CLUB MEETING North Simcoe Has Annuel Meeting Mrs. J. W. Johnston, of Toron- to, secretary of the Home Depart- ment of the Home and School Federation of Ontario addressed the annual meeting of North Sim- coe Home and School Club held last night. Mrs. Johnston's ad- dress was on child psychology and she passed on some very valuable points in the training of children, which she learned in her training at St, George's School in Toronto, "Answering questions is very im- portant," sald Mrs. Johnsto' The children must be given reasonable answers by their parents for it is from them that they learn the lit- tle things that prepare them for the greater things as they grow older, To encourage the practice of self-control, is another point in child-training that parents very often overlook, A little more time with the kiddies and they will easily grasp the difference be- tween right and wrong. Mrs. Johnston stated that it was her firm conviction that very young children should be sent to nur- sery schools. She believes that the development of the mind be- gins early and the training of it should also begin before the chila is very many years of age. Mrs. B. A. Brown, of this city, took the child of school-age as the subject of her address, which followed that of Mrs, Johnston. "If a child {8s hard to manage at home, he will be the same when he goes into the world," said Mrs. Brown, drawing from it the con- clusion that the child's school life depends on the home training he hag received before entering school. Mrs, Brown stated that sex 'questions should be told dur- ing the 'school age, She agreed that reading of good books should be encouraged and that parents should discuss worldly matters with their children in- stead of keeping them continual- ly in the dark about certain ques- tions that they will be bound to meet in later life. Mrs, W. R, Fisher presided over the first part of the meeting, which consisted of these two ad- dresses and a short musical pro- gramme in which Miss Betty Hen- ley took part, playing a plano so- lo and the Christ Church Chil- dren's Choir under the leadership of Mrs. Morrison rendered several numbers, United States wonders if Great Britain will pay her debt when it comes due.

Yes, sir, he had a queer feeling, Never had he felt quite as he did now. Danger was not a new thing to Jerry. Ever since he had ventured out in the Great World he had known dan- ger almost constantly, When he was a little fellow he had had more than one narrow escape from Hooty the Ow), and all his Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy. to these parts to live it had been necessary to watch out for him. And then at certain seasons there had been hunters with terrible | guns and trappers with still more terrible steel traps to be on guard against, So the feeling of danger was nothing new or strange to Jerry. It was merely that it was differ- ent tonight, Never before had he bad thig feeling of being sur- rounded by enemies. It wasn't that he wasn't safe, He was. So long as he did not go ashore he was wholly safe. At home in the Smiling Pool or when swimming in the Laughing Brook there had #saldom been more than one enemy at a time trying to get him but up here at Paddy's pond there were enemies all around if Paddy was to be believed, and Jerry had a feeling that he was. And it was all on account of Honker the Goose and his flock, whe had arrived late that after- roon and were stopping over in Paddy's pond on thelr way to the Far North. Paddy 'had sald that he had secn Buster Bear over by the dam and that he hadn't a doubt that Yowler the Bobcat, Reddy Fox and Mrs, Reddy and Old Man Coyote were prowling around the pond. Perhaps Puma the Pan- ther was there, and Jerry felt sure that Hooty the (Great Horned Ow], was not far away. "It is those Geese they want: is some comfort," thought Jerry. 'To begin with they avn't know I am up here, These silly Teese told everyone within hear- ing of their arrival, Such a silly thing to do. They deserve to be caught, Yes, gir, they deserve to be caught. They have not only made it dangerous for themselves but for the rest of us, I don't that KING STREET YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE Miss Ruth Cook, convenor of Group A, presided over the meeting of King Street United Church Young People's Society last night.

One, Jerry noticed, had drifted in farther than the oth- ers. It was a young gander, He was hetween Paddy's house and the shofe now and if he didn't wake up pretty soon and swim out he would drift gshore, fuddenly Jerry saw two glow- ing spots of light just beyond that sleeping, drifting young gan- der. He knew what they 'were They were eyes, the fierce eyes of some one waiting for that young sander to drift just a little near- er. Almost without thinking, what he was doing Jerry slid into the water, brought his tail down with a sharp slap and then plunged under with a noise that awakened every goose in the flock. As Jerry came to the sur- face the young gander came hur- riedly swimming out from the shore, He had heard Yowler the Bobcat snarl with rage and dis- oppointment, "You saved my life," said the young gander to Jerry. "I'll never forget it." So Jerry unexpectedly made a friend. (Copyright, 1932, by T. W. Burgess) The next story: rat Is Repaid."

Small, Yain Standard of vice Without Incur- ring Deficits The plans "of the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital for the building of | an extension to the prezent insti- tition, announced some time ago, have been referred for the time being, according to a statement authorized by the directors of the hespital and issued today by Gerdon DD, Conant, president of the board, Increasing use of the hespital for indigent patients, who are carried at a substantial logy to the institution and a de- sire to conserve the resources of «the hospital so that the present standard of service can be main- tzined, are cited as the reasons for abandoninz the building scheme at the present time. In reaching this decision, the direc- tors have studied the entire hos- pital situation, and have taken cognizance of the fact that hos- pitals in Toronto and other parts of the province are incurring sub- stauntia] deficits, and in order to avoid any such situation here, they have decided to wait for riore favorable conditions before branching out into a program of extension, In arriving at this decision Mr. Conant today informed = The Times that the directors of the Oshawa Hospital had obtained the necessary data in relation to the advisability of constructing additional accommodation, and have given it considerable study. In arriping at a. decision, he pointed jut, they have not only examin the Jocal situation and ite requ ements, but have thor- oughly chnvassed the experience of other hospitals throughout the province. _ Hospitals Suffering "It is common knowledge," said Mr. Conant, "that hospitals gener ally are at this time incurring bur- densome and, in some cases, serious deficits, According to press reports seven Toronto hospitals have incur- red deficits aggregating $200,000. The mayor of Toronto has said that the city has no funds for huss pitals, It remains to be 'seen how these deficits are to be met. The experience of the Toronto hospitals is only typical, to a greater or less degree, of what ig happening in most of the hospitals in the Prov- ince, "Nor is the situation any better or even as favourable in civic in= stitutions," he said, "In practically every case where a hospital ig owne ed and operated by the municipals ity, the Board of Governors being appointed by the city, substantial deficits occur and arc reflected di- rectly in and add, several mills to the tax rate, Hospital, the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital, the Royal Victoria at Lon- don, the Belleville Hospital, and many. others come within this. cate- gory.
