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, 309 births, for a total, of, 2,111 ad, missions; 2062 discharges, 69 deaths awl-three still-births.

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.

Mr. MacWilliarns said that hos- pital rates as. set up by the Ontario Hospital Commission had been based on the hospital costs. He asked everyone,as good citizens to' see that ell possible heeome Mem- bers of the Hospital -Ineur'ance plan.

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.

WHITECHURCH 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 The Winghani.

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. :0,001110111011111010 o o 0111111 oo 1 o 411.1,100,401111111110100010010110.0111111111111000111/1111010411111.01,14,,Awome I.
