The secretary of the Board of Health asking for a meeting. Representing the Board will be Trustees, George Munns and Fred Ing. This committee was given powert o say that the Board favors the public health nurse idea if in the opinion of the Board of Health this step should be taken. The Public School Board, would, in such event, not budget next year for nursing services in the schools. It is presumed that the Separate School Board would follow suit, as the VON also services St. Bernord's - WHITBY DAY BY DAY Accounts of social events and news items of local interest and names of visitors are ap- preciated.

Likewies the pilgrim fathers, realizing the need for + time of thanksgiving, had set aside a special time for giving thanks.

A num- | ber of the Counties have embarked upon an extensive programme of assisting Public Hospitals by mak- ing substantial captial grants to- wards their construction. Also, ", some Counties have made grants towards maintenance as well as capital construction. We believe that it is the responsibility of the County to provide, adequate hospi- tal facilites for its residents. Fur- thermore, we realize 'that the hos- pital facilities serving the County of Ontario are inadequate and that out residents are finding it ex- tremely difficult to obtain immed- 'late accommodation in a Public Hospital. We can assist the hospital boards in preparing new accommo- dation by making financial con- tributions towards capital construc- tion. 5 1. We recommend that the County of Ontario make grants towards the construction of all Public Hos- pitals within the County and to any Public Hospital established in Orillia, Lindsay, and Oshawa, that will serve the residents of the County of Ontario. 2. We recommend that a grant of $500.00 per hed be made to the Aiax and PickeMng General Hos- pital. ; 4.

At the present time, the pupils of Hillcrest school are playing on a comparatively small piece of hard ground, "if one of our smaller children fell injury would result," one trustee observed. The dalay at the park has been disappointing for the supervising principal of schools. Earl Fairman, who had hoped to have all the schools under his jurisdiction using it after the school opened for inter-school sports, also for rugby, if this game was decided upon.

He expressed great personal disappointment that the situation is as it is today.
