General Manager An epidemic of infantile paralysis has continued unchecked in central, western and southern Ontario with isolated cases in the eastern and northern sections of the Province The number of cases totalled 244 early in the week, almost half of them in the Toronto area. There have been 13 deaths. But as health authorities confer­ red on measure to fight the spread of the disease, it was stressed the present epidemic did not approach the severity of those in 1929 and 1930. In 1929 there were 588 eases and 46 deaths from poliomyelitis with 671 cases and 61 deaths the following year. Provincial Government health of­ ficers were co-operating with muni­ cipal officers. Some municipalities considered postponement of the scheduled Sept, 1st reopening of the schools. Citizens were advised to avoid crowds and some centres clos­ ed children’s wading pools. All the swimming pools in London were or­ dered closed on Saturday. Facts for the Public The following facts about infan­ tile paralysis and precautions to prevent spread of the disease were released in the bulletin issued by the department of health, London, as the result of collaboration with a committee especially appointed from the London Academy of Medicine. To the Public: Do not alloxv children to mix in crowds, especially where there are many other children. It is thought a great many people have the di­ sease, but show’ no apparent signs of it. Through these people the con­ dition is spread. If your child complains of head­ ache, fever, stiff neck, sore or stiff back, vomiting, red throat, maybe diarrhoea or constipation—send for your own physician at once, keep the child in bed and prevent other members of the family from coming in contact with patient. Recently a spray has been recom­ mended for the prevention of the di­ sease. It is of use only when ad­ ministered by a physician. As the use of this spray is largely in the experimental stage, no definite claims can be made for it. Use of Serum A great deal of false information has been spread regarding the use of serum in the treatment of this di­ sease. It is the consensus of opin­ ion among Canadian physicians that it has a definite value in many cases if given in the early stages of the disease. It is not, however, by any means a cure-all in this disease. In regard to the question of diagnosis it is w’ell for the public to know that probably only in about one-half of the total cases are there any definite signs that would lead the physicians to think of infantile paralysis. The other half mJfeht only show such indications as a slight bilious attack, or a sore throat, or possibly there might be no warning at all until the outset of parlysis. All suspects with definite signs- should have an immediate lumbar puncture. That is, an examination of the cerebro-spinal fluid to assist the doctor in making a positive diag­ nosis. This is considered a safe procedure. Middle School Bedard, R., Eng. Comp. C., Eng. Lit. 2nd, Ane. Hist. 1st, Geom. 2nd, Phys. 1st. Campbell, Frances, Geom. C. Fleming, Veronica, Lit. C., Ane.

TRAVEL MADE HIM CONSTIPATED Salesman Says Kruschen Keeps Him HOn His Toes ”1 am a commercial traveller/' writes a correspondent, “and due to endless travelling by train and au­ tomobile I find that I become con­ stipated if I do not keep myself in­ ternally’ clean. Kruschen Salts is the only thing that will do this ef­ fectively and not interfere with my work. I take a large dose of Krus­ chen every Saturday night and on Sunday, when I have no work to do the Salts act on me. On week-days I take a small dose on rising. It is necessary that I be ‘on my toes’ all through the day, and this is the only way that it possibly can be done.”—V. L. Kruschen Salts is an excellent recipe for maintaining a condition of internal cleanliness. The numer­ ous salts in K’uschen stimulate your internal organs to smooth, regular action. Your inside is thus kept clear of . those impurities which, when allowed to accumulate, lower the whole tone of the system.

WARD, B.A. Vice Principal Phone 198 Principal ‘ A GOOD ADVERTISING MEDIUM More and more, says the Orillia News-Letter, merchants are swing­ ing away from the old-fashioned method of advertising through the distribution of bills to homes to newspaper advertising. It is not to be wondered at. When circulation is considered, newspaper advertising is much cheaper and outside of an­ nouncements of entertainments, sporting games or such, is a much better form of advertising, News­ papers are kept and .read, not thrown away as handbills delivered from house to house frequently are. Weekly newspapers offer the best advertising value, because the issues are kept for a week and generally referred to constantly. A Jittle girl came home from school and said—Daddy, my teach­ er told us the world is round, “That’s right, dear/’ said .the father, “Well, daddy, if the world is round,” she answered, “why do people say they go to the far cor­ ners of the earth?” WIFE OF EXETER ROY WORE HER WEDDING GOWN TO w SEE GOVERNOR-GENERAL Young Bride Meets Esteemed Visitor At Mission Post Near Arctic Circle FORT NORMAN, N.W.T., Aug. 18. —CP—A six-year-old domance this summer brought an Ontario girl to this wilderness post near the Arctic Circle and a governor-general brought her the chance to wear once more the wedding dress she wore as the bride of a young Anglican missionary. In June the stern-wheel steamer, ‘Distributer* grunting with its barges down the great Mackenzie water­ way, had as passenger Ivy May Law­ rence, of Gorrie, Ont. Down the gangplank came also Rt. Rev. H. A. Sovereign, Anglican Bishop of Atha­ basca and ashore stood Rev. Henry L. Jennings, graduate of Huron Theological College, University of ■Western Ontario, London. It was almost a year since Jen­ nings, a graduate in 1935, moved into the decrepit mission house with floors and crumbling wall paper to keep house for himself until he and his fiancee could complete their wed­ ding plans. On June 23 they stood before„the Bishop and were married. In 1931 they had met at Ripley, in Bruce County, Ont., where Jen- ings was working as a student in- charge of the parish. They became engaged and began saving for the day when they could establish a. home somewhere. Jennings graduat­ ed, was ordained the next year, vol­ unteered for the mission at Norman, a little post 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle, and sent for Ivy May. She spent eight days in Toronto selecting her wardrobe and was mar­ ried here in a white ankle-length dress and a w’hite off-the-face straw hat with a small veil. In that out­ fit, too, she appeared on shore when the ‘Distributor’ making the season’s second voyage, tied up, carrying Lord Tweedsmuir ana ills party and flying the vice-regal standard, The governor-general was touch­ ed by the appearance of the girl, just recovering from an illness, shook hands with her and inquired after her health. Mrs. Jennings said she was about to pack her dress, expecting never to wear it again, when she heard the vice-regal party was on its way down the river and decided to wear it once more in honor of the visit. Ed, Note—Mr. Jennings is an Ex­ eter boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jennings of town.

Recent letter from Miss Tom to her mother and sister reveal little .concern over the course -of events at Peiping.

Temperance Candidate for Huron-Bruce Riding Entering the nomination list as a last-minute “dark-horse” candidate on a temperance platform, W. Il- Logan, of Teeswateir, at a. conven­ tion in Wingham on Thursday, August 19th was chosen Conserva­ tive standard bearer for the Huron- Bruce provincial riding. Charles Robertson, Carlow, is the present Liberal member for this constit­ uency. Mayor John Hanna, Wing­ ham was runner-up in the balloting. Either he or W. Cecil Knox, of To­ ronto, had been considered a logical winner, until Mr. Logan entered the lists, basing his appeal on the ques­ tion of beer. “I am for restriction of liquor and all the beverage rooms which are springing up should be quashed. I am a ‘teetotler’ and feel that there should be a better control of liquor. If I am elected and with your support I will do my best to regain the riding of Huron-Bruce from Liberalisih,” <*aid Mr. Logan. From the start of vhe speech Mr. Logan, one of the most forceful on the list, took the' appeal of the crowd. In the finals of the voting Mayor John Hanna was a ■close irunner-up.
