A, M> POWELL, President “THERE’LL ALWAYS BE A HENSALL” Following is the parody on the ball team, composed by Mrs. Tudor and sung by Mr. W, O. Goodwin at the baseball banquet in Hensall re­ cently. There’ll always be a Hensall tor they are on the map, And to our Hensall baseball nine we politely doff our cap. First up is our Brown Bomber, he sure can swat that pill, Then kicks those heels and runs like heck, we laugh till we are ill. Then up comes Shortstop Stade, he too can clout that ball. He is the Home-run King, you know but once we saw him fall. Then next is Firstbase Willie, he surely is a hummer, He takes a swing and wham! it sails, he nevei’ needs a runner. And don’t forget our Johnny, the baby of the nine, He sure can steal, but can he hit? Well seldom twice in line! And then there is our battery, Boe, Carter and Lochinvar three. And when they’re in there on their toes, they fan them one-two- three. Then way we go to outfield, Hank ■Greenberg was the star, He saved the day in Waterloo, he surely did by Gar! Then, Lennie, Max and Eddie, they play the game so neat, And when they’re chasing those fly balls, no grass grows ’neath their feet; And don’t forget our mascot, to you he’s Fakir Joe, He spends his cash on hat pools, but he’s seldom in the dough. And lastly comes our manager, he paces up and down, But when they miss that ball and muff, oh boy, how he can frown! Yet, when they knock a homer, his face is one grand smile, The boys all say if ’twould stay that way their life would be worthwhile. But hats off to our Stanley, he gives what time he can, And when they only play the game, he doesn’t give a hang. So thus my story endeth, ’tis really all in fun. And if you’ll just excuse me, I’ll say good-night and run. For there’ll always be a Hensall, as long as we can see, For Hensall means as much to you, as Hensall means to me. THOS.

Painful Boils Bad Blood the Cause When boils start to break out’on different parts of the body it is an evidence that the blood is loaded up with impurities. Just when you think you are rid of one, another crops up to take its place and prolong your misery. All the lancing and poulticing you may do will not stop more coming. Why not give that old, reliable, blood. purifying medicine ^Burdock Blood Bitters a Chance to banish the boils? Thousands have used it for this purpose during the past 60 years. Take B.B.B. and get rid of the bad blood and the boils too. true T. Milburn (jo., Ltd., Taranto, OM.

The tremor seemed to follow a dull boom as of a heavy explosion in the distance. Residents who were awake thought it was a blast somewhere near by. Those who were iu their bods were awakened and were mystified by the disturb­ ance. Reports were that the earth shock was felt as far away as Exeter 15 miles east of Grand Bend, and down the lake shore several miles and in the Dashwood area. The possibility that the local earth tremor was the result of a meteorite hitting the ground some­ where in the vicinity was consider­ ed. The theory of a heavy explo­ sion was discounted when a check­ up of the district showed no blast­ ing was in progress and there was no explosion known to have taken place. Residents were asking their neighbors if they had felt the earth­ quake, and most of them had no­ ticed it or been awakened rudely by its tremble. Local citizens said the quake fol- ‘Tk&ut ienodtfieA. tofacco JUST LIKE OLD CHUM lowed what seemed like a dull thud that shook the ground and all hous­ es for just a few seconds. There was no repetition of the tremor. Dr. H. R. Kingston, head of the astronomy department of the Uni­ versity of Western Ontario, said when advised of the earth tremor in the Grand Bend district that only a large meteorite striking the ground would cause a shock as of an earthquake, A smaller meteorite would not strike with sufficient force to cause the ground to shake, he be­ lieved. He did believe that the striking of a1 meteorite would sound like an explosion but likely would be accompanied by concussion or rushing of air. The possibility of the collapse of some underground cavern in the stratified rocks such as exist in the peculiar rocky shale formation at near-by Kettle Point was also ad- j vanced as a possible cause. In this case the shock might be local in its effect but fairly violent for a mo­ ment nearby. No record of any earth distur­ bance has been received by the university officials. DEATH OF MRS.

At this season we are particularly reminded of the debt we owe to those whose service and sacrifice make it possible for us to enjoy our Christmas midst the carefree happiness of children and fond parents ... those valiant men who patrol the skies, man the ships, stand by the guns, and place their all — even unto life itself, between us and the enemy. How can we pay our debt to them? The least we can do is to Save every dollar that we can and lend it to Canada, so that Canada can provide everything in munitions and equipment to fortify these men for the defence of our country and our civilization. Our savings should be invested in War Savings Certificates, and we should continue to save and invest in War Savings Certificates until Victory is won. The widow’s mite counts as much as the more fortunate ones’ plenty, as evidence of service, sacrifice and determination. So then, whatever else you do at this Christmas season, save and invest in War Savings Certificates. The very consciousness of your service in the Defence of your homeland will make greater your personal enjoyment of Christmas. W. H. Somerville and de Ga»p6 Beaubien, Join!
