"Every demand for additional service automatically cans an increase in the depth th p to which the hand of govern- ment is extended into your pockets".. Explaining the high cost of hospital service, the minister stated every new hospital, bed cost from $13,000 to $18,000 to provide and that maintenance and service expenses averaged from $6,000 to $7,500 per year. "Every two to two -and -one- half years the money spent on maintenance equals the cost of construction." Rapid expansion Dr. Dymond stated the ad- dition to South Huron Hospital was'indicativ- of the vast ex- pansion of welfare services which has taken place in the province during the past de- cade. The number of, beds in the province, exclusive of those provided in mental, retarded and TB institutions, now totals 36,000,, more than double the number available in. 1948. Hospital construction is a sig- nificant sign of progress. he B. Dymond' revealed Sunday at the opening of the addition to South Huron • Hospital. 'Since' the •hospital insurance plan came into effect, the av- erage-per-patient v-erage-per-patient stay has in- creased two days despite the advances which have been made in medical science," the minister stated. "If we could cut down one day from the average stay we could save from $15 to $20 million a year andwe could provide accommodation for apt proximately 100,000 more pa- tients each year". Revolutionary new program S backs county school SHDHS board, by unanimous consent Tuesday night, agreed to support the proposed million- dollar compositeschobl in Clin, ton which may revolutionize secondary •school training in the county. The board authorized Chair- man H. L. Snider%to enter into a •tentative 10;year agreement to share costs of • operation of the county school which will provide extensive vocational training for about-. 600 pupils from • grades nine to 12. Board delegates to the county committee revealed . the new institution is expected to bring about sweeping changes in district education at the high school ' level.

They will be assisted in their decision by a guidance service to be established at the public school level. The choice ' will be voluntary; schoolauthorities will recommend which course the student should accept but the decision will be left with the family. • Besides providing vocation- al training for those who do not intend to finish high school., the composite school,'will give cour$es right through to the grade 13 level to allow the Vo, eational student to go on to higher education if he wishes. The grade 13 course may be taken at Clinton or at the home school if proper courses are available, • Classes at the cbttnty school will start" at 9:30 a.ni, and end at 3 p,ni. to allow students from each: area to be transported to and 'from Clin> ton after being picked up by the local district bus systems, The noon -hour period will be shortened from 50 t6 35 nail, Ides, • Eventually, shop, home economics, commercial and agriculture .courses will be dis- continued at the local schools in favor of More intensified programs at the central school, • Students 'wlro fail hi bird course will riot be allowed io transfer to another 'until they have successfullycompleted the .year. This will prevent "dumping" of •ttiin,a cadmic Students into vocational fields. It was emphasized again that the vocational training will rc• quire as much native ability to complete as academic fields, although the stresses will be in different areas. • District schools will be al- lowed three years in order to meet their quotas of enrolment. They will be recjuired to guar- antee a certain number of students for the; centralschool to the extent that they mt.y be charged over and above the per -pupil rate if `the quota is not filled by the participating school, inquestion or the others involved. • Instruction and operation costs for the central schools will he approximately 25' higher than for academic courses but provincial grants will be correspondingly higher.

M. Aldis to issue a new warning about the menace,' The Zurich dog died June 19 and the cause has been con, firmed as due to rabies, Three humans who were exposed to the animal are under treat- ment. "Continued co-operation of all municipalities and indivi- duals is needed," Mr, Aidis said ina memorandum this this week. The affected dog was owned by Harold Erb, north: of Blake on the Bronson Line. Mr. Erb and his sister, Miss Dorothy Erb, are taking treatments, The dog had "nipped" them, Miss Erb said, but it was not a viscious attack, although blood was drawn, Also under treatment is Gary 'Talbot, teen-age milk driver, who was bitten by the dog when. he was picking up milk at the Erb farm. The animal had been tied up but broke loose shortly after Talbot drove his truck into the yard. The three began treatment Friday . evening, All suspected cases should be reportedto a veterinarian' or the health of animals office, Seaforth, the MOH stated. "1f a human should suffer injury by a possibly rabid ani- mal," he continued, "prompt- ly wash the wound or place of exposure with soap, and wa- ter. Consult your physician. No- tify the health unit, Goderfeh. Confine the animal undervete- rinary supervision for at least 14. days. Avoid shooting or des- troying such an animal if at all possible."

Feud, liquor; fight end in fines here A Dashwood man was fined a total of $33.70 on a charge of common assault in magistrate's court here Tuesday, Magistrate Glenn Hays, QC, found Lorne Becker, Dash- wood, guilty of assaulting his uncle, Valentine Becker, also of Dashwood and reeve of Hay township, inthe village of Dashwood on April Lorne Becher accosted the reeve near the main intersec- tion in Dashwood and had .scuf- fled with him in trying to stop his uncle from driving away. Testimony revealed the ne- phew had wished to 'talk with his uncle but when the uncle started to pull: away in his car he was grabbed in the .front by Lorne Becker,' In the brief al- tercation, the shirt and under- shirt of the elder Becker were ripped and ever since the in- cident the uncle has sttffered from chest pains: The younger Becker stated that he wanted to have a talk with his uncle "about the things I had heard he had said to other people about me," Lorne Becker claimed that his uncle had told two gravel- ; pit owners who were dealing with the younger Becker to be - 1 ware of their dealings with: him. Valentine Becker could not recall that he hadsaid such to the owners and he stated. that he was merely seeing the owners on business for Hay !township, I In handing down his judge ment, Magistrate Hayes stated that "as in all cases of as- sault, some grievance, real or imaginary and often exagge- rated is to blame."
