This Hospital has met every enaergency which has
developed during the 63 years of its existence: n is
famous throughout the civilized world for the sucaess
and efficiency of its medical and nursing staffs and
for the low cost at which it is operated.
And who pays for this humanitarian work? The
doctors give their time absolutely free. The Ontario
Government pays 60c per Patient per day and the
patient or the patient's municipality pays $1.75 on the
same basis. That leaves over $1,00 per patient per day
of bare cost for which we must appeal annually to
humane and generous citizens. This Hospital does
NOT share in the funds collected by the Pederation
for Community Service because patients are admitted
from all over Ontario.
This year, over $83,000.00 is needed. That means
over ten thousand donations if they were to average
$8.00, each—or over twenty thousand averaging $4.00.
Certainly, a staggering total! So, please make your
gift as large as you possibly can. If you cannot afford
more—remember that even a dollar bill helps pay
for the care of somebody's baby.
Kindly mail your donation to the Appeal Secretary,

any of our much-needed revenue for canvassers or other
organized effort to collect money.

The discovery of this enormous de-

the route of the Canadian pacific
Railway was being cut through the
bushland to Sudbury. Through er-
rors of calcul-ation, the survey ran in
a totally opposite direction from the
intended one. This blunder, with its
blasting, revealed the existence of a
p,eeuliarly - coloured outcropping of
rock. This was the birth of the Nickel
Industry in Canada.
The contributions of nickel, of
which Canada controls almost nine -
tenths of the total output, to the
world are many and varied. Its pre-
dominant value today is as an alloy,
as it adds lightness, atrength, tough -
hese and durability to steel, iron and
copper conibitations. Airplanes,
trains, automobiles, machines of al-
most all kinds, owe their great ef-
ficiency to the inclusion of nickel in
their structure.

FINDING PICTURES

WHEN one is taking pictures—se
Y V the winter or any other time—
there are just three things to seek.
They are: interesting subjects, or
interesting occurrences, or inter-
esting effects of light.
Any of these—or ,all together—
will yield good pictures, and you can
end them almost any -where. •
At random, 1 have set down a list
of winter picture idees—just sug.
gpstione to set your hnagination
working,. Load up your camera, try
them—and Pll hazard the guess that
you can turn out dozens of good
pictures in the next few days.
First, snow pictures. Can you pic-
ture the sparkle of sunlight, tailing
across new snow? Curious shapes
of Ono w in drifts, on trees, on shrubs
• and fences. Childresi sledding, or
throwing snow.balls? Shadow pat-
terns on the snow? Neighbors
eling suow from the house walk? A
horeedrawn sleigh? Tracks of peo-
ple, or Weds, or rabbits, ie the buow?
Snow falling, soft and white, , out:
side your window? Paths beaten to
barn or garage? Birds 111 the sinow,
pecking at crnmbs'? All those will
make good picture%
Then, cold weather. Oen, you put
cold Into a picture—so that thei
viewer feels it? How about a pic-
ture of an old horse, nuzzling as
frozert-over water trough? Icicles
hanging from a faucet or pump
spout? Prost on the kitchen window-
pane? Paesersby, bending into the..
wind, snuggled deep into the collars%
of their overeeats? Someone scat-
tering cinders on an ley pavement?'
A small boy, rubbing his frosty ears.,„
with mittened hands? An old auto-
mobile with radiator -spouting
steam? A Stretch of o -pee country
-
with seen/ clouds dark above it?''
These are good pictures—they tell
the story of winter.

contrast, with the cold outside. Have •
you tried fireside pictures? Pietureee
