For two straight years our O.H.A. lads did not win a game and this season had dropped three in a row, and the fans were afraid that the jinx was here for another winter.

They played heads-up hockey, held their positions, checked hard, were right in there fighting all the way and boy, oh boy, how the fans (not as many as the last two games) enjoyed it. The raf­ ters fairly shook as they urged the gang .on and the most pleasing feat­ ure of the affair was that every play-; er responded and how! Those who passed up this game missed the tid-bit of hockey so far this season, in fact for three years. This game^and win was sttre sweet essence of roses to the crowd. The club will have to dispense throat tab­ lets if the fans stretch their vocal cords like that again. Off on the Right? Foot Right off H. Mitchell, Markle and Clarke went to bat.

HEALTH OFFICER ISSUES WARNING Tells How to Avoid Flu and How to Fight Flu. SLIPPERY ROADS FOLLOWING RAIN Only Two Minor Accidents Occurred Saturday was a cold day and' it ap­ peared that we had at last entered a Stretch of real winter weather but it turned milder and on Sunday began to rain. Later in the day the rain froze as it fell and as the weather turned colder again the streets of the town and' the highways were in a very slippery condition. Despite the slippery condition of the roads no serious accidents oc­ curred in this district although some cars performed some peculiar feats. About 5 o’clock on Sunday Mr. W. F. Burgman’s care slid into the bridge at the power house when he was re­ turning from the Lucknow road. No one was injured, slight damage to the fenders of the car was the only re­ sult. At noon on Monday Jack Mason’s car slid into the Imperiol Oil truck which stood in front of Mr. Peter­ son’s house. Jack had turned the cor­ ner off Centre street but the car re­ fused to respond to the wheel and hit the truck. The fender of the car was bent slightly and a headlight smashed. The Hydro officials and Bell Tele­ phone staff were afraid that much damage would be caused to the Wires but none resulted. The roads were very treacherous on Sunday evening. It took one man from Wingham .three hours to drive from Brampton to Listowel and the drive from Listowel to Wingham had to be done at a snail’s pace. GUILD ENTERTAINED WHITECHURCH Y. P. S.

Issues Timely Warning /Vs there is a somewhat mild epi­ demic of influenza in some neighbor­ ing localities, and which may become general, it seems advisable that ev­ eryone should' use every possible means to prevent its spread. It is an acute infectious disease and often begins very abruptly with chilli­ ness, with severe general aches and pains, fever and often great prostra­ tion out of all proportion to the height of the fever. There is usually sneezing, hoarse­ ness, inflamed eyes and hard dry cough at first. No. age is exempt and one attack does not protect against another. One of the great dangers, if pro­ per precautions are not taken, espec­ ially in the very young and the aged, is the development of pneumonia or pleurisy, cither of which may prove fatal. Complications and relapses are usually due to some neglect. How to Avoid “Flu” 1. Keep physically fit. 2. Exercise in the open air. 3. Get sufficient sleep in a well- ventilated room. 4. Avoid crowds. 5. Wash your face and hands fre­ quently and always before eat­ ing . 6. If you must cough or sneeze, do so into a clean handkerchief and thus protect your neighbor. 7. Follow implicitly the advice of your health officer. 8. Don’t ’visit those who are sick unless it is absolutely neces­ sary. 9. Don’t worry about the “Flu.” How to Fight “Flu” 1. Go to bod immediately. 2. Call your physician at once and do as he prescribes, 3. Stay in bed tilt your doctor tells you to get tip. 4. Remember the period of get­ ting well is longer than the time actually ill. 5. Koop your room at 6S6F, and well ventilated, ST. PAULS W. A.
