OPPOSE PUBLICITY FOR LIQUOR, SABBATH SPORTS Opposition to the use, sale and advertising of alcoholic beverag- es, and to commercialized Sunday sports was officially expressed by the Hamilton Conference Branch, Women's Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada, at its annual meeting in St John's United Church Tuesday and Wed- nesday, April 24 and 25. The resolution dealing with advertis- ing was worded as follows: "We place ourselves on record as be- ing opposed to the alcoholic ad- vertising in current magazines which are of an educational type |, and often placed in our schools, thus tending to cancel the teach- ing given our young people on the | harm of beverage alcohol." Another resolution dealing with alcohol appealed to the federal government "to pass such legls- lation as will enable law én- forcement officers to make com- pulsory blood tests to determine to what extent alcohol may have contributed to highway and other accidents." Miss Ethel Eachran, B.A, 1 her address entitled "I lived in Korea" spoke of the loyalty of Korean Christians, relating how one man had sold his cow to pay. the debt outstanding on a new church building, and was con- sequently obliged to pull the plough himself. Tuesday evening's session was open to the public. Rey. Harry Pawson, minister of St. John's, conducted the worship service, which was followed" by a play, "Beauty from Ashes", dealing with recent changes in the at- titude of the Japanese people. The address of the evening was Mrs. Hugh Taylor, Overseas Missions Executive secretary, Who spoke of the great opportun: ities for missionary activity in India, Africa, Japan, Trinidad and Korea. She stressed the need for trained worker, adequate funds 1 | Mrs. and constant prayer. Treasurer of the branch, Percy Button of Scotland, reported total contributions of $123,153.31 for 1950, an increase of $29,031 over 1949, every Pres. byterial exceeding fits allocation.

This fact was revealed by the hospital's chief of staff, DAj B. P. Soanes, at the annual meet- ing of the Hospital Association in Victoria Hall Thursday evening. Only One Year "After one year's operation, the hospital requires more medical, surgical and obstetrical accom- modation", stated Dr. Soames in his report. "Another obstetrical room is needed so that it will not be necessary for mothers to queue up to have their babes." This was followed by a request to the Association to provide the re- quired accommodation. Dr. Soanes' report showed a total of 804 medical and 709 sur- gical cases. There were 326 TEEN TOWN By Don Lovegrove That old music bug has poked his head around Teen Town again this week. This time he has claim- ed our jolly maestro Pete Wat- ters as his victim. Pete has run into circumstances which will make it impossible for him to be on hand every Friday with his familiar "Watter's Wax Works." It comes as a bit of a blow to us, as our feeling has al- ways been that Pete's music has helped to hold Teen Town to- gether through those rough months just past. Should condit- ions permit there is a chance that Pete will take over in the control room, using a few of his records and a few from Teen Town's li- brary. Bad news has got the upper hand around the town the past few days. First came the news of Pete's withdrawal, then the aud- itors report (groan!), and last but not least, the ugly rumour that Teen Town was to be closed (double groan!) Sad to say, the rumour may not be far from wrong. Yours truly and Mayor George Farrow paid an unpleasant visit to the Rotary Club meeting last Monday fo answer our sponsor's questions and thresh out the whole matter. We can not give out any information on the results of this visit, because the whole mat- ter is still up In the air. You can rest assured, however, that there will be a Teen Town until the: summer at least. With baseball makng its spring debut all around the country, we took a peek-a-boo at the new jun- for squad getting ready for their opener on May 9th. The team Is made up mostly of last year's juvenile players, with a few new faces added to glve them a bit more strength to go against high- er competition. Should be an in- teresting season, so let's see everyone out to lend the team vocal support. A fussy old lady was walking along when she noticed a little boy sitting on a door step, smok- Ing a cigarette. In high disgust, she remarked, "Little man, does your mother know you smoke?" The lad whipped back with, "Lady, does your husband know you flirt with strange men?" P.S. No Teen Town thls week due to the Hobby Far. births, including twins. A total of examinations were given, in ad dition to 1200 chest Xerays All patients in hospital receive rout- ine chest ays, Dr. Soanes stat ed. The X-ray department showed a profit for the year of $402.43 before depreciation. In the near. future the department would be able to handle X-ray cases of all kinds on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as weekdays. Staff Increases "The medical staff of the hos- pital is constantly increasing", Dr. Soanes noted. "Doctors from Burlington to New Tqronto are using the hospital. Three more doctors are coming to Oakville this summer. This can partly be attributed to the hospital" At the present time there is a wait- ing list for admissions to the hos- pital, the doctor stated. His re- port was adopted unanimously. Reporting on behalf of the man- agement committee, Don Stevens, chairman, pointed out that the hospital's percentage of occup- ancy had jumped from 58.7 in March 1950 to 86.1 in January 1951, and 100 per cent in March "It has been a fine experience for the committee to have been supported by such loyal co-opera- (Continued on Page 12) two sets of 2035 Xray Loam - Stone - Gravel SLADE'S HAULAGE ROCKERY STONE BY TON Stone Walls and Rockeries Built BOX 15 CLARKSON Gifts & Greetings for You -- through WELCOME WAGON from Your Friendly Business Neighbors and Civic and Social Welfare Leaders On the occasion oft 'The Birth of a Baby EngagementAnnouncements Change of residence Arrivals of Newcomers to City PHONE 807 (Ne cost or obligation) BOOKS MUST UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BE RENEWED have already been made. for new books.
