The hos- pital wing has an infirmary and 4-bed recuperating room, There are ample washrooms throughout the building and the above rooms make up the first and second floors. In the basement there is a huge play- room for cold or wet days or for those not able to go out due to minor illnesses, a supply room, a sports equipment room with every- thing neatly in its place.

Another special treat in summer are the outdoor 'barbecue or Sunday suppers in the cottages. The child- ren love these and are eager to help carry the food over and return the dishes to the main kitchen afterward, and generally help clean up, -On these nights it is really like being in a real home as -both "mother and daddy" are eating with "the family." Birthdays here, as in any child's life, are a highlight and the day we toured the village was little Mary's. A cake beautifully decorated with White, pink and -blue icing, "Happy Birthday, Mary" written across it and twelve pink candles sat wait- ing for supper time when the entire staff and children would sing "Happy Birthday". Lieut. Grundy, epretty, friendly girl with a wonderful personality took us on tour and was eager to answer all our questions. She as- sured us that the usual problems are encountered—have you got youi homework done, it's bathtime, hurry or you'll be late for school, etc., hut things are kept running smoothly. Of course outdoor play equipment, toys and the big indoor playroom clo help a lot, but I am sure a great deal of patience is also required. Most of the children come from .brolren homes, although a few are private cases and they also work with the Children's Aid. Although they do not take children under school age as a rule -(from 6 to 17 years is usual), little Kevin and Kerry, ages 2 or 3, were not turned away and though they had been' in. seven different foster homes in three weeks after their home broke up, they have now settled right in at the village in less than two weeks, which speaks well for the staff in this wonderful home. I am' sure it is also a. great relief to their mother to know they are so Well taken care of while she must work. They still enjoy her love and care en week-ends, when they go home with her. They look forward to the week-ends and yet do not make any fuss when they return. • They are fortunate enough to have
