Dear Mr. Editor:-- Recent discoveries in medical science have called attention to the great service rendered by an up-to date hospital through facilities pro vided for research. Probably few laymen appreciate the amount of this work = conducted under the auspices of . the Hospital . for Sick Children. Yet it is only by intensive study of the causes of children's diseases that the hospital staff has been able to establish a world famous record for cures. Statistios show that the rate of infant mortal ity in this Province has been steadily decreasing, until it is now among the lowest in the world, What that means is that hundreds of Ontario parents owe their children's lives to the research work in the laboratories of the Hospital for Siok Children. Although the doctors give their services freely, the bills for equip ment add up annually to a good many thousands of. dollars. But in view of the results attained, I feel that not ome of your readers will cavil at the money so spent, and 1 confidently venture the hope that many of them at this Christmas sea: son will wish to enrol themselves in the Hospital's campaign on behalf of Ontario's childhood. To carry on this research work there is not one cent except what comes in from voluntary subsérip tions. For She Sate a He children oocupying hosp! ere Aare certain statutory grants, but these represent scarcely more than halt what the Hospital needs. Last year, for instance, the Hospital doctors looked after an average of 253 in- patients and 192 out-patients daily. Quite a colony of ailing youngsters! And the expenditure -- although whittled down to the minimum com- mensurate with efficiency -- was $318,917. The income to the extent of at least $100,000, depends Wpom | the regard which peop! o tario have for the Hospital's work and the generosity with which they express that regard. May I ask you, Mr. Editor, to point readers out to your that siace the establishment of the Hospital Stok Children, at least more Ontario youngsters in every nundred have survived the trials ii i counts and the nature of the securi- ties (if any) held by them, and that after the day last aforesaid the said William H.

They have been presenting that comedy-- "Between the Acts." If is a play full of funny situations, picturing the his play, and the difficulties that he encountered between the acts. Dick Comfort, the hero, has a cantanker- ous old father, who must not know that Dick is married," so his wife takes the position of "maid" with Dick keeps in the good graces of the allowance. The play was given at Cadmus and at Pontypool. At Cadmus the house was crowded. Those who are in a position to know, say that this is the best play that has been given here in recent years. 5 At Pontypool the audience was not as large as at Cadmus, but it greatly appreciated the play.
