On Thursday, Thanksgiving, a very successful box social and concert was given in sep. S. S. No. 5, by the teachâ€" er Miss 'IPeresa Madigan. A vyery creditable programme was arranged composed otP school talent, and several from Mt. Forest also took an active part in making it a suceess The boxes realized all the way from 35¢. to $1.90 anu totalled up about $11.00, with door receipts about $8.50. All went heme feeling well peased with the | SNutertainment secing any one go away hungry. Later years found, the population rapidly increasing, the township‘s reâ€" sources developing, and soon the settlers realized the necessity, of hayâ€" ing a muuicipal council to transact the business of Normanby. In casting around for suitable men the partner ot the lately deceased was one of the first chosen to represent Normanby‘s settlers at a municipal board, a position which he filled for many years. She leaves to mourn her loss 5 children and 17 grandâ€"children. Six grandâ€"sons carriâ€" ed her remains to its last resting place and as the Rev. P. S. Owens pronouncâ€" ed the words ‘* dust to dust‘‘ mother earth again received the remains of a trail body, which had served a taithâ€" fal long life here below and had aliâ€" ways been a kind mother an imdulgent grandâ€"mother and a benevolent friend. A very large funeral passed through here on Saturday Nov. 30th en route for St. Peter‘s church, Ayton, thence to the R. C. cemetery in that place. The remains that were borne in the hearse, was that of Catherine Morris an aged woman of 88 yeaas. She with her husband Patrick Morris, who predeceased her about 16 or 17 years, were among the pioneers of Normanvoy, and may safely be counted as among the earliest. From those further adâ€" vanced along life‘s pathway than myâ€" selt the writer often heard, that their shanty afforded shelter and nourishâ€" ment to many a hungry and weary wayâ€"farer tramping through the bush, as it was then called, and though their supply was often very scant yet their hearts were filled with that sense of kospitality which prevented them from secing any one go away hungry.

D Ten years ago the Hospital carried a heavy burden of debt. The building and its furnishings cost $150,000 and of this $20,000 was paid by the corporaâ€" tion of Toronto and $60.000 by its citiâ€" zens. Year by year the dobt bas been reduced and it is now down to $13.000. To clear the indebtedness this ap~1 IF ETBTDT CETTD â€" CORRULIUU® tion of the corporation is increased by from $4,000 to $6,000 donated by citiâ€" zens of Toronto for the maintenance of all patients, to say nothing of the $4,000 contributed yearly by Toronto people, the founders of maintained and named cots in the building. During its lifetime the Hospital has handled 8,000 indoor patients and of these 4,000 were cured, and 2. 700 woars on College street. It costs about $34,000 per year, or a dollar per patient, per day, to mainâ€" tain the Hospital. The Government of the province gives about $7,000 a year, or rearly eighteen cents per head, in other words, per patient per day. This amount is all expended in maintenance. The corporation of the City of Toronto does even more. It gives $7,500 per year or eighteen cents per head per day, and this too goes towards the maintenance, not only of Toronto patients, but for every patient in the Hospital, no matter from what part of the province the little one may come from. Yes, and this contribuâ€" aw uo) o en mgsy on 38 u4 F yes, from every spot in the Province of Ontario. $ So when you siveâ€"be your giving large or smallâ€"it goes for the benefit of every child of the province that is admitted and treated. This statement is made because occasional reference is made tq the Mospital as a Toronto institution for Toronto patients, whereas every sick child in Ontario has the same rights and privileges as those who live \vit}}‘in“the shadow of the great red pile While the institution is located in Toronto its work is essentially proâ€" vincial. It admits not only children from the city of Toronto but from every city, town, village and hamlet, An institution that requires about $34,000 a year for maintenance, an inâ€" stitution that depends for support on the goodness of the generous people of the Province of Ontario, must needs have considerable faith in the love, affection and generosity of the people. m bnindudithidbtciniiiatydrt.
