There it still stands, more a fireâ€"trap and a monument to our calloused indifference than ever. The Minister of Pensions and Naâ€" tional Health, Ian Mackenzie, has admittedly added to Canada‘s hosâ€" pital accommodation for veteransâ€" by crowding together more lLeds. and making three men lie where Only one bed was before. So crowded is Christie Street Hospital today, that there is not enough room between the beds to put up a screen to hide the dying agonies of a soldier and the sorrow of his wife from the other occuâ€" pants of the war. oo | _ And if we are Canadians, if we ’value the sacrifice that these men have made of their bodies for us, w« shall no longer tolerate the inâ€" ‘difference and the utter callousness f the Minister of Pensions and Naâ€" tional Health. |89 Glen Avenue Ottawa, Canada. The simple reason behind all this is that we Canadian citizens simply have not gotten angry enough. Surely, we are not indifferent to the welfare of those who have givâ€" en their all in order that we may liveâ€"we just didn‘t know that such cunditions existed. There is more to winning this war than the fighting: we have ideâ€" als here which we must uphoid, if we are not to break faith with those who are dying for us. Gratuiâ€" ties and allowances are mighty litâ€" tle: what we must do for our fightâ€" ers is make certain that they are given the most sympathetic and the best treatment at the time they need it most. After the war isn‘t the time for Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto. For those who are suffering in Christie Street, dying crowded toâ€" gether, tortured by a through railâ€" way line along one side of the hosâ€" pital and a factory and a steel yard on the other two the time is now. For those in Christie Street, that time is now. Australia built and equipped a large hospital in some six monthsâ€" and turned it over to the United States for the use of U.S. Pacific casualties. We in Canada have had close on fiveyears to prepare, and we are only now beginning to reaâ€" lize that our accommodation is woefully inadequate. _ _ courage to ‘put the city‘s sewage plants in their present fine condiâ€" tion. Dr. Berry stated that cause of the major part of the stench resulted from the fact that Waterloo is takâ€" ing care of waste from Seagram‘s Distillery, despite the fact the plant is not capable of this He revealed that the distillery is at present inâ€" stalling very expensive equipment to handle its own waste adequateâ€" ly.
