The Slender Thread
by P. J,
I begin this review with a warn-
ing: do not commence reading this
book unless you are prepared to
remain with it. Its compelling
fascination will keep drawing you
back until it is completed.
It is the story primarily of a
man and a boy and yet women, I
know, will enjoy it. Men will like
it too, although they may not ad-
mit it. Gordon Monroe, a writer,
had withdrawn to a secluded cabin
in Vermont to write a novel. His
lite had been riddled by a series of
tragedies and he had become con-
vinced that emotion was respon-
sible for all his troubles, There-
fore painstakingly he had forged
a new pattern of life for himself,
based upon unimpassioned logic,
His books reflected, his credo- am
Yet without realizing it he yearned
for the very human contact that
he pushed aside.
There appeared at the cabin
child, hungry, fearful, obviously
Maltreated Gordon discovers hint
to be intelligent but woefully un-
taught. Danny's patent and im-
mediate dependence on him trap
him. into 'abandoning his logic. He
takes the child to New York,
where he finds they are followed
and temporarily he loses him.
Danny's innate resourcefulness
brings them together again; then
flight, illogical beyond all belief
leads them to the cabin once more,
where th6y are cruelly trapped and
separated. The police enter the
picture and the missing pieces 'in
the puzzle of Danny's background
are fitted in. Thus we, with C,or-
don, 'learn who Danny is and in all
probability who are the people
who have abused him, Why, we
discover, as this unparalled story
unfolds. It blends skilfully psycho-
logical groping, thrilling 'flight
and scientific pursuit.
The plot is original. Gordon
Monroe is an unusual but con-
vincingly real man. We watch him
struggle against his basic desires
and his hard-won philosophy of
living. His tenderness with Danny,
his eventual understanding of
Jane, the woman who loved and
helped them both add warmth and
depth to an already human story.
The heartbreaking poignancy of
the 'conclusion has to be read to
be savoured, In this book terror
and tragedy highlight a faith and
loge compelling in their strength
because they had been so hardly
won. The impact of Merrill's writ-
ing will remain .long after 'the
covers of the book are closed,

The chairman, Mr, MacLean ex-
pressed the appreciation of the as-
sociation to the Auxiliary for their
untiring efforts and Dr. McKibbon
seconded the vote; of thanks.
Action Committee
At the conelusion of the regular
business Charles Coultes, of Bel-
grave, 'spoke of the crowded condi-
tions at the hospital and suggested
that a "ways and means" committee
be formed at once to take action
on a building program. His opinion
was backed by Dr. McKibbon, who
said that he also felt that it is time
to act.
Roy Cousins, who has represent-
ed the Wingham board at a series
of meetings with the executive
committee of the county council,
outlined the discussions which have
been taking place, in an effort to
Secure the necessary financing
Over and above government grants,
at the county level. He said that at
least two more rneetinga are
scheduled' for the next few weeks
and that it appears that progress
is being made toward some solu-
tion, In the light of his remarks
it was decided to defer action here
until the 'outcome of the meetings
with the county becomes cleat'. A.
D. Smith, reeve, of Tor/Merry, and
former hospital board member,
asked about the, method used in
distributing county funds to the
hospitals, and was answered by
Mr, tousling.

not be enlarged. However, Coun-
cillor Buchanan was instructed to
take necessary steps to form, if
necessary, a separate group to in-
clude the council's committee and
other interested parties.
Council settled several other
routine matters. including approval
of a building permit, the petition
to the Department of Highways for
subsidy; the appointment of F.

G. W. Cruickshank as council's

stated that a number of town
properties have reached the stage
where they are ready for tax sales

Council decided to have the owners
notified again before proceedings
are taken. The treasurer also said
that total tax arrears amount to
$28,633.00, which is comparable to
last year.
penstaa Plan
Councillor Callan then reported
that the finance committee had
been again investigating a pension
plan for town employees and had
finally decided on a plan presented
by an insurance company. He out-
lined the proposed plan to the
council, and after a lengthy dis-
cussion was instructed by the
council to obtain the necessary
contract for passage of the by-law
at an early date. The pension plan
will then be forwarded to the
Municipal Board for approval be-
fore coming into effect.
The essence of the pension plan,
is a five per cent contribution by
both the town and employees, with
a schedule of benefits for the em-
ployees when they retire.
Hospital Annual
(Continued from Page One.)
Morrey's report was adopted
on motion of Dr. W. A, McKibbon
and DeWitt Miller.
Hospital Finances
A. D. MacWilliam, chairman. of
the hospital's finance committee,
referred to the recently increased
rate for ward care in the hospital
and pointed out that the hospital
hoard does not set the rate. It is
laid down on the basis of hospital
costs by the OHSC. He also spoke
of the fallacy that the hospital is
making money and the difficulty in
providing new equipment for which
there is no allowance in approved
expenditures,
Mr. MacWilliam said the board
Is very conscious of the overcrowd-1
ed condition of the hospital and
that much time has already been
given to studying the possibility of
adding another wing. Discussions
have been held with architects and
costs have been gone over, the
result being that there is simply
not enough money available to
cover the difference between fed-
eral-provincial grants and the
actual cost of construction,
As an example of the sort of fi-
nancing required to keep the hos-
pital operating he said that at the
end of the year the total of bills
receivable was $77,000, of which no
less than $63,426 was owing by the
Hospital Services Commission.
Revenue for the year was $497,-
890.91, while expenditures totalled
$502,495.82, or an operating deficit
of $4,604.00. Hospital financing, said
the chairman, has become big busi-
ness indeed, with amounts such as
$321,509 for salaries; $16,552 for
drugs; $53,000 for food; $10,000 for
pension plan, etc.
Mr. MacWilliam's report was ad-
opted on motion of R. D. Cousins
and G. W. Tiffin.g re T
Staff
Roy Cousins, chairman of the
management committee, reported
on the various problems which
have arisen in connection with
staff, which now includes 174 per-
sons. Total meals served during the
year were, 184,782. The laundry, as
usual, was an extremely busy de-
partment, 274,872 pounds being pro-1
eessed during the year.
This report was adopted on mo-
tion of Alex Robertson and J. V.
Fischer.
Reporting for the property com-
mittee, Chairman DeWitt Miller de-
scribed some of the maintenance
problems, in the original section of
the hospital, where plaster has
fallen off walls and ceilings, joists
have cracked, etc. The problem in
this area is made more drastic by
the fact that the old wing houses
many of the vital services of the
hospital, such as the operating.
room. 'and children's ward.
The operating room was coin-
pletely rebuilt during 1960. in order
to overcome 'conditions which were
making perfect sanitation impos-
sible, This project Was fairly cost-
ly. The chairman expressed the
opinion that maintenance difficul-
ties in the original wing are, in-
ereasing every year and something
will have to be done shortly to re-
place
lle
it.
expressed his appreciation to
Peter Norman and the mainten-
ance staff for their co-operation
throughout the year, His report
was adopted On motion of William
Elston and Robert Gibson,
