Mr. Lay said Barrie had never been called upon to support this institu- tion 'in the form of `paying for pat`- ients. He made an urgent appeal for Ia substantial grant. Alex. Brownlee {and Donald.

Dr. W. A.

He quoted statistics showing` that Port Hope's infant mortality was ` 58 per 1000 and Woodstock 65, as against Barrie s 93 per 1000. The two towns named have had commun- ity nurses for a year.. Dr. Little? wanted to see action that would con-` serve Canada s manhood, rather than the resorting to bringing in~fore'ign blood. He believed the Board of Health deserved more financial assist- ance. Referring to Toronto s exper- ience, the M.0.H. said that in On- tario s capital city 185 children outf of every 1000 had been dying in the first year of life, until the Commun- ity Nurse system had been inaugurat- . ed. That loss had now been cut to 80 of every 1000, and conditions were `being vastly improved.
