East hili, x\ hen it became evident that some of the xnunieipahiies in the Whigham hospital area did not Ju­ tend to contribute to the cost of the new wing, the hospital board decided that it would he necessary to surcharge patients coming worn these municipalities. The idea was that, the lex ring of a surcharge would, in time, raise enough money to pay the municipality's share of the cost of the new xxing. With other municipalities paying their share willing- ly, it seemed like the only thing to do. in fairness to those who haxe comributed. Now the Huron County Council has made a grant of $15,(W to Wingham hospital, on condition that no sur­ charges are levied. And in order to get the $15,000 the board has removed the surcharge. Thus two non-contri­ buting municipalities in Huron will bo able to go along for the ride without contributing a cent towards the new wing. The situation is obviously unfair, both to Whigham ami to the townships xvhich have contributed. $ NEW LANGUAGE revise the a phonetic be spelled as they sound and vice versa. And redundant letters xxnll be shed from words like leaves from the trees in autumn. Instead of "ough" being pronounced seven different ways, there xviU be seven different ways to spell it—all simple. The nexv* language will xvork drastic changes in our way of life. Children will need to spend only halt the time learning to spell. The printed word will be only half as long, resulting’ in millions of dollars saved in printing’ ink and paper. Newspapers, lawyers'* briefs and acts of par­ liament will be shorter by half, adding -considerably to the spare time and leisure activities of those who have to read them. Wo can see a great future for the for one thing. Will anybody somebody's going to On Parade!

Taxes, of course, have to come from somexvhere. But. there are a couple of reasons why the automobile industry should be given a break. For one thing motor cars are no longer a luxury. They are a necessary part of the life of hundreds ot thousands of Canadians, of the whole fabric of Canadian society.
