WOODS) Lucy's Readers Invited On A Trip To Japan By Letter Mrs, Morris Durham, Clinton, shared with Lucy and Carl a most interesting letter written from Naga­ saki, Japan, April 10 by her daughter, Miss Margaret Durham, who has been touring Japan in company with two friends. Lucy passes it on to her readers: “We are new at the most southern part of Japan .and, if is a little warmer, but still rainy and misty. From Kyoto we went to Nara where we spent two nights in two different Japanese style inns. It was quite interesting but 1 don’t think I could Jive that way for long. “We have to take our shoes off at the door, as we do in -many places, and are given slippers which are always too big for me. The meals are served in the room on a low table and we sit on cushions. “The usual meal is a great assortment of little bits and pieces, vegetables barely cooked and cold, fish — raw and cooked, and big bowls of rice, also a soup of some type and lots of green tea, “One night we had sukeyaki which was quite delicious. It is cooked on the table in a big copper dish placed on a charcoal pot. It is thin strips of beef, green vegetables, onions, bean curd, and some other unknown things cooked with sugar and soya sauce.“From Nara we took a train to Kobe and embark­ ed on a boat to travel through the Inland Sea, stopping off one night at Tokamatsu which is on one of the other islands. “We stayed at a youth hostel there which wasn’t very comfortable, so decided to book In at a western style hotel for our next night in Beppu. That is on the island of Kyushu, in the south. It turned out to be one of the most luxurious hotels I’ve ever stayed in, and our room had an area divided off in a Japanese style with a low table, etc. And as soon as we arrived we were served green tea and little cakes. “The hotel was high on a mountain side, so we had a magnificent view as well. There are lots of hot­ springs on this island and there was a huge room with numerous hot baths, all beautifully tiled, and lots of foliage about, huge tanks of tropical fish, etc. Then we took the train again and travelled across the 'island to Nagasaki, stopping at two places overnight en route. “It is ibeautiful scenery here, very mountainous, with little fields in terraces down the sides of the mountains. Another lovely spot where we stopped was high in the mountains in a national park and was very . much like Rotorua in New Zealand with steam coming out "of the ground and bubbling hot pools. We had a lovely old hotel there too, and it would have been nice to stay for several days, but too expensive for our budgets, although I think they are very reasonable by Western standards. “Today we arrived in Nagasaki and are in a youth hostel here. It is much nicer than the other one and costs about $1.35 including dinner. We have decided to eat breakfast elsewhere as having tried a Japanese breakfast previously, we definitely prefer a Western one. They serve soup, vegetables, rice, raw eggs and tea. “We shall go to Hiroshima tomorrow, then on to Kyoto again for a couple of days, and back to Tokyo. We can stay in YWCA’s in those places, and they charge $2.00 a night. The one in Kyoto has a Jap­ anese style bath. “In these baths one must first . scrub very thoroughly and rinse off, with a little dish of water, then step into the bath which is sometimes a wooden tank of about four cubic feet, or a huge tiled bathtub large enough to swim in. And the water is very hot indeed! It keeps you warm for quite some time which is a very good thing, as I find it very chilly in many of these places, and have had the sniffles ever since leaving Darwin. I hope it is not too cold dn Canada.”r*. ............. -.r . : ---- - -- - HOLMESVILLE Messengers Meet The Holmesville Messengers met on Friday (afternoon.

Keller) “If the parking lots go in we’ll paint the things green,” remarked Herbert Such, Reeve of Goderich at last Thursday’s sitting of Huron County Coun­ cil, He was referring to a pro­ posal by the property commit­ tee to alleviate unsatisfactory parking conditions by providing “packing facilities for approxi­ mately fifty cars at the north end and south end of thfe Court -House”. The Godericih reeve was op­ posed’ to thq installation of the ■parking lots in the Court Hopse Square because it could be con­ sidered a “desecration” and “an asphalt jungle” by Goderich people who appreciate the beauty of the park. Reeve Such urged councilors to defer any action on the proposal until Goderich Council had had an opportunity to meet and per­ haps come up with some 'alter­ nate suggestion which Would be just as acceptable to members, Carl Dalton, reeve of Sea­ forth, who, is chairman of the property committee, retaliated, “We don’t intend to be buffaloed by the town of Godierich. We were -supposed to be' guaranteed parking as long as the court house existed. County personnel are being penalized and I don’t think Goderich has a parking problem.” Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuck­ ersmith, noted, “If .they’re (Goderich) going to offer some­ thing (better, wie’re sure glad to hear about 'it.” Dalton -explained the parking lots would cost approximately $7,480 and would be paved and feature bumper blocks with names on them .to discourage shoppers oh Goderich from using the facilities. The county’s pro­ posed’ 70-foot wide parking lot would put an end to constant worries over parking tickets pinned by Goderioh police to cars left in one spot over the two. hour limit; While councillors and certain employees have received.’special consideration in the past, Reeve Stewart Proctor of Morris com­ plained to council that he had received a parking ticket, his first in 50 years of driving, in Goderich while on county bus­ iness.

The first condition is called iron deficiency anaemia, and the others are called secondary anaemias. In the former case, the patient'may have been los­ ing iron by blood loss; either in long continual 'small amounts or as a result of haemorrhage, faster than, the iron i's replaced. This may happen from men­ struation, (minor causes of bleeding like. haemorrhoids, more important causes like gas­ tric ulcer, or because 'iron is not absorbed sufficiently to keep up with natural loss. It may occur at a salary of1 $3,000 per nuim. an- Jail Uniforms for .employees at the county jail have been purchased at .a cost of $435.85 from a Goderich clothier.

The treatment, therefore, is to determine why the body is deficient of iron, and remedy the loss as weQfl as take extra iron until the supply is replen­ ished. Secondary anaemia is the an­ aemia which occurs in patients with infections, kidney diseases, arthritis, cancer and1 so on. The treatment for this anaemia is the treament of these diseases. Neither of these anaemias is helped by vitamin B-12 — in fact the anaemias helped by treatment with vitamin B-12 are rather uncommon. The most frequently seen is pernicious anaemia, ■ for which vitamin B-12 fe an excellent treatment. But even pernicious anaemia is quite uncommon compared with the' secondary anaemias the blood loss anaemias.
