Dr Norman Bethune

We had the visit at the SHGV yesterday of two representatives of the Centre D'Histoire de MontrĂ©al wich has a museum at Place Youville (Off McGill) and they took pictures of our archives of the old YMCA wich was on Gordon. Dr Norman Bethune held a clinic every Saturday in the 30s for needy people, free of charge and the photos wil be on display at the museum starting the 3rd of June. There will be a big inauguration with prominent people and including the Chinese delegate. Those outoftowners on a visit to Montreal may want to look it up as it is in the heart of old Montreal.
