WINDATT December 10th In Vaughan, 'eu/ gut/4,5,2? ELECT ’nila At Monday night’s Town Coun- cil meeting Mayor Kenneth W. Tomlin declared the introduction of the local Hospital project into the municipal election by a can- didate is “disgraceful and in very poor taste". He said the public spirited people working for the establishment of a much-needed Hospital in this area have no thought of religious sectionalism or any other interest than sup- plying the answer to a great hu- man need. The Mayor made his remarks after the clerk read a letter from a ratepayer expressing doubt on the advisability of any religious denomination being granted auth- ority to operate a Hospital. Coun- cil agreed on motion that the letter be referred to the local Hospital trustees, after Reeve Haggart said as he was himself a candidate in the coming elec- tions he would refrain from com- ment. 424 Osiris Drive, Richmond Hill, Ont. December 1, 1960 I May I be permitted to add my comments to the present “Hospi- tal Controversy". «Eh The letter to council was as follows â€" Objects To Religious Influence In Hospital I am certainly in favour of building a hospital at the most advantageous terms (for the tax- payer that is) and as quickly as possible. I feel, however, that I should add a word of caution. Members of my family have had occasion to visit three hospitals in the greater Toronto area: Grace, St. Michael-s and Branson. I should like to compare the treatments, medical and other- wise, experienced in these hos- pitals. GRACE HOSPITAL (Salvation Army) Accommodation Food Medical Supervision Religious influence ST. MICHAEL’S (Catholic) Accommodation excellent Food excellent Medical Supervision very good Religious influence none Parents are asked to bring their children to the White Gift Service at 9.45 on Sunday, De- cember 11th. This is for all Sun- day School pupils and it is hoped their parents will accompany them to Church. White Gift Sunday is an op- portunity for all to share in giv- ing food, clothing toys etc., to the less fortunate. They need not be new but should be in good condition. At Temperanceville we are looking forward to a gen- erous response to helping aid some needy families through the Fred Victor Mission. Sunday School will be held at 11 am. and will also accept any gifts.» December 17th, Saturday is the date of the Temperance Sunday School party. There will be a pot luck supper begin- ning at 6.30 pm. a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, exchange of gifts and awards for attendance. Any child wishing to sing. recite and play a musical instrument is asked to contact their teachers. Because of the number of smaller children the program will be brief. Parents please plan to bring your children. The first course for the supper will be provided 'but it is hoped the mothers will assist in the meal by bringing pies, cakes, cookies, tarts, jellies - anything one wishes for the dessert, hot dishes like baked beans, spaghet- ti etc., are also acceptable. The attendance has been good at Sun- day School we are looking for- ward to the parents joining‘ in December the 18 will be the Christmas Service; while it is hoped the congregation will make a special effort to attend the Christmas Day Service, Decem- nu.“ u. n. ,W, the Christniasr party, ‘Decerfiber 17 at 6.30 pm.

R. 3, KING TEMPERANCEVILLE NEWS very good excellent excellent Phone, PR. 3-5239 none BRANSON (Seventh Day Adventist) Accommodation Food Medical Supervision Religious influence My first concern with the pres- ent situation in Richmond Hill is one of religious influence. I firmly believe that all relig-l ions are equal, none is better than : the other, and I respect all relig- ions (Christian or otherwise). In turn, I expect that other bodies respect my religious conviction,' this, I am sorry to say, was not the case at Branson. It is well known that patients, regardless of their own religious denomin- ations, were subjected to the re- ligious rules and regulations gov- erning the adherents of the Sev- enth Day Adventist). While I do not subscribe to these ideas and protest most vigorously to be in- timidated while being in the hos- pital, I consider such behaviour very intolerant and unworthy of any hospital. A patient enters hospital to find medical care and not religious indoctrination. This, I assure you, is an objec- tive analysis of our experience in these three hospitals. I have been told that Hospital dietitians at Branson visit pat- ients whose doctor prescribed meat, coffee or tea (which action should not be necessary in the first place) and try to dissuade them to partake of such foods. This, in my humble opinion, is an intolerable situation. Special diets should be prescribed by the patient’s doctor â€" not the hos- pital. I would therefore object to any religious institution operat- ing a hospital in Richmond Hill unless they are prepared to sign an agreement with the munici- pality to abstain from any action resembling religious indoctrina- tion. If an organization is not pre- pared to undertake such an ag- reement. they shouid no? he al- lowed to operate a hospital. ber 25 at 9.45, children are es- pecially asked to come with their parents to Christmas Day Church Service as there will be no Sun- day School.

The Temperanceville Home and School meeting will be held in the form of a Christmas concert on Friday, December 16th at 8 pm. sharp. The children of the school will provide the pro- gram with their teachers and Mrs. St. John in charge. Child- ren always enjoy performing for their parents and it is hoped the meeting will be well attended on this special occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Paxton and family enjoyed a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Passmore of Elora last Sunday. Mrs. Howard Clark is now home from hospital although still bedridden. Mr. Clark is doing his best to take care of her. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Wells vis- ited invalid, Mrs. George Snider who has suffered a severe set back. Later they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Willett on Sunday. For the children and staff of the Orange Home the festive sea- son has already begun.
