Instead of being permitted to find their own fun on the streets the children of this section of the city gathered at the school and enjoyed movies and games and did full jus- tice to refreshments provided by the members of the Home and School Association. One of the features of the evening was the fancy costume judging which brought forward a large number of very good costumes and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the younger generation has marked originality when left to their own resources. But what was more important was that there was no rowdyism in the district during the evening. No store win- dows were defaced with soap and there was no scribbling on the windows or doors of the school itself. It was also noted all the pupils were in their places when the nine o'clock bell sounded on Friday morning. When such success attended this first Hallowe'en party there is no reason why the practice should not spread to other schools in the city next year. It means the expendi- ture of time and effort on the part of the teachers and par- ents but it certainly paid dividends on this occasion, and there is no reason why a similar experience should not be encoun- tered in the other schools. Hospital Bed Shortage If further proof is necessary that present-day hospi- talization demands are still in excess of the available accommodation it is to be found in a statement made only a few days ago by Dr. Harvey Agnew, of the Ontario Hospital Council, to the effect that in Canada today there is a short- age of 4,000 beds. Dr. Agnew was addressing the Ontario Hospital Association, and pointed out that across Canada today there are 51,913 beds in 592 active hospitals, adding that according to estimates made by his office, the need is for 56.000. Furthermore, there is a shortage of 1,200 bassi- nettes, and it is estimated that within ten years another thousand will be required. Dr. Agnew said further that the need exists for another 1,800 Ysolation beds. While Oshawa is indeed fortunate in having a splen- didly-equipped 200-bed hospital it is apparent that the time is not far distant when further enlargement will be required. The new Sykes Memorial Wing, built and furnished a few years ago and entirely financed by a legacy and generous gifts, has barely provided enough additional accommodation to keep pace with the demand and the Board of Directors will need to give serious thought very soon to some plan for providing still greater accommodation that the institution may not fail in its record of service to the public of this community and district. When the Board has plans pre- pared to meet the growing need we feel sure that a gratful | .and generous public will again make it possible to carry out such plans and permit the hospital to continue its nob on a debt-free basis. 8 noble work Price Policy Inconsistent Donald Gordon's decision to ste back in relations picture and bombard the Sublic ii De puis must-nots in an attempt to hold the inflation line in Canada will, however well his actions are intended, be greeted with a hollow laugh in many circles. Admittedly we must hold that thin line which is almost strained to the breakingfpoint of is there is no doubt in anyone's mind. e point is this: The government has, in mediated or aided in the mediation of Tas! mothe: the nation. In nearly every case wage increases averaging about 10 per cent, and more have been granted. Further, the government has seen fit to grant price increases and other concessions to interests capable of exerting sufficient pressure in the right places by one means or another.
