What Do You Think About The South Huron Hospital Situation At Present? B i 11 Armstrong, Exeter; I think we should have a hospital we can afford, built in such a way that it may be added to as more money is available, They should start something soon, Mrs. JL Eh Lunt: We need a hospital for sure. I don’t think it would be a good idea to aban­ don the project completely. I’d rather see a small one than, none at all. Gerald Skinner: I think they should postpone the project un­ til materials necessary for the building are more plentiful If they had it half finished and found they couldn’t finish it, they would be forced to post­ pone it. Miss Helen Hardy: As a house­ holder, I think the things the town is already committed to should be paid for before too much else is launched. Mrs. G.a Skinner: I think Exe­ ter is aiming too high. How can the town maintain such a large hospital? I think a smaller one would be better.

Her dream of sea power may be less vivid than it was at the close of the Second World War but it still fills her thoughts. Communism has no idea of easing her propaganda. It still*is in the breasts of its devotees with more than crusader zeal. Nevertheless, the allies have learned that they can work to­ gether and that they can fight when fighting is required. What is even more important, they have learned that they must fight when fighting is required. They have learned once and for all time that the enemy with which they have to deal never sleeps and never even nods.
