Deficit which MUST be met

Over 9,000 infants and children were treated in The Hospital for
Sick Children during the past year. They came from all parts of the
Province. All were under 16 years of age -most of them came from
the homes of the needy -over 95% occupied Public Ward beds.
Careful management kept hospitalization costs down among the
lowest for children's hospitals in the whole of North America. In
spite of this, the cost of caring for 9,000 little bed patients and of
supplying the medical attention required by 79,410 children's visits
to our heavily burdened Out -Patient Department, was much more than
the revenue received front ail sources.
A Similar deficit occurs every year because the Public Ward
rates are less than the bare cost of hospital service. In some cases
the parents pay, and in others their municipalities shoulder the burden.
In either event, our revenue is at the same fixed rate -about $1.00
per patient day less than our costs.
This Hospital does NOT share in the funds collected by the
Fedzration for Community Service because patients are admitted
from all over Ontario.
Only the gifts of generous citizens make it possible for us to
continue carrying on without stint our work of mercy among Ontario
children.
Every donation is important. Please give as much 'as your
circumstances warrant. This is a worthy charity which deserves
your special consideration.

EXPORT OF EGGS
During the first ten months of t0t.u,
Canadian shipment of eggs to Great
Britain totalled more then 1150,94)
cases, tltc largest on record and more
than ten iilnes the volume shipped in
11)39. There still exists this year an
opportunity to ship an additional
quantity. These exports. made
through regular trade channels and
without any formal agr0entents bo.
twoen governments, - have been - a
strong stabilizing factor in Canadian
egg prices this year. Although in re
cent negotiations no formal eon -
(meta for the export of eggs were
obtained, it is expected that during
11)41 the British ministry of food will
continue to purchase Canadian eggs
in quantities comparable witi) those,
taken this year, aeco'ding to the
minister of agriculture and officials
of the dominion government who re-
cently returned from Great Britain.
These purchases may even be in-
creased.
While maximum prices for eggs
(wholesale and retail) have been
established in Great Britain since
401011ly alter the Neat' began, lggs
have not been placed on the ration
list, and as at result the United
Kingdon government ltas not oblig-
ated itself to its people to nminta111
any assured supply.
With respect to the prospects of
the Canadian poultry industry in
401101al, it is already apparent that,
as a resnit 01 increased Industrial
activity throughout Canada, there is
a material Increase in demand Mr
eggs on the domestic market, and in-
dications that that this will be uecel-
ei'ated during the coming year.
