If everyone were like Dr. Margaret Strang, the second woman to receive the degree of doctor of medicine from the University of Western On­ tario and a member of this year’s .graduating class, there would be no need of these dreams to remain un­ realized. Dr. Strang’s longing has been “to . go off on a jaunt through unknown and rough wilderness.” In a re­ cent letter to Dean Ruby Mason of th© university, Miss Strang says: “I . am going north—as a sort of mon­ grel representative of the Frontier ‘College, Toronto. University grad­ uates and undergraduates are em­ ployed by the college to teach the people in the mining and lumbering ..eamps, in railway construction ■camps and other places where educa- ■tional advantages are hard to get. And I say mongrel because these col­ lege people are all men-—and they get paid for their work—-whereas I am not a man and not to be paid. They afe paying my way UP there and giving me the use of aFord while there, otherwise I have to scratch for my own living. I expect it will take some scratching, too. some teaching among Which I understand, French-Canadian, If French-Canadian all the time I just see myself groping wildly for Boine of the classical French phrases that I learned in high school—and wondering if this jargon Dutch, Mexican or what! jng an emergency kit of medical instruments with I may be called upon, to of them.” Dr, Strang is to be located at a small place by the name of Edlund, not far from Kapuskasing, west of Cochrane, ‘ The car of which she speaks is to be sent by rail to her headquarters there and from there she is to make visits td the surround­ ing settlers. As an undergaduate, Margaret Strang is best remembered for her connection with the University Or­ chestra. - All through her course she played the base viol—commonly known as the “brute” around the university. For her never-failing sense of honor and for her many kind deeds she is remembered by her classmates. These qualities will no doubt stand her in good stead on the venture which has taken her to the northland.—'The London Advertiser. to do people mostly speak tan is French, I am tak- drugs and me in case help some j THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE How Can We Improve Exeter?

Not long ago in company with a number of others we had the pleasure of making an auto trip through this and the next county, making it a sort of picnic party, tak­ ing along our provisions and hot tea for the first meal, Upon reaching a town not fifty miles from Exeter after making some additional pur­ chases we inquired for a park where we could eat in the shade or at least in comfort. We were 'directed to the Fair Grounds where there was a dilapidated looking grand stand with the grounds untidy and , neglected. No shade worth mentioning was there. Disappointed we moved on for about half-an-hour when we came to a fine shady lane leading to a farm house where the mistress provided us with all the chairs we needed and additional hot water and was anxious to do. more for us. Needless to say we thought of the town behind us and wished we could give them to see that for the sake of themselves, their children and visit­ ors, it would be wise to im­ prove their parks and probably open new ones. When we inquired for a park in which to eat our lunch the quest^ned one seemed non-plussed andflcarcely knew what*to reply. jFWe thought of Exeter with our ^Victoria Park which, though too much chaded yet is an inviting spot, With seats, band stand, closet and house for wet weather. If we had a small stove in the house it would be fine. In Central Park some day when the trees behind, th.e-..'library have grown larger so as io give the necessary shade we shall have an­ other quiet and beautiful spot for tourists but best of all, in the opinion of many of our citizens could River view Park be made an attractive re­ sort. The river with the present dam makes a miniature lake and probably in the future the dam structure will be raised and a water will be the result, slopes and if might much Stratford which is situated almost similiarly to ouroown. There it is so beautiful that picnic parties come' from long distances to enjoy them­ selves. A similiar condition could be brought about in Exeter if we wish­ ed to go about it. An artist, a. few years ago, was here for some days painting pictures and he said there were more faeatuiful views around the river there than he had. discover­ ed in other towns. To help the good work along could not the town or the Public Utilities Commission have the dam cleaned out, making it something more than a frog pond out of which we get our town water. Surely in the interest of cleanliness and health. It should be done. This is an op­ portune time to do it. The river is low on account of the dry weather. The street running back from Caven church should be graded and gravel­ led. Who will move in this matter? It is a worthy object, worthy 'of our compact, well-built and beautiful village. Great things have been done to beautify dwellings and surroundings by individuals and if we could pre­ vail on the few still remaining who will not attend to their boulevards on many of the leading streets to do so what an improvement would re­ sult. Beautiful homes find ready sale at advanced prices while un­ kempt surroundings drive away pros­ pective buyers.—A citizen. doubtless each.
