Tflicehairmnan. spcaking for his col- leagues and former members of the Board, gives trilbute 1 thie doctors, thie hospital matron and business people generally who devotel their efforts to present a clear case to the electorate. Their confidence in the outcome was littie in doubt. But the Board is fully aware that a -great task stilI reniains ahead; a task wýhich re- quires continued public support and enthusi- asm. The Mayor and Counceil hook a stand in the matter whiIlî will redound to Ilîcir credit for veîirs to corne. They or their siuc- cessors may still be counted on to lcnd whiat- ever weight they eau to eoi-iplctc. the pro- ject. About hwo-thirds of the~ total cost of the newi building, is now- assured. TI'le bal- ance is yeh to be raised but it should nol le viewed as a really formidable hask. But it ivili require work, thought and a full inca- sure of stîeking to il. Menus of raising funds throîîgh member- stips in the Hospital Association w~ill be limihcd only in the degree to w-luth cuthusi- asm will be applied. Funds legitimately ex- peched from outside municipalities eau be acquired only hhrough appeal and negotia- tion rcasonably prcscnted.

Iu Ontario there is widespread dis- content withithe liquor-selling system there. In British Colum- bia there is a veliemenh demand for a change in the liquor-selling laws.t Iu B.C. the advocates o! change want wliah lley have lu Ontario. Ail over Canada, people lalk about duplicating the British public bouse systein here. Il seems as if wliat ...................lhey have some- place else seems :::'best.

Theme is lig outrage- o usly wrong ./ when there are a boul lwice as many liquor per- mils issuect as there are naines on the provincial1 vohers' lîsI. But my point is that no change in thie syslem is goîng ho end thele cianior for more change. If wet duplicaled t he British public bouse syslem ail across Canada, this country would see an orgy o! drunkenness sucli as we have1 neyer witnessed since before the( firsl world wam. The plain factsi are tIaI 100 many Canadiansi drink 10 gel drunk.1 Fewer people will gel drunk ifi hhey can gel something 10 eatE witli their drinks. Hence every-E body wlio favors less and not more drunkenness siould support saler o! food witli drinks-rallier Ihan r mere guzzling alone.f I have greal respect for Bishop a Sexton, who lias appoinled him- self crusader 10 change tlie liquor- sale laws. Mucli of wiat le says sis rigît. If people are goîng ho drink, il is conmmon sense hhah lhey should drink like gentlemen and nol like sots. 1 But surely His Lordship made a grave error in fact wien lie de- scribed Adoîpli Hitler as Ihis gen- eration's most famous teelotaler. Surely Iliat distinction belongs- not 10 the man wio lost the wam- but 10 t1e man who did s0 much 10 win il: Field Marsial S i r Bernard Montgomery. Monty stuck ho lis teelota] principles even a! 1er victory. But Hitler did not. 'flere is an over- whelming amounl df evidence 10 prove thal Hitler became a heavy drinker ah about the hume o! Stalingrad. He continued 10 drink heiivily, fmom lime 10 lime, tli final defeal came. Hitler Did Not Lose The War because lie took ho drink. He 100k 10 drink because lie knew lie was losing the war. Many o! the Soviet generals are lieavy drink- ers o! vodka. Most Anglo-Saxon service people like the odd snomt. But I arn positive Ilial neyer be- fore in history were Iliere 50 many good soldiers wlio neyer take a drink o! any kind o! alcoliol. Momeover, tliey are not ridiculed for il in the services tliemselves- but are, on the conlrary, respected and encouraged. Not long ago I went 10 a party in Monîreal where a world-!am- ous avialor was also a guest. He lad flown Prime Ministers, Presi- dents and polenlates on some o! the historic fligits thal helped win this war. I noticed tint alîhougli everybody else was dminking, lie refused ail aicoliol. Everybody respected him for it-and there was not a single person in lIaI room who wouid not have feIt safer in that man's plane there- afler because o! lis teetotalisin. We could do willi a lot more mnen like Montgomery - who do riol tmy ho compel ollier people 10 forego drink, but wlio do encour- age them, 10 do so by exaniple.

Theyl are Provided For There is something tragic about a family left un- provided for. No man wants his wife and children to suifer in that way --and conseqruently men make it one of their first cares to provide for their dependents by means of Life Insurance. Men usually start with a modest policy, adding others as their earning powers grow. When the insurance is no longer required for pro- tection to others it can be used as a pension for the insured.
