Few people can understand why hospital". - charges are so high, The publi¢ should ~ be better informed about the cost to run a hospital... Where does all the money go? We heard some people discussing their bill 'as they came out of a big civic hospital the other night. Fantastic, outrageous, *» robbery . , . were some of the adjectives used. If the rates and the charges are as high as many people claim then why do hospitals both public and private lose money.

The tornado came as a great shock for it is seldom that we, in southern Ontario, ever experience this particular type of destructive windstorm. They are com- _ ~-- mon in Europe, Australia, and quite fre- quent in the Mississippi basin. The last recorded one-in Ontario was, we believe, some twenty years ago. Such winds var greatly in violence; usually occur in the ~spring and early summer months and are generally in association with cyclone dis- turbances. The term tornado was first used to describe a violent squall which blew outwards from in front of a thunderstorm - of a type encountered most frequently off the Gold Coast of Africa. The type which struck Sarnia was accompanied by a tor- nado-cloud which is a funnel-shaped mass i "hour. * sacrifice humanity for "efficiency" 'then «= . something will have to be done.

Although -a tornado only moves at the rate of some ~20 to 50 miles an hour the force of the revolving air within the column is capable of great destruction, Such tornados speedily blow themselves out seldom tak-. ing more than a minute or two in passing and running their entire course within an Some tornados travel less than three miles. In the northern hemisphere they travel in a counter clockwise direction. After the experience of Sarnia we are ~ suddenly made conscious of the damage . a wind can do; in certain parts of our con- tinent winds are the source of the major economic - losses and in such areas heavy and costly insurance is carried, It is © doubtful if many people carried insurance against damage by wind in the stricken city of Sarnia for it is far removed from such areas and the chances of it being hit by a tornado were. probably. not one inten thousand.

The piping to be installed will be fully séale artificial ice that is planned right now or an all-season ice plant that may be built in the future. Be- hind the whole project is the general dissatisfaction. at lack of sufficient skating and hockey time during recent years of mild winters. This winter, Sutton skaters enjoyed-only two Sat- urday evenings of public skating. The compressor will not make 'available a full scale plant but will merely enable the management to hold ice during a temporary mild spell. The scheme is being built to give nature a "helping hand".

DEAL WITH DISASTER rie 4 YOU CAN'T BE CERTAIN-- YOU CAN BE READY, Contrary to widely-held opinion, . total extinsion is by no means inevit- able in modern warfare, even under attack by the most powerful weapons yet used.- © This is the keynote of ttiuetion: contained in a federal civil defence handbook, "Personal Protection under Atomic Attack", published -by the De- partment of National Health and Wel- fare, whose minister, Hon, Paul Mar- tin, is responsible for civil defence at the federal level. Intended as a general guide to the population at a time when Canada is organizing and training---services to cope with mass disaster, the civil de- fence manual is predicated upon the possibility that some of our cities could be targets for atomic bombs. The book was printed before it was disclosed that some nations have car- ried experimentation with death-deal- ing weapons into the field of hydrogen explosives, which may be even more, lethal than the much-publicized atom bombs. But, experts of the Defence Research Board, Canada, scientific ad- visers to the civil defence authorities, believe that the principles which it set forth in layman's language hold good under any type of attack, including those with high explosives or incen- diary bombs, and, indeed, are applic- able in most types of peacetime catas- trophe as well. a Playing Safe. r "This business of getting ready for attack by an atomic or some other kind of bomb, does not mean that the place in which we live is going to be bombed", the book notes in its intro- duction. "It simply means that we are playing safe. It's the sort of thing we do all the time when we buy afterwards. insurance, put. lightning rods on the roof and'pour anti-freeze into the car 'radiator, . We just don't want- to take a chance." The parallel between civil defence and irisurance is drawn throughout in- formational material issued by the Civil Defence Division of the Depart- - ment of National Health and Welfare. It reiterates, in all its publications, that, since disaster is no respecter of persons or places, everyone must be' prepared to meet any type of emer- geney, including enemy attack. Civil Defence is described as organ- ized preparedness, helping to mini- mize the effects of disaster, save lives and property, maintain production and sustain the country's will to pull through and to fight 'back out of ad- versity. Preparedness Pays. If Canada became involved in a war and was subjected to hostile action, government officials feel that the enemy would be more interested in bombing unprepared communities than those where everybody was ready because, then, they could cause more casualties and do far greater damage. So, the better prepared, the better a _ community's chances of escaping' with little or no injury. ~~ "As a matter of fact", says the government book, "our chances, ac- cording "to the law of averages, are pretty good in any case, but they are far better if we take appropriate pre- cautions". The book goes on to describe the types of atomic weapons which could be used against Canadian communi- ties, explains what to do now to pre-- pare for such emergency, what to do if attack comes and how to carry on Included in the manual are clear in- structions on construction of base- ment shelters and outdoor shelters and special hints which may be invaluable to citizens in wartime. . ho x Copies - of the manual "Personal Hn i Protection under Atomic Attack are fp available, free, to all civil defence 2: { workers, through Provincial Civil De- [Ve fence offices, and arrangements have LR been made by the Queen's Printer, Ot- s tawa, for its widespread sale through- fe out Canada, at nominal cost, ; Be CONANT & CONANT BARRISTERS and SOLICITORS Gordon D.
