AND, while we’re still in a fanciful mood, let’s
suppose he has suddenly become seriously ill—
Then, imagine yourself to be in financial difficulties
•—your income, never more than $900.00 a year, has
teased altogether because the factory has shut down
temporarily.
You think your little boy may be dying-—the doctor
brders you to rush with him to the Hospital for Sick
Children — you learn it’s Pneumonia of the most
• serious type —- that serums alone will cost over $400.00,
to say nothing of the special graduate nursing and
expert medical attention required, nor of the cost of
hospitalization itself.
Could you be turned away because of this? There
is’only one answer to this question. It has been the
answer of the Hospital for Sick Children for 63 years—
a youngster’s real need for hospital caje and medical
attention is the only ticket of admission required.
Race, creed or financial circumstances are not consid
ered. We know the people of Ontario want it that
This Hospital has met every emergency which has
developed during the 63 years of its existence. It is
... a? ,...........
famous throughout the civilized world for the succ
and efficiency of its medical and nursing staffs a
for the low cost at which it is operated.
And who pays for this humanitarian work? T
doctors give their time absolutely free. The Onta
Government pays 60c per patient per day and t
patient or the patient’s municipality pays $1.75 on tH!
same basis. That leaves over $1.00 per patient per d
of bare cost for which we must appeal annually to
humane and generous citizens. This Hospital does
NOT share in the funds collected by the Federation
for Community Service because patients are admitted
from all .over Ontario.
This year, over. $83,000.00 is needed. That means
over ten thousand donations if they were to average
$8.00 each-i—or over twenty thousand averaging $4.00.
Certainly, a staggering total! So, please make your
gift as large as you possibly can. If you cannot afford
more—remember that even a dollar bill helps pay'
for the care of somebody’s baby.
Kindly mail your donation to the Appeal Secretary,
67 College Street, Toronto. We cannot afford to use
any of our much-needed revenue for canvassers or other
organized effort to collect money.

At} Uncle Dan’s place they always

Then everyone sat in the kitchen ar
ound the fire and talked. Uncle Dan
would smoke his one permitted pipe
ful of tobacco for the day, and after
telling'the.youngsters a story or two,
and recounting the day’s doings ^vith
Aunt Elizabeth, he would doze--off to
sleep on the ^council. ,
I went Jhere to visit for a few days
after Christmas time when I was a
boy. I liked to watch the flickering

When bedtime came around it was
fun to follow Aunt Elizabeth who
carried a lamp down the long farm
house corridor so that we could all
make opr beds in safety, and not
have an evil spirit jump out of one
of the shadows at us.
A lamp was permtited for break
fast, but as soon as the first streaks
of paling light began to seep into the
kitchen -the lamp was exinguished.
They were mighty cafefull about the
light. Every drop of .oil was jealous
ly guarded, and in that way they were
reviling me for being

The way Maud talks, my eyes and
those of the family will be ruined by
the time we get the money for the
hydro , . but we’ll take a chance on
that.
It’s 1939. I don’t know how you
feel about the New Year. I am pret
ty well satisfied with the old one, and
jf the new year keeps up to its stand
ard you won’t hear me complaiium
Of course the price of farm stuff h 1
been bad in a way . . wheat is aw
below what I thought it was 1
to be, and cattle prices won’t exah
make us millionaires . but it’s bl
a sort of happy year.
I was the only sick one this year
at Lazy Meadows, and I came Off
with only a slight fracture of my
bankroll. We’ve plenty to eat , , a
little money . . and a good landlord
who doesn’t press us too hard for in-
terest on the mortgage. So, why coriv
plain? I haven’t heard any bombs in
our front yard exploding arid no
body has dragged me out of bed in
the middle of the night to sec if I
were an Aryan . . so I say last year’s
been pretty good, and I hope your
New Year will be even more happy
