Thorson Mlni1t r COMMUNICATION .Rrrput, Editor The SeaRfot', th2, NeGews,—.ie, At this critical time in our coun- try's life, when all that we hold dear, freedom, liberty and the right to say and do as we will within just limits are at stake and when we have been told by all the leading men of our country both public and private, that every dollar is and will be needed to win the war, and when each and .ev- ery one has . been asked to sacrifice and save in every possible way and invest in 'War Savings Certificates; also all municipal authorities have been asked and warned to cut expen- diturec and thus help the war effort in every possible way, what support` has our County Council given us as an example of leadership during the past year as au example of leader- ship .to the municipalities within the county and to our citizens, In the first nine months of 1941 they spent on maintenance of the county roads 565,847,23, our pres- ent roads must of course be kept in , good condition if at all possible. Ong construction they spent 563,668.98, $12,625.83 of which was used in wi- dening, cutting and streamlining the road north of Brussels. This Was • a gravel road and in good condition, ! which with proper maintenance such as gravel and dragging would have carried all the traffic, which will go over it in these years of war, as if has no military significance. $23,- ,' 358,54 was spent on road No. 3, in Tuckersmith and the balance in vat'- ious places throughout the County,' The ' Road Commissioner or the county engineer also bought new machinery at a cost of $20,816.50. 1' When our men from this county 1 are offering their lives and some have already paid the supreme sacri- 1; fice for us, are the county council not willing to sacrifice their pet road program? Last summer we were all asked to cut out all unnecessary driv-, ing and save gas. Did the county back up the gas saving campaign? No. Did they cut their road expendi- y zor the war ez- fort? No. Did they set an example of leadership in their county in a genu ine, win the war effort, when they allowed this` expensive, extravagant_ road to be carried out? No. I submit, Mr. Editor, by their actions: 'this past year, they have extensively! injured our war savings campaign, .and they are pointed to by a large number of ratepayers whom I have: interviewed, who ask why should I sacrifice or save. when the county' keeps on building roads like the one, north of Brussels, which is not need- ed. Who are we helping, Churchill or Hitler? As one of the leading counties of, the province .I would strongly urge cur' county council to discontinue road construction for the duration of the war and thatthe money thus saved be used for the purchase of planes, tanks, guns or other war ma- terial'. or to reduce the tax rate ac- cordingly that the residents of this county may put more into war 'sav- ings certificates and stamps, By do- ing so they would set a worthy exam- ple of leadership, patriotism and sacrifice and thus snake a real 100 per cent war effort. I might add that the council of the Township of How- ick, of which I am a member, have not constructed any roads for the past two years, just maintenance and repair work is carried on. Thanking- you for your valuable space, I am Yours sincerely, E. H. Strong. CONSTANCE Popular Young Man Honored Around 60 friends and neighbors gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Adams on Tuesday evening, Dem . 30th, to honor their son Kelso, before heleft for Galt to enter the Aircraft School as an.areo mechanic.

The following was the address—Dear Helso:• The call for help to king and country has been answered by one of our young men who is cheerfully giv- ing his services to defend, our home- land, re is with pride for your cour- age -in the decision you have made that we have assembled to -night to. express our good wishes to you for the heroic stand you are taking, and we know you will prove yourself one of the best aereo mechanics.

A reunion of the Hamiltons at the" home of Mr. Robert, Jean and Agnes W1;, All English Mothers Now To Be Put On Diet Developed In Ontario k Expert Has Eyes Opened by System at Hospital For Sick Children INFANT DEATHS CUT During his recent visit to Canada. Sir Wilson Jameson, chiefmedical officer of the. British Ministry of Health, stated that immediately upon his return to England he would be puttingall expectant mothers in Bri- tain on the diet which has been worked out by The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Sir Wilson said that he lad learned much in the few days of his visit to Canada about "things which I hope to take back and put into immediate operation." "Here is one example of what I mean, having to do with the all-im- portant subject of nutrition, which will, i am confident, assist us to win the war, Work hal, been, going on here, in which, by perfectly simple adjustments In the diet of expectant mothers, ,you have reduced what we have hitherto considered to be un manageable deaths of infants under one month 0f age. The' work has been done here through ,your magnificent children's hospital. I'm gaiieg to put It into effect at-home, I'm going to go back. and de it at once. Pin sure that this extremely valuable work being done in Toronto Will be of great help to us, We've done what we could but we didn't think of this." Some Idea of the immense Value and wide scope of the work of The Hospital for Sick children may be formed by considering the fact that during the past year alone, over 9,000 sick and crippled: children were given treatment In the Public Wards, While the Out -Patient Department handled over 73,000 visits from suffering little ones. 'Unlike most other hospitals, this great Institution has no large group of Private Ward beds from which to draw extra revenue which can be applied to Public Ward service, At present 414 of the 434 beds are in the Public Wards. In these Peblle. Wards, over 80 'doctors give their services without charge, The time donated free by thio group of doctors, which includes many of Canada's leading child see. clailsts, bas been estimated on a con- servative basis to be worth et least' $2oo,000,00 per year, if tees were charged. Their skill, acquired through many years of active 'work with the most difficult type of ''prob- lem" cases, cannot be measured in dollars and cents—it is priceless. The Hospital for Sick Children lo-. operated for but one main purpose- to give the children of those in hum- ble circumstances the same chance for health and happines as the chil-' dren of parents who can afford the full cost of hospital care and medical attention.. And, to be effective, medical treat• ment and hospital pare must be given at the time when it is most needed,, There can be no second chancefor many neglected children,` Chronic disease, life-long .disfigurement, de- formity made permanent, and. DEATH—these are • the undeserved penalties which neglect inflicts on such little ones. That'is why, regardless. of race, creed or .financial circumstances, children .from every part of Ontario are given medical and hospital treat- ment up to—and oftenbeyond—the. normal capacity of The Hospital for Sick Children, Operating costs are among the low- est in North America for institutions of similar type—so low that this Tfos• pitta's efficient operating method has been cited as an example on many occasions when hospitalization costs have been under discussion, In The Hospital for Sick Children Less than five per cent, of the patients are in private wards, These are the only ones able to pay the full cost of their care, This Means sthat 419 of the 434 beds are in Public Wards where the cost per patient is approxi- mately 51;25 per day more than the combined income from parents (or. their municipalities) plus the Gov- ernment grant. That is why each year at Christmas time, the Hospital appeals to the char- ity of generous Citizens and business firms for donations to meet its un,. avoidable deficit, This year, over $112,000,00 must be raised, No help is received from 'the To- ronto Federation fcr Community Ser., vice as patients are taken from all over the province. Gifts shbUld be mailed to the Ap- peal Secretary, The Hospital for Sick Children, 07 College street, Toronto, There is dive necessity behind this appeal for help --little children de- pend on it for their chance for health.
