MEADOWS that He’s YOUR I 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. 67 COLLEGE STREET.

Somebody y the lamp for her the bedroom be- e afraid of letting it a few years of me people. Maud's uncle, was hard uys. Everything had ghty careful in those ; days, and there was no extravagance in that household. When she started talking about having tthe hydro in, I* was sorted of tempted to^ remind her of the times*.when even lamps were scarce in. her home. At} Uncle Dan’s place they always had supper before dark and-the dish­ es were done and the chores all set­ tled before the* winter dusk set in. 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 DOGS HAUL CUTTER ml'difficulty tn pulling ’ Mary Gai, and a frientl. with Maud in the shadows. I to wish in those days that we so rich that we could have a in the evening because it was firelight from the open, grate in the stove . . and play Indians and rob­ bers used were light so much more fun in the dark. 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 that I didn’t have hydro at our place. She may . I may be stingy, but I so in- be am af- able to go On living quite well until the day came when they were fairly well off in the little community. Maud didn’t do much reading by lamplight when she was a girl. But now she forgets all that, and is con­ stantly Stingy stalled right . not putting in hydro' until I can ford it. 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 other stunts
