Dr. Palmer, of Wingham, was the
guest speaker for the meeting, and
gave a very interesting tall* on the
changes in practise of medicine in
the past generation. Science has pro
duced many new drugs, and innocu-
lations and vaccinations have almost
stamped out many of the common
diseases of old times. Pasteurization
of milk has helped and it is hoped
that permanent cures for polio and
T.B. will be found.
Mrs. Millan Moore moved a vote of
appreciation to the speaker and all
enjoyed a discussion on the Huron
Co-Op Medical and Surgical plans,
which are being widely advocated in
this district.
Mrs. Robert Ross then took charge
of the topic, "Better to Build a Home
than a Fortune”, and told of what it
has meant to the world when the
study of home economics was intro
duced through Institutes by Adelaide
Hoodless at Hamilton. Mrs. Garnet
Farrier played a piano solo and Mrs.
Albert McQuillan gave a humorous
reading. The roll call was answered
by the name of an essential for the
medicine chest. Mrs. Millan Moore
gave a reading, "The Pilot of the
Plains”, and the meeting was closed
by singing the national anthem. Mrs.
Chas. Tiffin led in an interesting Val
entine contest and lunch was served.
The next meeting will be held in the
evening, when the ladies expect to
have pictures from the National Film
Board. !
