Ontario Hospital School Is Nearing Completion Construction work at the Ontario Hospital School, Palm- erston, is now practically com- pleted and the furnishings are being installed. When these are completed and supplies have been received, the hospital school will be ready to admit patients and begin operation. This will mean staff will have to be employed. As only a skeleton staff will be brought in, most of the em- ployees will be recruited from the surrounding area and will be trained on the job. Because of this, only a few patients will be brought in at first and new staff will get their early training with these pa- tients under the direction of the trained skeleton staff. When they have become proficient, they will become available to care for new patients being ad- mitted to the hospital school. This will be a steadily growing operation until the hospital school reaches its full capacity of 240 patients. The criteria set for the pa- tients being admitted are; that they be ambulatory; that they do not need continued medical attention; that they are between the ages of six and sixteen; that they are from the counties of Bruce, Grey, Dufferin, Huron, Perth, Waterloo and Wellington. Their degree of retardation may range from the severely to the moderately retarded. A training program for the children will be initiated, which will include ward school, (a kindergarten type), academ- ic school, and vocational training. This will necessitate a fairly large teaching staff. The employment available W.I.

Witherden your telephone manager On Holding the Line With the first long week -end of the summer coming up, I'd like to take a little space in the column to pass along some statistics on the highway -accident picture in Ontario, and congratulate drivers for the remarkable sfhowing made last year in holding the death rate down. The Bell's interest in safety is, I believe, well known, and the fact that the Company operates the largest fleet of vehicles in Canada makes road safety all that more im- portant to us. According to figures released by the Canadian High- way Safety Council, Ontario highway accidents took 1,424 lives Last year—three lives more than in 1963. Apart from Newfoundland, which actually lowered the number of deaths, Ontario's increase of roughly one-fifth of one percent is almost incredible—especially when compared to neighboring Quebec and Manitoba, where deaths tra- gically increased 20 and 11 percent, respectively. I sincerely hope that as we take to the road this sum- mer we will not only continue to hold 'dawn the death rate, but actually begin to pare it away as in Newfound- land. Our highways will become safer and safer for all of us if each one — driver, passenger, pedestrian and cyclist alike — will accept a continuing responsibility to see that they do so. Summed up very simply, this means that Road Safety is everyone's responsibility, and all the time. Right? s Outdoors at Home I wonder if Canadians would be so appreciative of the spring and summer if Canada ,had a warm climate all year round? Well, no matter, the fact is that we don't have a warm climate all year round, and so we take as much advantage of it as possible while it's here. This doesn't only mean trips and excursions and picnics and the like, but "outside living" on the porch, patio, or under the family trees. And this can sometimes present a prob- lem because "inside living" has to go on as well. For ex- ample, the telephone is probably considered a part of "inside living" by most people -- perhaps because it's more or less °tied down" by a wire. Yet there are two solutions which let people enjoy as much "outside living" as possible while still keeping in easy touch with friends. One is the Bell Chime, which can be set to ring loud enough to be theard outdoors (it also has a regular ring, plus a soft musical tone that's perfect when a family member is resting), The other is a portable extension with a weatherproof jack. What would you do with an outdoor extension during the winter months? -- Well, you take it back in with you and use it as a regular extension! If you're interested, we'd be glad to tell you more about it — just give us a call at out business office.
