and the surrounding district faithfully
every second of that time, and to-day
it stands ever ready, with its enlarged
and improved facilities, to continue
that service.
To Dr. J. P. Kennedy belonged the
honor of inaugurating the enterprise
and to its completion he devoted much
time and energy. The Board was com-
posed of optimistic, public-spirited
gentlemen, who personally supported
the enterprise most liberally. They
were: Dr, Chisholm, M.P,, Hon„ Pres.;
Thos, Bell, President; Walter Green,
Vice-President; Richard Vanstone,
Barrister, Secretary; Dr, A. J. drwin,
Treasurer; C. P. Smith, D, T. Hep-

Most of the wards were furnished
by citizen of Wingham. Walker &
Clegg furnished time Reception room
with oak furniture. Private rooms
were furnished by Mr. T. Bell, Presi-
dent of the Hospital Board; Mr, John
Leslie of Winnipeg; Mr. Wm. Button
of Orangeville, a former citizen of
Wingham; and Walker Bros., and
Button, Loretta Ward, ,containing
three beds, -was furnished by Father
Laurendeau, as the result of a lecture
by Fr. Tobin.
The Lady Superintendent's room
was furnished by Mr, H. 0, Bell of'
town and the dining room by the Can-
ada Furniture Manuafacturers Co„ The
Western Foundry Co. of Wingbam,
furnished the Range for the kitchen.
The Wingham Hospital opened with
thirteen beds, Miss Kathrine' Steven-
scin of Buffalo, was the first lady Sup-
erintendent, and Miss Eva Kelly of
Morris, Head Nurse. There were two
patients in the hospital during its
first week of operation.
To-day after forty years of wonder-
ful service to this community, the
Wing-ham Hospital is one of the best
small-hospitals in Canada. It has, been
greatly enlarged and its equipment and
facilities have been tremendously im-
proved. Mrs. I. Morrey is the present
Lady Superintendent and she has a,
most efficient, obliging staff of nurses
to help her.
A considerable sum of money is still
needed to help pay for the new' build-
jug and equipment. Subseriptiona have
not come in as readily and generously
as this worthy cause deserves. All
citizens of Wingham and the surround-
ing districts have benelitted because
the foresight and generousity of form-
er residents bequeathed this fine hos-
pital to this cOmmunity. Can we af-
ford to be less generous? Your help is
still needed.
THE NATIVE VOICE
Last month the first issue of a new
paper, ','Tile Native Voice" was pub-
lished in Vancouver, That was the
first issue of the first newspaper ever
published by Western Canadian Ind-
ians. This paper will be the official
organ of the Native Brotherhood of
British Columbia, Inc. Perhaps it will
be interesting and instructive to read
part of the first editiorial. It follows:
"THE INDIAN ACT" (Editorial):
In this initial presentation of "The
Native Voice" to the people of British
Columbia, we intend that the voice of
the orginal Canadian will open a new
era for our people who have striven to
keep in step with all ranks in the
march of time. An era in this atomic
age where progress is measured for
mankind the world over by scientific
discoveries of learned people, who, by .
their individual and co-operative meth,
ods have the power to make this so-
called Christian world a haven bf eon,
tent for every human being in exist-
ence.
The Native Voice" will assert at
the beginning the firm objectives at
which we aim and hope to achieve in
the not too distant future, An object-
ive which will mean an honest guar-
antee of equality for the original in-
habitants and owners of Canada. In
Canada (A Canada) where under a
voice in regard to our own welfare. We
are prisoners of a controlling power in
ur wn country, a country that has stood
up under the chaos of two World wars,
beneath the guise of democracy and,
freedom, •yet keeping enslaved a Native
people in their own home land.
Charity begins at home and it 'is up
to those in control to sweep the steps
of Parliament clean and bring into be-
ing a real democratic Canada, with
freedom from all races, a Canada of
which we can be proud. At this time
our Dominion is- not in a position to
point a finger of scorn at the treatment
meted out by other countries toward
their people, until she liberates her
own original and subjected race,
We are in the position of the poor
man mentioned in the Gospel who
lived off the crumbs that fell from the
rich man's table. This is particularly
galling to us as the table and what is
on it were at one time exclusively ouf.
own and we 'intend to push our claims
for our rightful position on terms of
eqUality with all other Canadians". * -
WEEKLY THOUGHT
These are troublmis titres. Nerves
and tempers are still frayed to the'
breaking point from the strain of the
war years and the uncertainties of last-
ing peace and security in this atomic
age. Each one of us should try extra
bard to.keep a close check on our un-
ruly .member, "the tongue". A word
once spoken can never be. recalled 'so
we should be- very careful not to utter
anything that we may later regret.
Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer fortieth
away wrath; but grievous words stir
up angen" *
KNOW WINGHAM .
.Wingham has an undeveloped area
within the town limits of over ,50• acres,-
lying, east of Carling Terrace - and be-
tween the C.N.R. tracks and the Blue-
vale road. This area is close to both
schools and it would make a splendid
residential district. -Near the C.N.R.
this area ,would be suitable, for indus-
trial enterprises.

and my pipe is• drawing well. I'm af-
fording myself the luxury of some ex-
pensive tobacco that city friends sent
me for Christmas. All in all it's a
pleasant night for relaxing and a little,
reading. I've just finished reading
about this. new Canadian citizenship.
Here I ant a Canadian relaxing at
home in perfect Comfort, It's some-
thing a lot of us shonl'd pay a little at-
tention to. Sitting here in Ontario,
ten o'clock of a Tuesday evening a-per-
son naturally wonder what it's like to-
night in this country of ours .that
stretches so far in all directions.
I wonder if a lonely trapper away
up in the Northwest Territories hears
a chill wind whistling down from the
Arctic and realizes that a storm is
brewing that will sweep down across
the Prairies or possibly across North-
ern Ontario and then cut- down through
Southern Ontario and' Quebec go blow-
ing away across the United States.
That storm which he hears now may
take days before it has worn itself out.
It's eleven o'clock on the border-line
of Canada - and Atlantic Ocean. I
wonder what it's like tonight in the
little fishing- villages like Lmienburg
and Yarmouth. and Chester. Will the
fishermen going to' bed peer out over
the dark brooding waters that smash
up against the rocky shores and wish
for spring and the _days of bountiful
sea harvests? Will a tree crash tonight
in the thick timber along the Mira-
michi or .the , Petticodiac in New
