The taxes received were on a more equitable basis, 'and the rental was based on the cost of construction, 60c per month house costing $5000 would rent for on $100 capital cost. A.

When snaking his rounds that night he saw a parked car with a license number that seemed familiar, and :remembered that it was a number recently received on a police bulletin. The owner of the car was wanted on four charges of false 'Pretenses in Brantford, Ted immediately arrested him and notified the Provincial Police. -Oh Monday the Brantford. police arriv- .ed in town, a$l he was removed to -that city. This is not the first occasion on which Ted has spotted a license plate from A police circular. Recently he saw a motorcycle, carrying a license of a stolen machine, and on investigation -four motorcycles were recovered. To be a member of The Wingham General Hospital Association is a pri- vilege as well as a duty. It is common knowledge that Hospitals are not mon- ey making institutions and it is a fact that many well run hospitals do not break even on finances but require and depend on public support to keep oper- ating. Our fine new Hospital, filled to cap- acity almost continuously has been able to meet its operating expenses to date. The Building Fund debt has been very considerably reduced. Progress has been good. Wingham is pointed to as an outstanding example of what can be accomplished outside the, big cities in excellent Hospital accomodation. The Hospital Board has broad plans for further improvements in plant and equipment as soon as its finances per- mit. Only a strong Hospital Associa- tion can provide the EXTRA money for improvements and only-by improve- ments can we continue to hold our present position of leadership in Hos- pital Accomodation, Much money for this purpose must come from Hospital Association Memberships. There are many hun*1s- of families in our Hos- pital Service Area and The Board is asking that each family have at least one membership. Payments for 1948 memberships are now being received and it will be much appreciated if 1947 members will make an early response to this request for renewal. Last year, memberships of all kinds totalled nearly four huhdred. Is it too much to ask that we at least double that number this year? There are many who have been looking for- ward to some opportunity to help the Hospital. Here it is! Five Dollars buys a one year membership. Twenty-five, a six year membership, Fifty, a twelve year membership, and One Hundred, a Life Membership. Members are entitled to the privilege of being nominated for the office of .Digector-oLtim,latogrd 40 IV to attend and vote at the annual meet- ing. Life members receive a beattiful Life membership certificate, have their nam- es inscribed on a Life Membership roll to be hung in a place of Honor in the Hospital and automatically become members of The Hospital Century Club. Since the goal of this Club is at least one hundred life members and since that goal is so nearly reached time act- ual election of its officers has been postponed temporarily in the hope that we shall go over the One Hundred mark soon. Do not postpone this im- portant matter. Buy your membership now, Life Membership if possible, if not, the best you can, Make your check payable to ,Mr. W. IL French, Treasurer Hospital Build- ing Fund, Wingham, Ont. The Hospi- tal Board and the Citizens Finance Cotahmittee thank you in AttticIpation of an early and generous response.
