On October 24, 1917, the Duke of
Devonshire, then (Governor-General of
Canada, unveiled a monument at
Brantford, Ontario, which bears the in-
scription: "To commemorate the In-
vention of the Telephone by Alexander
Graham • Bell, in- Brantford in 1874."
In the previous year, on March 10th,
1916, at 109 Court Street, Boston,
Mass., a tablet was unveiled which was
inscribed as follows: "Here the Tele-
phone was born, June 2, 1875."
The question of where and when the
telephone was invented would seem to
be determined by one's interpretation
of the word "invention," The inventor
said the telephone.was invented in Ca-
nada and the first telephone was made
in the United States. Claimants that
The Centennial of Alexander Gra-

RED CROSS APPEAL
OPENS ON MONDAY
Wingham's Objective Has Been Set.
At $3000.00
With $5,000,000 as the objective, the
1947 National Red Cross Appeal will
open Monday, March 3rd., it was an-
nounced .by Arthur L. Bishop, Chair-
man of the Canadian Red Cross Nat-
ional Executive Committee,
"The $5,000,000 is for the vitally
important peacetime work that can be
done by your Red Cross," said Mr.
Bishop. "It is equipped and ready to
redirect the experience and strength
developed in the war to a great pro-
gramme for the 'benefit of all Canada.
To carry out this programme, Canad-
ians are asked to give their whole-
hearted support.
"Voluntary contributions to the Red
Cross made by Canadians' during the
war were for war purposes only and.
most of this- money has been expended.
The balance is earmarked and is being
spent on civilian war relief. Under the
War Charities Act, it cannot other-
wise be used.
"The per capieta Red Cross contri-
butions of Canadians during the war
were the highest of any country in the
world and we are justified in being
proud of this record.
"We are now faced with the chal-
lenge to conduct great humanitarian
undertakings for the benefit of child-
ren, the relief of suffering, the saving
of lives and the amelioration of the lot
of the men who are still casualties of
war.
"The money sought in the coming
campaign will be for the civilian blood
transfusion service being developed to
meet emergency needs to save life and
health all across Canada; to maintain
and build more outpost hospitals on
the frontiers of Canada, to carry on
and widen the service to disabled vet-
erans and to continue and expand the
numerous other services that are given
in peacetime by the Red Cross.
"The support of all the people of
Canada is asked to make it possible to
carry out this peacetime programme.
The Red Cross is confident that Can-
adians will respond to this appeal, with
the same wholehearted generosity they
displayed during the war years," said
Mr. Bishop.
The objective for town of Wingham
has been set at $3,000.00. Plans are
being made for a canvas .of the town,
and leaflets are being mailed to all in
town.

NOW OVER SEVENTY
LIFE MEMBERS
Will Goal of One Hundred be Reached
Before Next Issue ?
•
The Hospital Membership Roll is to
be published next week. Only thirty
more Life Members are needed to put
the total over the goal of One Hundred
which the committee expects to reach,
What a wonderful thrill our people
would receive if One Hundred Life
Membership names appear in this paper
next week !
Our fine new hospital is worthy of
One Hundred Life Members and in
addition to a pocket membership card
a Life Member receives a beautiful cer-
tificate suitable for framing and has
his or her name inscribed on a digni-
fied Life Membership Roll to be
framed and hung in a place of honour
in the Hospital. A Life Member of the
Association automatically also becomes
a member of The Hospital Century
Club—A Club devoted to promoting
the best interests of our hospital.
It is not too much to expect thirty
additional Life Members before next
issue of this paper. Let us reach our
goal—One Hundred Life Members!

Dr. G. H. Ross Presents Movies
The February meeting of the local
Women's Institute Branch 'was held in
the' Council Chamber on Thursday,
February/20th. In the absence of Mrs.
F. A. Parker, the president; Mrs. W. J.
Henderson, the Honorary President,
presided. The newly decorated room,
the unusually large number of mem-

and the delightful lunch combined to
make this one of the best meetings we

An educative and interesting contest
named "The Streets of Wingham"
was .prepared and conducted by Mrs.
E. Snell. Mrs. L. Hiseler sang a de-
lightful song, "The Hills of Home,"
An amusing and thought-provoking
skit was given by Mrs, F, Fuller, Mrs.
E. Snell, Mrs. A. Coutts and Mrs. R.
DuVal. This little play was written
for and given originally at the Insti-
tute Convention and was prepared to
inform homemakers as to the causes
and hardships of inflation. Mrs. Full-
er took the part of the "hoarder" and
caused a good deal of laughter with her
basketful of hard-to-get soap, nylons,
shortening, etc., and her explanation of
the difficulties she had encountered in
procuring- them, Mrs. DuVal as a
member from the Women's Advisory
Council of Wartime Prices Board, ex-
plained that as wages increased pro-
duction costs rose and necessarily,
prices of commodities soared, and as
this cycle repeats, the wage increases
represent a false gain and in a country
such as ours, made up primarily of ag-
riculturists and small businesses, infla-
tion became dangerous and caused ter-
rific hardship, especially on the citi-
zens and those living on pensions, an-
nuities or investments. The incomes do
not rise in spite of the increase he liv-
ing costs. Mrs. Snell held Mrs. Coutts
stressed sharing and not hoarding as
being the Christian example for us as
individuals and as a nation to follow.
During the business session three
motions were decided on: 1st, meetings
in the future are to commence at 2.30
p.m. instead of 3 p.m. 2nd, a euchre
to be held on the evening of March
7t11.( Notice elsewhere in paper). The
Institute will cater to the Teen Town
Banquet on March 14th.
CKNX notified us of its willingness
to assist the local branch in any way.
Appreciation was voiced for this co-
operative gesture. This reporter feels
that all who contributed to the Febru-
ary meeting 'deserved a sincere vote of
thanks.
