County Backs
Pinery Plan
Middlesex County' Council last
week placed its support behind ef
forts to have the Pinery Area
along Lake Huron, south of
Grand Bend developed as a pub
lic recreation area.
Support for creating a park of
the lakefront, presently owned
by the Canada Land Company,
has been growing since initiated
some months ago by London
Chamber of Commerce.
; Power to develop this area
. lies with the Ausable Conserva
tion Authority.
Reeve Donald Waters? of Park
hill, who moved county council's
backing, said it would be a great
loss to the public if it were kept
from the beach.
■ The more support given by | municipalities Reeve Waters said
j the more weight the project
j would have with federal and pro-
jvincial governments, which he
i said would have to finance it.
I Reeve David Morley, McGilliv
ray Township, said the Pinery
would make, “an ideal recrea
tion area.”
j Two thoroughly lushed men
were driving like mad in an
automobile. “Shay,” one fumbl
ed his words, “be sure to turn
out for that bridge that’s cornin’
down the road toward us.”
“What do you mean, me turn
out?”, the other retorted. “I
thought you were drivin’.”
It’s a
GREAT SATISFACTION!
To put a sum of money away regularly
each pay day, no matter how small,
gives you a feeling of security. It’s a
great satisfaction to know that, even in
these days of high costs, you are at least
trying to put a little aside to meet
emergencies.

Dr. Johns Tells Of experiences
With UN In Northern Greece
The filth and poverty in the
mountain villages of Northern
Greece is beyond all belief in the
opinion of Dr. E. E. Johns who
has just returned from, a tour
of that country.
A well-known local dental ex
pert, Dr. Johns spent seven weeks
in the towering mountain coun
try of Northern Greece along
with a representative of the
Greek Ministry of Health, and
Dr. Robert E. Moyers, head of
the department of Orthodontics
at the University of Toronto.
The trip was sponsored by the
ITnited States National Research
Council with the intention of
finding out how well food ship
ments by the United Nations Re
lief and Rehabilitation Associa
tion were reaching the out-of-the-
way northern villages. In addi
tion, Dr. Johns and Dr. Moyers
found time to examine some 1,-
200 children between the ages,
of three and six for dental de
fects.
Filthy Living Conditions
“I was simply amazed at the
filthy living conditions which
still prevail in most of the vil
lages,” Dr. Johns said in an in
terview. “Why, one out of every
three children born there dies be
fore the age of three as a result
of dysentery, food poisoning and
lack of proper sanitation.
“The main trouble, of course,
is that the people allow their
animals to live with them in
their homes. The houses are us
ually two-storey affairs with the
family sleeping on the second
floor and the animals—pigs,
goats and mules—using the low
er floor.
“Naturally this leaves plenty
to be desired from a sanitary
,” Dr. Johns said. "Chil-
usually covered with
; and skin diseases are

I children had tremendous cavities | in their teeth and it wasn't at
i all surprising to find some with as
|many as 50 or 60. Only three he
examined had ever had any den-
; tai work done on them and none
jof the children had ever seen a
toothbrush.
Photograph Rare Pictures
On their return trip, Dr.
Johns and Dr, Moyers stopped
off for a brief visit at one of the
famous Greek monasteries in the
mountainous north’ country. Here
the monks allowed them the rare
privilege of taking pictures of
their most priceless possessions
dating back hundreds of years.
It is believed this is the first
time outsiders have been allow
ed to photograph these works of
art and the pictures are going to
I be displayed in a future issue of
ithe National Geographic
I zine.
I Dr. Johns was born in
| and spent the first five y<
this life there before his
Dr. A. Johns of Usborne
ship, now of Hamilton, who was
a missionary, returned to Cana
da. He received his lower school
j education in Hamilton and then
entered the University of Tor
onto. He took a post-graduate
course at both Varsity and Colu
mbia University. He is now con
nected with the department
orthodontics of the University
Toronto besides taking care
his practice in Toronto.

I W. E. McCartney, managing

of the Canadian Weekly News-

that weekly newspapers are “the
last frontier of the free press ‘and free enterprise.”

Using figures obtained from
the Dominion Bureau of Statis

Canadian standard of living im
proved since 1939.
“With a basis of 100 in 1939,
the basic wage index of 1937
was 9(T.7. On the same basis, the

Dr. Johns said the food situa
tion in the villages was also very
grim, mainly because the people
didn’t have any means of trans
porting it from the low-lying
plains further south. This state
of affairs blamed partly on the
Communists who occupied the
northern part of the country
shortly after the Second World
War.

however, only every third fam- I

many of them for use by their i

Food Situation Grim !Dr. Johns said, the average vil-1

more in the way of food than a

It’s a pleasure to drive your car, when
it’s running perfectly. Cars are like
people — they need attention to “do
their stuff” as they should. Nothing
makes a car behave better than regular
attention at a "SUPERTEST" Station.
"SUPERTEST" dealers are always glad
to see you drive in for free and
friendly service.
"SUPERTEST" dealers are independent
business men working in and for
their own communities — it’s a
pleasure to do business with them.
