He described a picture of families listening to him in their comfor- table living rooms and suggested that each listener look around his own room and see the many treasures, dearpossibly to only himself, but obtained after con- siderable sacrifice , Then imagine, having, to pick up end leaye these, knowing they will be destroyed by filthy flood waters . While he was speak- ing, we looked around our own living -room and thought what it would mean to 'have the down- stairs even half filled with water , . , Years, of planning and sacrifice would all have gone to no avail . . . An d that is what the Manitoba Mead Relief Fund is for . , , Not to replace personal treasures—no one can do that—but to give to those who have lost everything, at least the basic necessities of clothing and home furnishings Canadians, who have gen- erously supported disaster vic- tims in all parts of the world, should make a supreme effort to help our own, in the worst disaster in the nation's history Let's hope that there will be a concerted effort here in Clinton to that end . , a: a •r.• CLINTON Community Hospi- tal, spotlessly clean and decorat- ed with many bouquets of spring flowers, attracted many of the public Friday afternoon, the an- nual "Hospital Day" . * a * MISS A.

Many Hospital Aid members were interested in see- ing for the first time where their hard-earned money had been spent — in the re -decorating of many of the nurses' rooms, the hall and bathroom at that end of the building, the new cup- boards in the upstairs hall and in the office , :n .
