On behalf of hospital people from one end of Canada to the other I would ask if the Secretary of State or his repieaentative could advise us as to what the obstacle may be Bo that steps may be taken to utilize these vast sums of money which have been made available by the Federal Government by way of matching grants so that they can be utilized for hospital purposes. I know of no better way of observing the Centenary of Confederation than by erecting hospital additions or new build- ings, so that we who are living an honour those who have gone before us.

I would sincerely and enmestIy ask the Department of the Secre- tary of State to let us know if there has been some obstacle in the way of making grants avail- able to hospital associations acrou the country for memorial pur- poses, or is there an obstacle in some other sphere of influence?” Mr. Stewart said in reply that the special centenary grants for I major project in each Province are not. to be confused with the pro- gram of F'edefal-Provirteial grants to assist local centenary projects of a lasting nature. The Dalhousie Medical School project falls under the former and not the latter program. he said. The special Federal grants to be matched by each Province, amounting to $2.5 million for each Province, are for major projects preferably of n cultural nature, and preferably in the Provincial capitals. The Government of Nova Scotia decided that this money should be directed to the Dalhousie Medical School. 288-0242 NOITH 'AIK PLAZA KIILI . MWllNCI “hum-lolmluth thwallhhvinuuhth timti-uaee.

Such generous financial arrangements by those various authorities means that the Northwestern General Hospital would need to raise $830,000.00 to eumplete the finInc~ in; for Iuch a necessary enlarge- ment and thus keep the North- western rHoNrital in the front rank of Canadian medical eentrea." On The Record He said the Canadian Govern- ment went on record an stating:-- "The Centennial Commission has adopted the podicy of not consider- ing any local project for I fed- eral grant unless it comes with the approval of the appropriate provincial authority. The approval of projects is the concern of the provinces in the first instance. No prohibition against hospital projects has been introduced by the Con- tennial Commission." "We would like to suggest," Mr. Cowan said, "that the Northwest- ern General Hospital Association should ask the Council of the Township of York to favourably consider requesting the Ontario and the Canadian governments to allow the municipality of York to devote its $390,000.00 centennial funds to the expansion of this worthwhile and appropriate York Township enterprise, as a suitable memorial for the proper Comme- moration of the Centennial of Con- federation. Precedent l "York Township could set Bl valuable precedent for all Canada) by publicly proclaiming that Cen- tennial Funds should be devoted to hospital work. With an ever in- creasing demand for medicare, whether it be operated under pri- vate or public auspices, the prov- inces are going to be under an ever increasing demand for bigger and better medical facilities. What more proper memorial could this nation have to commemorate its first eenterfary than a wide spread system of hospitals or hos- pital wings across this vast north- iern half of a continent all proudly DELIVERY WITHIN A 50 MIL!

"There in 1 lot of work that gets done before it ever gets to council Ind we have trouble find- ing something we can link our teeth into," the Weston mayor complains. The mayor luggests that Metro councillors, at times, should be given more opportunity to do a little thinking on civic issues. He believes if it wasn't for bearing suitable markers identify- ing them as projects commemor- ating the centennial of Confedera- Lion? “In all the provinces of Can- ada today one can find hospital works that are memorials to heroes, groups of men and women and individual men and women who have distinguished themselves in the life of the country. Surely every one here tonight knows that the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Vic- toria. B.C., commemorates the jubilee of the mign of Queen Vie- toria; one does not need to be- labour the point of I proper me- morial when referring to four Grenfell Hospitals in Newfound- land. and Labrador; or the Fisher- men's Memorial Hospital in Lunen- burg, Nova Scotia." He concluded, "Surely the Town- ship of York would be willing to properly recognize the Centenary of Confederation by means of a large wing on the Keelo Street frontage of this institution, with the addition carrying I sign in letters large enough that he who runs may read: of Confederation Wing Northwestern General Hospital, Municipality of York Commemorating the Centenary SNOW BLOWERS (COMMERCIAL TYPE) SEALED TENDERS. dur- ly marked In to tender num- ber, will be received in the Office of the Autumn!

Gould, but he took exception to the school board's motion, passed at its last meeting, to consider only the High Point site. "if I'd known v. were not to diam-o Human" sites, I certainly wouldn't have coma hon tonixht," In nid. Councillor Walter Clue”: aid " had trot the distinct impression from the trustees that only the school board should decide Whir. the school should be built. "I feel that it is I mutual prob- lem, not your problem, but our problem," he slid. Earlier in the discussion, Trustee Sybil Darnell had told Council member: that it we; for the bond to decide when the school should so and that council’s responsibility lay only with the zoning by-law. Councillor Gordon Hurlburt said it wee Council's duty to honor the covenant and pointed out that should the school board insist on proceeding with the expropriation, legal proceedings would probably not be settled before the fall. It was his opinion that the School Board could not proceed with con- struction until January, 1969 fol- lowing expiry of the covenant. Reeve James Service wu even more pessimistic: "A legal battle between the Board and private resi- dent: could be interminable," he said. Trustee Isobel Walker appeared to agree: "I feel property ownexs would Iuempt to extend the covenant beyond its December, 1968 expiry date," she said. Trustee Sybil Darnell wanted to know if such action involving ex- tension of the expiry date could be possible. "The legal covenant ceases to be effective December, 1968," replied the Reeve, but added: "lt is my guess that this will go below the Supreme Court of Canada." Council members drew attention to the School Board's desire to be- gin construction on the school by the end of 1965; an alternative site then, was the only solution, they felt. Mrs. Darnell said the Board had valid reasons why an alternative site was no solution and moved that the discussion be continued in private session at which point Trustees Isobel Walker and John Newton walked out. Asked to state their reasons for walking out, they replied that the meeting had been called to discuss the High Point site only and not alternative aim. “We’ve heard it til before." said John Newton referring to the "alterrurtive lite" discussion.

Concerning the Library Board, I agree wholeheartedly with Mrs. Lynes, and very much disagree with Mr. Trimbee and Mist Campbell. I too hove been I member over the yearn. culling mostly in the afternoon, and since Miss Nichol left, I have never met a librarian, clerks yes. who have been no help. Ot course there are lots of books in the library, but I feel besides having books and lights, it should be . place to look for information and references. The files I was directed to were of no use what- soever, they were badly in arrears, end not just a month or two. I have taken several ex- tension courses. and hoped the library could be of some help, in the end I had to purchase the books. One in particuUr was . well known Canadian Author on Canada. The clerk informed me it might be in one of the unopen- ed cartons in the basement, but didn't offer to look. I did find them careful to insist on refer- ences when renewing a card, after being a. member for yen-s. As for Mrs. Lyme: doing some- thing about the Library Board, she is just newly elected to the Board of Education. Since when is it in poor taste to disagree with a board or council, they are just elected or chosen members, serving the public, with tax- payers' money. Being volunteer. or paid has no bearing on the siuation, what is important is whether they are qualified and really interested in the particular field they represent. The paper and Mrs. Lyrics are doing Weston a service by being honest and out-spoken. They have brought . breath of ftesh Air to I board that has seeping- ly been so secretive and glued.
