Many early difficulties in con­ nection with the building of a hospital in South Huron and District have now been overcome. Delays in getting plans drawn and approved were certain to arise. These have now been arranged. The choosing of a suite unfortunately delayed, meantime the Carling on Huron street came on the market, and it has now been purchased ut <1 cost of $10,500. Nearly all the residents of this district are familiar with this property which comprises nearly two acres of land, on which is a fine building, the front portion of which is two-storey and a rear portion of one and a half storey —all of which will be retained— the main parlour for administra­ tion and nurses quarters and the other part for hospital beds. Build Addition To this will be built wings to the east, the west and the north of one storey height to accommo­ date 34 beds and 12 baby cubi­ cles, together with operating and other rooms that are necessary. The total cost is estimated to be about $275,000,00 of which $100,000 will be met by County, Provincial and Federal grants. The balance, $175,000.00, is to be raised by subscription by re­ sidents, former others who sympathize need of a hospital in trict. $95,000 Subscribed Subscribers in the full payments, partial | | and promises amount to $9 5,000, of which $75,000 is in cash, less, of course, the cost of the pro­ perty and of materials that have been bought and paid for to date.

Materials—steel, ent, lumber, etc ordered far in paid for on arrival. Plans had to be secured and paid for. Aboitt one-third of the build­ ing has to be completed. All this out of subscribed money because Provincial and Federal grants are received only on progress of the actual building — one-quarter at a time. Not Enough The present $75,000 will not pay for the property, the mater­ ials, the plans, and one-quarter of the labor. So, it can readily be seen that it would be necessary (at least it would be wise) to have at least $100,000 in cash before action is taken. However, action has now been taken, the ground is now being prepared, materials have been ordered and building operations will commence as soon as wea­ ther permits, aud materials ar­ rive, and the Trustees will have make large donations, but all can give something to a worthy cause. No matter what size they will be appreciated. The building operations will be under local supervision and by local workmen, and many men have volunteered their as­ sistance. These offers are thank­ fully received by the Association and the building committee will be very grateful to all who will help. The work of the Trustees up to this point has been beset by many difficulties and these men have given much of their busy hours and their otherwise leisure hours to figuring ways and means of reaching their objec­ tive, but their work and worry have not been without their compensation. Their appeal for funds has been very favourably received by many people and it is felt that this new appeal for further funds both from former and new subscribers should also be successful.’ Urge Donations Now To those who have subscribed, but have not completed their payments, the Association ap­ peals for an early payment of the balance. To those who have not sub­ scribed the Trustees appeal for generous cash donations. This district and its people have been good to us. Let ns be good to the district and build a hospital that will be a credit to the people, and fill a long need for hospital service. It became obvious to the com­ mittee that to construct the hos­ pital by tender was too costly for. the South Huorn district to bear, ing the hospital ourselves.

In fairness to the subscribers it has been the policy of the committee to make all purchases for the construction of the hos­ pital in this district, where the materials can be locally supplied. This has been reciprocated by local suppliers charging prices to the association at prices which provide only a nominal profit. The committee is indeed grateful for this co-operation. Local Mill Receives Mixing Certificate Cann’s Mill Ltd. has been [sued a Certificate of Mixing Ac­ curacy by the Ralston Purina Coinany, following an analysis of samples taken from custom- mixed feeds prepared specially for customers of the mill. The proper mixing of ingre­ dients, using grain grown locally by farmers in this area, has long been recognised as an important factor in the efficient feeding of livestock and poultry. Before Purina approved the mill as an authorized mixing station using Purina formulas and ingredients, laboratory tests | were made to determine the curacy and uniformity of mixing service rendered. The samples which passed most recent laboratory tests, qualified the mill foi* the Certifi- than pro- cate, did not vary more one-half of one per cent in tein content. A certificate is issued for formula manufactured and proved- Exeter Radio & Electric Phone 187-W to depend on the immediate ful- I filment of all promises, and the receipt of additional cash pay­ ments to be able to continue tion. There will be no delay the part of the Trustees if money is forthcoming. All Appreciated In this district there are proximately 13,000 people, about 3,500 families, apart from the summer population of Grand Bend, and the families of the Centralia Airport personnel. It should not be a difficult job to raise another forty or fifty thou­ sand dollars. Not everybody can What Do You Think ae­ on the ap- About Artificial Ice? Harvey Pfaff: Artificial ice will be a real asset to the town as far as the younger generation is concerned. A more certain winter sports program could be arranged and this would certain­ ly be a good factor in helping to curb juvenile delinquency in the town. (’liarlie Acheson: I think it’s a step in the right direction when you think of what it will do for the town. If a town like the size of Lucan can afford artificial ice, there’s no reason why Ex­ eter can’t support the project. Before long some of the smaller towns around are going to get the idea and then there won’t be a hope foi’ drawing crowds in the arena here^ Ken Hockey; I vthink Exeter should have artificial ice when it can afford. it. At that time I will be all in favor of such a project. I think the hospital should be well under way before anything else is considered. How­ ever, if the money can be without a raise in taxes it be a good thing. Len MeKniglit: I’m in It should have been put in long ago. Look at the support the idea has gained in other smaller towns. Exeter is ,in the ideal spot to serve a great number of teams and people. The only way you’ll get good hockey teams is through proper facilities and in­ struction for young players as they are growing up. r Here And There —Continued from page 2 ies are rare and the work of caring for the potato simply cannot be had in a great many sections the province.
