Due to the bad condition of some roads all members of the Board were not able to be present. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Herbert Brooks. The minutes: of the last annual meeting were read by Mr. Gordon Reesor, the Sceretary. On motion the minutes were adopted. Mr. Brooks then outlined what the Bonrd had accomplished since the last meeting, gave the names of the mem- bers of the various committees. One of the first acts of the Board was to appoint an engineer to draft a set of plans that would meet with the ap- proval of the Dept. of Health. Esti- mates' were then secured to get a tentative cost of the project and' the estimated amount that each .amunici- pality will be responsible for. Getting thése details has been responsible for holding . up the completion of the project. ~~ Most of these details have been se- cured, and each municipality has | given its willingness to assume its designated {share of the cost. The Board now feel that they can now go ahead and made definite plans for the completion of the hospital. Mr: E.

This promoted some discussion ds to other changes in order to cut the cost. One of the sugges- tion was to remove a few petitions and enlarge the rooms to 3-bed' size. Mr. Earl Martyn reported on the sale of the old hospital and the re- moval of the equipment. He said the committee were able to secure volun. teer labor for this removal and pack- ing of the conténts of the old building. My. Martyn made the suggestion, that owing to Dept. regulations, he would suggest that any person or so- ciety intending to donate any supplies ~ ANNUAL HOSPITAL MEETIN or quipment should get in touch with the Board. Mr. K. Creighton, of Oshawa, was asked by Mr. Brot to take over con- trol of the meeting, and conduct the election of the new members of the Board, Mr. Creighton thanked Mr. Broooks and proceeded. He also ad- dressed the meeting saying he felt now that many obstacles had be sur- mounted the Board could make pro- gress, and hoped the community would soo1l have the much needed hospital. The four re-elected were Mr. Earl Martyn, Reach; Mr. D. Crozier, Scu- gog, Mr. Suggitt, Cartwright, Mr. H. Brooks, Port Perry. The Board will meet later to organize. "It was the opinion of the meeting that the Board should proceed at once with the job of building the hospital. It was thought that the Board should not "have to report every detail but should seek advice only when they felt the problem should be discussed. Mr. Brooks felt with the experience of many of the members of thé coun- cil they could be of great help to the! Board. - - As there was no further discussion the meeting adjourned. © : \ - te BOY SCOUTS REPORT OF scour MEETING, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28th, 1951 Due to a majority of troop mem- bers being required to play in a Jr. Hockey game, attendance fell to the lowest mark since re-organization, there being only ten members present.

See you next Wednesday. ¢ "Ignatius" The Chapel Fund PINE GROVE CEMETERY We are very pleased to note the amount of interest shown by the plot- owners, in the announcement in the Port Perry Star, that a "Chapel Fund" had been started, for a new 'chapel in the Pine Grove Cemetery. This is something, that all agree, is very badly needed in our fine ceme- tery. We know that our board of directors have long seen this need, and have hoped that a sufficient sur- plus 'would build up in the funds so that they could build one. But, due to their eforts to keep the cemetery charges as near operating costs as possible, no surplus has appeared, We appreciate their efforts, which may have saved plotowners money, but it has not provided a Chapel, - Now, ,that a Fund iy started, let's get behind it, send in our donations, big or small, and wé know the Board will be right on the job--to build a Chapel---just as soon as the amount of fund warrants. The Treasurer, R. D. Woon, Port Perry, will give or send you a receipt for any contribution you may care to make towards a Chapel. What about it -Plotholders?

He explained what would be necessary of us as citizens of Canada if we ex- pected to cut the casualties to a min unum. . He warned against over fins carly in the organizing of the Civil Defence which might cool to indiffer- enc in the necessity of a prolonged waiting period. He hoped it would never be necessary to face an "A" bomb attack, but felt that such pre- paredness "as could be made" now should be constantly sustained so that if needed it would always be at its full value. With this thought in mind he said the work of preparing for an emer- geney was moving ahead and equip- ment and facilities in each district were being organized. Mr. Ted Jackson thanked the Col- onel and rémarked that this com- munity was-proud and highly honour- ed to have him come and give such an timely talk knowing the district like he did. Mr. Jackson was sure that it would only be necessary to instruct the people as to what was expected of them and évery co-operation-would be forthcoming. .
