We were very pleased to receive a large basket of fruit from a club calling themselves the T-O-P-S, which 1 undersand stands for to "Take Off Pounds Sensibly." It was a gift for Thanks- giving Day, and was distri- buted among all the patients and was enjoyed by all. I think I can say for all that we owe the club and its Pres. Mrs. M. Cannon a great big thanks and wish them every success in the future. We had a church service on Tuesday, Oct. 2nd and we had a nice hour of singing and a nice sermon given by the Rev. Mr. Payne (Bap- tist(. We look forward to his coming again shortly. We also had our usual Bingo game and we had quite a large turn out. It was men's night. Their names being Mr. Smith (2), Mr. R. Brown, Mr. J. Preston (2), Mr. W. Morog, and Mr. Gives $250,000 to restore Victoria Hall A grant of $250,000 towards the restoration of Victoria Hall, Cobourg, Ontario, was announced last week by the Honourable Jack McNie, Ontario Minister of Colleges & Universities, and Mr. John E. Langdon, Chair- man, Ontario Heritage Foundation. "This substantial contri- bution", made in recognition of the historical and architectural importance of Victoria Hall to Canadians and the scope of the planned restoration." This grant is in line with a wider effort of the Ontario government to strengthen the historical and cultural resources of the Province. Officially opened by the Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII) on September 7, 1860, Vic- toria Hall was for many years the civic and cultural centre of the community. Declared a National His- toric Site in 1962, subsequent structural surveys revealed that extensive decay had occurred, . primarily in the wooden beams, and the Hall was close to a state of collapse. This discovery and a manifest need for revita- lization of the building re- sulted in the formation of The Society for the Restora- tion of Victoria Hall in October, 1971. Its objective was to raise $1,745,000. To date the Society has received pledges and dona- tions which, including the Heritage Foundation grant, total more than $830,000, close to 50 percent of its objective.

Obituary Dawson William Leo William Leo Dawson entered into rest at Sunny- brook Hospital, Toronto, Thursday, Sept. 20th, 1973. He was in his 90th year. He was born in Brock Township in 1884 and was the eldest son of the late George and Mary Dawson, He took a very keen in- terest in farming and took great pride in raising live- stock. He first farmed on Scugog Island and then at Pefferlaw and finally to Victoria Corners where he last resided. In 1914 he married the former Cora Shier. They were maried for 59 years and were the parents of eight children. He leaves to mourn his wife, Doreen, Mrs. Ross Blakely of Oshawa, Lorna, Mrs. Bert Corner of Woodville, June, Mrs. William Spence of Greenbank; Eunice Mrs. Floyd Finch of Oshawa; Muriel, Alta, Bruce and Earl at home. Also fifteen grandchildren and six great grandchildren. One brother Ernest of Can- nington survives. Four brothers and four sisters predeceased him. Funeral service was con- ducted by Rev. James B. Gibson from the Chapel of Low and Low Funeral Smoking habits declining Statistics on Canadian* smoking habits up to December, 1972, reveal a steady increase in the percentage of non-smokers, mainly attributable to the stopping of smoking by adult males and to a lesser extent adult females. The statistics released today by Health and Welfare Minister Marc. Lalonde indicate the overall increase in the proportion of Canadians who do not smoke was achieved despite a sharp increase in smoking by teen-age girls. There was a leveling off of smoking among teen-age boys. Only two out of five Canadians 15 years of age and over smoke cigarettes regularly. It is estimated that there are almost half a million fewer cigarette smokers in Canada now than there would have been if 1965 rates had continued. There are considerable variations among regions. The greatest increase in the non-smoking population is found in Ontario and British Columbia and the least in Quebec, which has the heaviest smoking pattern for both men and women. There were decreases in the percentage of regular cigarette smokers 15 years of age and over among males of all regions, and among females in Ontario and British Columbia. There were increases in the percentage of female smokers in the Atlantic, Quebec and Prairie regions. Home, Uxbridge on Sunday and Glenn Spence and 23rd. of September, 1973. William Weatherall.
