SECOND HOSPITAL WEEK
EARLY IN THE spring the good ladies Of
Clinton and District are bard at work preparing
for the annual HosPital Day and its reminder
of the comfort and efficiency of the local hospital
and its staff. This has come to be a social' event
as welt as an educational one. It is the time for
people to visit the hesPital and see an.first hand
tie improvements and the requirements yet
needed, and to visit with the cheerful staff which
,is always on hand to help the sick and wounded.
This week there is a senond. "hospital day"
on the way. Another evern_which is also be`.,
coming an annual one in the Clinton area is the
monster penlay•riale'which the ladies of the hos-
pital auxiliary is holding.
Gifts of WI kinds have been madd to the
auxiliary, and these have been placed in the
windows of the PtiC office, The gifts are from
merchants and interested businessmen in town.
The auxiliary is selling tickets on these and as
prizes they will be• won at the draw-on Saturday
afternoon. This year there are nearly, 70 prizes„
to be won.
Proceeds are going into the furnishing of the
newly re-decorated wing at the hospital, That
is the main purpose of the Auxiliary. The ladies
raise money to buy things for the hOspital, Once
a year they play hostess to the people of the
area who Wish to visit the building and see what'
is happening there.
The work of 'the auxiliary has come a long
Way since the self-sacrificing ladies of this town
put in long hours rolling dressings, putting up
preserves and 'baking pies in the old hospital
building now known as the Commercial Inn
Hotel. The hospital has been streanalined, and
will continue to be more modern.
The' work of the auxiliary will, go on as long
as there is a need for extra assistance at the
hospital.- That appears to be a long, way in, the
future.
The auxiliary deserves the .finaneial support
of the People of the'district. The penny sale
gives everyone the opportunity to lend a helping
hand. 'n
COUNT THE COSTS
OF ' GOOD, BOOKS
Public Iibrarie4 are the intelligence .centres of
our communities.
Until the twentieth century only large cities
could afford to pay from taxes for public librar-
ies' with informed librarians and large, up to
date book collections.. For the most part, people
who lived in the country did without libraries.
The last fifty years have seen' a great expansion
of country. and regional abraries. From a cen- °
tral headquarters, often in a city, books are sent
out to towns; villages and hamletS in„ the 'dia.
triet. Even small communities receive a wide
variety of books.
In Huron County hundreds of beolcs are
'distributed and re-distributed each month
through the .participating schools and smaller
libraries from the County library?. Any book
may-be 'bcitroWed through requesting it from a
branch library.
Large unit libraries, financed• by a comb n-'--
ation of municipal and provincial taxes, require
co-operation between a number of urban and
rural councils. This is gained when we become\
really alert to- the need for books; books' of
quality; and in..„numbers; and for librarians to
bring together readers and books in a dynainic
relationship.
THIS IS THE week when we 'should count
the cost of negligence-in the many areas of our
hoine -wherein a fire could start. •
For one period' of seven, days in 'the year,.
We are reminded ev.eryWhere we look of. the
consequence of this negligence. But have you.
looked over the' situation in the basement yet?
Are, you sure tife place is 'tidy and that no dis-
carded" clothing °Nether materials are capable
of starting a fire? Are you sure that the wiring
in- your houseis sa fe? Ard you sure?
"For if yoo are not, then your house may be
the one which .goes up in smoke next in this
IMPORTANCE
THE IMPORTANCE} of reading good bobks
cannot be stressed too strongly. Books provide
the ,beSt part 'of our education. They add rich-
ness to- life. They provide much of our" enter-
tainment Think of the, impact made sby just one
book, "Uncle Toni. Cabin", on the. slavery issue.
Perhaps we take books too much for grant-
ed. Picture a world without :books. BefOre long . we should be- ignorant primitives. -,
Today as never before books are essential'
to us: for tl)e pre-school child the exquisite pic-
ture books "'are a joy and a delight; for school
children; books provide information and recreat-
tion, and 'they do the same for adults. Books
can- help as all' do our'' job better', widen our
horizons, provide us: with the knowledge we
need to make up our minds on vital questions to
be effectivecitizens. They help us whether we•
are houseWiVes, farmers, clergymen, mechanics,
writers, lawyers, artists, doctors, teachers, bus-
inessnien
We need boOks in Our homes. Let us buy all
the books -we can.,
But'most of us cannot afford to buy all the
books we, need. So we depend on libraries:
The, library is the heart of the university.
The library should,be the centre of the school.
community. We have had no great fires in
Clinton in the., past year. We certainly hope
there will be none. 'There have been some barn
fires in the area; and the loss in these cases has
been large. The problem of storing crops this
- fall, when the dampness and poop harvesting con-
- ditions is so evident, has increased the dangers
'of spontaneous combustion. Hurried working,
rushing to get the harvest in, may 'be careless
hands, and thus manage to set fire to the harvest
after it is in.
Let us all take care, and care for our homes
and property,

gayly .costumed in bonnets (girls)
and as pirate (boys) and many in-
teresting items. "
I also scanned_ with interest the
picture of Mrs. Frank Yeo, in old

tvimmed hat, although I do not
know thek• special people men.
Particularly pleased to see like',
nesses of the staff (News-Record)
and to meet Wilma Dinain this
way, as she has sent 'me some very
friendly, encouraging letters in
the past.
The item regarding Mayor Mil-
ler, in First Column, made me
laugh aloud. That gavel wielded
sternly to_ bring about a non-
smoking audience was refreshing, •
but when Mr. Miller used the 'gav-
el again' with. true marksmanship
on ,the bee, it was truly comical.
I see Mrs. Harry Lawson's name
in the Bayfield News as visiting
her daughter here in London, Mrs.
Lawson is a friend of mine, as Is
her daughter; and I have jtiSt had
a most pleasant telephone conver-
Sation with Mrs. Lawson,

of interest to me in your paper,
