Bo)^ Leaves Bbspital Ui|dciv His Own Pii^vei' After Four Loiii Ycr/s "V Lad's Parents Hon*! IPay Cent For Expert Care and TreUtiuent Eigbt-y«ar-old Juii has gone back to th« north country after four year* In the HfTipita) for Sick Children, Toronto. He walked out. carrying liis own handbug. . Four years earlier, whgii he waa hardly more than a baby, his parents made the' long journey down to To- ronto, bringing Jim with them. They appeared in the out-patients' clinic at the Hospital for Sick Children and told the doctor that Jim had a sore back. As they do with thousands oi bther patients every year, the doctors*«t the clinic gave ihe little boy a thor- ough examination. Some ol the ablest physicians and surgeons in Toronto were there. They took X- raya. made blood tests and •â- sec- tions," and found that Jim had a tubercular spine. They took him upstairs an,d P^ hirti to bed, while his father and mother stayed around for a few days and then went back up ncrth. Privately, the doctors thought that Jim had scarcely a char.c » to get bet- ter. But they worked over him un- ceasingly, turned loose all the magic of modern medicine â€" for four long years, while the little boy ticked off his birthdays. Well, it worked. Jini did get bet- ter, and he walked out of the hos- pital with a strong back set on two sturdy legs. He's up home again, in the bush country of Northern On- tario. PARENTS DIDN'T PAY CENT And because to-day's hospitals are 1 tanized in an especially marvellous wy, Jim's parents didn't pay, a single cent for the four years of ex- pert care and treatment. His muni- cipality paid the Hospital for Sick Children th« Public Ward rate of $1.75 a day for every day the sick youngster was laid up and the On- tario Government paid the statutory rate of 60e. But it cost the hospital at least $1.00 a day more than the 1^2.35. The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren invested $1,400.00 of its o%vn money in Jim's recovery. They do things like that every day in the week. The doctors who looked after Jim for four years donated their services, as they are continually doing for helpless young- sters who come to them with bad tonsils, poor eyes, weak chests,- hereditary diseases and a hundred other ailments. Broken bones come in for setting. Babies who aren't feeding properly, and older children whose teeth haven't been attended to since they were born, are looked after. The biggest men on the hospital's staff carry on their daily clinic in the morning, diagnose troubles, and give the delicate operations and care to those who are already in hospital. Last year, for instance, the highly skilled physicians and surgeons on the 5taff of the Hospital for Sick Children Rave free of charge more than 40,000 hours of their valuable ti' le. Put a value on itâ€" say $5.00 an hour, which is too little- -and you hr.ve more than $200,000 worth of medical services given away in a single hospital. MOST IN PUBLIC WARDS Joseph Bower, Superintendent of the Hospital, listened alertly to the lUCitJon, "Mow about it, now; don't Ihe doctors and hospftal inake some of this b.nck from'th* private patients v.-hT can afford to pay?" I • "Would i^ be 'ftews." h» ackcd. . Hbat out of the 434 beds in the ilos- pitui for Sick Children. 414 are in public wards? -We had 9.000 patients last year, and tasx thah five per cent, of thpcp were priv.ite patients, t ' VWe are a public hospital, and like every public hospital, we are re- quirel by law to accept any patient who comes to our doors in need of treatment. -We live them everything they .need,^^ and it's not unusual for the hospital to furnish from $300 to $400 worth of serum to a single pa- tient ' sufferini; from pneumonia. , Whatever the cost tous, we get only , our regular allowance of S2.35 a day. i per patient.'' I Some serums are given free to.the I hospitals by the Provincial Depart- ment of Health; the others, not on • the free list, must be paid for. I It's pretty obvious, theii, that the j hospital has to -make up its operat- I ing loss some other way. "This is the reason for the regular annual appCal to hiamane and chari- table citizens for donations. The out-patients' clinic was crowd- ed by 9:30 this morning. Waiting room and corridor* ware fiJJed with j parents and children from infants to I adolescents. Sever?! hundred come here every day, many from outside Toronto. • • j Of all the hundreds of fathers an^ mothers who brought in their ailing I youngsters a few. who could, paid : 50 cents. There otight be bills a- ; little higher for X-ray and other I special work, but the majority paid less and many nothing at all. Look closely into the heart of the Hospital for Sick Children, and j youTl find not only kindness and superb skill but an organization that is almost unique in the world. It is j a children's hospital for everyone in I Ontario, drawing its patients from J every municipality even to the farth- jpst corners of the province. , lOO.OOO VISITS A YEAR ,, ' 'There is no statutory provision ' for establishing an out-patients' de- partment in any hospital," said Mr. Bower. "But municipalities through- out the province have come to real- ize the importance of our out-pa- tients departmeht, since a very large â-  proportion of the patients treated there would otherwise be occupying beds in the hospital. And" that would result in a much increased financial load for the municipalities." So there is one reason for the size of the great daily clinic, which hiinta out the ills of thousands of young-^ sters and results in upwards of 100,000 visits a year. The Hospital for Sick Children does not share in the funds collected by the 'Toronto Federation for Com- munity Service because patients are admitted from all over Ontario. Over $83,000.00 Is needed this year to meet the unavoidable deficit. E5ven small gifts are not only wel- comed and appreciated but are the- Hospital's assurance from the people of Ontario that they should continue the great work of serving sick and crippled children without regard as to race, creed or financial circum- stance.

You know, girls don't like fellows who get sleepy. The story that follows might even be told about you if you do. A charming Creemore young lady had a boy friend who got aleepy on her every time he called and despite her charms the conversation would lag and she either had to send him home or let him have a good sleep. She decided that a good long sle^p would help her suitor better than 6«r company so on a following Sunday she asked him for supper. A little sleeping tablet was put in his eoffea. An hotrr later he curled up -n the chesterfield and was lost in dreams. The young lady covered him gently and weni to bed. Several hours later he awoke and realised he had slept long and soundly so he stole away h^omc, t)))t he never knew about that tablet.
