If You're TIRED
All THE TIME
Everybody gets a bit run-down now and
then, tired-out, heavy-headed, and maybe
bothered by backaches. Perhaps nothing
seriously wrong, just a temporary toxic
condition caused by excess acids and
wastes, That’s the time to take Dodd’s
Kidney Pills- Dodd’s stimulate the kidneys,
aqd so help restore their normal action of
removing excess acids and Wastes. Then
you feel better, sleep better, work better.
Get Dodd's Kidney Pills now. Look for
the blue box with the red band at all
druggists, You can depend on Dodd's, 52

There has been a great official
silence in high places about the
storm pf red tape that almost
blew the name-plates
mailbox in Usborne
Government officials
anything to do with
cliued to get hard of hearing, qr
remember an urgent appoint
ment elsewhere, if anypne starts
asking questions about what dj<2
happen.
Usborpe mailboxes eajne in the
news a little less than a
ago, when the South Hprpp
lor Earmens ’‘
nounce that Usborne
first township in Ontario to have
every mailbox painted, and every
mailbox clearly marked with the
box'holder’s name. The mailbox
improvement project was taken
on by the Junior Farmers' or
ganization as a community ser
vice activity; the boys them
selves raised the money tp buy
metal signs, got some more
money from the township coun
cil and Federation, pf Agriculture
tp help pay the bills for paint
and materials, and then did all
the work themselves, painting
and signing more than 400 boxes.
To d.0 the job thoroughly, they
went across the road, pn every
boundary road, and did the
boxes that belonged to the farms
in the neighboring township.
The story was told in a feature
article in the newspaper,
again in one of the leading
publications.
Order Names Removed
The story that hasn't
told is that after the boys had
done their job, and smartened
up every mailbox in Usborne,
an order went out from the
Attorney - General’s department
in Toronto, to the provincial
police to get all the names off all
the mailboxes in Usborne. Local
detachments of the provincial
police had their orders on a Sat
urday, to go out the following
Monday and start calling on Us
borne farmers, to order the
names taken off the mailboxes.
What had happened, evidently
was that some chairborne official
of the Department of Highways
had decided that these name
plates on the Usborne mailboxes
could be considered, if one inter
preted the regulations that way,
to be against the policy of the
Department of Highways, which
undertakes to regulate the kind
of .sign that can be put beside
public roadways. From some
body's desk in tlie Department of
Highways at Toronto, a request
went to somebody’s desk in the
Attorney-General’s office in To
ronto, to have these Usborne
mailbox names removed from the
landscape. The order went out
accordingly, through provincial
police channels, and it was
probably the weekend that inter
vened, that the silly order wasn't
carried out.
Appeals To PM
A South Huron resident, whose
business takes him frequently to
Toronto, was able to get the ear
of the acting prime minister of
Ontario during the weekend, and
point out to him what a clash
of interests was impending. Un
less somebody stopped it, the On
tario government, through its
police force, was about to go out
and destroy the work which that
same Ontario government,
through its Department of Agri
culture, had encouraged the Jun
ior Farmers to do.
The jumble was intensified by
the fact that Hon;. George Dou-
cett, who was acting prime
minister at the time because
Premier Leslie Frost was away
to the Coronation, also hap
pened. that weekend to be Acting
Minister of Agriculture, as well
as Minister of Highways. It must
have been easy for him to see,
when he learned what was hap
pening, that it didn’t make much
sense for one of his departments
to be tearing down what the
other was building up.
