Ontario Command’s Memberâ€" ship Committee has embarked on an ambitious program for 1968. A goal of 108,000 paid-up members by December 31 has been set and. as an incentive, all members who bring in five or more new or reinstated members will be eligible for their choice of a set of Legion cuff-links, a pewter stein with the Legion crest or a Legion leather wallet. It is with some regret that we report that neither the cuff- links. the stein nor the wallet can be filled before presenta- tion. nor it It: a: Comrade Gordon Bayler, who is presently a patient in York Central Hospital, has issued an anneal.

With only $146,000 to go in a little over two months before convention time, it would seem that we're going to make it. Of the ten Legion Commands, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Sas- katchewan have gone over their 100% quota while Ontario has reached 79%. Quebec has the lowest standing with 52.5%. and this has left some Legion- naires wondering whether the fairest of them all, Justice Minâ€" ister Pierre Trudeau. is a vet- eran. “If a veteran why not a Legionnaire?” Is a current maxim that includes men of fortitude from every Canadian region; Royal Canadian Army Reserve or otherwise.

This week a collection of miscellaneous literary extracts is submitted for your reading pleasure. We understand that such collections are usually re- ferred to by journalists as “pot- POUI‘I‘i".

Comrade Gordon Bayler, who is presently a patient in York Central Hospital, has issued an appeal. He said last Week that he and several other patients would like it very much if a group of cribbage players could visit them either in the after- noon or the evening. Further particulars can be obtained from the public rela- tions officer at the Legion Cour-t. It is with some regret that we report that neither the cuff- links. the stein nor the wallet can be filled before presenta- tion. Life is very boring lying in bed with nothing to do. and they are not in a position to move the beds around in order to play among themselves. Sports Officer Gord Mills stated that he would bring the subject up at last Monday’s general meeting. and it is hoped that a cribbage delegation will soon be in action on the second floor at York Central. On several occasions it has been asked why charter flights are not operated from Toronto Legion charter flights to Lon- don, England, are again in abundance this year. Members and their families who might be thinking of flying to Britain for a holiday may be interested in the following charter dates: July 6 â€" July 31, via DC8 jet, fare $255 return. children 2 years and under free. Comrade Rudy Meitz is also a patient in the same room with Gord. and ahey are expected to be there for several weeks yet. your legian Reports Branch 375, Royal Canadian Legion By Eric Chapman - 884-0086 MARKHAM VILLAGE: A mod- ern. 50-bed nursing home is now under constnuction on Concession 9 near Highway 7. The home. to be known as Beach Haven, will contain a nurses‘ residence in the central part of the building with visual contact possible to all rooms. Occupancy is scheduled for June and accommodation for 50 more beds is anticipated in ad- ditional wings by 1969. Of course, the same question could be asked concerning the absence of a Legion chartered flight from Toronto to Pentic- ton, BC. in May. to points other than Britain. Why not Paris. Rome. Hawaii or even Hong Kong? The ans- wer is that charter flights can be and are operated by some organizations to these places. but the Legion hasn’t yet found a sufficient number of members interested enough to make such flights possible. This pot-pourri would not be complete unless it contained a reference to our gallant lad- ies. Last week’s column conâ€" tained what is generally known as a “clanger” â€" for apparently we reported that our provincial womenfolk had donated the fabulous sum of $240,000 to the Legion Bursary Fund. The correct figure should have read $24,000; which lends a little weight to the arithmetic that followed, and which was so generously pointed out to be in error. We suspect that Ginger Coffey has returned to his former job 'of proof-reading. and one can never trust a gal- ley slave unless he’s Irish. And a final reminder, as Fred Simpson might put it, of the darts tournament that will commence at 11 am this Satur- day a-t the court. A dance will follow in the evening; music provided by Freddie Bird and another of those great pipe bands. this time from Willow- dale. A gathering of all the clans you might call it. The proposed addition will ‘ permit the hospital to increase its services as well as relocate existing departments, which will be designed for the great- est efficiency. Some of the ser- vices not presently available which it is hoped will be in- cluded are psychiatric, chronic and extended convalescent care, with an intensive care ward, and a home care program. i By MARY DAWSON ' The 411 members of the York Central Hospial I Auxiliary contributed a total of 15,1811-3 hours of volunteer work to the efficient running of the hos- pital during 1967, it was reported at the sixth annual meeting held in the hospital cafeteria on the evening of February 15. This brings the total hours of volunteer help in the four years the hos- pital has been operating to 64,261. These hours were spent in the gift shop, with the gift cart. in the emergency depart- ment, in escort service. in visi- tor control, at the information desk, in the office or labs, in baby sitting and training per- iods, in handling the details of baby photography, and in the pediatric ward, a new service begun in 1967. Besides these hours of serv- ice in the hospital. many more hours were spent in fund rais- ing projects by the 11 area groups and by the auxiliary as a whole. Total receipts for the year were $18.827.97 and ex“ penditures were $10,401.60 which included payment for a Guest speaker was Hospital Administrator Gary Chatfield, who with the help of slides ex- plained the planned expansion of the hospital from the pres- ent 126-bed capacity to 372 in 1970. He pointed out that dur- ing 1967 the.hospital had regis- tered 95% of capacity when 85% is considered capacity for a non-teaching hospital. Noting that the hospital is already the largest single em- ployer in the southern half of the County of York. with an annual payroll of $1,417,371, he reported that when the present plans are carried out this will increase to about $5,000,000. Seventy percent of the expenses of running the hospital is wages paid to the staff. In the election of officers, conducted by Chairman Stuart Parker, QC. of the board of trustees, the slate of officers prepared by the nominating committee was accepted. As an indication of the need for expansion. Mr. Chatfield re- ported 20,500 bed patients and 3.000 babies cared for at York Central Hospital with over 30,000 people treated in the emergency ward in 1967. In the four years of operation in- creases in services given range from 20% to 151%. This bore out his statement that “Exist- ing facilities are bursting at the seams year." Mrs. E. E.
