Dymond, M.D.,, M.L.A,; Minister of Health in Ontario, per- formed his first official act as Health Minister when he" officiated 'at the opening of the Uxbridge Hospital. He A dream of 11 years duration became a reality Monday afternoon when the Cottage Hospital, Uxbridge, was of- ficially opened by Hon. Matthew B. Dymond, Ontario' Minister of Health. Dr. Dymond declared the hospital open after cutting a ribbon with a golden scalpel. It was his first official fun- ction since his recent appointment as minister of health. Addressing. the assembly of guests and residents of the area, Dr. Dymond said, "I little dreamed three years ago when I first came in contact with the problem of building this hospital that I would be delegated by the prime minister, Hon. 'Leslie Frost, as the minister of health to officially open this beautiful building. al ee ( 4 ge "Things happeén very fast and some- tives it is difficult to keep up with the changes,' he mused. / A few week's ago you held an 'Open House' here to give people an oppor- tunity to see the building with the pro- mise that if the funds to equip the building were raised you would open the institution early in January. "You have fulfilled that promise and the dream you all have cherished over the past 11 years has become a reality inspite of frustations and disappoint- i ments." : "It was because of those problems that I came into the picture and asked the government if it could do some- wl . Dyniond Op ens New thing to speed up the project. It is cut the cord with a golden scalpel. On-the left of Dr. Dymond is the Executive * Vice-President of the Ux- bridge Hospital Board, Mr. Fred Tay- lor. } » =™ typical of life that the problems and difficulties which 'are a' challenge, make men and women rise to greater heights." Dr: Dymond referred to the hospital plan which came into effect on Jan. 1 as the. greatest experiment in human welfare ever seen in Canada and this hospital is the first to be opened since that date. The 29- bed hospital completed' at a cost of $415,000, will serve the town of Uxbridge and the townships of Ux- bridge, Scott, Reach and Brock in On- tario County. The campaign for the "hospital ground to a stop two years ago when the hospital board failed to raise the funds needed to complete the building. | A lean was placed against the building by the building contractor, L. C. Scott Construction Co. Ltd. Negotiations with Mr. Scott and a renewed campaign for funds initiated by Fred Taylor who joined the hospital board in 1957, led to successful com- pletion of the fund campaign and a - | settlement with the contractor. Robert J. Harris, chairman of the board of directors in his introductory remarks paid tribute to the many peo- ple who had spent so much time to make the hospital a fact. He said "I merely serve as the mouthpiece of a great company of people who have] worked hard and long to make the! hospital a reality." Church of Ascension W.A.
