No exceptions are ever made There are no barriers of race or creed, Children of parents from every walk of life find sanctuary Those who can pay, do so gladly Those who cannot are never turned away.

The other 95% are the public ward cases who occupy 414 of the 432 beds in the Hospital at all times The cost of providing hospita! care for each public ward patient is about $1.50 per day more than the combin- ed income from the patient (or the patient's municipality) plus the government grant. As a result of this, each year the Hospital faces a deficit amounting to many thou- sands of dollars. This year this de- ficit is greater than ever before. mainly due to conditions created by the war. SYMPATHETIC PUBLIC LENDS A HAND | Were it not for the generosity of sympathetic and understanding peo- ple, business organizations, societies. clubs, ete., the scope and work of the Hospital could not be maintained on its present scale. Each year about this time a province-wide appeal is made for financial help to meet the annual deficit. 5 This year over $125,000 must be raised. Because of the fact that patients are admitted from every part of the province. the Hospital does not share in Toronto's United Welfare Fund. Therefore, it makes its own appeal. It does so. confident in the knowledge that a generous and understanding people will come to the aid of little children who de- pend on them for a chance for health--a chance to take their place [ia the years to come as members of a prosperous and industrious society. No canvassers are employed by the Hospital. so send vour sift direct to the Appeal Secreizry. The Hospital for Sick Children, 67 College Street, Toronto 2. 1944.

In the case of the form- er, Robert Piche of Kirkland Lake bought the fraction, paying the taxes, interest and costs of $16.14, while he also assumes responsibility for the as- surance fee due to the Ontario govern- mént. The second deal was made with W. L. Forrest, whose address is given as Goderich, and who secured the claim under the lake on payment of outstand- ing obligationss to the municipality of $80.15. This water lot had been listed in the name of Mrs. T. A. Thornton of Chi- cayzo, and the Mud Lake four acres was stated to be owned by the Samuel ourke estate. There were two other properties listed as the property of Mrs. O'Rourke, who lives at Bos- ton Creek, and who, as Mrs. Crawford, was formerly a resident of West Co- balt.
