That's progress! PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE A GOOD MAN FOR HURON "Why does it Cost so much, to keep rue in hospital?" she asked. "I know it'll be covered by insu- rance, but somebody has to pay. And I could stay in a hotel for less." la Well,. there are some pretty good reasons why a hospital costs as ranch as it does, as 'any staff member could tell this patient. In a hotel, it's what's upfront that counts. Your room is hand- . that Some, the lobby richly carpeted, the cocktail. bar softly lighted and gleaming with luxury, the dining room rich •with silver- ware, and you may be served by a waitress dressed like seine- thing from the Arabian Nights. Bilt in a general hospital, the patient in bed may never see the services that cost so much . the laboratories where his tests are carried out . . . the radio- logy department, the pharmacy department, the,operating rooms, the electronic monitoring equip- ment in intensive care units and coronary care units, equiptnent for the physiotherapy department and, in some hospitals, the re- search laboratories.

It was on June 29, 1929, that Ben Tuckey' jumped behind the wheel of a "little red Chev" truck and drove from London to Exeter, marking the inauguration of his trucking business. While he saw his transport firm grow to 125 units, some that can haul up to. 27 tons, his first truck wasn't evenjarge enough to haul all his household belongings. • The Chev truck had a platform that measured 6 feet by 9 feet and it took him two trips to get all his furniture to Exeter, along with a couple of small hardware orders which helped make up his first pay-load. In the succeeding 42 years) the firm 'grew steadily and today employs about 100 people and Guenther Tuckey trucks log over , two million miles a year. The local firm is one of the oldest in Ontario and their licenses 'show the number „A-95, indicating there were only 94 others issued before Mr. Tuckey received his in 1929. He hitch-hiked to Tdronto to get that first license for his one- truck fleet. • The business operated out of a small barn on Simcoe St. until 1932 when another truck was added - the area's first tractor and semi-trailer and it meas- ured a whopping big 15 feet in Tetight: Offroe- -411rsi—Nels1)11-Reld-wiil be tire. speaker and give the History of at the site of the ,present Walton.

Every- thing else you pay for. ,If you want room service you pay extra - and tip the bellboy too. If you eat in the restaurant, you pay. In a hospital, you get room ser- vice all the time, and not only meals but drugs, dressings, con- tinuous nursing attention . and records are kept of your con- dition. All that takes a great deal of staff. Most of the staff of a hotel go off at night. The hospital is staffed 24 hours a day. The hotel staff has few specialists other than chefs, bartenders, the house detective, the administrative staff and a few others. The hos- pital is full of people with special training. Equipment for hospitals is constantly being improved. The public rightly wants the best, so hospitals often have to replace equipment.
