previous Monday in a critical condi
tion with a skull fracture. The fatal

feet to the -concrete floor of the In-,
ternatio'nal Nickel Company power
house. The funeral was held on Sat

Mr. West is 'an Ashfield . born
young many~a sori of Mrs. Maj*y
West and .the late Mr. West,
whose‘farm home Is” on the Lochalsh

PUBLIC INFORMATION
. ' RE. GERMAN - MEASLES
There have been inquiries regard
ing this ailment from a number of
parents. German Measles is, quite un
like ordinary measles. The regula
tions of the ‘Provincial Department
of Health do not require placarding
of the patient, nor is there any quar
antine of those/who have been in
contact with\,the patient.- On .the ap-
nearance of the ra§h the patient
should!.be kept by himself for eight
days. .
. The reason why there is no quar
antine is not far to seek. It is a
relatively'"'^ only a
small -percentage of those exposed
fo the Infection develop it. .Moreover
it, takes about eighteen days .to de
velop and a quarantine to be effec
tive would have to be one of three
weeks. Also, wheri the rash appears
the patient usually can no longer
give, if to anyone else. T/he infective
^sfage. is a. few days before the ap
pearance of the rash. Children un-'
der four 'years of age very rarely
get> it. .
The germ causing it is in the se
cretions of the nose and. throat so
the' best way to avoid spreading it.
in those suspected of. getting the
disease, is to have these secretions
collected on papers or cloths aiid
burned. Also, as stated above, child- '
ren developing ,it, must be kept at
home . for eight days. . • M.O.H .

SKIING MORE POPTJLAR
The recent organization of ski
clubs in both Kincardine and Walk
erton would indicate that this, sport
is becoming more popular, a popu
larity . which .seems to be slowly
growing here, but so far not to the
extent of organizing a club. Luck
now is fortunate in having natural
and ideal conditions to permit the
full enjoyment of the pastime.

SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUES
LOCAL MOTORISTS STRANDED
In. recient issues of the. Sentinel,
we have' made reference to the late
Dri Garnier. Last week we had oc
casion . to be going through a. num
ber of early issues of the Sentinel,
and in a copy of October 7th, 1881..
we rah across the following item: .
“Two .pigs, the property Of Mr. D.
Campbell, wandered into Dr. Garn
ier’s garden on Sunday last and
were busily engaged helping, them
selves to the good things therein,
when the Dr. appeared on the scene
with a double-barrelled . shotgun, the
contents of which he lodged in their
carcasses,' killing them instantly.”
A local resident, who recalls the
incident, tells that the Doctor dragg
ed the pigs onto the road-and left
them, there.' With their inards badly
mangldd, and 'in the summer heat
at that time the animals soon be
came a nuisance and village author-
the1
the
the
ities had to take action to force
doctor to have ‘ them removed,
proceedings in the case costing
Doctor considerable.
ROOF CRASHES iSl ” „
UNITER WEIGHT OF SNOW
An unusually heavy load of snow
was responsible for extensive dam
age . to the < ba tn owned by Mr. Wm.
McKenzie, which adjoins- the Pres
byterian Church. About two o’clock
last Thursday afternoon, without
warning, part of the. sidewall of the
barn crashed out and down went the
roof and part of the end of the barn
which tumbled inward.
The barn is a substantial structure
of dement construction to the eaves.
There was no livestock stabled in
the barn at the .time of the crash.
Repairs we understand, are com
mencing this week, vvhich will, en
tail considerable wdrk, as about hal f
pf the side wall is smashed out, and
the roof a total wreck. .
As the ward spread around, shov
els were employed on many roofs
in the village to Unburden- them of
a load \ofi snow. Several men took a
hand in shovelling of the roof of

bered 13,337 and that estimated ex
penditures for 1936 are\ roughly,
$6'28.00. The Board asked ' the-Coun

The report in part is as follows;;
At the. insistence of the Inspector

were complied with., the Board in
stalled a new. card, shelflist system.
This entailed considerable more ex
pense than, was at first anticipated.
A qualified librarian, Mis3 Boes, was
