County Treasurer A. H. Erskine
in presenting provisional estimates
for 1939 on Wednesday, said that the
equalized assessment will not affebt
this year’s rate as it does not come
into effect until next year, as the rate
is reckoned on the assessment of the
previous year. Subject to revision in
June, the rate based on the provis
ional estimates will be 4 mills for ur
ban municipalities; 4 mills plus the

council that lists arc being prepared,' municipalities, made up as follows:

member.
Reeve N. W. Trewartha, of Clin
ton, asked to have* the agreement be
tween the council and the evaluators

reement, setting' forth that $200 be
paid on signing the agreement and
$300 on the first of each month since
June; $3,000 to be retained until the
report has been adopted by council.
Reeve Trewartha said that two
years ago the county of Perth had
.paid $916 for the equalization of the
assessment, and the county of Bruce
$689.22 in 1938. He wanted to know
if the $7,000 would cover any litiga
tion which might arise.
Reeve Haacke said the agreement
had been signed under the direction
of the county solicitor, and he believ
ed the evaluators would defend any
appeal of their assessment and the
$3,000 will;be paid when all litigation
is over, His opinion was endorsed by
Reeves Cardiff, McNall, Saunders
and Grain.

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
leased altogether because the factory has shut down
temporarily.
You think your little boy may be dying-—the doctor
orders 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 ofK
* 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 care.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
way. " , ’
This Hospital has met every emergency which has
developed during the 63 years of its existence. It isA
d
famous throughout the civilized world for the success
and efficiency of its medical and nursing staffs and >
for the low cost at which’ it is< operated.
And who pays for this humanitarian work? The
doctors give their time absolutely free. The Ontario
Government pays 60c per patient per day and the
patient or the patient’s municipality pays $1.75 on the
same basis. That leaves over $1.00 per patient per day
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. t
This year, over $83,000.00 is needed. That means
over ten thousand donations if they were to average
$8.00 each—or over twenty thousand averaging $4.00.
Certainly, a staggering total 1 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;

Mr. Beacom expressed
that the new courses of study repre
sented a distinct improvement. over
the former courses as they lay great
er emphasis on the developing of the
Individuality of the pupil, on learning
by doing rather than being passive
recipients of Information and much
less stress on examinations.
Some reeves could see no advant*

the schools provided good advertising
for the firms selling but others felt
the course a good one and pupils
could easily adjust themselves to con
