A HALLMARK OF
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Wingham district must have a lot
of good citizens because worthy causes
have always been well supported here.
It seems to be a well accepted fact that
one who obeys the laws, pays just tax-
es and settles other bills in a satisfac-
tory manner is only doing what the
state requires and legal action would
be taken against the citizen who did
not comply. Unselfish activities, above
and beyond the call of duty, destined
to benefit fellow citizens - - these are
the hall marks of good citizenship.
In next week's issue will be a full
size reproduction of the Life Member-
ship Certificate being prepared by The
Wingham General Hospital Associa-
tion for those qualified to receive it.
The terms of, qualification are so reas-
onable that proud ownership of this
coveted certificate may well be within
easy reach of many who would like
to add his or her name to a list stead-
ily growing in impressiveness,
This certificate, framed and hung in
home or office would be a constant
source of pride and satisfaction, an
indication that you are participating
unselfishly in supplying a service to
the sick of the district, available only
because of the generosity of good citi-
zens. Names of Life Members are al-
so to be enscribed on a special Life
Membership Roll, framed and hung-in
a suitable place in the Hospital.
The Hospital Board has endorsed an
offer whereby you may pay the $100.00
Life Membership fee over a period of
20, months. You may pay as little as
$5.00 in 1946; $60.00 in 1947 and the
balance, $35.00 by July, 1948. For
your convenience $5,00 monthly pay-
ments may be arranged at your bank
or if preferred you may pay in lump
sums either at your bank or mail your
cheque to Mr. W. H. French, Chair-
man Hospital ,Building Fund, Wing-
ham, Ontario.
If you are unable to have a Life
Membership now you may buy a 6 year
membership for $25.00 or one year
membership for $5.00. We have $18,000
to raise to make our $200,000 Hospital
debt' free. All membership fees this
yeae are..going„tu, the .;,builti i lig fund.
Your fee; no matter what size, will
help. Suitable membership cards
have been prepared and remember, to
belong to The Hospital Association is
a hallmark of 'good citizenship. Every
family should have at least one mem-
bership, some have already far exceed-
ed that suggestion. Will youur,. name
be on the list of members to be pub-
lished soon? If we really appreciate the
meaning of Christmas we will want to
do something unselfish. This is our
opportunity,

A CAROL ON
EVERY CORNER
Returns from the Christmas Seal
Campaign are rolling in-Mr. J, H.
Crawford, the treasurer for Wingham
and district reports many calls at his
office and many supporting the fund,
Miss Lillian Irwin, Secretary for the
Goderich district reports a grant of
$250 from the Goderich Town Council.
Dr. Hodd of Blyth and Dr. McKibbon
of Wingham, made it clear in their
broadcasts that the menace of tuber-
culosis lies in its not being discovered
till it has established itself and be-
come active. They stressed the value
of Xray examination for every indiv-
idual in the county. The County
Tuberculosis Committee is counting on
good support from every township as
well as from the towns and urges that
the support of so valuable a service be
both general and generous. Every
contribution will be acknowledged and
a statement covering the whole county
will be made at the end of the cain-
paign.
