Not to Mme Not to mine this thing with the long scientific name, poliomyelitis, this thing that means misery and pain in the language of the little ones. Please God! Not to mine! And let me help those to whom it does come, this crippier, this destroyer. Let me give to help the helpless.' Let my dollars and my prayers go with these little ones that some day, some time, children everywhere will walk without fear, free of childhood’s greatest enemy, Poliomyelitis. One quite Lane”, houses lector of animals—-not live ones, of course —- for they n umber several hundred in all. On the corner, in the home of Mrs. Allen Fraser, you will find elephants of every size and color, about 175 in all. Of these, 100 are assembled on shelves, the others are scattered throughout the house, some being used to hold ivy and other plants. They are made of pottery, glass, metal, wood and one large stuffed one was made by an Exeter friend. Mrs. Fraser bought the first elephant at Wasaga Beach as a souvenir of holiday spent there. Others were bought later for the same reason, and friends have added to the collection until they represent Canadian cities from Victoria B’.C, to Sydney N.S. and many ,U-S- cities and Mexico. Mr. Fraser served overseas during World War Two and he brought back elephants from England, Scotland, France, Belgium and Holland. The largest one in the collec­ tion is from St. John, N.B. Iv measures fifteen inches ,in height. It was quite badly broken when it arrived here, but Mrs. Fraser did such a good job of ‘‘Plaster surgery” using adhesive tape and plaster of Paris that One can hardly detect the broken parts. Another one with an unusual story was picked up from the ground by Mrs. Fraser as slio climbed Tunnel Mountain Banff several years ago. It weather-beaten and its trunk missing but it is interesting reason of its origin. Elephants have long been good luck symbol. Some they only bring good luck if they face the east. Mrs. Fraser’s elephants face in every direction as she is not superstitious. Next door to Mrs. Fraser, lives Miss Vera Rowe, who has a col­ lection of dogs which numbeis over two hundred. She started her collection as souvenirs of trips and holidays. They now rep­ resent cities in each Canadian province, many U.S. cities also England, Scotland, Ireland, Aus­ tralia, South America, South Africa and India. The smallest dog measures one-half inch and the largest is ten inches in height. One of the largest was brought from England by Miss Rowe’s nephew, who served in the R.C.A.F. During the World’s Fair in New York, Miss Rowe and a friend were walking on Broad­ way when they noticed a side- w a 1 k salesman demonstrating mechanical walking dogs. Miss Rowe’s friend bought for her {the very one that had been walk- ing on the ‘sidewalks of New York.’ Another very interesting one is a quaint little china dog carrying a basket of flowers in his mouth. It was brought from England by Miss Rowe’s grand­ mother, nearly 90 years ago. In the third house in the block lives Mrs. Everette Steiner whose hobby is collecting horses. She bought the first one in Chat­ ham in 194 0 while attending a veterinary meeting with her hus­ band. Horses seemed to be such fitting souvenirs of such occa­ sions that the collection began to grow until .it now numbers nearly a hundred. The animals range in size from one-half inch to 12 inches in height, the larg­ est one coming from Mexico. Friends and relatives have added horses from many parts of Can­ ada and the U.S. Mrs. Steiner has ceased being embarrassed when a friend, remarks; “Oh, I saw a horse and it made me think of you/’ ’One horse called “the laughing nag” was acquired at Niagara Falls, N.Y., as the Steiner family browsed through a souvenir shop. When returning to Canada they were asked by the -customs officer if any purchases had been made in the U.S. Dr. Steiner produced “the nag” and .with it under liis arm went into the of­ fice to fill out the necessary papers to permit the .two-dollar beast to enter Canada, Before the details were completed, tire horse wag not the only one laughing. Hoople looking over the col­ lections sometimes remark, “Oh yes they are nice but I wouldn’t like the job of dusting them.” Mrs. Steiner says this reminds her of the story of a little girl who was trudging along carry­ ing a younger child. Someone asked. "Isn’t he too heavy for you?” To which the little girl replied, “Why he isn’t heavy, lie’s my brother.” So it is with collections, the extra dusting isn’t heavy, it’s your hobby.
