It would seem most reasonable, judging by the past five months, to suppose that the Memorial hospital will have little difficulty in achieving eigthy percent of ly critical, the case of the manufacturing firm out- lined at the start of the editorial. The loss reported by 'the board would seem like peanuts to a firm with the same amount of invested capital after five months of operation. The hospital's loss to date is not large, and should not be multiplied by the remaining seven months in order to get a picture of the first year. It wouldn't be a true one. The facts would seem to in- dicate that any deficit for the first year, if there is one, will be of a size which will have us all full of satisfaction. To date, the hospital has done well.

I say we, because at this point I found the "Columnist Frame of Mind" was at work successfully. It was an open debate whose fish they were--mine or my son's. Now fish have little sense of death at the jaws of all and sun- dry of the elders. So that means a tank for each breed. And each tank 'means the same inexorable struggle with breaking panes of with its crop, inhabitants. Each tank requires an electric light bulb above ft--so the elec- tric light bill went up. Each tank--at least ours--seems to spring' a leak about every other week, and the fish just go on and on having younger fish. Like the fleas on the back of other flea: So the Wood menage is now seriously threatened with an in- hundation of fish tanks--and cer- tainly the time consumed sitting in front of tanks speculating on the number there'll be this time, is a serious drain on what free or about fo crop midst of some strange forest or towns get a little too much of it. Those who live in the country have the privilege of seeing the mystery and magic the very word suggests. Surrounded by dark- elemental forces of the universe. To experience such undiluted darkness is next to impossible in the modern city or town, with its eternal glimmer of electricity. It might not be a bad idea if the lights were put out for an hour or so, every now and then. The that Puffer Cotton, hotfoot in his plot to ruin my free hours, was emeshed also--for. he even went to the lengths of securing a few fish for himself in order to enthusiasm I've been showing to date, will mean divorce.

They don't cost much--by the way we've still to sell our first fish--and we've simply got to have them. My son doesn't seem, so keen, but 1 insist. See what 1 mean by revenge? I'm the busiest guy in Oakville, and all because the "Columnist Frame of Mind" drove Cotton to make me uncomfortable.
