The Hospital 'Meeting The meeting called at the Port Perry Library, on Thursday evening last week, by the Board of Governors, of the Memorial Hospital, Port Perry, was well attended. It was represent- ative gathering. of men and: women from the district. The reeves from the three townships were present-- . Thos. Harding, Reach; Wilfred Bowles, Cartwright; Edrl Heayn, Scugog, and Reeve Hayes, of Port- Perry. "Mr. Herbert Brooks; Vice-Chairman of the Board of Governors, acted as chairman, and-gave an outline of what the Board had done from the time the] hospital was taken over to the time of closing, and some of the difficulties they had to face. ~~ Mr. C. C. Jeffrey gave a resunte of the business of the hospital; how the money was raised, the expense to date and an estimated deficit of $4,000, He also gave percentages -he .thought to be a fair share for each municipal- Every person at the meeting sovined to be of the opinion the hospital should The big questions were finance, and how it could be made a public hospital in order to get the government grants. Recently the Hon. Mr. Kelly, Min- - ister of Health for Ontario, along with others from the Pepartment of Health, visited the hugpital and have since ex- plained some of the necessary alter- ations to bring the hospital up to a standard where the government grants could be obtained. 'One of the first and necessary steps would be to appoint an architect and have plans made for the necessary alterations, These plans must be made for a minimum of eight beds on -the ground floor; a new wing to be built for an operating room. The -heating plant must be changed, and more - ganitary conveniences made available. y expressing their opinions the N of the municipalities were sure "their councils would again back the 'project. Drs. Rennie and Dymond spoke briefly on the subject, as did Mr, Roy Cornish, Public School Prin- cipal; Mrs. H. R. Archer, president of 7 ¢ Nurses' Auxiliary; Mr, G. Christie, anchester; Mr, Ashenhurst, Reach; Tr. James Owen expressed the opinion that the Board should make more use of their representatives 'in the Pro- vineial and Dominion parliaments. A resolution was finally passed ex- pressing the wish of the meeting. that the present Board carry on and get , estimates of cost of the necessary al- terations necessary to bring the hos- pital up-to the standard requirements. A meeting of the Board of Gov- ernors - followed the public meeting, ' and the necessary steps are being | taken to get plans for the necessary alterations. ~~ . Here are some opinions expressed in connection with other. hospitals that are being built or extended. "A "modern community just can't operate without a modern hospital" says John Mitchinson of Oakville, ¢ Iris Morey, 'of Barrie, said *Jt mens éverything to a community." In Orillia, Paul A. Copeland, said "I don't know what it was like before we had a hospital but all I can say it it- must' have heen terrible." Wingham hds its new hospital and one of the 'Board says, "if anybody thinks they doy need a hospital they're wrong" ~~ ; py From.Goderich comes the quotation, "We 'serve the entire community with one of the most modern hospitals in Western Ontario and we regard it as indispensible.". hie E. M. Harold, Paris thinks a local hospital -is better for the patient and for the family of tlie Pistiont and for the doctor.

A PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9th, 1948 Shirley Couple are Honored by their Friends About 100 friends and relghbrars of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hocken gathered at their home recently to wish them success and happiness in their new home, as they have sold their farm and are moving to Port Perry. A very enjoyable evening was spent in pro- gressive euchre, arranged and con- ducted by Mrs. Ivan Mountjoy and Earl Tummonds. Henry Mahaffy had the high score for gentlemen and Miss Flossie Spencer was high lady, each receiving a fine prize. At the close of play, the guests as- sembled in the living room where Earl Tummonds read the following address to Mr. and Mrs. Horld Hocken: We, your neighbours and friends, have gathered here this evening to show, in word and deed, our good wishes for your happy future and to express our appreciation of your neighborly spirit as it has shown itself throughout the past years. During your time in our community, really a lifetime filled with worth- while activity, the all-important cen- tre in any community, the church; was foremost in your interest. Time and styles change, but with community spirit such as yours, the: church re- mains permanently in its accepted place. In the work of the Institute, your good spirit showed itself again, No worthwhile project missed your attention. It is this sharing by in- dividuals which builds a community undertaking "into a broader field of united endeavour, But it is the sheer pleasure of being your neighbors that has aroused in us a feeling of loneliness on your depar- fure from our midst. It is something like a large stone in our well-tilled fields. Season-after senson we move around it and know its position well. If it were to disappear suddenly we would have a sense of strangeness,' So you, our neighbors are just as secure- ly entrenched in our lives as the big stone in the field. A deep sense of loss overtakes us when we realize that part of this community is moving out. Your home was ever a welcome place to ask for a helping hand, or just to visit for a chat. "We are sure that you will soon make many new friends in your new home. You will not be so far away from the old ones, but that you. will see them frequently, We do- wish you both the happiest of times in your town retire- ment. May health and joy be yours. With our kindest of neighbourly "Ithoughts we ask you to accept these gifts ag tokens of the regard in which we have always held you both, from your old neighbours and friends. Russell Coates and Austin Franklin then- presented Mr. and Mrs. Hockin with a lovely coffee table, an end table and magazine rack, and a hand painted table lamp. Mr, Hockin made a very appropriate acknowledgement ' and Mrs. Hockin also' thanked the group and invited them to 'their new home. Russell Coates, Roy Ralertooi, Earl Tummonds and Austin Franklin all spoke feelingly of the regret which was felt at the departure of Mr, and Mrs. Hockin from the community.
