' New Rates
The new rates were set by the
'Ontario Hospital Commission, Mrs.
Morrey stated,"and while higher for
the room rates, they included many
services that formerly had been
charged 'as extras. The biggest
difficulty, she stated, is• the prob.;
tem of out-patient care, for which
the Commission pays $5,00 per pa-
tient. This amount 'is not suffie-
ient to cover such services. The ,
new plan has created a great deal
of *ark• and during the year there
had -been 16 'Inspections of the hos-,
pital• by the Commission,
Before giving her statistical re
part, -Mrs. Mo rrey thanked the
hoard for its co-operation during
195Ee and said she anticipated a very
busy year ahead.
The administratrix ' said there
were 1802 admissione during 1988,

Financial Report
A. D. MaeWilliana, chairman of
the finance committee in his. re-
port said that he was, not giving
a full "as audited" report, as' the
'hoard itself had not had an. op-
portunity to look it over. How-
ever, he did give some of the
highlights which were as follows:
Net. Worth, $76,912.63;.- revenue,
from patients, $147,201.13; indigent,
$78,320; special services, V74,600.17;

The film "John Wesley", which
is to be shown at the Salvation
Army Citadel in Wingham at eight
o'clock en Saturday evening, is not
a biography or a histoty of the
beginning of the Methodist. Church.
Neither Of these objectives could
have been .attained, in a 77-minute
film.- Instead, events and incidents,
in the life of Wesley were chosen
that interpret his long struggle to
find a satisfying expeelence of God,
and that demonstrate the outreach
of a ministry which-came with this
deeper faith. It is hoped that these
episodes have been so well chosen
and so convincingly dramatized
that many persons today u will find
their hearts "strangely warmed",
and their Christian outreach more
vital.
The film begins at Eptvorth in
1709 in John's sixth year. Against
a background of corruption and de-
cadence the zeal and uprightness of .
Samuel Wesley stands out in bold
relief. Susannah is portrayed as
the methodical teacher and rnothet
of pee large brood. The, rectory
fire serves to emphasize her 'feel-
ing that' John, as a brand Plucked
from that burning,' has an impor-
tant mission' to fulfill,
The remainder of the film deals
with two basic coriflicts: John's' in-I,
ner struggle to find 'a satisfying
experience with God, and his con-
f4ct with the outside world, the
complacent church, the ruling class
and the mcibs, as he proclaiine with
enthusiasm his new-found faith.
The, inner conflict is highlighted
by glimpses from Wesley's early
life, showing his methodical and
intense striving too achieve his own
lalvation, His sense of failure as
a missionary to the Indians in Am-
erica is further accentuated as he
sees the reality of faith •in the dx-
perience of Peter Bohler, the Mor-
avian. The. experience at the Al-
dersgate Street meeting is prepared
for by, his early morning •devotions
and his visit to• St, Paul's Cathed-
ral, where the anthem, "Out of the
Depths Have I 'Cried unto Thee
0 Lord", struck a responsive chord
in hiS spirit, At Aldersgate, during
the reading of Luther's preface to
Paul's letter to the Romans, he felt
his heart strangely warmed.
The second part of the film deals
with nearly a half century of 'min-
istry, Imrnediatly following his
conversion ,he begins to share his
new-found faith. • As the doors of
the churches are closed to this en-
thusiastic message he carries his
ministry to 'people wherever they
are. This leads to field preaching,
the organization' of classes, schools,
medical clinics, and the beginning
of lay preaching, During these
long years he and his follewers face
mob violence. The filM portrays
only one example of, such violence,
The film closes with the sending
of Thomas Coke, Richard`Whatcoat
and Thomas Vasey to America to
assist tlancis Asbury in supervis-
ing the e;roWing movement in the
New World. This episode is used
-to indicate that the inner exper-
ience of God which WesleY found
and which ete shared in the Wes-
leyan inoverrient was transplanted
to the new continent and -became
the beginning of North American
Methodism.

The demand for new and enlarg-
ed high school facilities is striking
many communities' all in the same
year, This is logical, for the
wave- of student population increase
occurs in tie same years all over the
province. By the same token there
is no logical argument which ,can be
put forward to suggest -that such
schools are not needed.
There is something illogical, how-
ever, in the excellence of service
which must be provided for high
school students, who must be pick-
ed up by a heated bus practically at
their own gates, who must be fed
their noon meal in an up-to-date
JGi..tO lave tlrlti
very latest in gymnasium' facilities.
There is nothing 'wrong -with these
things in themselves. Since they are
P'.1;-o'Vided for our 'beloved• offspring
they must be right.
DISTRICT` SYSTEM
WORKS
A new trend in municipal finan-
cing Which seems to be growing in
acceptance if not in popularity, is
the system of district support for
public institUtions.' Not too many
years ago there was a frightful hue
'and cry when rural municipalities
i Were asked to chip in 7for the con-
struction of schools and hospitals.
TodaY they seem to, be doing so with
little or no complaint.
,What has actually ,happened is
that rural residents have recognized
the fact that if their standard of
living, as far as schools, hospitals,
. etc,. is concerned, is: to be raised to
a par With town and city dwellers,
participation in community-wide
prpitCts is the Only hope. Of Bourse
the improvement ins.winter roads and
nieth.ods of transportation have
ntade such projects much moreleas-
ible.
The intei-esting faCt about This
ffevelOptrient is the greater interest
viThiCh is. being 6;ken by country'
dwellers in - the ,advantages offered.-
Sneaking to the . te6-,,e%pf. one.,of Our
neighboring .foivinsbl'ii.S. the other
evening; he said that when the' pro-
posal to add to the Wingham 'Dis-
trict 'High School was -:first made A
his reaction was to. advocate non-
participation. His initial thought
mas that rural population is declin-
ing while trrhap mitres are growing,
and that the township's should not
be 'asked to ,aid 'further in ,the dis-
trict''-plans. Then, he 'said, he, re-
that .when school buses first
began to bring students to the WDS
there were only about* seven from
his, toWnship attending., Now the
figure has risen- to 40 or more
not becanSe -there are More- families
in the township, but because more
yottrig people are taking advantage
of the opportunity for higher. edu-
cation.
That reasoning, of courser pro-
vides proof of the sound nature of
the district plan. It has opened up
many new ,avenues of opportunity
for those who would not otherwise
have benefited.
xt is with this. same thought in
mind that we have advocated sup-
port of the Wingham District Swim-
ming Pool Fund not only by rest.,
dents of the town, but by those
who live in the surrounding villages
.and townships as well. We will be
equally anxious to see country chil-
dren use the p6o1 and get the bene-
fit of swimming and water safety
instruction.
In the final an, the 'greatest
benefit to be derived from these
district projects is that town and
country people have been given
common intereit. They have these
meeting ,grounds, at which repre-
sentatives from both spheres of life'
sit on the same hoards and increase
tihe knowledge of one another' which

'What is Wrong is the sharp con-
trast offered by public school edn-
cational facilities at thousands of
schools all over Ontario, It is too
much to expect 1a high school student
to walk half a mile to the corner to
meet the school bus, but his little
eight-year-old sister can trudge two
and a half miles to the nearest coun-
try school, carrying a cold lunch,
and wearily wend her , way back
home in a blizzard, at four o'clock,
Many of tire rural public schools
were built well before the torn of
the century and-have not been mod-
ernized to an appreciable extent
die 1\ as
years ago, It must be an awesome
sight for some of these youngsters
from -,the country when they first
step into the marble halls of a new
secondary School,
has led to greater respect on both.
TIME FOR METERS?
Now for the following We might
Well get our ears cut off — but here
goes ! It is possible that the time
- has cotne to think seriously about
the installatiOn of parking meters in.
Yes, we know. Neither towns-
man nor :farmer like these new-
'fangled gadgets 'that swallow tii the
nickels and at times create embar-
rassment for the novice who doesn't
know how to handle them, But at .
the same time they have their merits
too.
Heaven' knows there is plenty of
bitter complaint at the present time
about the lack of parking space in
the town.„- :a-he fellow -who lives
here,says he pays taxes to keep the
darn town g-Oinj.g"and , then he can't
find a place "to park .his car. 'The:,
farrners shont that, the local
ine-rltants want :their biiSiness anc1
the]] ,leave them nt r00.11:1 for
cars''' when' they get out to spend
their money:' • '
Both,arefiaht,'chiefly,because.of
the carelessness and selfishness of, a
eoinParatively few drivers who don't
give a hoot about the other fellow-.
Meters have provided the hest solu-
dart to the problem in other towns
and. have been accepted without .
complaint after the car owners have
had a chance to get used to them.
At least the meters would guar-
antee that there would be an end to
all-day parking on the main street,
and that 'would mean more spaces
for those who come into town to
shop. Perhaps we are .wrong on
this question, brit it -is worth serious
thought.
TIME ''FOR REVISION
Last week a Stratford !c.v.-Oman
was fined because she employed a
12-Year-old boy for delivering par-.
eels-from her shop. There is some-
' thing pretty idiotic -in a law Which
says that' no youngster *tinder 14
years can be paid for doing odd jobs,
There may be some mitigating claus-
es in the Act, but we have never
been .able to find them.
This law was,, of 'course, passed
with the heft of intentions for it was
the outgrowth of enlightened public
thought in the years Which followed
the exploitation of child labor in the
old country . . a -time when un--
pulotts employers made 'virtual
slaves-out of children under the ex-
isting apprenticeship legislation:
The result nowadays, however,
is foolish, Most WiSe parents, urge
their sons to seek some sort of pait
time job „long, before they are 14
years of age, feeling that the lad
needs to gain softie appreciation of
the meaning of work and the value
of money he has earned by the sw
'of his fair little brow, There is
small danger of overworking most
of the boys with whom we have had
any experience, Rather the whole
effort is hard on the parents Who
seek to impress a valuable lesson in
the difficult art of survival',
Surely some modification'in
labor legislation is badly needed. It
is possible that a revision of inspec-
tion standards would be necessary
to make sure that no child was over-
worked, but, that would not be ii
possible.
