Editor Editor in distant hospitals and hsM' to sue for reimburseinont if there i-f to be any. The burden is too heivy with- out beinp forced to pay towards the upkeep of the three regula-- ho.spitalf in this county. •SJ'Et lALIZEU PHILANTHROPY HOSPITALS AND HOSPITALS At a convenlkon of the Ontario Hospital Association Hugh Nickic ot Kingston said: "The ho.spital problem of Ontario could be remedied with the closing of 22 small ho.spital.s with- out inconveniencing the patients. A survey of the field revealed 22 hos- pitals admitting two patients or les.s per day could be closed and in no ease would their patients have to travel more than '.i\ miles before re- ceiving hospital care." Of course the nc'vspapers in all town.s possessing small hohpitals arc now up in arms to preserve their in- Ftitutions orf medical practice, and gome of the argument.s u.-icd fo- retaining them are fantastic in the extreme. For instance the IJurhani Chronicle gives voice to this argu- ment: "Not only giving better care to their patients, these smaller hospitals have turned out a more efficient class of nurses, nurses who can go into a home where there is sickness and do something. Heretofore, sickness in the home meant pandemonium, as a graduate nurse from the larger hos- pitals invariably cannot get herself a bucket of water, but must depend upon someone to bring It to her. She canont look after her patient without being waited on hand and foot, and when she leaves, the wom- an of the house can work herseli dizzy cleaning up the mess she leaves." During boom days, when every- thing was going along swimmingly from a financial standpoint, small hospitals sprang up like mushroom; and little, if any, "kick" was made by those whose pockets were touched. Now, with times such as wc are passing through, the pinch makes us look around and discover where wc were unwise in letting the small hos- pital get the better of our judgment. The law covering our hospitals is a tyrannical law. The do.tors, in any fair sized town, can start a hos- pital, and apply for grants which have to be made. All indigent patients are paid for by the municipalitic.: from which they come, and in many instances doctors rush their indigent patients to the hospitals for treat- ment. The hospitals come bnck at the municipalities which have to pay pnd sue for recoveiy, if anything is to be recovered. The hospital i- never placed in the position of a cred- ito.-. All it has to do is render its bill to the county. .\s for the argument that the large ho.spitals do not turn out nurses as efficient as those turned out from the smaller ones, it is foolish and absurd. We have had some exper- ience with nurses, and know tliat the charge made by The Chronicle is as far from the truth as day i.= fro:n j night. Grey County is one locality where the people are suffering from a sur- feit of official hospitals. Durham and Hanover are ten miles apar:. Because the doctors in one town •Hart- cd a hospital the other one had t') have one, of course. Fiftee'i mi!e.>- south of Durham a hospital function.'? at Mount Fore-st. Durham an.l Han- over draw five hundred dollars each from the public purse of this county. Outside of these there are at least three private hospitals whicn do not receive any dole from the public chest. It is time the Hospital Act was re- vised. We would faVor Ih: placing of all hosjiitals on an ind?pcndent footing and allow them to charge adc<iuattly for their service^. The sanitary hospitals arc on a different footing, but even they work a terrible hardship on our citizens. This small village itself has for some years been paying $300 to $400 per annum to maintain indigent patients There is some justification for the belief that the new Lieut-Uovernor )f Ontario is a joker of no small niag- niluilc. Witness the following from his reasons for accepting office: "In these difficult times we go into Gov- .'rniiient House as a duty, as well as an honor. Wc feel that we should render whatever service we are called upon to give and that we should en- deavor to perpetuate an institution which is an csesntial and vital part of our national life." Talk about your ordinary philanthropist. This- might be called specialized philan- thropy. EDITORIAL NOTES Lower rates for insurance is ad- vanced for d''''"'--z '"ho have nevci had a motor accident.

But hundreds of individuals in every community have their own ideas, too. Editors do not wish to monopolize the expression ol opinion in their nev.spapers. The;!- columns are usually open to their readers for the free expression of opinion on timely subjects and for constructive suggestions which might prove of value to the community. There arc many matters which croj: up, an expression of opinion on which ly citizens, would be decidedly help- ful in deciding a policy. The Ad- vance, it hardly needs to bo said, welcomes contributions from its read- eis in the form of letters to the editor. If you hife an idea that you think should be helpful, or views on any matters facing the town or sur- rounding townships, put it on paper and pass it along. We welcome such contributions.

Council adjourned to meet at Mr.x- well on Thurs., December 15 at 10 a.ni Osprey Sunday School Convention A very successful Sunday school convention, comprising all denomina- tions in Osprey township was held in the United church at Singhampton on Wedne-vday, November 2nd, with ses- ':ion8 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Splendid attendance were present at eacn scs- (â- ion. The president, Rev. M. F. Oldham, presided. The opening De- votional exercises of each session ves. •.•ondi;cted by Rev. Peter Tiller, pastor of the church. He gave two good addresses stressing the importance of Sunday school work. The afternoon address was given by Rev. A. G. Mac- Pherson Of Mclntyre, who gave a splendid and instructive discourse on the different phases of Sunday school work. The evening address was given by Rev. A. M. Shannon of Feversham, vice-pres., of the association. He spoke on the work of the Sunday schools. These two addresses were full of valuable points for teachers and added greatly to the Convention's suc- cess. Two quartettes were present and sang appropriate selections at each session. The roll call of Sun- day schools, Departmental Group Dis- cussion under the leaaership of the individual departmental leader, and a Round Table Conference were features of the afternoon session. The ladies of the United, Presbyterian and An- glican churches at Singhampton serv- ed supper. Rev. A. M. Shannon pre- sented the report of the Resolution Committee. The convention was a most decided success and should give fresh zeal to Sunday school work in Osprey township. The 1933 convention will be held in St. Mary's Anglican church in Maxwell. he'll do it anyway." This boy has been dependent on his mother's earn- ings from the time he was four years old, now draws a smal salary, and his first idea is to buy himself a car. There is little likelihood ot his qual- ifying as a hero, according to the definition given above. Instead of spending Icfs than he earns, he bids fair to become one of those pathetic figures, the man who is always behind '.land. Saving money in these days does call for heroism, because it calls for self-denial, because it means saying "no" to one's friends and to one's s-df. If the world is to be restored, there is need for heroism of that sort. FARMER TOO OBLIGING Joe Hibbert, a farm hand, living near Erin, has decided that it does not pay to be too good natured with strangers. While attending a neigh- bor's threshing the hired man appear- ed to become seriously ill. He asked for the loan of Joe's car to go to a doctor. Joe consented and purchas- ed two gallons of gas for the car so it would not stall. When he failed to return in three hours, an alarm was sent out. The police were noti- fied, but to date no trace has been fo-.'.d of either man or car â€" Chesley Enterprise. fflcTavish's Garage Entered By Thieves Robbers broke into McTavish's gar- age in town last night or early this Wednesday morning and about $46 in bills and silver was taken. Only a few coppers were left. Kntrance is supposed tu have taken place throitgb a windnow at the west side of the garage, as a window pane had been broken and a lath used to hold the window tight was also broken on the inside ' the building. The till had been forced in order to take the money There have been several robberies at Dundalkth e past few weeks and it is probably the same person workings in both towns. Speaking Of Heroes One of our big financiers has a de- finition of a hero a little different from that of most of us. He does not describe a soldier, or an ace, or an explorer, or any of the figures that appeal to the popular imagina- tion. This is his idea of a hero, the plain, old-fashioned man who spends less than he produces. For he points out that the restoration of the world after the devastation of he war, will be possible only if there are big sum? of money waiting to be invested. He reminds us that if a hundred million people save twenty cents a day, in a year of three hundred working days the savings would amoutn to six bil- lion dollars. A widow, whose young son just he.gan earning, said not long ago, "He's crazy to buy a car.

TTAWKEN < > The Durham Road extends from Collingwood to Kincardine. We had the idea that Durham and Kincardine were the terminii until reading a few pai;ps of the history of Grey this week, which says in part as follows: •'A road running oast and west through the southern part of the townships was much needed. Such :i road was laid out in 1848. It stretched across the southern parts of the townships of Osprey, Arteme- sia, Glenelg and Bentinck. It was called the Durham Road after the liiincipal place within the county through which it passed. It was in- tended that this road should connect Lake Rimcoe at Barrie with Lake Huron at Kincardine. The portion within Grey County from Durham eastward was surveyed by David Gib- son, and west from Durham by Mr Brough. Just east of Priccville the road, instead of going on its old course, turns to the north-east tow- ard* Flesherton, theji;e through Max- well to Singhampton at the county line. From Singhampton it takes n northerly course through Duntroon to Collingwood on Georgian Bay. Alrtng the Du'rhnm Road in Grey County, as along other roads, free â- grants of land were given to actual settleri. â€" Chesl»y Enterprise.
