Lansdowne St. E, Peterborough BABY-SITTER WITH COLD The baby-sitter who has a cold should remember that a cold which is a minor ailment to an older person may be a serious illness to an infant. Therefore, she should handle the child as little as possible. She should not kiss the youngster and, before handling his food or his person, she should wash her hands. When coughing or sneezing, a disposable tissue should be held before her nose and mouth. Some authorities advise that anyone who has a cold should wear a mask of several thicknesses of gauze over nose and mouth when lifting or handling a small baby. Each mask should be used only once and then destroyed immediately after use. $730,000 REQUIRED FOR ADDITION TO HOSPITAL Final plans are now being made for the opening early in February of a campaign to raise $730,000 to provide additional buildings and medical equipment at Cobourg District General Hospital. , Because of the rapid increase in the population of the area served by the hospital, there is already a waiting list growing longer as the weeks by. The rated capacity of the hospital is 38 beds. By turning single rooms into double and setting up beds in corridors, 48 beds can be made available, but that is not nearly enough. It is the hope of the directors, through the generosity of the public, to increase the capacity of the hospital to approximately 100 beds, 20 of which will be for chronically ill patients. Many people have the idea that government grants and fees paid by patients provide the biggest share of the money needed for expansion. This is not true. The fees charged to patients are set to recover only the actual expense of operating the hospital. Being a non-profit organization, it must, therefore, depend on the generosity of individuals, organizations and all levels of government for capital funds. Grants from the Province of Ontario amount to $1000 for each new hospital bed provided. This is matched by the Government of Canada. Additional sums are made available for x-ray, laboratory and out-patient facilities. These grants provide, in total, 20 per cent of necessary funds to provide buildings and equipment, leaving 80 per cent to be raised by municipal grants and a general caftV paign such as will get under way in February. The services of the District General Hospital are not confined to the Town of Cobourg, but are available to the district surrounding Cobourg and are regularly used by most families in the townships of Alnwick, Cramahe, Hal-dimand, Hamilton, and Brighton. In addition, many patients from other counties, and even the United States, receive treatment at your hospital when needed. No family is immune from serious sickness or accident. It is then that the benefits of an adequate and well-equipped hospital are appreciated. It is in order to have enough beds and equipment available when required that the planned expansion is so vitally necessary, and the reason for the forthcoming fund raising campaign. GOOD TURNS IN TRAFFIC The Ontario Highway Traffic Act requires that before slowing your vehicle of turning or moving from one traffic lane to another you shall: (1) Make sure that the stop or turn can be made safely. (2) Let other drivers and pedestrians know what you intend to do by giving the proper signal; and (3) Make the turn from the proper road position. A new illustrated leaflet, published by the Motor Vehicles Branch of the Department of Highways, graphically shows proper methods of making right and left hand turns from and into two-way and one-way streets. It Illustrates also proper hand signals for both right and left turns as well as the slow or stop signal. "Good Turns in Traffic" is a crisp presentation of an important element in safe and courteous driving. Copies of the leaflet are available from the Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto. DUNDONALD January 17th, 1955. Service next Sunday at 11 a. hi. S. S. at 10 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. K.

SLOW DOWN AND LIVE The nation-wide campaign against excessive speed in the U.S., receiving active support from each state through its Governor and official bodies is regarded as a very long step forward in that Country's safety activities. Wm. M. Greene, chairman of the National Conference of State Safety Co-ordinators, points out that " 'Slow Down and Live' answers a decades-old prayer by every highway safety man worth his salt in the country, a prayer for co-ordination, co-operation and concentration of effort." Referring to a resolution adopted by the 46th annual meeting of the Governor's Conference, he said: "Most of our driver irresponsibility is associated with the headlong rush -- the thoughtless urge to get there first and fastest. On the public highways, this 'in a hurry* attitude manifests itself in excessive speed, speed too fast for conditions, improper passing, following too closely and failing to yield the right of way . . . "Slow down and live is more than a slogan. It is a new code of traffic conduct, to which we must adhere if we are to combine fine highways and fine vehicles for our enjoyment and our economic advancement." LAKEPORT January 17th, 1955.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, they say. It is certain one of the ingredients in a good health plan. Disease germs may be collected on dirty hands, and from there transferred to the mouth with food. Every adult should make a practice of washing his hands before eating and every child should be trained to do so before he eats meals or even a between-meal snack, and always after visiting tha toilet.
