P. Vivian, M.P,, in the House of Commons. Of particular interest were his references tothe Hospital Insurance scheme which will come in- to effect in Ontario in January: His address was especially timely because in many quarters concern is being felt that some: of our citizens are looking upon the forthcoming scheme as a cureall for hospital prob- lems. They seem to feel that the re- sponsibility of the individual com- munity for its hospital will be great- ly lessened if not ended entirely. This is by no means the case. Indivi- dual hospitals, such as our smaller hospitals, will continue to count very heavily on the active 'support of our own citizens. Ag previously, local hospital boards will remain autonomous bodies under the new plan. Certainly, their finan- ¢ial situation should be improved be. , cause the high cost of indigent pa- tients will be lessened and other ex- penses will be shared through in- creased receipts in the form of grants. - But, the local control' will mean that | expansion plans must' still be finan. ced within the community to a large degree and, under the hospital scheme, everyone 'realizes tha} there will 'he _ increased demands for hospital space; } which, undoubtedly, will result: in)}a gteps taken to return to a more more facilities being required. It is interesting to note the un- selfish work being carried on by those who look after our hospitals. There \ are 2,800 hospital trustees serving without remuneration in Ontario, of- - ferin ..guiddnce: and help. Women's Fat ' Hospital Auxiliaries' have a member- = ship of 44,000 in the province. Their assistance will continue to-be an es- gential part of the operation, raising EE -- | | | Clipped Comments funds, supplying equipment and ren- dering other voluntary service. All authorities connected with hos- pital and government work are urg- ing citizens to become acquainted with details of the new insurance plan. They also are stressing the need for responsible restraint when it comes into effect so that our hos pitals may continie to be independ- ent institutions, providing the fine service to the ill that they have come to expect and receive. : --Canadian Statesman. PECULIAR HOW WE FOLLOW "TRENDS ) It is always diffieult to analyze how new trends originate and develop. During the past year, there, have been two distinct. trends which have' taken place in Canada and the United States. First, was the one against "progressive" education with its many liberties, its concentration on social aspects of education and its compari- gon with the rigged program under the Soviet regime. Probably the first SovietSputnik had much to do with this trend, but.to date it has not resulted in any great alteration in teaching in most of the schools, But, as suely as night turns to day, public opiglof is being changed or awakened and if the trend continues, there will arduous school term with greater emphdsis on academic subjects and might be called. : The latcst trend which appears to be taking form is against the. long, streamlined, chronfe-covered, high powered and. expensive North Ameri, can type automobiles, One paper we receive suggests that for safety sake BCE Re Amok + a 5 HC vs ATW less on the "fringe subjects" as they there should be a restrictive governor | on every car td ensuré that ft won't go over 60 miles an hour. Letters by the dozens have appeared in many publications recently, suggesting that auto manufacturers would be wise: to listen to the public and cut out the frilly gadgets, the super speed motors and reduce the size and expense of their motor cars. They point to the success achieved by British, German and other foreign small car manu- facturers in selling increasing num- bers in this country every year.

A long while ago, the government ht federal, pro- vincial and municipal level looked af- ter far less of our business than' it does today. But, the trend started to have the governmentss do more, even if taxes were increased and -now we find them collecting garbage, help- ing pay for our recreation, or anizing hospital insurance Co our electric lights and paying us when we are out of work or old or disabled: and even supporting the prices we receive for farm products; | 'Yes, trends- have played ia great part in altering our way of life and our dependence upon our own resour- ces.

It was a wonderful gathering, and the Counsellors had an interesting pro- gramme, Nettie Aldred led us in various games, Catherine Martyn showed moving pictures of her re- cent trip to Florida; and many will- ing hands helpel to toast weiners and refresh our starving bodies. In the absence of our Pres. Erika, the Vien. Pres. Gerald Emm thanked our host and hostess and all who contributed to the enjoyment of the evening. It was such a success; and so well attend- ed; that T am hoping that we might have another before the Summer ends. Plans are on foot to build an outdoor fire place in our Church grounds on the Island in the near future. 1 return was a thrill for your Minister to home, and to find that the downstairs of the Manse had been beautifully painted. What a change: We can hardly bedieve.that we are in the same house. Congratulations to Mr, Bradley for doing a very tine job." The other project for this year will be the tearing down of the old shed, and the building of a double garage.

We were ull charmed with the Speaker, Miss Wes- ley of Greenbank; who gave us in such. an interesting way sketches of her various visits to Europe. It is not often that one has the privilege of listening to one so fluent and ver- satile in her presentations.
