4■ Urged all to make the Hospital -4 real
'community affair not only in name
but in spirit as well.
Now that the people have the hos
pital turned over to them he urged all
to give their support in every way
possible. Our hospital, he said, needs
larger grants and donations to enable
it to carry on. Hospitals in towns
around here, he said, received large
grants. He chided the County Coun
cil and the Government on the size
of the grants given the hospital, In
closing he again urged support of this
great community venture,
-Hon. J. A, Fatilkner s
The Minister of Health for the
Province of Ontario, Hon. J. A, Faulk-
ner, was introduced to the audience
by Mr. R. J. Deachman, M,P. Mr.
Deachman said that the county and
municipalities cannot, must not fail
in ,their duty to the sick. He con
gratulated the Hospital Board on the
giving of this, an.institution free of
debt, to the citizens,
Dr. Faulkner urged all to take up
the torch passed on to them by those
11 who had carried on the hospital, sup
port and improve it, The duty of look
ing after the sick is a sacred one, he
said.
The Department of Health'employ
over one-third of all civil servants in
the Government. The annual expend
iture was 7 to 8 millions of dollars
1 per year, This expenditure looks like
a lot of money but in dealing with
the lives of the people expense can
not be spared, The backbone of the
country is the lives of our people, he
said.
He told of the great development
during the past 60 years in hospitals
that are saving the lives of our peo
ple. He paid a great tribute to Pas
teur, Lister and Florence Nightingale.
Some say the Government should
care for all indigent patients. The
Government is now taking care of
14,000 mental cases. Do you want to
pass over to the Government the duty
of looking after all indigents and de
prive yourself of the privilege, pleas
ure and charity of looking after un
fortunate people. If you take the
small hospital away from the people
it would be a bad thing for the na
tion, he said.
He was sure that the Wingham
General Hospital will be a success.
To-night the founder was honoured
and the. people will not forget those
that have sickness. We are human and
because we are human we have the
angelic qualities of helping one an
other.
He said endowments are all right
but the people who love to work could
build a hospital here that would give
accommodation to-all that need it in
this county. He told the parable of
the Good Samaritan and said that was
the spirit to emulate.
Ontario has 168 hospitals. Wing
ham Hospital receives 60c per diem
grant for indigents from the govern
ment. There are 117 General Hos
pitals, 27 Red Cross Hospitals to
which the Government gives $20,000
to $30,000 a year as well as the per
diem grant, 14 tuberculosis sanitor-
> iums, 7 hospitals for incurables. He
paid a tribute to the usefulness of the
County Homes.
In Ontario the average number of
patients admitted to Hospitals each
day is 621 and the number discharg
ed 665. The greater number discharg
ed ’it due to births. Deaths per day
number 33, and births are 79. The in
vestments'; in hospitals in Ontario is
60 millions of dollars. Provincial
grants for indigents, all hospitals for

1936 was $2,346,399 and muncipal
grants were $4,664,267 a total of $6,
810,667. A" hospital cannot succeed
without a fine community spirit, he
said,
Praises Toxoid
Dr. Faulkner told of the disease
prevention accomplished by St. Cath
arines. Not a case of diphtheria for
8 years. Diphtheria, he said, can be
prevented by the administration of
toxoid. It is the duty of an efficient
Health Officer to prevent disease. In
St. Catharines 17 organizations work
on disease prevention and the cost is
36c per head.
He said the estimated cost of sup
plying insulin free when it was start
ed was $10,000 but it cost the Govern
ment at the time of the election $125,-
000. This was cut in half but no per
son need be without this medicine if
it is needed.
Dr, Faulkner told of the effort his
department is making to check the
ravages of tuberculosis. In 1924 a
travelling clinic was formed and be
tween 1924 and 1935, 40,000 cases had
been examined. 9,000 were examined
in 1936, He said the travelling clinic
would again visit bur hospital and
urged all to take advantage of its ser
vices which are free and confidential.
Application must be made through a
doctor. 20 years ago deaths from tub
erculosis were 160 per 100000, now 36
per lOOOOO.PIe hopes in the near fut
ure to b cable to give treatment for
tuberculosis free.

TODAY’S WAY
There is a character in* today’s
school of Monument design that
sets modern Memorials apart from
the older, time-honored specimens.
There is more of simple, chaste
and hopeful loveliness in these
newer conceptions of what a Mon
ument should and can bp. We
should be pleased to illustrate
these characteristics to anyone now
Considering a-Monument.
Sand Blast where sand blast should
be used. Pneumatic tools used
where they should be used. Buy
ypur Memorials from the Wing
ham Memorial Shop, where you
get the better, granites, the better
polish and finish, the better class
of carving and lettering for less
money. You can save all Outside
High Pressure Salesmen’s long
distance travelling and selling ex
penses, long distance hauling and
trucking and setting expenses and
the high overhead, expenses by
buying yottr memorials from us.
