Mrs. Bailey was taken to Clinton Hospital for treatment, but bas since returned' home. A former well-known London businessman, Joseph A. Beech'fe, 61, was found dead at Bayfield on Friday. Death was attributed to a heart attack. The former manager of the Hunt Milling Corporation had lived retired in Bayfield for the past 12 years. George Steven- son, working at a house across from the Beechie residence, beard the radio blaring loudly all day. He saw a load of wood delivered, but no one answered the door. Fin- ally, Stevenson got a ladder and looked through a window. He saw Mr. Beechle's body lying on a bed. He called Constable Jack Park, who summoned provincial police from Goderich, Dr. F. W. Gallow, Goderich coroner, attributed death to natural causes and released the body. 'Provincial Constables A.

Mr. Beechie retired from the Hunt Milling firm in May, 1937, after 32 years of service. When she contributed some ma- terials to a clothing drive some months ago, Mrs, James F.

The meeting adopted a resolution proposed by Dr. P. L. Brady and C. P. Sills, which ex- pressed appreciation of the work done by the preliminary committee and called on the Seaforth Council to set up a commission under the relevent statutes to proceed with organization leading to the con- struction of a memorial arena with artificial ice, and a community centre. The meeting, while not as large- ly attended as the meeting held early in March, was representative of the community. Mayor J. E. Keating was chairman, and D. H. Wilson, secretary. Mayor Keating told the meeting of the steps which had been taken by the preliminary committee. He pointed out that in the opinion of. the c'om'mittee the proposal was feasible. Speaking for the committee, W. T. Teall said the construction was estimated to cost $65,000, plus $40,000 for artificial ice. There Bored be a reduction by the use of a different type of artificial ice, but as yet its use was not permitted. Reviewing means of financing the project, Mr. Teall pointed out con- tractors that had been consulted, considered voluntary. labor a big factor. Referring to artificial ice, the speaker told of the experience of Georgetown, where he bad been in- formed artificial Ice was the dif- ference between a profit and a loss. He pointed out that ultimate- ly artificial ice would be a require - meat in. any case, and that a cer- tain amount of .construction would fie required to be done in the main construction to provide for it. "It's going to mean work, but if all turn in, it is not going to be too tough," Mr. Teall said. Reeve Arthur Nicholson, of Tuck- ersmith, recalled that when school areas were first discussed in the township, there was opposition, but now it is considered the best thing that ever happened. He felt the same way about the arena and community centre. While he could not speak offic- ially for the township,he felt the proposal was' sound and most nec- essary. He was sure Tuckersmith citizens would. do their part. "We must look ahead -new gen eratiens are coming up and we must think of them," he said. The Legion was behind, the pro- ject because it considered it a duty to support any proposal that would benefit the community, C. P. Silas told the meeting. The Legion felt living memorials much superior to monuments as a means of perpetu- ating in the minds of the citizens the job done by the veterans, he said. ' "If towns smaller than Seaforth can build arenas and community centres, then surely Seaforth and district, with its athletic tradition, can do the same," Mr. Sills said. Artificial ice is a big factor in putting the project over, Council- lor Ji T. Scott felt. While he could not officially speak for McKillop, he knew many were in favor and he was of the opinion it could be put over. Gordon Richardson raised the question of 'operating costs, andit was 'explained that while a con- tractor had suggested artificial ice was not .economically sound in smaller centres, this opinion was based on continuous operation. and ignored other revenues such as rentals and refreshment booths. Mr. Richardson, a member of the Tuckersmith Council, believed the council would desire to know the opinion of the township citizens before taking action. He Nit, how- ever, the country people generally would be behind the proposal. G. R, Johnston reviewed items of cost entering into operation. He pointed out that the cost of arti- ficial ice included many items that would have to be undertaken in any event. Pointing out that the trend in agricultural circles was towards fewer but larger fairs, R. S. Mc- Kercher said the community with the facilities would get the fair. He believed artificial ice to be ere sential, and felt if the project was um'ertaken it should be done pro- perly. After viewing plane of similar structures in other centres, the meeting considered seating of 1400 essential. Egvisaging a widespread nee by all the oomwunity for the proposed aeooriiimodatioh,. Edmund Daly fore- saw itlbreased operating reVVettue.

Another feature of the observ- ance of Hospital Day will be the showing. of the picture, "Girls in White," at the Regent Theatre on the first three days of next week. The significance of the hospital to the community and its evolu- tion during the years is pointed out in a statement prepared by Miss M. Grinyer, Superintendent of Scott Memorial Hospital: "To the modern hospital worker who takes for granted hospital cleanliness and kindly treatment of the sick. the magniture of Florence Nightingale's service may be in- comprehensible. To properly ap- preciate her work it must be r9 membered that for more than a century previous to her organiza- tion of nursing service, hospitals had resembled the worst type of prisons where those who were so unfortunate as to be ill were at the mercy of attendants, who were both heartless and ignorant, "The famous English nurse be- gan her career by taking training at Kaiserswerth on the Rhine, a hospital and deaconess home estab- lished in 1836. Returning to Eng- land, she put her own ideas of good nursing into effect andspeed- ily acquired a reputation for ef- ficient work, "Florence Nightingale was truly the first hospital administrator, a genius in organization.
