~and to car safety features. ~ Support New Hospital Project Although the attendance was small at the annual meeting of Port Perry Community Memorial Hospital, the per- sons present. showed a sincere interest in the future of the local hospital. The desire and will to have a new. hospital built in Port Perry, is in evi- °° dence among all groups and individuals, who work so devotedly for the project. It takes a mere glance at the sta- tistics presented at the a meeting, to realize that a new hospital in Port Perry is needed. And the very fact cor- ridors have to be used. for bed patients, and "the doctors have to dodge their way around the beds", is another reason. that a new hospital is needed. The Ontario Hospital Services Com- mission two years ago "condemned" the hospital as far as making reno- vations or additions to the old building, 'and as years go by the buildings are bound to deteriorate further. Many persons in Port Perry and the surrounding communities are working devotedly for this vital project, but many more should take an active and interested part. No one knows when the need and care of a good hospital, and its staff may be needed. If can happen to anyone, and it can happen suddenly. Car. - Check Campaign The annual campaign to emphasize the importance of vehicle maintenance __ will again be observed across Canada this year through April and May. Spon- sored by the Vehicle Safety Committee of the Canadian Highway Safety Coun- cil, the campaign will stress the respon- = sibility of the car owner to maintain his car in safe operating condition, In introducing the campafgiy, Keith H.

This is another reason for im- proved hospital facilities. Unfortunately, there are still a num- ber of negative thinking people who merely scoff at the idea of a new hos- pital. However, if those people ever should be in need of the services of a hospital, they would also be taken in, and cared for with the same - devotion as anyone else. Forever On The Spot We 'in the newspaper business live with a creed, comparable to none-- this is the opinion of the Sturgis (Mi- chigan) Journal. "Because what we have to say we put in writing," points out the Journal. The messages we portray here are with us for all time. The very thoughts printed may be held in hand for exam- ination and re-exmination. The state- ments may be checked in detail today, tomorrow, next week or forever if one desires. "On the other hand," continues the Journal, "the spoken word is usually a context lost for all time." - The radio transmission, the excerpt . on TV -- obviously these types of mes- sages do not lend themselves readily to intense scrutiny or thoughtful study. They are in the periphery of living. A newspaper is a community's inter- pretive sociologist -- it is a chronicler of day to day events. It sorts out cause and effect in the community. without proper, regular maintenance" It is with life, continuing life, in $8.00 to $15.00. which the elements of the time and place are indelibly portrayed. : --The Cobourg Sentinel-Star It's gone forever --its 50 YEARS AGO Wed., March 28th, 1917 Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Clark received word that their youngest son, Pte Harold Clark had been killed in ac- tion in France, Harold was --a-general-favourite-on-Scu--- gog Island.

Twenty years from now. A weak central government, with everybody from the housewife to the U.S. government down on it. . A tough, ruthless Uniforce, popularly known as the Canadian Cobras, 100,000 strong. And ~ jut-jawed Joe Garibaldi, former union leader, - as Defence Minister. : The Honorable Joe vaulted into the House of Commons in a rather unusual fashion. One - of his opponents withdrew from the campaign, on health grounds, and set out for a. world tour. The other was run down bya truck, just' after addressing a meeting in which he had attacked the Honorable Joe. Both inci dents occurred three days before the election, Joe won. He moved into Ottawa with several beetle: browed cohorts. A modest flat? Not on your life. He took over an entire floor of the Chateau Laurier. There he lived quietly, with nothing to distinguish him from the average MP except the constant flow of champagne, call girls, and guests. He wag lavish with the press, and they liked it. He was always good for a story, because he had guts, color, and good whisky, an un. usual combination in a member of the House. But the majority of his guests were sleek: headed men who grow fat and sleep o'nights, Industrialists with a new gimmick, armament. Pratl For makers with a new toy, politicians with a new angle, and all the other flies who gather "around honey. The Honorable Joe was the natural choice for Defence Minister. Slack-jawed Lester Gordon, Prime Minister, last of Canada's Rhodes scholars, felt in a vague sort of way that the cabinet needed new blood. Within two years he had quadrupled the de fence department's slice of the national pie. That made it 85 per cent. of the taxes, but nobody kicked, because, even though there "hadn't been a new post office, bridge or break- water built in several years, everybody was . proud of the Cobras, the world's finest fight ing force. And only a few oldfashioned members of the press thought it odd that the Cobras paid ten per cent. of their salaries, voluntarily, into the Old Soldiers Benevolent Fund. Chairman of the Fund, Joseph J. Garibaldi. By 1987, of course, there were precious few old soldiers left, but they were well treated by the Fund. Two glasses of beer a day, free smokes, roll your-own, and a sexy movie every Saturday night, whether you wanted it or not. Joe played it cool. He invited a couple of waiters from the Nanking restaurant up for a weekend hash, Everybody thought he was flirting with the Chinese. The U.S. State Department called an emer gency session. The C.LA, infiltrated Ottawa, in the guise of civil servants. of course, no- body recognized them. Each thought they were other civil servants spying on him. Next thing he did was throw up a string of fortresses at Vancouver, Windsor, Brockville and St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. He justified the expense by pointing out, at a secret meeting of the caucus, that the forts were made of paper, thus giving a boost to our pulp and paper industry. But the results were drastic. The Americans pulled eight divisions out of Germany and sprinkled them along the 49th parallel, about eight men to the mile. They sent an aircraft carrier up the St. Lawrence Seaway. It got stuck sideways, but the resi- dents of Prescott, Ontario, lost their cool for a few days, with those 10-inchers trained on them. The entire U.S. Air Force was yanked out of South Africa, from which they had been napalming the Congolese. The pilots were de- lighted to be back in spots like Oswego, N.Y., where a beer was 35 cents instead of a buck, and besides, they wanted a whack at those Canadian Cobras, who were getting more space in Life magazine than they were. Alas, once again we 'have run out of space, and you must wait until next week's issue to learn how Canada was taken over by a dictator in the only bloodless revolution in history. Well, practically bloodless. --Toronto Telegram News Service - | * eA ie Mn ea be a -- EC AES Fron we, -- w . oo Bn 1} PCIE J TR I Te Spay
