Discuss New Building Plans At Library Annual Meeting Whigham Wednesday, Feb. M 1954 Page • Miss were Ohio with fam- flames Harold Town- of the ELMA HOME BURNED Fanned by a near blizzard, destroyed the farm home of Ritchie, concession 14, Elma ship, on Friday night. Cause fire is attributed to a defective chim­ ney. The Ritchies, who have two child­ ren, managed to save a few house­ hold effects as the high wind soon whipped the flames out of control. Listowel firemen were hindered in their efforts to fight the flames by the fact that there were 6-foot snow­ drifts blocking the laneway. The annual meeting of the Blue­ vale Public Library was held in the new library on Wednesday evening, the chairman of the board, J. 0. Hig­ gins, presiding, and Mrs, Harry El­ liott acting as secretary. Some plans were discussed for furn­ ishing the inside of the building which still requires floor covering and shelv­ ing for books. The treasurer's state­ ment, prepared by Mrs. J. H. Smith, the recent librarian, showed a good financial position. The following were re-elected mem­ bers of the board for 1954: J. C. Higgins, chairman; Rev. R. A. Brook, Reeve John Fischer, Mrs. W. M. McKinney, Mrs. Jas. Johnston, Mrs. Harry Elliott, Mrs. M. McFarlane. Two new members were added: Rev. M. Bailie and Miss, Ruby Duff. Mrs, Harry Elliott was appointed secre­ tary treasurer. Appreciation was expressed for the careful work of Mrs. J. H. Smith, as librarian and secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Smith has moved to Molesworth. It was decided to increase the in­ surance on the building and to adver­ tise for a librarian. Much voluntary effort has been experfded to make the library a possibility, men in the com­ munity contributing work in building .and the women in painting and var­ nishing. Former residents of the com­ munity have contributed very gener­ ously to the building fund, kindly let­ ters from Wingham, Toronto, Detroit and other parts, as far away as Bri­ tish Columbia having been received, with donations, showing the friendly interest taken by those who were once our neighbors.

A message of appreciation for her fine contribution to the work of the Institute will be sent to Mrs. J. H. Smith at Molesworth. Mrs. Donald Robertson played some bright numbers on the piano accor- dian. .The roll call was - answered by giving the name of a modern drug and its use, to which there were in­ teresting responses. John W. McKibbon, Phm.B., W’ing- ham, gave a talk on drugs, outlining the evolution that has taken in medical treatments and the kind of drugs used. He said in the earliest times reme­ dies were connected with magic. By experimentation gradually a scientific approach was reached. Some great men in medicine as Edward Jenner, discoverer of vaccine for smallpox and Louis Pasteur, who first employed antiseptics, took the guess work out of medical treatment. The days of "cure-alls” are not so long ago but these are no longer® found on the druggist's shelves. Instead we have the so-called "wonder” drugs, penicil­ lin, sulfa, various antibiotics, truly marvellous in their’ effects. And we may look forward to still more won­ der drugs.
