Dr. Jona than Goforth, veteran missionary la boring in China undei* the Genera) Board of Missions of the Presbyter ian Church in Canadla are deeply con cerned over reports stating that He is in danger of losing his sight. Lat est news from China states that Rev Dr. Goforth has gone to Pekin for treatment, which he expected to re ceive from an eminent eye specialist Dr. Goforth has been advised against an operation by specialists.

A Lady Doctor of Oceanography A former Exeter girl has distin guished herself in the person of Miss Viola May Davidson, of Toronto daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Davidson, The Saturday Night con tains a splendid likeness of Miss ... idson together with the follow ing; _ae University Women’s Club of T-ionto gave a dinner recently In honor of Miss Viola May Davidson who received the degree of Ph. D 110m the University of Toronto. The uc.-asion was of special interest, not only owing to the fact that Miss Davidson’s chosen field of ocoanagraphy, is one which has at tracted a comparatively small num ber of women, but that she has car-( ried on the research leading to her degree while engaged in her regular work as a teacher on the staff ot the Toronto Secondary Schools. Dur ing the school year, she teaches bio logy in the Central High School of Commerce, while her vacations have been spent at the Atlantic Biological Station in St. Andrews, N'. B. at the Marine Biological Station at Ply mouth, England, . and at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Cape Cod. The title of her thesis, “The Fluctuation in the Abundance of Planktonic Diatoms in the Passama- quoddy Region, N.B.” may convey little to the lay ear, but such re searches have an exceedingly prac tical economic bearing, The problem of meeting the depletion of our fish ery resources is an acute one, and the microscopic marine plants which have been the subject of Miss David son’s study from the necessary food supply of certain fishes at an early stage in their growth. In the course of her speech on the occasion of the Mis!s Davidson gave an interesting account of the graphy, with all its important rami fications in the effect of sea upon climate, in making the sea safe for transporation, and the sea as a source of raw materials for food and commerce. She traced the growth of the modern science of oceanography from the voyage of the Challenger in 1872-6 (an expedition in which the Canadian-born John Murray, later Sir Jolin Murray, played a!n impor tant part) to such developments to day as ithe establishment at Halifax and Prince Rupert of stations for the study of improved methods in the handling and marketing of fish, and for the training of inspectors and managers of canneries. The conferring of the Doctor’s de gree upon Miss Davidson is a recog nition of thorough scholarship ap plied to practical problems of nation al economics, and marks her as an outstanding member of her profes sion. 25 YEARS AGO Jyly 10, 1008 Mr. Frank Ruse intends moving from Hensall to Exeter and has pur chased Mr, Fleming’s house on Vic toria street.

Enjoying good health, Mrs. Hod gins spends much time in her beau- itful garden and also attends to her household 'duties. She recalls graph ically the days when wild fruits were plentifful in tbe forests of McGilliv ray, when the wild plums, the large black cherries and the luscious grapes hung over the waters of the Aux Sable, and when the girls car ried home pails of wild strawberries thimbleberries, blackberries and red- raspberries at the close of the day.

Is it any wonder she becomes nervous and irritable, has hot flushes, faint and dizzy shells, Shortness of breath, sinking and smothering sensations, and can’t sleep at night. Women who are weak and run down will find in Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills a remedy io strengthen the system and bring back the much desired health.

If you are one of those who know the rules of safe driving and obey them, thank you; this message is not for you. If you are a driver who has helped to swell the total of deaths and injuries to the disgraceful figure shown above, take full note! Because of your selfishness, your wilful neglect or thoughtlessness, or perhaps because you think you know better than anyone else how to drive a car and insist upon making your own rules, the lives of 502 citizens of Ontario were snuffed out in twelve months time. During the same period 8,231 were injured, scarred; some of these will never walk again. Among your victims were 853- children playing in the street! Do you think this kind of-driving is worth while? Do you think you are entitled to a license to drive? If one of these victims had beenyoz/r child, your brother, sister, father, mother, or even a friend, would you accept the excuse that the offender’s brakes failed, that the pavement was slippery, that he failed to give a proper signal, or just took some kind of a chance or another? Could you find any excuse for him ? Driving a car brings more pleasure and convenience to more people than perhaps any other modern utility. The highways de partment knows this. No Province has been more thoughtful and, generous in seeking to add to this pleasure and convenience. But you, the unsafe driver, are nullifying the effect of all that has been done. You are making every street and highway unsafe for both pedestrians and other drivers. You are a menace to the aged, the infirm and to little children. To educate you in the rules, to appeal to your sense of fair play, to show you how your recklessness imperils your own life and property, as well as that of others, this department has gone to great lengths. The press, the schools, the radio—all have been utilized in an effort to curb unsafe driving—and the campaign is being continued this year. What are you going to do about it? Remember you are responsible only for your own acts. If the other fellow takes chances, let him. . But if you, now that the heavy driving season is at hand, will do some common sense thinking, if you will let your sense of fair play govern your driving this season, if you never forget that by driving, safely you can help to protect the life and property of every citizen of Ontario, then this department will have a different, happier story to tell a year hence.
