Dear Mr. Editor:— C? ’ For some years past the work that this Hospital has been able to do for the children of Ontario has been seriously cramped through lack ol apace. A point was reached where the Trustees had to decide whether its service should be restricted to the utmost number of “Sick Kids" .whom it could provide with cots or .whether it should add to its room. There are many youngsters suffer- I Ing from afflictions of the spine and Joints, whom only many long months can restore to health and strength. Medical care will help; but what they principally need is fresh air and sunshine. Hitherto the Hospital for Sick Children has looked after such. children in an institution close toy a city playground, where more fortunate boys and girls enjoy their oports.^ imagine their plight, lying month after month listening to the shouts and laughter of other children. in October last, the Hospital for Sick Children opened its country annex devoted to youngsters whose one chance to have their limbs atraightened or their bodies built up must be in some place where they have sunshine and fresh air plus nursing care and medical attention. On a height of land near Weston, away from the murk of the city, children are winning their way back to health in an environment of sun­ shine, pure breezes and quiet. The country hospital at Thistle­ town is a God-send for children whom it will take a long time to cure. It also liberates a hundred cots in the parent institution foT youngsters who can be set right in ft short time if quickly given con­ stant attention. So the Hospital for Sick Children has now two doors to keep open day and night to every class, color and creed. < For more than half a‘century the Hospital has depended for its very existence upon the public response <o its annual appeal which, being in behalf of chiJdre’n. is appropriately made at Christmas time. For over fifty years the tl.P’.S.C. has been enabled to make both ends meet by the donations of its friends, whether such be a dollar or an endowment But the end of 1928 finds it with many large bills to pay tor its new venture To its old friends the Hospital for Sick Children once more appeals, it Is because so many of your readers are included in that ever-growing circle, that I trespass upon your -Apace to remind them that it was their generosity in the past that em­ boldened the Hospital's Trustees to onild for the future. With an extra effort slimuhjfed by a new need, cannot the income of th* "Sick Kids” be un» nnr-e more abreast of Its Urgenr Faithfully yours. IRVING 0, ROBERTSON?

Dinney was thrown from his bicycle on liis way home from school by some boys grabbing his handle­ bars. He received several cuts on his face which, together with the shock, necessitated his remaining home from school for a couple of days. APPEAL DISMISSED The legal news in the Toronto papers announced on Saturday that the Court of Appeal had refused the appeal of Mr. W. J. Kernick ag­ ainst the judgement of His Honor Judge Lewis in the action of Mr. Robert E. Pickard foi* a right-of-way. The majority of the court agreed that the judgment appealed from should be modified. The costs are given in favor of Mr. Pickard. HOME NEAR SEAFORTH DESTROYED BY FLAMES Fire early Friday morning com­ pletely destroyed the home of Reeve Roland Kennedy, on the 7th conces­ sion of Tuckersmith Tp. A garage near the house was also destroyed. Mrs. Kennedy was awakened about 1:30 o’clock, and going doxvnstairs found the kitchen in flames. The family were only able to escape be­ fore the entire house was aflame. Praotically all of the contents were destroyed. The Seaforth Fire De­ partment responded, but the. blaze had gained great headway before they arrived, and efforts to save the home were futile. The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss is partly covered with insurance. A car parked in the garage was also des­ troyed. ACKNOWLEDGE CONTRIBUTION Byron Sanitorium Nov. 16. 192S Col. W. J. Heaman.

Mediaeval Mystery Play Revived The Empress Hotel, Victoria, the beautiful xrrounds of which will be brilliant with holly berries during the season of rivalry, being arranged as an old English Christmas festival. , Imagine Christmas in England in 1328, 600 years ago. The dawn of the Reformation was all but breaking, but the Church still held place of power in state as in religion, and had been for centuries the fount of all learning. A primitive age—rough and relentless, and its people were primitive to a degree hardly conceivable in this age. Rough, hard living was lightened by rough hard play and such church festivals as Christmas were celebrated in carousing and high revels( by those as could command the means for such employment. Religious teaching came to the mass of the people only by word of mouth, and as a means of making the New Testament stories living and understandable, in­ cidents of the Bible story were presented in simple plays as primitive as the understandings of their audiences. They were called Mystery Plays and one of the first of them, and, therefore, perhaps, the first of all plays to be performed in England was the ,story( of the adoration of the shepherds and the Magi, written by Randall Higden, a monk of Chester Abbey and first performed at Christmas in the year 1328, just six hundred years ago. From that day to this is a long time, but there has been a revival of interest in the beautiful things of mediaeval days, and a few years ago the Chester Mysteries were brought to Canada and presented for the first time in America at Hart House Theatre, Toronto University. There they met with instantaneous success, and for several Christmases were a feature of Toronto’s holiday celebration. Later they were pre­ sented as part of a Christmas service in the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto. It will Rext be seen at Victoria, B.C., as part of the old English Christmas celebration that is being arranged to take place at the Empress Hotel there this year. & It will be the central feature of a notable revival of the Christmas customs of England dating from the middle ages down to the time of Dickens and Mr. Pickwick. In the costumes of that periods, singers, actors and musicians will, between Christmas and Twelfth Night lead the revels and the entire celebration will wind up with a costume ball. Victoria is already famous as a winter resort. Its mild, pleasant weather permitting golf and motoring practically every day and its wonderful shlt-water swimming baths have made the most English city in North America an ideal place in which to spend the winter, and with the pro­ gramme of Christmas revels it is likely that the number of visitors to that city from the prairies and from’soxne of the western states will be unusually large? LOCAL NEWS Miss ‘Edith Waltqt is visiting in Hamilton. Mr. Thomas Harton, of London, was in town on Thursday last. » Mrs. J, R. Snider, of Cleveland, Ohio, is visiting her cousin, Mr. and Mrs, C. H.

AND IMPLEMENTS DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK E, P. Chase, Editor of the Atlantic, (Iowa), News Telegraph, says: That the -greatest problem for all local -communities is the drift to­ wards concentration in the larger centres. The aVerage town of ten thousand and less, and for that mat- ter the larger one too, has a goodly per cent, of its business made up by concerns, all of whose profits go away. One is surprised to learn just 11O5V large a. portion of the busi­ ness of every small community in this day is in that category. The communities which support concerns bringing in money from outside are fortunate. The 'dollar which is kept ait home is a most valuable assett to community building. ; In this connection an interesting stunt was staged here some months ago and illustrated in a most potent way what the dollar kept at home will 'do. A dollar was started out from a local bank -and spent by every business man in the business section of the to5vn", each fell05v buying a dollar’s worth of the next fellow’s wares. When the rounds had. been made the dollar 5vas back in the bank from wihich it started, on sav­ ings deposit, and the merchandise which the dollar bought, displayed in a sliO5V window, filled the 5vindo5v. In the same wind055* 5vas displayed a dollar’s worth of goods bought of a mail order* -house. The moral pointed by the display was a strong -one. In the one in­ stance the dollar kept at home bought a truck load of merchandise and was still in the community. In the other the dollar spent witfh the mail order house bought a handful of goods and rvas lost to the com­ munity forever. Notice to Creditors.
