Editorial Comment An Essential Work A banquet at the Ontario Hospital the other evening was given to show appreciation to a group of ladies from- Whitby and district who, for the past fifteen years, have taken out- patients into their homes. For public information, the hospi- tal superintendent made the point that primary reason for placing the out-patients is to enable them to bridge the gap beween hospital and home, thus lessening chances of a re- turn visit to the hospital. He said that through the war, these hostesses had continued to take care of patients at a time when they might have reaped financial benefit from war work. It must be a source of great satisfaction to these ladies | to know that their efforts toward rehabilitation of patients have been so successful and have been publicly recognized.
