By | Harriet Christie
s Roporter For
Mitiage of Slocan
It takes sympathetic, de-
dicated men and women with
stamina and skills to take
wrecked lives and make them
whole again. That’s the spirit
that pervails at the G.
Strong Rehabilitation Centre
in. Vancouver, one of the
loveliest cities in Canada.
This wonderful medical
centre is standing on W. 27th
Ave. and is-a one storey mo-
dern building that covers a
large area. It is built around
a central patio space where
flowers and shrubs are grow-

ing. It contains a huge re-
creation room and dining
area for in-patients,

The halls are wide to
secommodate wheel chairs
and off the halls are many
rooms used by doctors on
the staff and Patients” rooms
which are nicely furnished.
There is a homelike atmos-

here about the whole place,
including the ‘administrator's
office and the medical direc-

tor’s ‘office and doctors and|also
