ONTARIO Message From (Continued from Page 6) how damaging the prestige of the gentlemen of the cloth. At first, people used to say that when they had a family of their own Oscar and Ethel would learn a few things and be too busy to meddle. The years went by and they remained childless. People were earnestly seeking some way of shutting them up, when the ad- vertising incident happened that really closed their free informa- tion bureau for good. This all took place in the days when the travelling public moved at a slow pace and had time to look around. It was then .a fad to paint signs on the side of barns. The farmer pocketed $10 or. $20 and the paint helped preserve the siding. One day a young man came along and asked Oscar if he might lease the side of the -barn nearest the highway and railroad line. Oscar didn't trouble to find out what -the' sign was .about. He, de- manded and got $25 for a year's lease on the side of the barn. When the sign painter arrived, Oscar simply glowed with pride. The first coat would help preserve the barn. Oscar was even consid- ering how, if the barn had been at the corner of the Concession and sideroad he ,might have rented all four sides. The painters were ex- perts, and they even bought their dinner from Ethel and didn't hag- gle over the price. " Oscar was feeling the elation and glow of a man who 'has made a good bhrgain. Wheal the first coat had dried, the painters went to work again, 'with the actual sign. Gradually, out of the maze of flowing paint and the. curlicues of color there emerged a sign. First of all there was a baby with- out clothes . '. . pink and happy and across from it a dis- tinguished bird with a great hill appeared to grow into sight at •the hands of the painters. It was a stork . . . the famous Dt. Stork of baby medicine fame. Oscar was bewildered, at first. He certainly had a foreboding of the . consequence of such a sign. He hadn't expected anything of this nature. Most of the barn signs concern- ed themselves with feeds, or fenc- ing or patent' medicines for use of livestock of various kinds. This was a matter of a different hue. He began to wonder what would happen when Ethel appeared on the scene to view'the sign. The sign appeared like magic, and sure enough Ethel arrived just as they were installing their mas- terpiece. As she, carne down the laneway, one of the painters told nye later, Oscar seemed like a pea shrivellin "in a pod on a hot July day. ?'here, the stork and the baby loomed up at Ethel. Now the pair of them, stork and baby, would have been bad enough, but there wasp a commercial message that added` insult to injury. This was the salt in the wound, because the sign read in tremendous letters; "Dr. Stork Is Always „Welcome In Our Home." Ethel just about hart a seizure or a fit, because she stormed and raved and demanded that the sign be removed. They assured her they couldn't remove it Then she demanded that the sign be .painted over, hiding baby .and stork froth the view of the gen- eral public. The painters laughed at her, and told Oscar to read his contract. Oscar loped for the house while the painters were pack- `ing their gear, to the accompani- ments of Ethel demanding her rights. It was a crest -fallen Oscar who appeared from the house. He had read his contract. It was an iron- clad one, saying that the sign had to remain for a year, and that the contractor had the right to touch it up if the weather faded the sign. ' That sign became a landmark.

Engineers tooted their whistles at it, as they pass- ed by. People used to dawdle by on Sunday afternoons or have pic- nics on the far side of the rail- road bridge in a spot where they could examine the sign at their leisure. Oscar Was a township councillor and at meetings the reeve loved to ask "Dr. Stork" for his opinion on matters. Mrs. Oscar tried once or twice to get in some advice on parental care at community meet- ings, but the other women smiled her into silence. Oscar quit the council without running for reeve. He didn't appear at any more meetings of the school board. The end of that year couldn't come too soon for the pair. Then Oscar was faced with the dilemna. The company wouldn't paint the sign over and Oscar didn t want t paint one side without painting the whole barn, and he was too frugal for that sort of thing. He tried scraping the sign off but it was mighty good paint. He tried burning it off and almost set the barn on ?fire.' Finally, Oscar took the siding off and reversed it, with the paint- ed side on the inside.

Century after century, the disease has gone on unchecked, re- ducing millions to helplessness. At present, more than a"-quartdr of a million Canadians suffer the effects of arthritis and rheumatic diseas es. Medical science today can pre- vent crippling in about four out of five cases. Research, while still seeking a preventive or cure, has increased our basic knowledge of the disease enormously. There are more treatment facilities for arth- ritics than ever before. The public, too,1 is becoming more 'aware of, the health threat posed by this. major health problem. To support all these activities and provide a way for the indi- vidual citizen - to, help in the fight, there is a voluntary national ag- ency devoting itself to the arthritis and rheumatism problem — The Canadian Arthritis and Rheuma- tism Society. This society, which has been battling the disease since -1948, has two pri a objectives. For one, it seeks `to expand its patient care services so that as much relief as possible lnay be brought to those who suffer now. The other is to find a cure that will wipe out arthritis misery for all time. To this end it supports key research studies in some twenty University Medical School departments from coast-to-coast. The need is for an ever -widening research program for the conquest of arthritis in our time. LOCAL BRIEFS Mr. J.
