THE NEW HOSPITAL WING.
iltizems of Huron County, who benefit most from
C`
the operation n f Clinton Public Hospital,
are e tern
g
asked for subscriptions toward the construction of
the new wing which, it its estimated, will cost about $90,000,
including building and equipment.
Financing of the project—a large one at any time—
will be as'si'sted greatly by a $25,000 grant from the County
of Huron, 'already made; an expected $20,000 grant from
the Ontario Government based on a figure of $1,000 a
room; cash on hand amounting to $18,000; and a payment
of $2,000 from the Town of Clinton.
That leaves about $25,000 .Still to be accounted for.
The Campaign Conine ttee proposes to raise $10,000 in a
house -to -(house Canvass of Clinton; $9,900 from adjacent
municipalities which benefit most from the operation . of
the Hospital in this community; $5,100 to be arranged.
Representatives of the Hospital Board met repre-
sentatives of the Townships of Stanley, Goderileh; and Hul-
lett, and the Village of Blyth in a conference Dere Monday
evening. The gathering proved well organized and most
enlightening. It served to indicate the places of residence
of those .using the facilities of Clinton Public Hospital.
It' might be mentioned that during the pest seven years,
the people of the town itself have comprised less tham one-
third of the total patients in that period, ,although the
tour has kept pace pretty '+well with the 'rest of the
county in the matter of grants.
The Councils of the neighboring ,municipalities are
now faced with a decision as to their part in the con-
struction programme. The Committee suggests approx-
imately a mill levy, based on the number of patients each
provided in 1946. There is no . doubt but that there will
be the finest possible cooperation in this matter.
Clintanians themselves, however, will be asked to
provide, by voluntary subscription, an amount of $10,000,
;>iihic)li is equivalent to approximately ten mills on the
town's assessment. This, of course, is as it should be.
There seems to be a fine feelittlg of cooperation
running through and sections of the area served by the
Hospital in attaining the objective, and there is no doubt
but that it will continue until .the project is completed.

THE ROYAL TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA
Wten the Royal Tour of South Africa commenced
ill February, The NEWS -RECORD editorially ex-
pressed its interest in the, possible results that
might be achieved economically, politically and socially.
Now that the visit has been completed --the members of
the Royal parity started today an their way home—per-
haps some of the resuli2 might be assessed, based, of
course, on lauthentic reports coursing out of South Africa
by neutral and unbiased observers.
The Christian Science Monitor, publitshed in Boston,
Mass., is regarded as one of the outstandiuig newspapers
in the world. It has "covered" the Royal visit as no other
newspaper which we have seen, has done. The opinions
of its special staff writers on the spot, should be worth
something. From Capetown, South Africa, here is what
one of them has to say:
"Deep meaning for the British Commonwealth is
knit throughout every reaction to the visit of Their Maj-
esties to South Africa. Perhaps the most 'marked develop-
ment since King George and Queen Elizabeth landed here
in February has been the establishment of a new intangible
between the Dominion 'and the Crown.
"Somethihng has happened ,that is similar to what
took place during the Royal tour in. Canada just before
the war. George VI became `their' king. He always had
been, of course, but his reign was personalized for the
Canadians in a way that was almost as significant as the
Statute of Westminster itself.
"This feeling has come now to South Africa. But
the political problems run deep and many ,political 'bridges
will need to be built if the Dominion -Commonwealth re-
lationship is to be cemented successfully. Despite the
United Notions dispute on South Africa's proposal to
amlutex the mandated area of southwest Africa -and Indi'a's
complaint of South Africa's treatment of Indian nationals
- lihe cream and gold train rolled on to triumphal success
with virtually 'all classes of South Africans.
' "One London purpose of the journey, and not an
obscure one, was 'the introduction of Princess Elizabeth as
Britain's future Queen Elizabeth II. The South Africans
have made known their attraction to +her, some even con-
sidering her one of the Empire's greatassets. And they felt
rdvilegbd that from their Capetown, the heiress-presurnp-
dtive delivered her Empire address on her 21st birthday,
Monlday, April 21."
There is only one conclusibn that array be drawn
from the eibove; the Royal visit to South Africa has been
a great success!

SPRINGTIME
The trees are disgorging their' arm-
ful of Spring.
The birds are parading with song on
their wing.
The brewn earth is yawning' and
readynt o rise—
With flowers in her bonnet and tears
"in her eyes.
The children are- out with their
ambles and roes,
Violets and Hepaticas senile from
quiet sunny slopes,
The 'ploughman turns rich sod --
throws ',seeds on the clod,
Then turns trustingly home -a- with
faith in his God.
The shut-ins are smiling and happy
to be out in God's sunshine and
with blossoming trees—
How faithful is ,springtime, -how
gracious her ways;
What Ibortnty she brings us thru
blossoming days—
And from the shy little violet to
the sturdiest tree --a message is
told us of Spring's constancy—
Dear
onstant —
Dear God, I'would thank Thee: Por
birds on the wing, for flowers in
the meadow and the plenty of
spring. For rain and for sun-
shine; .for the turning of sod;
for each day of springtime is
walking with. God,

Personal Loans For
Personal Emergencies
LOW-COST LOAN FOR ONLY
Vs OF 1 % PER MONTH
Life has a habit of presenting us
with unexpected problems that seem
to upset our best -laid plans. Most
of us tackle these problems as part
of the game of life --but every now
and then the lack of ready money
creates additional complications.
The Bank of Montreal's Personal
Loan Plan was designed to help
people aneet such emergencies — to
pay medical expenses, repair a leaky
roof, or other unexpected expenses.
The low-cost loan plan has ,simp-
lified borrowing for many. You can
borrow $100, repayable in twelve
monthly .instalments, for only 27c a
morntir — .and there are no extra
charges. The loan itself, ,which may
be more or less than $100, can be
repaid in monthly instalments over
a lebeeter or longer period, The east
rennains peoportionnately the same -
6°/D interest per annum.
If you need money, and are in a
position to matte repayments, drop
in and see W. H. Robinson, local
manager of the le of M, ' or the
accountant, Mr. Miller. You will like
their friendly, helpful attitude, and
you will find that if year prolrosntion
is sound, ,there's money for you at
