The morn­ ing following the fire he wired his father that he was O.K. The fire took place during a cold night and the men had to tumble out of bed and grab what they could and get out into the open. Few of them saved their belongings. Dense smoke filled their building and the fire spread rapidly. PLOWING JAN. 4th Unusual weather’conditions were evidenced by the fact that on Jan­ uary 4th Mr. R.

JUDGE COSTELLO ADDRESSES LIONS CLUB Judge Costello, of Goderich, was the guest speaker at the * Exeter Lions club supper meeting at the Central Hotel Monday evening. He spoke on ‘‘Wills’’ and stated that the making of a will was a perscrip- tion for lengthening a man’s life. There are one or two cardinal things to remember -and one is that a witness to a will cannot be a bene­ ficiary. Another is that the execu­ tors should be familiar with the es­ tate and in a position to make the most of' it. It is only with a will that a man may distribute his es­ tate as he wishes. The Judge was introduced by Barrister James Mor­ ley. After speaking along the line of the importance of a will Judge Costello entertained his hearers with a number of stories that were well told and created much amuse­ ment. lHe was roundly applauded. Lion J. A. Traquair reported that the Lions clubs of Huron .had pur­ chased band instruments for the R.A.F. at Port Albert, at a cost of $600, the share of the Exeter club being $100. In return for this a 12-piece orchestra from the R.A.F. will provide the music for a dance to be given in the Exeter Arena on Valentine night. Dances are likewise being held for the oth­ er clubs. The next meeting of the club will be held on Friday, Feb. 2'0th, it being the anniversary of the club. The ladies will be en­ tertained and the District Deputy Governor will be present.

Stanbury in Charge of Blood Transfusions , Eldest son of His Honor, Judge J, G. B, Stanbury of St. Cartharines, and former Fxeter boy, Dr. W. B» Stanbury, Is serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps, England, and is in charge of blood transfusion services of an area populated by four million persons. Dr. Stanbury was director of the laboratory .at Mountain Sanator­ ium, Hamilton, and in October, 19 3-9, left that position to become senior lecturer at the clinical path­ ology at the Uniyersity of Deeds, England, He was transferred to the R.A.M.C, shortly after the out­ break of the war. In a letter to W. H. Lovering of . the Hamilton Red Cross Society Dr. Stanbury asked whether the society would consider the donation of a Seitz filter, which is unobtainable • in England, and which is urgently needed for his- duties. Removes Bacteria The Seitz filter is a device for re­ moving bacteria from solutions and although such a filter has never been used in Canada for removing contamination from blood serum, it appears .that Dr. Stanbury intends ■to use it for that purpose. Norman Evans, president of the Hamilton Branch of the Red Cross Society is considering means of providing such a filter as Dr. Stan­ bury is seeking. It is significant observed Mr. -Evans, that the doctor intends to use a filter much larger than the size usually employed. He has asked for a i'O-inch model and the filter in the Hamilton Sanitar­ ium is only three-inch. Twenty-five per cent of casualties * admitted to British hospitals re­ quire blood transfusions, according to reports from the old country.— Hamilton Spectator, REEVE JOSE RE-ELECTED IN^LANSHARD Dr. G.
