Canada is a country ofbeau-
ty. We have rivers for fishing,
the mining industry and out in
the prairie provinces there are
fields of waving grain. The
snow-capped mountains look so
beautiful. The citizens of Can-
ada have enough food to eat and
even waste some, where as,
over in Japan, China and Russia
they don't even have enough to
eat. We also have Freedom of
Religion to believe as we
please. Our forefathers fought
on land, in air, and sea for our
country. Our Government pro-
vides schools for education and
when they have finished school
Canada has colleges to attend
to and a course for a good edu-
cation to do what you are suit-
ed for. Canada sends many
exports out, such as newspaper,
wheat, lumber, wood pulp,
aluminum, nickel, copper pro-
ducts barley, asbestos, and
wheat. Canada also has many
other exports, Canada trades
with thirty other leading coun-
tries. Canada sends her exports
and imports by boat, airplane,
and train. Canada, also has
many water ways. In Canada,
we have hospitals to care for
the sick and the doctors save
many lives. We do not have
earth quakes or air raids ortor-
nados. We have many ways of
communication such as radio,
telegraph, telephone, and writ-
ing. All of Canada's citizens
know the national anthem "0

tory by stating, "Faith means
that with all my heart, soul,
mind, and strength I am to do
the will of God".

ing report on the life and cus-
toms of the Falani people of the

Hospital Board Will
eet Architects
The board of directors of the
lWingham and District Hospital
swill meet with representatives
!of four firms of architects with-
in the next week. Arrange-
lments for the meetings were
!concluded at the board meeting
held at the hospital on Friday
!evening, when Chairman R. B.
!Cousins presided.
The need for an addition to
the hospital building has been
under discussion for many
months, the most recent deve-
lopment being a suggestion
from the Ontario Hospital Ser-
vices Commission that a second
storey be added to the north
wing, the centre wing being
converted to a service area in
which new operating rooms,
obstetrical rooms, recovery
rooms, etc., would be located.
The report also carried the
recommendation that the ori-
ginal wing of the building be
removed and that the basement
section, in which essential
electric and water services are
located, be capped over.
Several architects have in-
dicated their interest in the pro-
posed rebuilding and conversion
