HUMANIZED • HOSPITALIZATION The following is taken from this week's issue of "Hush." Two children in a Western Ontario village werestricken with appendicitis. Both were attended to the extent of five or six visits, plus medicine by a "country doctor." Both were taken to a county hospital not many miles away, operated on by a skilled local surgeon, and discharged within six days, In one instance the patient had the equivalent of a private room-a second bed being unoccupied at the time; the price was $4.25 per day. Tot- al cost of hospitalization was less than $45, and the fees of physician, sur- geon and anaesthetist were less than $115. In the Other instance the 'cost was probably less because of circum- stances, Fortunate indeed were these child- ren. Nowhere else in Canada could they-and many other sick people- have received better or more prompt attention and treatment at any price. At ,the first sign of distress a doctor was with them-a man who had min- istered to five generations of some families in his field. He took them to the hospital in his 'own car. He visited them daily until they were out of dan- ger, One of them, -oft vacation from the city, was "covered" by insurance, which guaranteed payment of the bills. But that made no difference. If the parents' were poor-which they were not-there would have been no press- ing for payment, no handling over to a collection agency. In hospital, the matron, the nurses, the two internes, the operating surg- eon, the entire staff, were wonderfully. kind and attentive and the food was "fit for a king." Relatives were free to come and go at all hours during the day. In one case the mother was per- mitted to remain all night, and to sleep in the other bed, because the child was crying for mummy. Attendants took pride in arranging flowers in the rooms. This particular hospital-which by the way, is in the town of Wingham, County of Huron-is somewhat unique but nevertheless typical of most such county institutions. It is well built, well equipped, well situated amidst trees on a quiet street near the out- skirts of the corporation, and practi- cally fire-proof; the fresh air of the countryside breathes upon it, and no harsh sounds or smells disturb its in- mates. With a normal bed capacity of fifty, it is sometimes overcrowded, es- pecially in winter, sometimes only half- filled during the summer; the broad average of patronage taxes its capac- ity. If it were twice as big, it would still not be too big for the needs which it meets. Best of all, it is completely paid for-and it pays its way. Its reputation is becoming province- wide-a reputation built on efficiency, square dealing, and "service with a smile." People go to it from far and near; and no one, rich or poor, ever knocks on its doors in vain, Its staff SIXTY YEARS WED Dr. A. F. McKenzie, of Monkton, Graduated From Medical School 65 Years Ago On their 60th wedding anniversary not many men have to worry about going to work-but for Dr. A. F. McKenzie, Monkton physician, it could easily be different. Dr, and Mrs. McKenzie, on Sunday, celebrated the anniversary of their wedding, August 14th, 1889, but the doctor is still in active practice 65 years after his grad- uation from medical school. If there's a call for the doctor, he'll go, as he always has. Monkton people have been ringing the McKenzie doorbell and gtelepholie to summon aid for illness for 54 years. Mr. and Mrs.! McKenzie moved to Monkton from Toronto in 1895; few people in the, south end of Elma Township on the north end of Logan can conceive of a time when the doc- tor was not there, in his big red brick house on the Logan side of the hamlet, Dr. McKenzie, is a native of Wing- ham, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Geo. McKenzie. His medical course was at the Toronto School of Medicine, which was, subsequent to his gradu- ation, merged with the medical school of tre University of Toronto. At the time he took his course, his school was affiliated with the University, and his degree was awarded by the University of Toronto. His first practice was established in Belgrave, Huron County. There he met Margaret Pakenham of Wingham. They were married in 1889, and mov- ed to Toronto, where he practiced for six years. But both were fond of the countryside, they left Toronto for Monkton in 1985 and established their home. Dr. McKenzie stayed in Monk- ton until 1916, after which year, he practiced successfully in Oakville, Toronto and Alliston. He and his wife returned to Monkton to stay in 1925. For a time, during the first war, he was assistant superintendent of the Toronto General Hospital. Yet he feels his greatest service and success have been achieved as a country practitioner. Sunday Dinner At Brunswick Hotel Served from 12 to 1.30 and 5 to 6.30. Three choices of meat, one fowl. Benmiller Eliminates Londesboro In the deciding game played at Au- burn on Monday evening, Benmiller defeated Londesboro 13-p. Benmiller will now meet Stone School in the next round in the W.O.A.A.

Softball played at Wingham Town Park on Friday evening, the Wingham Mercurys defeated Sebringville 13-9. Wingham took an early lead, but the visitors had a big sixth inning and tied the score 9-9, the Mercurys went ahead again in the seventh when they scored 4 runs. Wingham blasted three visiting hurl- ers for a total of 10 hits. Groves and Gardner starred at bat, and Aitchison clouted a triple. Ney for Sebringville knocked a home run. The series is best three out of five, with the second game being played in Sebringville tonight. The third game will be staged at Wingham on Friday evening.

V The Board of the Wingham General' Hospital has completed negotiations for the purchase of the residence of Mr. Ewart McPherson, Catharine St., situated immediately behind the Hos- pital. A residence for the nurses has been. a "must" for some time, and the pos- sibility of having to build such a resi- dence has been considered ever since the new hospital was completed. The Hospital has been greatly over- crowded and the purchase of this resi- dence will partially assist in relieving this situation. Possession will be given the first of next month, and after a few alterat- ions, accommodation will be available for fifteen nurses. With additional changes it could be made to accom- modate twenty-two. The Board is to be congratulated on their decision, it will fill the need and at a great deal less than the erect- ion of a new building.

YOUTH FOR CHRIST SERVICES AT CLINTON Another successful Youth For Christ services was held in the Clin- ton Town Hall on Saturday, August 6th, and was opened by the Youth For Christ theme song, "Youth For Christ and Christ For Youth" sung by Miss 'Zolka and Mr. Des Bell. Mr. Barry Moore, song leader for the London Youth for Christ then led in a rousing song service which every- one enjoyed. The musical portion of the program consisted of solos by Miss Zalka and Mr. Des Bell, both of London. The Ambassador Quartette of the London Salvation Army favored with trombone and vocal numbers. Ross McKay, well known chalk art- ist of London, portrayed the picture of "'Calvary" with his colored chalk. During the drawing of this beautiful picture Des Bell sang "Were You There when they crucified My Lord," after which Miss Zalka Sang "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." The picture was then displayed with color- ed lights. Rev. Roy Pitts from Bethel Chapel, in Illenhiett, speaker of the evening, chose as his text, John 3, verse 38, "What Seek Ye" and urged all pre- tent to "Seek Ye first the Xingdom of God" and let other ambitions follow afterwards, This meeting was much enjoyed and everyone promised to attend the Sept, 3rd. meeting when Rev. Roy Pitts will be the guest speaker, LOCALS AND PERSONALS By W. V. Roy, Secretary-Treasurer The National Film Board circuit sponsored by the Huron County Fed- eration of Agriculture will be operated as usual, starting the fall season, Sept. 12th.

Mrs. John Kelly opened her home to the Young Ladies of the Baptist Church on Thursday evening. To open the meeting, the president, Miss Mildred Jones read a poem en- titled "Enter Ye In" after which the hymn, "Trust and Obey" was sung. Mrs. (Rev.) Coupland offered prayer and Mrs. Frank Collar read a very in- teresting letter which she had received from Miss Laura Collar Missionary in Africa, The devotional period for the evening was taken by Miss Ruth Can- telon, selecting scripture portions from Luke I, 65-79, concerning our five worst enemies, sin, flesh, death, devil and the world. It is true that the Horn of our Salvation, Jesus Christ who was raised up according to the oath of God, to give us deliverance, has actually delivered us from the hand of those five enemies.

This we be- lieve is contrary to regulations. We are unable to compare actual revenues and expenditures with esti- mated amounts as required by State- ment 10, for no budget estimates were prepared for the year. The operations for the year were so conducted that a surplus of $2933.44 has resulted. !This is possibly due to a decrease in expenditure on snow removal.
