adopted a report of its special Hos
pital Committee calling for four 500
bed hospitals, one in each section to
be built on the outer edges of the
city.
Mr.. Watson's report, as submitted
to The Star, also calls for four 500
bed hospitals. one in each section of
the city. Mr.. Watson, although
making no mention of the Randle
Highlands plan In his written report,
said he accepted the idea OF four
hospitals, but disagreed over the
question of support. The Randle
Highlands proposal called for the
hospitals to be self supporting on
the basis of funds received from
patients"
Payroll Deductions.
Mr. Watson, however, has ad-
vanced the idea that the hospitals
should be supported by payroll de-
ductions," which he described as
"a real social security plan"
Financing the upkeep Of such
hospitals" the report stated, could
be arranged by the same methods
as the social security pensions. I
believe the health of the Nation
should have priority over pensions,
because a person must be healthy
to grow old enough to enjoy
pension.

hospitals already is in operation,

funds"
| Mr.. Watson said he believed the
citizen would be benefited because
"he would be always sure of the
proper treatment at the proper time.

into his pocket to pay for a long

or s500,00Q for each hospital. AL
though construction presumably

war, it is proposed that the land

The present ban on pleasure driv-
ing is bound to make changes in our
recreational activities. The disin-
clinatlon many people feel toward
riding any distance on the public

the crowds attending movies, ETC.,

folks who seldom stayed in before.

result Of this is a boom in avocations.
Although priorities and conversion

Reading should experience a re-

find this an excellent opportunity
to add some nice volumes to their

of its aspects makes a very good
hobby. They may be collected by
the actual acquisition of the book
in the physical sense or by reading
them in such manner as to retain
them on the bookshelves of the
mind. Either method makes a good
hobby.
But after these collections are
made, these ships and railroads are
built, these fish are bred, these pic
lures are taken, then what? Most

Strange as it seems, the chances
are that the Westminster Kennel
Club in New York will have more
successful, larger and peppier show
this year than formerly. There is
very apparent "do-or-die" air
among dog fanciers this year, who
feel that life may hold only one
more Westminster show for them

Stress the fact that exhibits in

be obtained: Stamps, coins, photo

these notices within walking dis

run from, say 7:30 to $50, and give
all time to go home and to bed
about their usual hour. No elaborate
preparations would be needed. Each
entrant could bring a card table to
hold his own display. OF course a
list of entrants would have to be
prepared in advance, and space al
