SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1949.
HYDRO TRANSFORMER
, PLANT FOR SEAFORTH
Announcement was made this week
from Toronto that a Hydro trans-
former substation will be built at
Seaforth to be used in the change
.over from 25 to 60 cycle power.
It is understood that seven acres
of land has been :purchased by the
H.E.P.C, on the McKenzie farm 11
miles east of Seaforth, just north of
'the C.N.R. tracks. It has been sur-
veyed and staked out and it is ex-
pected that work of construction
will commence diihontly.
There are to be two other such
sub -stations in Western Ontario, one
at London and one at.Strathroy.
Not many men are . expected to be
employed to operate the transformer
station.
The site of the new substation has
some local history, having been the
place where the old Kidd salt well
was Iocated. From ,there the brine
was pumped in wooden pipes along
the railway tracks to Dublin where
the salt works were located.
According to old residents, the
boiler blew up one day at the pumps
ing plant, killing the man in charge.
That was the end of the salt project.
It is believed that this point is the
extreme easterly edge of the salt
beds for which Seaforth was once
famous.

ing ' at the home of Mr. and Mss,

To Dan and 'Muriel -Today marks
a very important occasion in each of
your lives; indeed this is your day
of days, and we, your friends are
here to congratulate you, and wish
you many happy- wedded years to-
gether. Just to have a little corner
in your home, in memory, will you
please accept these tokens of friend-
ship, in the words of the poet we say
to you:
"We would like to give you sone -
thing
That nothing can overthrow—
The power to smile and laugh the
while
As toiling through life you go.
But these are mere fanciful wishes,
We will wish you God speed instead,
When we clasp your hand, yon will
understand
The things we have left unsaid,"
Signed by Ed. Andrews, Keith
Sharpe and Neil Hopper, on behalf
of your friends and neighbors,

burn and Hugh Currie of Staffa.
DUBLI'N MAN PRIZES '
RED OLD GAELIC BIBLE.
and ylr. Archie Forbes of Dublin
brought to the News Office this week
Jos. a New Testament more than one
undred years old which had belong-
ed to his mother. It is Printed in.
Gaelic and was brought by her from
,her home in Scotland. There are not
many people living in this country
now who can read the Gaelic. In fact
Mr. Forbes says that only one per
son, a salesman, who came to his
home in recent years, has been able
to read it.
Yet the old Bible shows that it
was given much use in the early
years, the original cover having been
worn out and replaced by a heavy
leather .binding which •also shows
signs of much wear. One wonders
how many modern Bibles get so much
use as this.
Mr. Forbes' mother was Miss Mary
Jane Butters before her marriage and
she had 'lived in the Goderieh district
after first coming to Canada. The.
family have been Dublin residents
for a great many years.
"The only Gaelic I remember," My.
Forbes said, "are the words for
'Good day'. I say them when I meet
Sandy McKellar of Cromarty, and the
replies to me in Gaelic."

HURON PRESBYTERY
DEPLORES SUNDAY LABOR
Huron Presbytery, met in Ontario
St. United Church, Clinton, on Mon-
day afternoon, February 28th. The
Chairman, Rev. W. A. Beecroft,
opened the meeting with worship, in
which Rev. G. C. Weir led in prayer,
and Rev, U. Cronhielm preached the
sermon.
Presbytery adopted the following
resolution, presented by Mr. N. W.
Trewartha, Clinton, President of the
Lay Association of Huron Presby-
tery; "Whereas the practice of con-
ducting farm operations on. Sunday,
such as tilling the soil, harvesting,
combining etc., is becoming prevalent
in this Presbytery of Huron, be it re-
solved, that we, the Lay Association
of Huron Presbytery, of the United
Church of Canada, call upon all
Christian people throughout the
Presbytery to refrain from, and not
in any way countenance, such labour
on the Sabbath. Our / pioneer fore-
fathers could sow their fields, and
cut their crops with the scythe and
cradle, and harvest them, without re-
sorting to Sunday labour, Surely we,
in this highly mechanized age, with
all our equipment, could do so with-
out desecrating the Day. We are in
imminent danger of losing the heri-
tage of our ,christian Sabbath, that
our forefathers have passed down to
us. A day spent in rest and quietness,
and worship, is surely what this age
needs in these feverish times. We in
this day greatly need to learn that
man does not live by bread alone.”
Rev, George Dorey, D.D„ Toronto,
Se(n'etary of the Board of /Tome Mis-
sions, was present, and spoke about
the Home Mission work, and the pre-
sent Campaign in connection with
the Ministerial Salaries. Huron had
his admiration because for years
there had been no charge in the
whole Presbytery, that received aid
from the Home Mission Board, He
stated, that there were encouraging
reports of increased salaries from
various .parts of the United Church.
It is the earnest hope of 'the National
Committee, that none of tho charges
will be below $2100 in the year 1949,
$2200 in 1950, and $2400 in the year
1951.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF
SCOTT MEM. HOSPITAL
Financial Report of Scott Memorial
Hospital for year ending Dee. 31, 1948,
For its 1948 operations, Scott Mem-
orial Hospital will show the largest
deficit in its history, On Feb. 17th, at
the monthly meeting, the board re-
ceived the financial statement .for the
year. The operating deficit will
amount to $14,623.14, according to fig-
ures released this week by W, H.
Finnigan, Chairman of the Board.
This figure would be reduced con-
siderably by grants from the province
and from other sources but if these
grants .are applied on operating ex-
penses there will be nothing left for
depreciation of property and plant and
no reserve for replacements, new
equipment and other capital needs.
For some time the financial position
of Scott Memorial Hospital has been
precarious. The hospital has been
forced to carry on under ever-inereas.
ing financial strain. It Is, therefore,
important that those whom the hos-
ni'tal services should understand why
this situation has come about and
why it is, urgent that a revision of
finances be made by the authorities
Concerned, to place our hospital on a
sound financial footing.
Increased costs are a motor factor
in the rising scale of deficit shown,
Par instance, the cost per patient day
is 86.95 while the payment for indig•
ent patients is only $255 per day.
Increased salaries and wages are an-
other factor; they now make Up half
of the total expenditure. Private gifts
to hospitals are almost a thing of the
past and cannot be relied upon to help
in a. financial way.
The statistical report, giving com-
parisons for 1947 and 1948, is as fol-
lows (the figures tor 1947 being in
brackets); Admissions 724 (669);
births 173 (191); deaths 38 (26); dis-
charges 854 (827); still -births 2 (10);
out-patients 49 (40); operations 378

and the uncertainty of ice this series
had to be changed ,to a sudden death
game. Therefore the Black Hawks
eliminated the Canadiens and Bruins
eliminated the Maple Leafs; incident-

this is the first game Rooster
Muir's Bruins have won to date and
look like a good bet to eliminate his b
