the major program prop
for the Castlegar and District Hospital.

The expansion is badly needed, is
‘long overdue, and does not appear un- |
reasonably costly when detailed study is
given to what is proposed in the bylaw.

When the present hospital was built
it was viewed by Victoria as not much
more than an efficient, up-to-date first-
aid station that was to be subservient to
the hospitals located at both Trail and
‘Nelson. It is now a busy acute general
hospital requiring facilities which were
not considered necessary in the original
planning.

proved the expansion program here this
means that BCHIS is more than convinc-
ed of its necessity.

‘In fact, figures given publicity by
the hospital society last week indicate
that the 50 beds with which the hospital

Further need for a “yes” vote at
this time is demonstrated by recent state-
ments made: by hospital trustee board

i Ross McCut who said ‘that

locally that the $2 million bylaw (of
which $989,105 will be raised in the Cas-
tlegar Hospital Improvement District) is
being spent to gain very few beds. The
other side of this line of thinking is the
realization that in some communities new
hospitals are being built with less beds
or, at the most, the same number of beds
as the facilities they are replacing for
either a gain of no beds at all or, in some
cases, evert a loss of beds. And the by-
. laws in those communities are for a great
