AJAX & DISTRICT NEWS John Mills; Representative -- Phone Ajox 426 'Hospital Badly Needed Generous Help Urged » AJAX -- (Times-Gazette Staffwill be provided in 34 beds and Reporiet) The subject of py Bi present *-The question has been Tr y "Why this sudden need." In reality # is not something that has hap- ] suddenly, rather some- ' that ue +e of it. 8 ' Hie make it possible more people to. "treatment in hospital who hi "would have been treated at home. Years ago went to hos- ae ] s revel e go " cured. Advanced Lowe ol, science "has increased man's life expec- tancy tremendously. Soon another problem will w larger and de- #mand solution. What to do with Sour elderly citizens?" Whom in- # dustry retire at 65, with probably £ another 10 years of active life wahead. Thinking of the local hospital » shortage of accommodation, this is primarily caused by #the rapid growth of the population *of the city of Oshawa and Ontario wgounty, particularly along the lake front. = The Oshawa General Hospital is "crowded to capacity. Yet the de- ,,. mand for beds is greater than ev- eT. «+ The construction of the Port Perry Hospital has provided some relief from that area. When the Alex and Pickering General Hos- +. pital comes into service early in the New Year, accommodation grown up rather before anyone was really Another reason is that insurance schemes, group benefits and the for so many advantage of rto 12 cubicles. This hospital will still further relieve the situation. Yet the de- mand will go on and it is not un- reasonable predict that the un- precedented growth of this par- ticular area which embraces both Ajax and Pickering Township will cause to be built an addition to the yet uncompleted hospital. It should be borne in mind that provision has been made for such an eventuality and the present lans have been drawn with this fea in mind. The heating units and services are such that such an addition can be added at a rea- sonable cost. The present campaign for funds is to pay for what is now under construction. The campaign is go- ing very well, but help from every- one is uired to put the cam- paign over the top. It should be impressed on everyone's mind these simple facts can and do af- fect everyone sooner or later. When a hospital is needed it is needed in" a hurry. When illness strikes, a hospital is often neces- sary if life is to be saved. When a hospital is needed, the patient cannot wait until a bed is avail- able. One must be ready and wait- ing for you. A life may be at stake and it must be saved. By donating to the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital build- ing fund, citizens will helping to provide the badly needed hos- pital accommodation in this dis- trict. Contributions, however large or small will help swell the total and reach the target of $60,000 which has been set as a minimum. :19,000 Canadians Out In Strikes By THE CANADIAN PRESS Almost 19,000 Canadians are out .of work across Canada in strikes « for higher wages. Ten thousand of them are lumber workers and 7,000 are gold miners. Strikes of lumbermen in British Columbia and gold miners in north- ern Ontario and Quebec which "have dragged on for months shows no Signs of settlement.

Another 500 employees of a tin can company at Toronto and 250 workers of a sim- ilar company at Vancouver walked | J * out this week in sympathy with a strike called in the United States.
