In 1906 the people of St. Andrews Presbyterian (United) Church cleared the debt from their church building building through the efforts of the Women's societies. At the meeting to celebrate the event Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin who occupied the chair suggested that all the women's organizations organizations might join in a non-den- ominational project for the benefit of the community. ■ There were three main needs a business girls club, a Y.W.C.A, and a hospital. A vote was taken at Simcoe' Methodist (United) Church. The result was a decision to build a hospital. An auxilary of ninety ladies was formed. A door to door canvass was begun to raise $1,000.00 dollars. dollars. Two and a half acres were purchased. In 1909 the contract was given to build the hospital in the centre of the grounds. On August 13, 1910 the hospital was opened. Three thousand miles away the funeral of Florence Nightingale Nightingale took place. This was rather a strange co-incidence. Gifts of money, groceries and furniture were received. It was a sixteen bed hospital.

"We (the Progressive Conservatives) Conservatives) have a general feeling of relief that at long last the government has realized that the economic situation in this country is terrible and it's going to get worse before it gets better," Mr. Allan Lawrence, M.P. Northumberland and Durham said in an interview from his Ottawa office. Although Mr. Lawrence objects to the details of the Federal government's government's new wage and price control, he will support the legislation. Mr. Lawrence agrees to the controls in principle but he feels that they are too late and that the federal government is going about the restraints in the wrong way. The Durham M.P. feels that the new program presented by the Federal government "is nothing like the Conservative Conservative program brought out two years ago. If our program had been applied then, the situation now would be improving," improving," Mr. Lawrence stated. stated. The Conservatives proposed proposed a 90 day freeze system which would have had a chance to iron out exemptions and problems before longterm longterm restraints were applied. Mr. Lawrence stated that there are too many areas that the government did not consider, consider, which will result in exemptions. "I'm not sure the restraints will be as applicable to prices as to wages," Mr. Lawrence stated. "We would have set up a better system to control prices than the government has done." The provinces will co-operate co-operate with the Federal government government in trying to apply the controls to fight inflation, the local M.P. feels. $43,600 LIP grant for Soper Creek Park The Soper Creek Flood Plain is going to be turned into a park through a Local Initiatives Program (LIP) grant given to the Bowmanville Bowmanville Jaycees by the federal government.

"I would like to see an official opening May 24," Mr. Robinson said. Christmas cakes Believe it or not, it really is time to start thinking about Christmas cakes. Food specialists specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food tell us there is a good deal more to a good Christmas cake than the recipe. There are two distinct types of Christmas cakes, the dark, rich cake with seeded raisins, nuts and lots of fruit with very little batter, and the cakier, light version with golden raisins,, almonds, and fruit in smaller quantities and that is light in color. Fruit cakes need to be "aged" to let the full flavor and moistness of the fruits go through the entire mass. Make dark cakes no later than Mid-November and the light ones 3 to 4 weeks before Christmas. Start collecting your ingredients now to avoid last minute substitutions. The ingredients used in making the cakes must be fresh, especially the nuts, since the cakes are stored for such long periods before eating. The candied fruit sold in large -fitoces provides a fresher flavor than the finely chopped ones. The extra time required to chop the fruit is usually well worth the effort. The ideal storage location for fruit cakes must be dark, cool and dry. Wrap the cakes well in aluminum foil, for added flavor and moistness, first wrap them in cheesecloth soaked in port or brandy, then in aluminum foil.
