TORONTO FIRM ES
HOSPITAL CONTRACT
Ontario Public Works Minister
Ray Connell today announced
award of the general trades con-
tract for construction of a 300-bed
Ontario Hospital at Goderich to
Anglin-Norcross Ontario Co., Ltd.,
Toronto, This firm, which will soon
complete construction of the 1,250-
bed Cedar Springs Hospital School
for Retarded Children, was lowest
of eight bidders with a price of
$3,4&0,000,
Mr, Connell said work will start
almost immediately and will pro-
ceed throughout the winter to aid
the seasonal employment situation
in Huron County. Included in this
contract arc services and facilities
to allow for future expansion of
the hospital according to local
needs.
The Goderich hospital is part of
a new concept in the treatment of
mental illness. Mr. Connell describ-
ed it as 'being more of the nature
of a home for the aged than the
popular concept of a mental hos-
pital. It will consist of a series of
single storey cottages joined to
two-storey administration and ser-
vice wings, yet there will be no
long -corridors or institutional at-
mosphere. Interior decor will he
bright and attractive, with direct
access from cottages to courtyards.
The site is about two and a half
miles south of •Goderich on No. 21
Highway, with 3,000 feet of front-
age on Lake Huron.
Latex paints, named after the
milk-like juice of the rubber tree,
are actually a development of the
synthetic rubber program of World
War IL They are easy to apply,
have no odor, dry quickly and are
fully washable after 30 days.
BELL DEVELOPES NEW
AID FOR VOICELESS
larynx, for persons who have lost
their voices through surgical re-
moval or painlysis of. the vocal
cords, will be available in limited
supply in Ontario and Quebec
starting in October, The Bell Tele
phone Company of Canada has an-
aounced.
While esophageal speech
method of swallowing air and then
releasing it in a controlled manner
--remains the preferred means of
communication for Laryngecto-
mees, the new device will serve as
a supplementary aid to them and
will be particularly valuable during
the extended post7operation peeled.
Developed 'by Bell Telephone
Laboratories, the electronic larynx
will be offered on a non-profit
basis. The instrument resembles a
streamlined electric razor, -contour-
ed to fit the hand and .designed
to be held against the outside of
the throat while being operated. It
transmits sound waves thinugh the
The Catholic Women's League of
St. Joseph's parish, Listowel, en-
tertained ladies from the Wing-
ham, Brussels, Hesson and St.
Bridget societies on Tuesday even-
ing of last week. The social part
of the evening, was preceded by the
benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment, sung by Father Graham.'
The ladies then gathered in the
parish hall. There were about 100
present with about twelve mem-
bers from Sacred Heart C,W.L..
Mrs. Wilhelm, president of the Lis-
towel League, welcomed the guests
and asked Father Grahain to in-
troduce the speaker, Mrs. Doyle,
Rev. Graham stated in his intro-
duction that Mrs. Doyle -has held
flesh and into the throat cavity,
replacing those normally produced
by air passing over the local tordS.
Speech is' produced by forming
words with lips and tongue just
as in normal conversation.
The electronic larynx will.be pro-
duced in two models, one high-
pitched to simulate the female
voice, and the other with a lower
pitch for men, Both .models operate
on- a finger control basis, enabling
the user to vary the pitch of his
voice over a half-octave range in
order to produce more natural in-
flections of speech and emphasis
on words or phrases.
After practice this control can be
operated with considerable speed,
enabling the user to produce
speech of considerable intelligibility
and naturalness. Speech volume is
equivalent to a normal talker
speaking at a conversational level.
The instrument makes use of
Bell Transistors and is powered by
self-contained mercury batteries
that are obtainable at any radio
store. The life of the batteries ex-
tends over a period of weeks or
even months in normal convbrsa-
tional use. ,•-•7',
The price for the electronic lar-
ynx, which will cover the cost of
manufacturing only, is expected to
be about $45,00. Information re-
garding the device — to be made
available 'on a first-come, first-
serVed basis because of the limited
initial supply can be obtained
at any Bell Telephone business of-
fice.

, number of "first" novels
THE 'HUMAN 'SHORE
by Harvena Richter
is another of these. The title inter,
estvd me—its -source is a poetical
quotation which appears on the fly
leaf.
This is an novel which ostensibly
covers forty-eight hours of time,
• but actually spans thirty-six years
• of a woman's life. From the jacket
I quote: "Every woman will see
something of herself in Nona Rear-
don". :To me such a statement is
a challenge, Being an argumentar
tive soul I set out to disprove this
sweeping assumption. I eould not be
like Nona Reardon, nor would I
wish to he; -but 'along with her and
many other wives and mothers I
suspect, I do occasionally long for
more privacy and freedom of
thought and action, unfettered by
the chains of maternity and do-
mesticity, (There is material in
that statement for a delightful dis-
cussion—this, however, is not the
time nor the place for it),
The setting of the story Is a sum-
mer colony on the shores of New
England. Nona Reardon and her
four young daughters summered
there. Her husband Edward Spent
only week-ends at the beach. Nona
owned Sandpiper House. It -had
been built by her father and she
loved it, the dunes, the sea and
sailing with a consuming passion.
As the story opens, she had decided
to leave her husband, and after

winterizing the .eottage, to • remain
there 'the year round with the
children.
The following day a hurricane
swept the shores and the Reardon
lives are -forever marked by the
disaster thus wrought, The deserlP-
tion of the hurricane makes up
the bulk of the. book, It is- skit..
fully done. Miss Richter makes us,
deeply conscious of its inexorabl
power and of the people caught in
its grasp. There always the
balance of tim great natural force
and then the human reaction -to it.
The characters are clearly reveal-
ed, We are made to understand
Nona even if we don't like her.
It is an absorbing and logically
satisfying book. The prevailing
style of -writing, however, annoyed
me. If Miss 'Richter had ever heard
Samuel Butler's dictum that' "style
is the shortest distance between
two full stops",, then she obviously
didn't subscribe to' it. It is probably
a. personal idiosyncrasy but I like
to read swiftly and smoothly and -to
understand as,I go along. I re-read
only to savour beauty of expression
or thought, at least that is what I
do ordinarily. Miss Richter had so
many subordinate -clauses, asides
and parentheses in -a thind of the
sentences that I lost the subject
before I found the- verb. Many
readers will not notice this, and ff
they do it, will not bother them.
It says something for the book,
however, that in spite of the style
I found it a 'remarkably • fascinat-
ing and revealing tale.
