If the number of people imattendance at the Annual meeting of our Hospital on Wednesday evening, March 28th, 1956, was a guide we of the Board, the Medical Staff and Hospital personnel are inelined to feel that few people are concerned that there is a hospital to serve them in time of need--we might add twenty- four Hours of every day of the year. However, we were very pleased to have two representatives from the . newly formed Chamber of Commerce, ~ Port Perry, and a representative from Port Perry Council among those pre- sent. : l Reports were given by the Chairma of the various .committees and the Chairman of the Property Committee drew to our attention the extensive work in connection with the re-locat- ing of the septic tank and sewage dis- posal, and the building of a brick chim- ney to replace the original one which had deteriorated to a point where it was useless. The Sermendant, Mrs. Kathleen Hook, was called upon and gave a © _very interesting report,, as follows: "At this time it is my pleasure and privilege to present to you a brief re- port on the work of the Hospital, and mention some of the improvements and equipment added during the past year. Our nursing staff has been adequate and they have been. very loyal, inter- ested and co-operative, We have nine . registered nurses on our Staff, three on each of the three shifts. At this time I would like to express my sin- cere appreciation for the part time and relief nurses, who are most co-opera- tive in helping out on the busy days, and on the Staff Nurses time off duty. During the past year a small room, which was little used, was converted into an: Emergency Room, which has proved most useful and convenient to all. Just recently an improvement in the facilities of the Patients' Wash- rooms has been completed. Among new equipment added was a digwash- ing machine, and a Washing Machine |. for the Laundry. = All laundry pertain- ing to the hospital, including uniforms, is being done in our own laundry now. The next items I will mention may be a case of repetition, but are well worth repeating, The Women's Hos- pital Auxiliary donated a much needed Operating Light, They were plann-ng to donate a new Operating Table when a former resident, Mr, Joel Aldred, be- came aware of their intention, and . very generously donated "one of the most up-to-date Operating Tables, We at the hospital are most pround. of this adedd equipment, Our doctors sincerely appreciate it and "we have received many compliments from other towns and cities who have work- ed here, The Women's Hospital Auxiliary have helped in numerous other ways and we appreciate their close co- operation at all times. Without their constant help we would surely have a difficult time. With reference to linen I would like to thank those ladies who come to the Hospital to mend in order to keep linen in circulation at all times. I would lke to thank the citizens of\| the town_and surrounding district for remembrances te the Staff, not only at Christmas, but at various times, and also for supplying magazines, books, and flowers for the pleasure_of the patients; and to all citizens who have in any way contributed to the welfare of the Hospital. . It is surprising though, how many people do not know their hospital. We would be pleased to have them come and see it on Hospital Day. r would' like to thank the medical staff for their support, co-operation and assistance at all times. With their help the rules and regulations under the Public Hospital Act have been observed and records kept ac- cordingly. A sincere thank you to the Members of the Hospital Board, who have given so much of their time, and who have taken a keen interest in the welfare of the Hospital and Staff, throughout the year. In closing 1 would like to express my sincere thanks to my assistant, Mrs. Gray, and to Mrs. Watson, our Secretary; without their support and help at all times my position would be a difficult one. - Again thanking all for their help and co-operation, Mrs. Kathleen Hook, Supt."

Mr. Edwards in his 73rd year, was born and raised in Cartwright Town- ship, a son of the late John and Mary Edwards. On January 1, 1907 he was united in marriage with Violet Johnston of Janetville, A true son of the soil, Oscar Ed- wards made farming his life work. He was always highly regarded asa good stockman, raising fine herds of cattle and well-cared-for horses. With the exception of a few years spent in Saskatchewan, he farmed in Cart- wright Township, then on the Coulter Farm north of Port Perry and then at Thornhill, being a milk-shipper at the last two places, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards retired from farming in 1942 and moved to Toronto, Still an out-of-doors man at heart, he spent his summers at Kenora with members of his family. With his advice and help, an execu- tive of the Simpson-Sears Company bought and stocked a farm near To- ronto, J He was a member of the Forresters Lodge, Nestleton, and with his wife attended the Durham County Club in Toronto. Mr. Edwards rested at McDermott- Panabaker Funeral Chapel in Port Perry. : ~The many beautiful flowers and the large number of friends who called, silently paid tribute to the memory of a quiet, kindly gentleman. He is survived by his dear wife and his loving family--John, Bert, Cecil and Norma, of Kenora, Ont.; Helen, of Toronto, and Lloyd of Oakwood; also grandson, Two sons, Wray and Harvey predeceased him.

Brooklin Jrs, came through with flying colors on Saturday night, to win the OHA Jr. "D" championship, as they downed the Elmira "Harvesters" 6-3, before a record crowd of 11568 spectators in the Port Perry Arena, Althpugh the Brooklinites held the lead throughout the game, the out- come was always in doubt as Elmira displayed their best hockey of the series. Jackie Owens shone in the local cage, as he robbed the Elmira boys time - after - time, while Warri- ner and Grant Jones fired key goals in the third period, that took a lot of steam out of the visitors' attack, Cliff Johnston deserves a great deal of credit for bringing this OHA cham- pionship to Brooklin and the title is a great reward for his untiring ef- forts in the minor hockey ranks dur- ing the past years. The local bus- inessmen gave the team solid support and the hundreds of loyal fans are great incentive for the club executive to carry on next year. Cornish opened the scoring for Brooklin at 8.26 of the first period, as he scored the prettiest goal of the night, with the help of his linemates Gibson and Carnegie. Grant Jones gave the locals a two-goal lead at the 16.18 mark when he combined with P. Tran. Cornish got his second tally at 3.31 of the middle session on a slap shot, that gave the goalie no chance. For the remainder of the period, the "Har- vesters" enjoyed a slight edge in play with their ace, Wilkins, potting two goals at 17.37 and 19.37. Warriner eased the pressure with a tally at 3.11 of the final period but 'Hahn got this one back at 9.30 to make the count 4-3. Both teams really turned it on, test- ing the-rival goalies frequently and at 16.10 Grant Jones fired a high one that the Elmira goalie attempted to catch but the puck glanced off his glove into the net. This goal seemed to take" the wind out of the Elmira sails and at 19.61 Carnegie added an- other, to salt the game away, Following the game, Pat Patterson of the OHA presented the cup to team captain. Dol g Vipond. Cliff Johnston, manager of the club, and Ken Greer, president, spoke a few words of ap- preciation and offered their congratu- lations to the worthy champions, Village Rate Up 10 Mills The Council of the Village of Port Perry have struck the mill rate for the year 1956. -As you will notice by the schedule below it is up 10 mills above last year's rate. This increase is chiefly due to increase in the school 'tax. Our school population is grow- ing very rapidly, taxing our present|' facilities to the limit. There seems to be no other way to take care of the problem but by increased taxation, 1956 County Rate civics $17,089.73 County Rate .. ..11.2818 Mills Schools-- High School, ..$15,222.88 Public School, $38,627.68 -- 4 53,860.46 High School .....ccceeunns 10.0493 Mills Public School .. ....25.6000 Mills Schools :..... 36.64.93 Mills WolRTE wciciminmpmmsmasnsomii 1,600.00 Welfare ......ccceeu..... 1.0663 Mills General 'Rate ......ccoceevneinniinne 33,496.30 General Rate ................ 22. 1126 Mills $106,036.49 Total Mill Rate ...... ++..70.0000 Mills Reasons for Increase Public Selipel, increase of ...$7,283.00 up 4.8079 Mills High foes Area, increase $4,423.00 up 2.9198 Mills County of Ontario, increase $1,047.00 .6912 Mills Area Debenture By-law No. 1218 .............

The boys were in charge of the joint meeting with Ted Lamb in the chair. . At this meeting, it was noted that there is to be a County meeting in Brooklin Hall on Friday, April 20th with each club supplying fifteen min- utes of program. In the past, these county meetings with each club sup- plying part of the program have been very 'interesting and this meeting on Friday should be no exception. - The Port Perry Juniors have been promised a booth at Port Perry Fair next fall. Thus a committee of Ruby Leask, Ted Lamb, Wesley Johnson and Muriel Lamb were appointed to or- ganize details for this booth. Suggestions were made by the mem- bers regarding a destination for the annual Port Perry Junior Farmers one-day bus tour and places such as Algonquin Park and Niagara Falls were mentioned, however, a definite place was not decided upon. Last year the tour-was to Rice Lake via Peterborough and on the return trip we called at Caesarea, Everyone who participated in this tour really enjoy- ed the outing. Our next regular meeting is to be in Port Perry High School on Tues- day, April 24, For the recreation, we are to have a play party with Bill Lamb, Eleanor' Hutchingon and Lois Sandison in charge. ) Lions Increase Their Membership ~~ On Monday--evening of this week the Port Perry Lions Club inducted 4 new members into their Organization, These gentlemen are as follows, Dr} Bob M¢Nab, dentist and Messrs.
