(A): The only reasonable way of permanently removing hair is by electrolysis, even though this is not entirely satisfactory or easy to do, A small electric current is us- ed to destroy the hair root. It must be done carefully to prevent scar- ring and pitting, a complication more likely _to occur on the upper lip. It is a time-consuming proce- dure and only small areas should be done at one sitting. Despite the drawbacks. elec- trolysis can be done safely and with good results by a specialist, usually a dermatologist or some- one recommended by him. (Q): "I am anemic and have a yellow -colored skin. I hem- orrhage a lot with my periods and am very nervous. This has been going on for several months _ Shots--....n.d..,_-drtrgs--- haven't helped so far. Can you suggest anything?" — Mrs. E. M, (A): First the cause of your anemia must be determined. I feel the symptoms (yellow skin, hemorrhage) are a result of this. These complaints are not usually found in the commonest type of anemia (iron deficiently), so other causes must be sought. This can best be done by a hematologist (blood specialist). Consult one as soon as possible. (Q): "What is a strawberry tongue? Does it signify any-. thing dangerous?"—Mrs, A. E. H. (A): This term is used to des- cribe the red, swollen tongue seen in some infections, notably scarlet fever. It clears with proper treat- ment of the underlying infection, FUEL OIL HEAP WHERE YOU WANT IT WHEN YOU WANT IT Phone For Prompt Delivery FARM and HOME DON B.RIGHTRALL Seaforth 354 MAIN S. CORSAGES, LIGHTED ,CAKE and gifts add pleasure to the day for birthday celebrants at Huron County home, Clinton..

BirthdayT.i.mes Come Often At Huron County Home (By Joan May, in the London Free Press) "Swing all around when you meet your own "Allemande left the corners all "Right to your partner grand change all "Address when you meet and pass right on , . Words of a dance as old as square-dancing rang through the hall, chanted by a farmer who has been calling for dancers for 35 years. Eight children, from 6 to 11 years old, swirled through the change; 16 little feet circling ands swinging and busily pacing. Hands cupped to ears, eyes shining, 100 old people watched with delight, toes tapping fo the rhythm, The scene was the Duron County Home, on the outskirts of Clinton. This was the big day of the month —the day the residents check on their calendars, dress in their best for and talk about until the next Ones comes along. It was -birthday party day.• ECONOMIC FACTS A fully licensed hotel, providing complete services to the. Local and the travelling public, will be of equal economic value to Seaforth as a new medium-sized industry. Here Is how the citizens and taxpayers will benefit: • Increased Assessment Due to necessary changes,and improvements in the present hotel property, a substantial increase in assessment on the building will result. • Gallonage Tax Rebate Many residents will remember that prior to the CTA, the Town received a substantial annual grant from the Provincial Government, being part of the gallonage tax paid to the Liquor Licence Board on the sale of .bever- ages. This will again apply if the 'voters approve hotel licences on Wed- nesday, May 11. • Employment. The hotel will provide permanent employment for a number of local people. During the period alterations are being made, thousands of dollars will be spent in wages to local people in the building and assopiated trades. • Building Materials Considerable expenditures will be made locally for building materials, hardware, etc., during renovations of the building. Once the hotel goes into operation; many local businesses will benefit from regular purchases of groceries, meats, and other day-to-day supplies used in considerable quantities by up-to-date hotels. You can help to bring ' all this about by Voting "YES" on WEDNESDAY, MAY lith -SEAFORTH BUSINESSMEN'S COMMITTEE When a Women's Auxiliary to the count home was formed a year ago—its first birthday was marked with a big tea this week— the group decided its objective should be to "bring a bit -of the outside in and take the residents out into the community." The busy doctor's • wife . who heads the auxiliary, Mrs. F. G. Thompson, of Clinton, admits that, before the group was organized, she has never been in the home. Neither had the great majority of the 50 women from Clinton, Sea - forth, Blyth, Londesboro, Goderich, Exeter and other Huron County •communities who form the auxil- iary. "Those -Who had no direct con- tact with the home — the majority, that is — had passed it on the highway hundreds of times, but had never had occasion to go in- side. We seldom gave it a thought," she said. The past year has changed all that. With 50 women thinking about the home, and visiting it each month for their meetings, changes were bound to come And these changes have 'all been for the good, says the genial superin- tendent of the home, former Huron County warden Harvey Johnston. Mr. Johnston and the county pro- vided a good background for the auxiliary. The main building 'of the home -•-which everyone agrees is obsolete—was built in 1891. It was glamorized with a modern ad- dition in 1954; another million -dol- lar addition is rising now, and will replace the old section. But even in the old building, Mr. Johnston and his staff of 26 have aimed at a home -like, non -institu- tional atmosphere. Personal plc; tures and souvenirs dot the resi- dents' rooms: "waste" ctrners in the old section are furnished with comfortable chairs, tables and reading lamps. A farm is, operated in connec- tion with the home, its 40 head of purebred Holsteins and the day-to- day farm operations providing ex- tra interest for the residents. Only real lack was contact with the outside community and a sense of belonging to it. The auxiliary set about remedy- ing the situation. They awakened interest in the home in other or- ganizations—the Legion Auxiliary, the Lions Club, the Women's Aux- iliary to the Huron Medical Asso- ciation, Women's Institutes. They named an entertainment convener —Mrs. Gordon Cunningham—who arranged drives and popular Sun- day evening trips to the drive=in church service at Clinton. Then someone thought of the birthday parties and the Women's "Institutes of the county — with their background of sponsoring community parties and their tal- ent for discovering and promoting local talent—offered to take over. "There are enoughtlnstitutes in the county to put ori • a birthday party every month for three years," Mrs. Thompson said, "We are certainly grateful for what they are doing." The Institutes decide among themselves which will be respon- sible for each month's party. Then they name a lunch convener and a program convener—and ,the show is on! The March party, 'with Seaforth Women's Institute in charge, was a typical one. The Institute first found out from Mr. Johnston that six resi- dents would mark their birthdays that mouth. Then the group's 35 members went to••work. Mrs. Joseph Grummetf made fancycotton print aprons for the five women celebrants, each a dif- ferent pattern with gay trimming. Socks were bought for the one male celebrant. Miss Marian Hunt made corsag- es for them all. Mrs. Lorne Carter and Mrs. 'An- drew Crozierplanned the lunch— two big decorated cakes to assure a good sized piece to all the 104 residents, the staff and any visi- tors. They assigned members to turn 12 loaves of bread into sand- wiches, others to arrange the tea and cups. The president, Mrs. •' Harold Hugill, called on Mrs. Ross Gor- don, Mrs. Howard Wilson and Mrs. John .McGregor to help with the program, and this presented no problem at all. The Seaforth WI regularly sponsors winter parties in their home community, and learned long ago that "you can't call oh outside people all the time." Over the years, they have de- veloped their own talents—as well as those of husbands and children. They have nurtured and encourag- ed• little singers and dancers, taught themselves to make cos- tumes, organized "bees" for prac- tice and sewing. The result — a pool of talent, with no un ns or fees to worry •about. Their two-hour program in. Clin- ton included a change and reel by the square-dance group, the Mc- Killop Squarettes. Trained by WI member Mrs, Orville Storey, with WI husband Gordan Papple cailj- ing and Harry Norris playing the fiddle, the eight children happily took the afternoon off from school to perform, wearing new green and white costumes made by their mothers. • Chubby nine-year-old WI daugh- ter Sharon Strong sang and taps' danced in a blue velvet dress; and Ruth Ann Wilson, 8, did the same, dressed in- short, flaring gree lime. WI members Mrs. Cleave Coombs and Mrs. Ross Gor- don sang solos and WI husband Erlin Whltmore sang another. Four 13 -year-old WI daughters, enjoying an afternoon off from Grade 8 at SS 4, McKillop, did a step -dance. Then four-year-old Ralph Whit- more wished everyone a deep - throated "Happy Birthdaq " As he spoke, Mrs. Hugill lighted the •cake;,pepers rustled in the kit - then, as sandwiches were unwrap- ped and heaped on plates. Miss Dorothy Parke, nurse in charge at the home for the past three years, was one of the most delighted of the spectators for her home was Seaforth and site knew many of the visitors. But that was not her only reason for pleasure. "Look at them," she said, her good-natured- face beam- ing as she nodded toward her charges. "These programs do them the world of good!"
