There must al- ways be enough workers, enough equipment and enough money to keep the Red Cross on the job and keep it strong, Hundreds of Canadians voluntarily donate their time and energy to the work of Red Cross. By contributing gen- erously, Canadians will be making sure that the funds needed to carry on this great work are always available. This year the Canadian Red Cross needs over five million dollars. That money has a lot of work to do: from the big emergency tasks like Disaster Service, down to the routine things the average person doesn't hear much about. For instance: Red Cross Sickroom Supply Loan Cupboards, where families can borrow a hospital bed, a wheelchair, crutches, blankets or any other needed article in time of sickness in the home. Make your contribution to the Red Cross a generous one. You will be helping to make Canada a safe place to live. Ontario's Crippled Children Need Your Help AN APPEAL to the people of Ontario to purchase Easter Seals and in this way further the work of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children was voiced by Hon. Mackinnon Phil- lips, Minister of Health. The campaign in Clin- ton is being sponsored by the Clinton Lions Club to help obtain the $475,000 needed for the work of the Society. In endorsing the organization which cares operates 6,000 handicapped youngsters, op aces a year round cerebral palsy research and treatment service, finances and operates three summerr camps for crippled children and still carries out its major work of clinical investigation and treatment of such children all over Ontario, Dr. Phillips said: "The Special Committee on Handicapping Conditions of Children of the • Ontario Health Survey Committee defined a crippled child as one who 'from birth to 21 years of age, because of congenital or acquired defect, is or is likely to be limited in normal activity'. The Ontario Society for Crippled Children is doing a mar- velous job in this field, and it is only right that we should all get in there and help through our purchase of Easter Seals during the Society's annual campaign. I am happyto commend to the people of Ontario the work ofSociety this and its most worthy appeal for assistance. I would like to mention also the work of over 200 Service Clubs in Ontario who sponsor this annual Easter Seal drive on behalf of the Society. Their great humanitarian work is deserving of all praise." "Book Week In Canada" SPONSORS OF "Book Week in Canada" -- (March 14 to 21) frankly state their purpose: to promote books and increase the ' ize of the regular reading public in Canada, and to pub- licize the works of Canadian authors, drawing the attention of the public to their problems and their methods of working. This purpose is being carried forward this year against a background of books by other than Canadian authors. Hitherto, the name of book week was, in Canada, "Canadian Book Week", which implied a stressing of Canadian authors, and little or no consideration was given to the great backlog of excellent works from European and American sources. This next week the special displays in our public libraries, (the Clinton Public Library among them), will be mainly of Canadian works, But the reading public is asked not to ignore the many other wonderful books on the shelves. There has been a steady increase in• book sales within the Dominion, whichindicates a growing interest in literature. This increase in readers should also produce an increase in criti- cal appreciation and examination of our Can- adian literature. We were quite discouraged but hardly shocked to hear that Canada's governor-gen- eral, Rt. Hon. Cincent Massey speaking before the 75th anniversary convocation at the Univer- sity of Western Ontario, said there was a great tendency on the part of university students to cram knowledge from textbooks and anthologies. Evidence of using book reviews as substitutes for books and the views of critics rather than original opinions, was warning that the univer- sities may be producing graduates who will be unable to analyse current problems, Mr. Massey inferred. Surely, something must be missing entirely from the curriculum planning of our universities. This has been the reason for education since schools were first begun: a teaching of basic knowledge, certainly, but more than that, a training in methods of reasoning and cultivation of a student's ability to think and plan a solution to any problem which he may meet in his after-school living. From Our Early Files 40 YEARS AGO The Clinton New Era Thursday, March 13, 1913 The hydro commissioner ex- pects to have the transm(is'sion line extended from Seaforth se that Clinton and Goderich will be able to have power by August IS t. The depositors of the Farmer's Bank in Brucefield who lost so heavily by the failure have now given up all hopes of getting any. - thing out of it as the Govern- ment' doss not see best to help. All were under the impression that a chartered bank was per- fectly safe. Mir. Ted Cook left on Monday of this week for Goderich where he takes a position in the organ factory there, This week Mr. J. Wise and family moved to town and have taken up their residence in the house of Muir, John McClacherty. This week the business known as James Twitchell and Son Boot and Shoe Merchants has been purchased by Harry C. Bar - bridge, St. Thomas, The Clinton News Record Thursday, March 13, 1913 Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Cole cele- brated their sixtieth wedding anniversary on Friday last. Twelve letter boxes have arr- ived from Ottawa and will be placed this week at various parts of the tcwn to better the postal facilities of the citizens, Mr. C. B. Hale has taken an agency for the insurance of livestock. Miss Bessie Weston of the Bay- field' Road has returned to town to resume her positionas millin- er. The Messrs Fremlin have pur- chased the cottage on the corner of Frederick and Dunlop Streets from Mr. R. G. Thompson of Goderich Township. Miss Tessie Crooks has taken a position in Barrie, going up to the northern town the end.of this week. PETER, of the BACK SHOP Oh, my goodness, the worst has happened. The veriest worst of all calamities has fallen upon this humble mouse—or should we say rushed past instead of fallen? That wouldn't be exactly true, either for it didn't go exactly past, at all—and yet it certainly didn't stop, either. We'd better tell you all the details. © © 0 There has been considerable discussion of late in a most worthy comic strip in the daily papers, concerning a similar happening. One small short - haired dog keeps muttering something about getting his tail caught in a screen door, and the tail certainly shows a definite jog to prove that something drastic has happen- ed, However, we'd like to write him a wee fan letter, and let him know that he suf- fered little compared to us this week. The men have a shiny metal gadget which sits back beside tate linotype machine, This machine rarely makes any noise, and it certainly does not wander around at all. Generally we find it the least objectionable of all the furni- ture in the back shop. In fact, the flat platform at the top makes a perfect floor for a square dance held in the full of the moon, and we also have spent some time there combing our whiskers and just resting from the rigours of the day. Wednesdays, of course, it's a different matter. The Men are always slightly agitated while they're trying to get the paper to bed, and we always make it a point to stay quite well out of sight. That is the day that this otherwise quiet object sets up an almost continuous whirr and whang combined with low growls and other slightly noisome prac- tices. 0 © O Well, as we were saying, we sometimes spend a bit of time on the top of this gadget. We were getting a slight bit of ex- tra sleep there on Monday af- ternoon (since the machine is grey, we're hardly visible even though out in plain sight), when suddenly the thing leapt into motion with a zing, and we woke from a pleasant dream to a realization of sud- den pain in the extremity of our tail. 0 0 0 Now, just why that Man had chosen Monday as a time to saw a bit of metal from the end of a slug, and why, oli why, he was BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY CHIROPRACTIC D.

Thompson, now on the staff of Westminster Military Hospit- al, London who received the Canadian Efficiency Decoration. not awake enough to see our long slim beautiful tail in the path of the blade, we'll never know. What we do know, is that we have had an experience terrible in the life of a mouse. The pain, the loss of blood, and the shame connected with the lack of a tail -tip are bad enough, but we'd like to register a further protest concerning such rude awakening. It isn't very of- ten that this mouse can even dream up a good Swiss cheese, but this time we were romping through the holes having a whee of a time, and had just decided to settle down to dinner, when "Zing!" went the saw. To say we resent it is putting it mildly.

We would like to tell you that my husband wore these socks three years and then I made out of them a small woollen dress for my child.
