JOHN LIVERMORE, Clerk and Returning Officer Harold's White Rose Dr. Mary Rutnam has received the Ramon IVIagsaysay Award for public service, This award, which is the Asian equivalent of the No bel prize, has never before been made to a woman, and only five men have received it, Dr. Rutnam is the former Mary Irwin, native of Clinton, and her father operated a grpcery store on the corner now occupied by Pick- ett and Campbell Ltd. men's wear store, She joined the American Medical Mission at Jaffna in Cey- lon in 1896, marrying a Tamil Ceylonese and making her home in Ceylon, Some of her five child- ren have been educated in Toron- to. This award was founded in me- mory of Ramon Magsaysay, presi- dent of the Phillippines, who died in a plane crash in 1957, It is pre- sented to persons in Asia "for ex- emplifying the highest type of de- mocratic leadership". Word of the award has reached us officially through Mrs. George Wilson, St. Marys, who is the Pu- blic Relations Officer for the Fed- erated Women's Institute of Can- ada. Dr. Rutnam practised medi- cine in Colombo and became Cey- lon's first woman municipal coun- cilor. Her desire to assist the rur- al women led to the organization in 1930 of the Ceylon equivalent of the Women's Institute, known as Lanka Mahili Samiti. Now 28 years later, they are island-wide, with a membership of 75,000. Working with the women of Ceylon, Dr. Rutnam inspired them to adopt better methods of home- making, hygiene, nutrition, child care, gardening and crafts. She also encouraged them to take part in public affairs. At the world conference in Col- ombo, of the Associated Country Women of the World, Dr. Rutnam presided for the Ceylon Day pro- gram. Delegates will long remem- ber the dignity and charm with which she accomplished this task. Recalling the conference, which she attended as a Western Ontario delegate; Mrs, George Wilson, St, Marys.,. comments, "It must have given Dr, Rutnam tremendous sat- sfaction to see those rural women taking part in that program. We rejoice that her efforts in the field of citizenship have been re- Warded within her lifetime." Mrs. Wilson talked .with Dr. Rutnam at the conference, and recalls that she spoke of her early life here in Clinton, and of the early struggles they had in Cey- lon to establish training centres, Dr, Rutnern is now 85 years old, but this did not stop her from journeying to Manila, where the Ramon Magsaysay Award was presented. Unlikely To Shoot Rat ..Deer; They Would Outrun Fox What's the possibility that deer shot this fall may have rabjes? Deer, as well as other mam- mals, can contact rabies, but the possibility of shooting a rabid deer is remote, Dominion health of animals branch officials at Hull, who check suspected specimens for the disease, report their list show no confirmed rabies cases in deer for the whole of Canada. This, they say, is not surprising, since PACM rOUTS. 1 We Specialize In AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS HAROLD'S WHITE ROSE HAROLD KING, PROP.

Some people have a flair for giving. They have a talent and taste for choosing the most exciting Christmas presents. They give the good things that make living more pleasurable. Many of these people will give modern electric appliances this Christmas— and they'll insist on having them ready for use on Christmas day, because they know these appliances will make Christmas (and every day for that matter) a new and exciting experience. So, this year, do a little hinting. Just say you'd like something wonderful for the household something the whole family can enjoy. And don't be surprised if you get a superb, modern automatic electric appliance to help you "live better electrically"—the safe, clean, modern way.
