PORT PERRY following completion of the re- gitlar business at the annual meeting of the Community Me- morial Iospital, Mr. Howard Hall made a significant state- ment when he. said, "With the new. hospital now under con- struction, more doctors will be required". He continued to ask if any' concrete steps have heen taken to rectify this situa- tion. We go along with Mr. Hall, and believe this was the most important question brought forward at the meeting. However, we will also go along with Dr. S. P. Kandel - who replied on behalf of the medical staff, that efforts in re- gard to this question always have been given priority, and various methods are used, in- Journals to secure qualified doctors to settle in Port Perry. Dr. Kandel stated it is becom- "ing increasingly .djfficult to find medical doctors to settle in the smaller communities. To substantiate what Dr. Kandel said, it is interesting to ~ note what Dr. W. A. Cochrane; dean of the University of Cal- gary Medical School, has to say about this important question. "If the Canadian Govern- ment doesn't provide money. to "help train him; family doctors will become extinet."" Dr. Co- chrane also said, general prac- " titieners are. going back to school to specialize because the 'hectic pace of general practice leaves them no time to keep up with either medical advances or family life. = "Canadian general practi- tioners make good incomes, but work a 70-hour week," Dr. Co- chrane said. - "High taxes make them feel the extra hours taken from their family lives are real- 50 YEARS AGO During a discussion period "cluding advertising in Medical _ Christie, Do You Remember? 25 YEARS AGO cditorial Page | 'Statement Merits Attention | Iv being donated to the govern- © ment," the dean said. Dr. Kandel also suggested that perhaps the local Chamber of Commerce should assist to some extent to encourage doc- tors to settle in Port Perry. With the steadily growing population of this area and the completion of the new. hospital the latter part of 1968, there is no doubt that the question brought to the attention of the annual meeting by Mr. Hall is one of great importance. Anyone Worthy Of Recognition? Practically -évery. commun- ity in the neighborhood of Port Perry has come up with some "person who has contributed service to the nation sufficient- ly enough to receive the Cen- tennial Medal. A few weeks ago, Mr. Grant former councillor, reeve and clerk-treasurer of Reach Township, and past Warden of Ontario County was presented with the medal, and a well deserved honour it was.

Two requests have been made by the Secretary of the Federal "Cabinet, but council has decided that no action be taken in regard to this matter. The council members have no doubt discussed the matter thoroughly, and could very well he right in their decision. It would certainly cheapen the idea of the medal if it was hand ed out primarily for the reason of having someone carry the medal around. rate for the town this Thurs., April 4th, 1918 News has' come that Lieut.

Daughter Kim went off to spend a. few days with her Mum in the city. And there I was, all alone in the big house. For the first time in years, nobody to bug me. Not a soul to tell me it was time to get up or go to bed. Nobody to tell me to stop doing this, or start doing that. No- body to natter away while I was trying to read the paper. It was a wild, delirious feeling. Only a man who is beleaguered by women most of his waking hours can appreciate how | felt. | just decided to let 'er rip, go the whole hog and let the chips fall where they might. First morning I slept right through. Un- til 8.30. I even lay there, grinning defi- antly and said, right out loud, "I won't get up until I feel like it". And there was no argument. : Seven minutes later, instead of the usual juice, toast and coffee, I ripped the cap off a bottle of beer and drank it, right there in the living room, not the kitchen, with my bare feet up on the best chair. It gave me a glorious sense of sheer freedom. And a headache. . ; But I didn't care. I read the morning paper for 20 minutes straight without be- ing interrupted. Unheard of luxury! For the rest of the day, I not only threw convention to the wind, but flouted every domestic rule that has been pounded into me in 20 years. I read a novel instead of marking exam papers. I deliberately let my whiskers I malici- ously dirtied every ash - tray in the house. I refused to take out the garbage. I got crumbs all over the kitchen floor and. - just left them there, crunching happily around in them. I didn't even go down fo the basement and do the washing. I read Mad magazine. of cxam papers on the floor and kicked them all over the room. .I ripped up a. couple of bills that came in' the mail. And I ate whatever and whenever I darn- 5} " c00?

Didn't eat until some crazy hour. About 12.30. At dinner-time, I did the same. Just sneered at.the big roast of beef cooked for me before the girls left. Had exactly what 1 wanted, pork and beans. And exactly when I felt like it. About 6 p.m. "I just let the old dishes pile-up anywhere. Didn't even put them in the sink. In fact, I sneered at them a couple of times as I walked - through the kitchen looking for somebody to talk to. " "That night I carried right on with my orgy of freedom. Had a brandy and a cigar somebody gave me six months ago when his wife hada baby. Searched out relentlessly and watched three westerns on TV, including the late-late. : Did I go to bed then?
