Hollinger Greenshirts are once again [the co-leaders of the Mines League, :thanks to shifty Val Lucciantonio.‘ The rookie broke loose and parked three all-important goals past Free- man in the South End net. This is the second time in as many games that Val cut himself a large share of the} glory. Last Wednesday night he scored 2 markers to lead the Hollyites to vic- tory over the Papertowners. Sharing‘ .the spotlight with Lucciantonio were the veteran Wink Wilson and reliable Johnny K:-vich, each scoring one and misting in two others. Kovich's 3 point total moved him into a. first place tie in the scoring derby with Or- lando. Lister and Theriault. The latter picked up a pair 0! assists last, night to jump his point total to 12 too. The other Holly tally came from Rudy Cyr on ‘a screen shot which Freeman didn’t see. The two South End goals came from the sticks of Alex Kosick and Jack Ladds. Ladd’s counter was scored on a penalty shot after he had been tripped on a breakaway by Lucciantonio. Twelve penalties were handed out by referees Sparky Vail and Ncrmie Woon. in a gum that threatened at many stages to break out into a real "Dunkirk! Worst offender was Dom.

If Fred Astaire were cast as father and Judy Garland as Mother and they danced up and down the carpeted stair and had Frank Sin- atra as the minister, it would have been a sell-out. Yes siree. bub! ~ Art? The Canadian Art Magazine says, “What really gave spice to the 1948 Ontario Society of Artists’ Exhibit was something entirely new. a special sec- tion called "The Painter's Art in Layman’s Language." This was a bright idea well thought out and imaginatively executed, an attempt to demonstrate graphically by twenty panels (all by well known painters). and by explan- atory text. the various methods an artist can use and how he is likely to ap- roach his subject. One group of panels dealt with media. oil right throughto tempera: another with style, from naturalism to abstraction; the third wrth technical considerations--space, textures. mood, balance and so fourth. In other words laymen who care, can see pain-tings through the eye of the artist; an admirable device well calculated to heighten both perception and ap- preciation.” .. Another circulating exhibit available from the Toronto Art Gallery is the exhibit of Contempory Canadian water colors, which should be interesting to the art people of Timmins, as Henri Masson. is one of the artists represented. Carl Schaefer. Edna Tacon, Jack Shadbold, and David Milne are some 0; the others who have watercolors in this exhibit. ‘ - ._ -_-_ . . u by any money on the dine though read over the eight planks on which Mr. Stewat wiil stand. ll) Marked reduction in taxes.

It was an informal poll and it was illuminating. I see in the move to get Pearson into {the cabinet 21 very fine chess move.

We feel that we are serving a purpose by putting the pressure on the other parties.” When someone becomes mémny ill their relatives or someone must swear out a warrant for their detention. They are lodged in the padded cell of vthe local jail and come before a magi- strate after what is often a. week or more of dark, stuffy, uncomfortable surroundings. The “prisoner” is then sent to Haileybury where he is lodged in the district jail to await a bed in First. he said. there are the volun- tary patients. These patients come voluntarily to a doctor when they feel that something is wrong-with their mental equillibrium and they feel that they need care. The doctor then makes out an application for ad- mission to‘ a mental hospital and he and the patient sit back to wait until there is an opening in New Toronto Hospital or some other place. At pre- sent and for many years to come the mental hospitals are packed. They do the best they can, but often a patient must wait for sometimes weeks before he can get a bed in a hospital. This wait ;has great bearing on the men- tally ill person. The curable types, said the doctor, often can be' treated and cured if they are cared for scon enough. The long waits between the time that they have volunteered and the time when they go south to the hos- pital are deleterious to mental health. The second method of entering a hospital he said, is by certifcation by two medical practitioners. And after this is done there is generally a long wait until the patient is admitted to proper care. The third method and most common in this area, said the doctor, is the wanant. ~- ’ WNW Timmins - Daily Quoti for November A medical ,doctor who has some psychriatlc training gave us this in- formation concerning the three dif- ferent ways a mental patient may enter an Ontario Hospital from Tim- mins.

All the doctors interviewed felt that “something should :be done." Some of them suggested ways and means. The one with psychriatic training sug- gested that the town consider build- ing a small psy’cln'iattic wing on St. Mary’s General Hospital. The psychriatrist from Toronto. only on a visit but interested in all things pertaining to his profession, suggested that the Department of Health of On- tario be approached about the matter. He said that other towns had installed psychriatic wards in their hospitals and the province had arranged to give a grant to the hospital for its main- tanance and for at least a part time psychriatrist. it. The Chief of Police {showed us the padded cell in which the m e n t a 1 patients are kept.
