Hon, McKinnon Phillips, Ontario's
Health Minister, was an hour late getting to town on Monday but he
left Wingham with the knowledge
that a new, 50 bed, chrdnie patients'
wing will be added to Wingham
General Hospital at a cost of $350,000.
More important, $175,000 of this
amount will be paid by provincial and
federal grants. Chairman, Fred la,
Davidson announced that these grants
have been approved. It is hoped that
this addition will relieve the present
congestion in the hospital.
The chairman also stated that the
county council would be asked for
a grant of $35,000 with the towns of
Wingham, Lucknow, Teeswater, Brus-
sels, and Blyth and seven neighbour-
ing townships also to be approached
for aid. Financial aid from the towns
and township would take the form of
a-yearly assessment of perhaps one-
half mill spread over a five year
period.
At present the Dominion gives
$2,000 per bed and the province $1,500
per bed towards the construction of
chronic patient hospital buildings,
The Health Minister made a tour of
the Wingham General Hospital in the
morning and managed to visit all
floors, wards and departments as
well as meeting many of the staff
and touring the nurses' residence.
Mrs. Morrey, superintendent, conduct-
ed the minister on his tour along with
Dr. W. A. Crawford, president of the
Wing-ham Medical Association. Also
on hand were J. W. Hanna, M.P,P. for
Huron-Bruce, and F. L. Davidson,
chairman ofe the hospital board.
Members of the board were introduc-
ed to the Health Minister as were the
local doctors.
Fire prevention was one of the
points that Dr. Phillips was keenly
interested in and he stated that our
hospital seemed safe in that respect.
He particularly emphasized the im-
portance of fire doors which had
proved very valuable in the Owen
Sound High School fire.
Speaks at Town Hall
A large crowd, composed mainly of
High School students, heard the
Health Minister in the newly-decorat-
ed town hall. Chairman Fred L.
Davidson spoke on National Hospital
Day and the problems faced by the
Wingham General Hospital, and its
staff.
Dr. Phillips said, "It's time we came
down out of the clouds and got our
feet on the ground." He was refer-
ring to the large amounts of money
necessary to run the Department of
Health and other departments. "How
much further can we go?" he asked,
"Everyone is asking for more and
more."
Referring to the local board's plans
for a 50 bed chronic unit; he asked
them to consider seriously making at
least part of it, a rehabilitation unit.
"No government should be criticized
for something brought about by con-
ditions", stated the minister, and
pointed out the influx of immigrants
and the lack of hospital building in
the '30's, for the present lack of beds.
Some proposed new legislation was
revealed by the Minister which in-
cluded grants of $1,000 for every 300
sq. feet of hospital space including
corridors, elevators, laundries etc.,
which will help cover the cost of
services. A plan to divide Ontario
into seven districts to equalize ser-
vice to the province and the setting
up of hospitals for each of these
districts was also mentioned. Grants
for detention wards for highly-
disturbed patients may soon be $8,500
from the province and $1,540 from the
dominion, he revealed.
Health Minister Phillips praised the
superintendent and her staff; Mrs. M.
Johnson and the Hospital Auxiliary;
the doctors of this district and the
hospital board for their fine work.

TAXATION INCREASE
STUDIED AT COUNCIL
At a special meeting on Tuesday
night of last week, Wingham town
council struck a rate of 77 mills, an
increase of 11 mills over last year.
This increase has been broken down
as follows. Education, including both
public and high chpols, 3 mills; in-
creased county assessment, 2 mills;
redecorating town hall, 2 mills; error
in debenture requirements 3 mills and
1 mill increase to help meet the roads
budget.
The following statement was made
to council by Mayor W. W. Gurney:
"Having made the statement when
on the nomination platform last Nov-
ember, that we had operated the
town affairs on a surplus basis, and
whereas the final audited figures of
the town books show a deficit for the
year, I feel that an explanation is due.
"According to figures presented to
council the various committees of
council operated throughout the year
under their budget figures and were
in a surplus position at the end'of the
year of about $4,000 including the
payment in full of the town's share
of the new fire truck.
"However, in striking our mill-rate
for the year 1951, the council was
given an incorrect and misleading
figure on requirements to meet the
debenture payments for the year, This
incorrect figure was verified by both
the clerk and the auditor, who attend-
ed the meeting at that time
"Such figure, as set up, was insuf-
ficient to cover our debenture pay-
ment requirements by about $7,500,
leaving a deficit on the year of about
$3,500, Such debenture figures are
fixed amounts entirely beyond the
control of any single council, and
should he taken directly from the
audited statements of the previous
year.
"Such a deficit for year 1.951 will
very definitely affecit the mill-rate for
1952, as the deficit must be raised
during this year."
It was pointed out by the council
that Wingham is on a low assessment
in comparison with other towns. The
members of council looked the esti-
mates over carefully and cut them
wherever possible.
A firm of chartered accountants
will be retained to audit the books
annually in the future, council' decid-
ed..

TO BATTLE C.N.R.
SERVICE CUT
Mayor Gurney was once again
nominated to head a committee, of
towns and townships, affected by the
proposed C.N.R. passenger service cut
on the Palmerston to Kincardine line,
which was formed last year. The
committee, which met here Thursday
evening, decidedsto fight the applica-
tion which the C.N.R. has made to the
Board of Transport Commissioners,
with the help of the best legal talent
available.
A three-man working committee
was also named to take the necessary
steps to appear before the Board.
Selected were Mayor J. R. Auld of
Palmerston, Mayor William Walsh of
Kincardine and Councillor R. E. Mc-
Kinney of Wingham:
Also at the meeting were Mayor
Nickel of Listowel, Mayor L. A.
Smith of Southampton, Reeve Harvey
Johnson, Warden of Huron County,
Reeve Murray Johnson of Wingham,
Reeve Orville Taylor of East Wawa-
nosh, and Reeve J. McNab of Luck-
now, as well as other interested ob-
servers.
Mayor Smith of Southampton and
a delegation represented the Palmers-
ton-Southampton branch who, it is
expected will take similar action.
Each municipal council and town-
ship council was called on to lodge an
individual protest to the Board. It
was the feeling of the committee as
a whole that since the CNI1 would
have to maintain the tracks for
freight trains, it would be just as
expensive for them, particularly if
they were going to run busses and
trucks too,
"We can never go after industries
if they take the railroads out of our
towns," said Mayor Smith of South-
ampton, who expects that 12 to 13
families would be lost to that town if
the service was cut. Palmerston's
representative thought that 20 fam-
ilies would be affected there.
Some concern was felt for the delay
in mail deliveries which would likely
result.
EUCHRE AND DANCE

What Our Hopital Means

very proud of his own community. To
us, who are young, it is a little world
around which our lives centre. As
we grow older many will stray, but
not too far to be interested in the
home community.
In our community our lives are
centred around our church, our school,
our hoipe and our hospital. We all MEMBER INITIATED
need our home, church and school, but
if we are very ill, we depend an the
a great community Centre where
