Since finanlcial contrai of hospitals was turned over ta the Ontario Hospital Services Commission il years ago the public has gradually forgotten that bas- pitals such as ours are a community respansibility. The local hospital board stili bas ta make the decisions about the sort of' care you and the members of yaur family wil receive. Unfortu- nately it is anly on rare occasions that the general pubic is sufficienitly inter- ested in haspital business to botheý,r at- tending its anniual meetings, at wh1ich they can share ini responisibility,ý The hospîtal is a vital part of tbis community - the onc place most af us can confidently expcct ta spend some time. Life was iniestimably more hazar- daus and unpleasant before this' hospital was established Fo it bebooves uýs ta give the intelligent support a good institution deserves. In case yý,ou arc fortunate enough ta be campietel 'y hetaithy, and somewhat disinterested in the importance of the hospital, iust take a look at the statis- tics publi shed in this paper each week. The emergency dcpartment alone pro- vides treatrment for several hundred accident vict ims every month. There is alsa the busy ambulance department;, the operating raom; X-ray department; blood transfusion service, physiotherapy and dozenis of ather life-sa;ving services that are provided for every persan in need. Your hospit.al is a vitally imnportant factor in the life of every man, waman and chiid in. the entîre district, Without your personal, interested support it may become just one more systematized cog in the machinery of regionai planning. - Adapted from The Wingham Advance-Times Report from OttIa wa' By Russell C.

Sugar GIVINO A SPEECH BAD AS HEARING IT Last week I mentianed making a speech ta the Vimy Branch, Canadian Legion,' and wvbat a treat it was ta be able ta get up and talk about the stu- pidity of senior officers. 1Normally, I loathe making speech- es almost as much as I dete,,st listening ta them. As a former weekly reporter-editor, a cold, wet, grey bianket cames down over my spirit at the f ateful words, "And naw, I give you aur guest speaik- Tbat's the signai. Some guest pek ers you couldn't "give" ta a sitrving graup of cannibals. I have been "given" dundcr.heads and doits, paliticians and poItroans,, pip- squeaks, pedagogues andpridts farmers and philosaphers. Not once have I been inspired, up- lifted or canvinced.

That's the receiving enmd. The deiiv- ering end is just as bad.i It foliows a fairly pat format. You are cailed up, or written ta, by the secretary of some organýization which, you've neyer beard of, and told they'd like ta have you as guest speak- er at some function you have no inter- est in, at some place you have no idea of how ta get ta. 1This is the moment ta say, laud and clear, "Thank you; 1 arn deeply hon ored, but I can't possibly make il." Any wav- ering, and you're in trouble. The professionai guest sekeand there are a few about, chooseýs that moment ta, lay down his cards. He says, "Well, I might be able ta fit that in on that date, but l'Il have ta consuit my caiendar." Hecocnsuits bis caiendar, wbich is biank for weeks. He caIls back.- "Yes, I could make it.

Love, that is ta' ,say, bas',in il an element af compulsion. Il is-a categorical imperative. There is an obligation ta be, kind, generous, af- fectionate. Does flot this seem at first ta sîrike a discordant note? Can there be compulsion in affection? Can you prefix the words "Thou shait" ta the great word "Lave"? You cannot take a boy and shake bim and say: "You must love your par- ents, you must kneel down and tell God you lave Him."l Is there flot in one 's affections an essential quality of span- taneily, and wh-e-n anc regards tbem as obligations, daes he ual rab tbe-m of the-ir fragrance and cbarm? Ail this seems plausible enougb, until anc remembers the teacbing of Je-sus cancerning t*ic place of the will in the formation of -charae-r. His prim- ary appeal is nat ta the- re-ason or the e-motions, but ta the will. Obed.tence is, ta ,Iesus, the organ of spiiul know- ledge. "If any nman w,,iii do iis wili, he shahl know of the doctrine,." Much of the unge-ne-ous oIveie-ss- ness of ljife procceds,>not fromi essential repulsion or irresistible convictioî,n, but from the failure ta apply the wýill ta lave. A busband and wife promise ta love each other, but they make- no ef- fort of. the will toward the maint en ance aI lave, and driftapart, unlil af a sud- de-n a home is ruine-d, A man feels sulky and out of spirits as he riscs 'in the marning, and excuses himse-lf foc this attitude towacd the world as lbough il were qtile impossible ta be friendly in FJRST REAL LOVE Have- you e-ver be-en, yel stili in your te-e-ns?

Capital and labor fli m a passion, and il does flot occur ta themr ta apply their wills ta reconciliation. The very love of Gad is allen ôb- scured fromn a human soul, ual by ati echipse af thcology or philosopby, buit simply be-cause the soul doe-s ual applv ils own will ta open its own eyes. "Thoti shaît love," says Je-sus. Sympalhy, ap- preciation, magnanimity, are not luxure ies, but obligations. You have no right ta be- sulky, suspîciaus, lovele-ss. Apply the will to Ihe affections. You may bts calie-d la be- unhappy, but you are neyer called ta be lovcless. The f irstduty af the maruing is la begin the day witb a be-art cie-an of aniîmasity and repraacb.
