But more than that can be said. Las® year there iwere seventeen â€" children from â€" Timmins â€" receiving help and treatment at the Hospital for Sick , Children. Many of the cases were| what might be tâ€"rmed "life and death" cases. If it had not been for the Hospital for Sick Children â€" and the â€" skilled â€" surgeons, doctors and nurses there, these seventeen child~â€". ren â€"would have gone through life crippled or otherwise handicapped, or. life itself might have been ended for them â€" prematurely, And this service to Timmins and district did not start last yvear.

There have been years when more than seventeen children have benefitted from this unique hospital. While the direct vaiue of treatment at the Hospital for Sick Children is the more apparent, the indirsct value to â€" Children â€"here and â€" everywhere through the work of this Hospital can not be overâ€"estimated.

Indeed, alâ€" ready there has been over $5,000,000 ssibscribed. The motto of the Hospital for Sick Children is "Where No Child Knocks in Vain." The Hospital hss lived up to that motto for sevonty vears, and that means that hundreds of â€" municipalities, thoussinds upon thousmnds of individuais, owe a debt of gratitude for children given life.
