Our rates at the hospital, while high compared to those of a few years ago, are nevertheless comparable 'to those of any. hospital in Ontario, and in many cases lower, When we consider the fact that the patients receive around-the-clock ser- vice, which entails three shifts of em- ployees, adequate heating twenty-four hours a day, plus many other facili- ties, it is astounding what has been accomplished. We take our hats off to the Board and congratulate them in all sincerity, Dr, Dymond made especial refer- ence and paid tribute to Mrs, Falcon- er, a little Toronto lady who summer- ed at Caesarea and who worked inde- fatigably for our Hospital Auxillary . until her death in August last. Even in her last days she did not forget us and left the Auxiliary a legacy of $200, with which they are going to buy a "recovery" bed (for operative patients), which will be'a boon to the nursing staff particularly. Following the birthday ceremonies the guests made a tour of the hospital |' and were interested in 'many expen- sive articles of equipment which have been purchased during the past year. We have a new oxygen tent, an up- to-date incubator for premature in- fants, a sterilizing unit for the for- mula room, an automatic bottle-warm- er, and a "walker" for convalescent patients who have difficulty in gett- for the operating room.

The following reasons given for not rehiring Merlin Suggitt as Rd. Super- intendent: I Jack Green as Deputy-Reeve of the Townhip of Cartwight say that one of the first duties of a road Su- perintendent is co-operation with the Council, and he stated he did not care for them or what. they said, -is this trying to work with a Council, when the Superintendent asked for an extra $2000.00 for roads which the Council felt was not necessary, but agreed to pass if he would not over spend and if possible have some left in case of an emergency, but by the 1st of Oct. our road appropriation was almost spent plus some 'credits unknown to the Council, held by the Rd. Supt. This along with other reasons, such as the sale of Township property in- cluding Chloride, fence wire and posts without the approval of the Council and complaints about roads and no work being done, is why the 1957 Council took the stand they did. An- other occasion when the Council was not consulted after the Dist. Engineer along with the Reeve and Council or- dered that no more work be done ex- cept grading of roads, a stretch--of road was ditched and loose loam float- ed over the road which had to be gravelled even though the Township nearly out of money. The District Engineer asked the Rd. Supt. for his resignation with no strings attached which was accepted by the Council. In my opinion when the Township receives Lawyers letters from Tax payers stating they will take what- ever steps they deem necessary a- gainst the Township if certain con- ditions were not corrected, these are not minor complaints, the Rd. Supt. had been instructed well in advance to correct these but nothing had been done. - It was also stated by the Reeve that this new man hired as Rd. Supt. had no experience, when he spent four and a half Years driving all types of Army Vehicles from Tanks to Trucks, since his return he has operated graders, Bulldozers, Backhoes and different The, casket - types of heavy Trucks with a good re- - commendation from his Employers.
