Garrett in the London Free Press F'ullarton Village, the “capital" ol’ Fullarton Township, located in the heart of the municipality, .about six miles south of the Town of Mit­ chell, and Ibeautifully situated in the valley of the Thames River, close to the mouth of the Black Creek, prospered as a pioneer in­ dustrial hamlet 'and, in spite of pres­ ent-day depressions and adverses, carries on with a spirit worthy of the larger Perth County centres. The curtain was first raised on the Fullarton Village, early in 1843, When the Woodleys settled in the vicinity and were followed by the Bakers, later in the same year, Jas. Woodley is credited with the actual founding of the hamlet, in 1'8153, and it was originally known as Bum­ mervale. In 18’54 he applied for and obtained a post office, with John Buchan, a iScotchman, as postmas­ ter. The latter opened the first general store and a 'hotel was built in 1855. One authority claims that the hamlet wias named .Summervale by the Woodleys, when its foundations were first laid, and that this name was changed to Fullerton Corners by the postal authorities, when the post office was opened. A more sub­ stantial theory is that when it was decided that the point should be selected as the seat of municipal go­ vernment, James Woodley induced William Rath, of Mitchell, to make a survey in 1854, and draw a plan of the village plot which was later registered as Summervale. lAt any rate, the village became known as Fullarton Corners, named after the municipality which again was named in .compliment to John Fullarton, one of the original di­ rectors of the Canada Land Com­ pany. In more recent times, it has become known as Fullarton Village. The place had made much pro­ gress by the turn of the century. The township hall, a large school with two teachers, two fine churches doctor’s office, harness shop, cheese factory, sawmill with which was in­ corporated a chopping mill and el­ der manufactory, and a number of substantial residences gave the vil­ lage quite an imposing appearance. The milling enterprise often em­ ployed from eight to 10 men and more in rush season. It was near the conjunction of tihe Thames River and .Black Creek that some of the first settlers locat­ ed and here John Gettler, a native of Alsace-Lorraine, also made a settlement. He erected a sawmill and in it much of the first lumber used in the township was sawed. Tihe Gettlers eventually demolished the structure and built a new one in near-by Fullarton Village. .$61,000 GIFT \ TO WAR EFFORT1 The Finance Department has re­ ceived a single donation of $61,000 - the sum by which the donor’s in­ come war tax was reduced after de­ ductions for contributions to char­ itable purposes were allowed. It came from a “Canadian of substan­ tial means who wishes to remain anonymous.” Bilious Attacks Liver Complaint Biliousness is just another name for a clogged or sluggish liver. It in a very common complaint, but can be quickly remedied by Stimulating the flow of bile. Ibis softens the accumulated mass, the poisons are carried out of the system, and the liver and bowels are relieved and toned up. Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken and enliven the sluggish liver, open­ ing Up every channel, by causing a free flow of bile and thus cleansing the liver of the clogging impurities. They are small and easy io take. Do not gripe, weaken or sicken. Th* I. Milburn 00.. Ltd- Toronto. Ont.

McFalls reading the Scrip­ ture Lesson from John 15: 1-14. “I am the vine ye are the (branches.” The brancnes depend on the vine for strength, growth and life so a J Christian must depend on Christ. A separated .’branch dies and if we are severed from God then we will die. Let us dedicate ourselves anew, until we are filled with power so that we bear much fruit. Mrs. W. Skinner then led in prayer. A Pageant >by thirteen members of the Mission Circle entitled “No Other Plan” this being written by Mrs. Childs, of London, Dean of the School of Leaders, St. Thomas. God has planned that we have no other plans, to interfere with our ch'urch and missionary work, we must not fail. Each one took, their part in a very able manner, and will be a living monument to our Circles and shows the importance of Mission Circles in the work of our Society. A quintette from the Chiselhurst Auxiliary “|Are We Working” was much enjoyed. Dr. Margaret Forster, .Missionary on furlough from Honan, China, was the -guest speaker. She was one of the very last missionaries to leave Honan after the territory was over-run by Japanese. The hospital at Honan In which Dr. Forster serv­ ed is located at Wei’hwei and of thirty British - sponsored hospitals in China it is now the Only one still in operation. (She told harrowing tales Of the many wounded soldiers being brought to the hospital for treatment - their wounds caused by shrapnel from exploding bombs - this shrapnel was made in Canada. The spirit of the Christian Chin­ ese and their attitude toward their enemies is so wonderful. They are looking forward to a new day and are planning and building for it. They are turning more to educa­ tion and religion and never before were there so many people, asking for baptism. 'Miss Jean Murray, of Hensail, gave a very stirring Temperance address and brought in the following reso­ lution; “We, the Women’s Auxiliary Society of the United Church met in Roys United Church, Huron County, October 10th, 1940, .unanimously resolve that,— Whereas our Empire is now fac­ ing the greatest crisis in its 'history, and the fate of our civilization is dependent upon the outcome of this struggle, and that the utmost ef­ ficiency is necessary for the persecu­ tion of this struggle and that Whereas the use of alcoholic bev­ erages1 impairs such complete effic­ iency and diverts to wasteful and injurious purposes, foodstuffs im­ perative to the sustenance of human life and lowers the moral and phy­ sical stamina of our soldiers. We do humbly petition the gov­ ernment to enact immediately total prohibition for the duration of the war.” It was moved that this resolution as read by Miss Murray be signed iby the President and Secretary and sent to .Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Min­ ister of National War 'Services, at Ottawa. 'Carried. Mrs. J. Ferguson, Chiselhurst was appointed to act on the nomin­ ating committee: Mrs. R. Batten of Elimville for the Finance commit­ tee and Mrs. (Rev.) 'Chandler, of Kippen to Ibe tihe delegate from this Section to the London Conference Branch. IMrs. Chandler, convenor of the Courtesy and .Resolution Commit­ tee presented a very comprehensive resolution of thanks in which no one was forgotten. Resolved that we renew our consecration and each one take her part seriously knowing that only thus can our work go forward. The closing words were given by our President, Mrs. McKenzie, of Seaforth, who stated it takes $700,- 000 a year to carry on our Mission­ ary work, we have 350 missionar­ ies, $1.40 a minute keeps all our work going. The deficit of last year means the loss of 5,720 min; utes of work. After singing “God Loves the World, Do You?” the vice-president closed the conference with the bene­ diction. HON. JAMES G.

I Soldiers’ Letters The Soldiers’ Welfare Committee, a branch of the Exeter and District War Time Committee, has received i several more letters from the en­ listed men and following are quota­ tions from the letters: Ted Wethey writing on August l lgth says: “Just a few lines to thank you for the box. I received it a week ago. We are in a woods eight miles from tihe nearest town along the southeast English coast. It is quite lonely here so you can see a parcel from home would be ap­ preciated to the fullest. I must tell you about the socks. They were a little too long, so a farmer’s wife, who lives down the road from our tent, shortened them and made me a pair of wristlets out of the tops, so I have two gifts instead of one. The candy and gum I shared, with by tentmate, and the shaving cream I am just going to start to use. Thank you again.” On September 3rd J, McAllister and C. Carty in a joint letter said— “We thank you for the lovely sweat­ er and socks. We think they are well done, even if we do not know much about it. They sure will come in handy in the cool weather. They make us think of the good times we had in Exeter. Thanks a lot for everything and best wishes in your work.” Mrs. Chris. Fischer Jr., of Dash­ wood on September 2nd wrote— “Thank you for the lovely parcels sent my sons, Alvin and Ervin re­ ceived. They sure appreciated them. They were .home for the week-end, but are in Camp Borden now.” Capt. Bruce Medd, writing from Petawawa on August 30 th, says-—• “Your parcel arrived before we moved from Kingston. Will you please convey my thanks to the committee for the sweater and socks I appreciate it very much when my home town thinks of me after a number of years away. I have not forgotten you in Exeter either.” Flight Lieut. N. >S. Anderson on September 11th wrote from Ottawa, —“Thanks to the Committee for the lovely gift of sweater and socks. They will be very useful and I ap­ preciate the sentiment in their be­ ing sent to me. I always consider Exeter my home town, and hope to be back soon on a short visit.”. Lloyd G. Bell on .Sept. 10 said in .his letter,—“I appreciate the gift of socks and sweater. I am stationed, away up here on the north west coast 'Of Vancouver Island. It seems a terribly long way from civiliza­ tion. But duty must be done and when one is spending the early morning hours in a lonesome power house with no company hut the grumbling diesel and control .board meters, it certainly .is a comfort to have warm feet and something to keep the body warm, and to know that these very things are provided by the people at home who are doing their hit to show their par spirit, anti to express it by such ’practical gifts. They make my thoughts travel back over the 3760 miles and we feel inspired to do our utmost to protect those things we hold most dear.” .Stanley Gill, of Grand Bend, writ­ ing on September 17 th from Van­ couver .Island, says.—“Kindly con­ vey to the members of your .organ­ ization my sincere thanks for the lovely sweater and socks you sent me. I am hoping I may be able to thank you in person in the near future.” E. Lome Howey writes from Ot­ tawa on September 2,—“I want to thank you and your organization for the sweater and socks you so generously gave me. The sweater Is especially appreciated at nights up here when we are on guard duty. There is a damp wind which comes up the Ottawa River and the sweat­ er under my tunic makes the dif­ ference between shivering and com­ fort. Thanks again and wishing your organization every success.” Pte. “Red” Hunter writing from Somewhere in England oil August 3rd says: “I am sorry for not writ­ ing ‘before, but I just haven’t had time to do it. But I wish to send my sincere thanks to the ladies who are remembering us boys over here. Somehow we do not get much time to write as Old Jerry keeps coming over and bothering us. Just three times so far today, and likely a couple of times tonight, but he does not seem to be doing much damage in our neighborhood. I’ll have to close now as he has come over again.” Gapt. Dr. Glair Misener, who is at Valcartier Camp, • Quebec, on Sept. 29th wrote,—“Just a note to the War Time Committee to thank you for the sweater and sophs. They certainly add greatly to my comfort The camp here is quite constructed and we are fairly comfortable — they are. adding 1,300 additional huts as time allows. As compensa­ tion for giving up my former asso­ ciations and my family I am partic­ ularly fortunate in being with such a fine group of men as my fellow officers, but it is only a partial compensation.” Percy Atkinson, of the Air Force St. Thomas, writes: “Just a note to thank the Exeter District War Time committee very much indeed for the sweater and the socks. They, will certainly be very useful.” GRANTON RED (ROSS UNIT HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Gran­ ton unit of the Lucan Red Cross was held with the president, Rev. L. C.

It became illegal to use the old 80 and 90 pound potato sacks. Standard potatos -by weights are now 100 pounds, 75 pounds, 50 pounds, i25 pounds and 15 pounds. When potatoes are packed in paper bags in retail stores for sale con­ veniences, they should be packed in multiples of 5 pounds, that is to say, 5, 10, or 15 pounds. All potato bags must be properly marked to indicate -the name and address of the packed, the proper designation of the grade, and the net weight when packed. The Marking Regulations contain a new stipulation to the effect that tags attached o potato bags, or to branded potato bags, must include the words “Table Potatoes.” This procedure was found necessary in order to prevent the sale of table potatoes as seed, potatoes, and to establish the fact that potatoes grown and packed as table stock must not be sold as certified seed potatoes. The 1939 regulations also include a standard potato crate. This crate is commonly called’ the Argentine Crate and was1 standardized with the dimensions 28 inches x 14 and a half inches x 14 and a half inches with a centre partition three-quar­ ters of an inch thick for the export trade of certified seed potatoes, principally to the Argentine. How­ ever this package has became pop­ ular and is now used in other chan­ nels of trade.

L. Marsh, writing in Health, the official or­ gan of the Health League of Can­ ada. Such disfigurements, h e says, are as likely to be the re­ sults of defective teeth as they are of ’advancing age. Dr. Marsh also refutes the delu­ sion that a child’s teeth are of little importance since they won’t last long. On the contrary, he asserts, they should be looked upon as the foundations for the permanent teeth. Unless they are maintained in the mouth in a healthy condition for the proper length of time, he says, the lower two thirds of the face fails to develop f'U'lly and sym­ metrically and the whole appear­ ance of the face may be spoiled. More than this, he asserts, den­ tal infections progress more rapid­ ly in the teeth of children than in those of adults, and he recommends that cildren’s teeth should be exam­ ined at least three times a year from three years of age to adol­ escence. Regarding the general care of the teeth, Dr. Marsh urges through mastication of fibrous foods such 1 as celery and raw apples. Gum tis- ; sues need exercise no less than muscles, he states, and also the chewing of fibrous foods is about the best way possible to polish those surfaces of the teeth that lie toward the tongue. Diet has much to do with the health of the teeth, says Dr. Marsh. At least a pint of milk a day should be drunk, and .meals should include one egg a day, some fresh fruit and vegetables, while sticky, starchy carbohydrates should be reduced to a minimum. In winter months, when sunbaths are impossible, cod- liver oil should be taken in order to supply the necessary vitamin D. Starchy foods, says Dr. Marsh is likely to form pasty masses in parts of the teeth which are hard to clean, and this in turn serves to accelerate dental decay. Neglected teeth are the source of deep-rooted troubles, Dr. Marsh warns. Infected roots and pyorrhea pockets may harbor millions of bac­ teria. These, as well as destroy­ ing the normal tissue with which they are in. contact, produce poisons which may be absorbed through the walls of the thin blood vessels which surround the infected areas and thus pollute the blood stream; lowering the general vitality and opening the way for serious disease, j J* heats CANADIAN POULTRY An order for Canadian Record of Performance poultry breeding stock has just been received from South Africa. The order is for two cockerels and six pullets, The prices paid are considered very satisfac­ tory, being $25 each for the cock­ erels and $15 each for the pullets, f.o.b., point of shipment. This order follows negotiations carried on by the Production .Ser­ vice, Dominion Department of Ag­ riculture and follows several sim­ ilar orders received in the last two years from British Guiana and Trinidad. The fame of Canadian Record of Performance poultry has during the past few years, spread to several countries and it is recognized that under the system of breeding poul­ try for greatly increased egg pro­ duction and more suitable market meat type from valuable sources of foundation breeding stock have been established in all provinces of Canada. The Director of Agriculture for British Guiana visited Ottawa re­ cently and said he was greatly pleased in regard to the quality and egg production of several pens of Canadian R.O.P. breeding stock which had been shipped to the De­ partment of Agriculture in British Guiana in the last two years. He reported that the birds had aver­ aged 75 per cent, production since their arrival, even in the period that they were becoming acclima­ tized to tropical conditions, which are decidedly different from the Canadian climate in which they had been reared. For years past, large numbers of Canadian R.O.P. breeding stock have been exported to the United States where comm erica! breeders and hatcherymen have long recog­ nized its value in increasing the quality of their breeding flocks.
