Original Toronto Star caption: The pub that opened yesterday in the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital is therapeutic: Sherry, beer and rye are served on a prescription basis, and it's hoped the atmosphere will relieve the boredom of hospital life. Volunteer barman Stan Raven was at the piano for the opening, leading patients in old-time songs. The pub, in a hospital sunroom, is open two days each week.
