During the month a total of 2562 patient days was accumulated, for a daily average of 85 patients. W. B. Anderson, chairman of the finance committee, read the financial statement for last month and commented on the fact that accounts receivable are increasing. He indicated his concern lest this trend con- tinue. It was decided that the old ironer which has been replaced by more modern equipment, be sold for scrap at once, since the space it occupies is needed for other purposes in the laundry. A washing machine which has also been replaced by a newer model will be retained for em- ergency use. DeWitt Miller, chairman of the management committee, reported that he had found a buyer for the 45 K. V. H. diesel - powered generator. He had re- ceived an offer of $1500 for the machine. The board agreed to sell it at this price. This gen- erator, which served for sever- al years as a stand-by source of electricity, was replaced some time ago by a generator of lar- ger capacity. Board members were provid- ed with copies of the increased schedule of grants issued follow- ing the Ontario government's decision to up the amount of money which will be provided for the construction of hospital facilities.

Council Winds up Business for 1963 The final meeting of the 1963 council was held at the town hall on Monday evening of this week. It will likely be the last meeting for Councillors Nasmith, Crawford and Buch- anan who did not run for re- election earlier this month. Before the meeting adjourn- ed Mayor Robert Hetherington complimented the three coun- cillors for their efforts over the years and said their absence on council will be a distinct loss both to council and to the town. He said their many years of business experience have been most useful and that it has been wonderful to work with such people. He went on to say that he felt it was too bad that the councillors had not decided to run for higher office, and ex- pressed the hope that at some future time they will again of- fer their services to the town. BUSINESS During the business session Major Robert Ritter, command- ing officer of the 99th Battery, visited the council and request- ed permission to build a car port type of structure to protect the army vehicles, stored near the firehall, from heavy snow. Permission was granted subject to the approval of the chairman of the public works committee. This discussion prompted Councillor Alan Williams to ask if it was necessary to have the • REAL PEP PILLS—That's a hand you see before you . . . and between the thumb and forefinger is a piece of plastic. In the centre of the plastic is a pellet of uranium oxide, the energy source for the nuclear power station being erected at Douglas Point. When the plant is in operation 24 of these pellets will be enclosed together to make up an ele- ment and 19 elements will make up a fuel bundle. The chief point of interest in this picture is that the single pellet here is equal in heat energy to one ton of coal.

He wondered if it could be torn down as it was an eye sore, and suggested that if the platform could do without cover a small building could be erected for the scale's beam. Deputy Reeve Joe Kerr said it was an old scale and he did not think it would be wise to have the platform left with no protection. It was left on motion of Councilor Nasmith that the property committee look into the subject. The clerk read a letter from the Department of Lands and Forests which stated that ap- proval for $5,600 in grants for park expenditure had been giv- en. Councillor Nasmith, report- ing for the police committee, said that council had questioned the use of a fourth constable at various times and that Police Chief Miller had given him a satisfactory explanation. He said that Ted Whitby, while he is town foreman, fills in for the other constables during their time off and that Constable Waite had been off work for some time with an injured an- kle. Reeve J. Roy Adair reported that everything in the public works department was under control, however, some discus- sion on ice and snow problems did arise. Councillor Williams said that he had heard a number of complaints in regard to the use of the arena, but he was no lon- ger on the Arena Commission. He suggested that those with complaints should write to the commission or go to the com- mission meetings. Most of the councillors agreed with this statement. Reeve Adair, who is also chairman of the Arena Commission said the complaints have not come to him. 1 -le went on to ask the press to inform the public that if anyone has a problem in connection with the arena, contact should first be made with the arena manager and if the problem cannot be settled then to approach him- self as the chairman of the COM- M iSSiOn. onnmission. Councillor Williams also suggested that council should look into a report in The Ad- vance -Times regarding a gate for use on a snowplow which would assist in keeping drive- ways clear. The clerk was in- structed to make an attempt to obtain the information, At the Hospital Patients admitted to the hos- pital during the week were: Brussels 1, Lucknow 1, Tees- water eeswater 3, Wingham 5, Ashfield Twp. 2, Carrick Twp. 1, Cul- ross Twp. 5, Elma Twp. 1, Howick Twp. 10, Kinloss Twp. 5, Morris Twp. 3, W.

HEADING FOR HOME The record flight of a hom- ing, or carrier' pigeon is near- ly 1200 miles and that the best homing pigeons can regularly fly home from distances of 200 or 300 miles, is noted by the Encyclopedia Americana. Wind and weather permitting, the pigeons will average about 60 miles an hour on the homeward flight.
