reeve G. F. Jamieson, of Bowmanville, that the aid Bow- manvilie bospitai building be ex- amined with the view of using it as a building to bandie the overflow o! inmates fram the counties' homes. Council went into 'the proposai. However counicil ieamned from the Ontario Department o! Weifare that the gavernment was not appmoving, aid buildings for that pumpase and at the second special session beid Monday, tbe counties' counicil went up ta the counties' borne and looked it over and then re- sumed their session. Some members o! the couincil expressed the opinion that an ad- dition ta the counties' home was nat necessary. Reeve Ted Wood- yard, o! Clarke Township toid the counicil that he had read in the Municipal Institutiond Act, than in a case o! a United Coun- ties setup, one county couid not vote in fa';or o! the expenditure o! manies exciusiveiy in the other county. The counties' solicitor, Alan Field, gave his opinion that this diei not apply ta a counties' home as sucb an institution xvas not confined ta one county in its scope. A resolution o! Reeve Art Wartman, o! Percy Township, seconded by Reeve H. I. Allen, o! Camahe, recommended that the tender o! the Unionville con- tractor be accepted for the new addition. The resolution was de- feated. In the discussion whicb pre- ceded the vote, Deputy-Reeve A. Beer o! Manvers said that build- ing costs were fluctuating and there was a trend taward lower prices. He feit that new tenders shouid. be cailed for the June session. ".About the only things that are going down any. as far as 1 can see, are the prices we farmers are getting for aur produce," cammented Wamden Bruce Jan- dew. Deputy-Reeve Jamieson s ai d that be doubted if the heating systemn in the present building would bandie the ioad o! a new addition. He said he would lîke to see it inspected ta find out for sure. ' The counties' cierk me- plied that once the houler was altered, the Depatment wouid insist that it be housed in a sep- amate building. 'There you are then. You will bave ta bave a separate building," commented Deputy-Reeve Jamie- sen. "The best tbing is ta re-open the whoie matter and cail for new tenders," said Reeve N. Ailison, of Bowmanviile. The warden said be would like ta see it started as soon as pos- sible. If left until June, it wauld n-.ý g it into fali. The warden-said tha if tbe Department stamted exerting contmols aver the homes in which aid people were beîng qur- "ered, it might resuit in more being sent ta the counties' home. He said th' - he had been told that in Toronto oid age pensioners were given private accomodation of a natur'e in which they didn't get enaugh ta eat. Reeve G. A. Walton, of New- castle, asked the council if, in the evcnt the addition were not built, wouid the present building be brought up to standard. The wardcn epied that it would be difficuit ta decide that at this stage He said that if the matter of an addition were abandoned now, the architects wouid think the counicil was thick in the head as $5,500 aiready had been spent on plans, etc. Reeve Woodyard recommended that council decided first if it wanted an addition before cali- ing for new tenders. On motion it was laid aver until the June session and new tenders are ta be called for.

Durham Club of Toronto Close Season With Address by Major J. Foote, V.C. And a Delightful Musical Prog. amme (by Aleen Aked) On Tbursday evening, March 23, along witb Spring came the Durham Ciub's best attended and last meeting a! the seasan. Major John Foate, V.C., Dur- ham County's representative in the Ontario Legisiature and Com- missianer o! the Liquor Control Board, spoke very earnestly of the diffîculties o! the liquar ques- tion. He mentioned that in try- ing ta cure the disease o! alcohol, (excessive drinking was realiy a disease and alcoholîcs were really people who xvere trying ta doctor themselves without any outside belp), one must not try ta remake people over in a day but should look ta the future with great ideals, and tbrougb educatian, es- pecially that o! the cburcb, and tbraugb social pressure, raise the standar~d o! public bebaviaur sol that eacb generation will takel steps fomward. The study o! this problemn had taken hirn ta Great Britain, Den- mark. Norway, Sweclen, France and the U.S.A. He found the same deep rooted problem bad been in these cauntries for gen- erations. I England, that interesting character, the landiord o! the public bouse, (whose business often banded from father ta son) knew all bis customers so weii and tried ta keep the tenure of his 'pub' onifortable and ane of relinement, thus setting a stan-1 dard for social behaviaur. France had set the custom o! drinking gond liglit table wines 1 vhôse aicoholic contents weme low. Denmark had the sale of »liquor frc and open and by im- 1porting good liqueurs established »the custorn o! drinking wine 1alc'ng \with meals. The Danisb govemnmcent through empbasizing the education o! ;port, music and art had tried ta build up a me- placement for excessive drink- ing. Conrnecticut had tackled its alcoholic pmoblemn by establishing six clinics as centres for scien- tific study hy the hcst psycbia- trists and doctors and had worked out the bc'st state laws in the U.S.A. for the contrai of alcohol- îcs. "~Figures don't lie, but liars can figuire,' bumorously said Major Foote, with a twinkle in bis eye. ýOut o! 1,200 peopIt arrested fan drunkedness. 1,000 were classed as unhappy; these were mostly in the poorest paid worker group; often badly housed; not doing creative work or any work ta their liking and as an escape drowvned their troubles in alco- bol. As an indication of the as- sociation between religion and happiness, a recent Gallup poli taken in a cross section o! the country showed the happy 90% had a religious faith and the mis- erable 1l',, had no faitb at ail.
