Our Hospital, . , A?Very Essential Tiling
I11 Gintoii’s Well-Being and Economy .
never so new and equipment is never so
superior -that something else cannot replace ii! In a matter of months, weefe or,
even days. Scientists are working round
the dock to find new cures and new
methods of treatment and hospitals
must stay in the race at all costs.
But more, than a place id-get re^
lief from suffering, the local hospital is
becoming more and more of an'impor-,
tant industry within a community.
* A payroll of thousands of dollars
boosts the area’s economy because Of the
hospital/ People are attracted to. the
town because of jobs* to be found at the
hospital or the feeling of security one
gets from living in a centre where there
are surgeons, internal medicine special
ists, facilities and competent nursing,
staff. s ,
Get on over to the hospital next
Wednesday if you can find the time.
You’ll be surprised at what is there for
your health and the betterment of the
entire community.

AFTER A couple Qf television
prograirtS which' dealt with the inner
.workings of a hospital, people are poD’
haps more aware of the sepyice provided
and the wonders wpooght inside a mod*
erh institution of healing.
We doubt, though, that citizens
are always wise concerning the opergk
tion of a local hospital staffed by friends.
and acquaintances in the community. s
Somehow, the television hospital is more
dramatic and more efficient than arty
that'; could possibly, exist at home,
Z Perhaps this is one of the reasons .
for Hospital Day which is to be held this
year on Wednesday, May iu in Clinton,
Officials feel it is time that the public
was educated as.to the value" of the local
hospital.
We are sure that time spent visit
ing the hospital in Clinton, or any other
hospital in the area, will remind every
one that the world of medicine is chang
ing and challenging. Techniques are

(The line forms on the right for men
and boys , interested in farming for a

THE- OLD idea that educationZwas
wasted on iboys, who intended to' be
farmers was shot- down by the presi
dent of. the University of Guelph who
‘was speaking.<to a group of agrologists
last week. . , ■
• Dr. J. D. MacLachlan pointed out T •, ,, that farmers of the future who operate era.tiQn,a Dr. MacLachlan ibelieves that

INCREASED MILL rates ar,e more
the rule than'the exception in this day
and age, or sor it seems? Just last, week
we learned that tax rates in the town
of Clinton are to rise ’ and . that the
county rates will be up again this fall.
’’The best news any .taxpayer can
hope to receive is word'that councils-
are doing everything to maintain pre- :
sent ratesfor* one more year .
that a tax ‘rise of one,mill was accep
ted though a two mill’ hike was indica
ted. .
Certainly, we , have no alternate
suggestions or, any hew Wiser thoughts
on the subject-of taxation, except to
.note with'all sincerity''that taxes'are
buying a whale of a. lot bf- services
we have come to enjoy. And we wonder
if tax dollars . are not still the .best in
vestment we make in a year’s time.
When we consider ? that through
our taxes we, get free education for our
tained; better, health services; improved
sanitation; police protection; fire pro
tection; facilities for the.aged, the men- But stop, arid you’ll find in a minute,
tally ill, the physically.sick;-and a hun- .

pect, rnaybe tax dollars are among those
which we spend the most wisely-. \
One more thing we know;. As long
,as we ask and; demand more of this
country’s legislators,, we can expect to
pay more? b - -.
we don’t want and seldom need.

Sometime, when you’re feeling
or important, . ‘ .
Sometime when your ego’s in bloom,
Sometime when you take it for granted,
You’re the best qualified in the room,
Sometime when you feel that your

Would leave an unfillable hole, ? ■
Just follow this -simple, instruction,
And see how it humbles your soul..
Take a bucket and. fill it with water,
Put' your hand in it up to the wrist,.
Pull it out, and the hole that’s remaining
Is a measure of how you’ll 'be missed,

There is no indispensable man. • .
