Fanned by a near blizzard,
destroyed the farm home of

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 public ceremony for opening the

Hear Talk on Drugs
On the stormiest day of the winter,
February 11th, the Women’s Insti
tute held its monthly' meeting at the
home of Mrs. M. Bailie, with an at
tendance of 27. Miss Ruby Duff, vice-
president, was in the chair.
It was decided not to send a dele
gate to the conference of branch pres
idents to be held in Guelph in May and
not to take part in garden club work
this year.
Donations were voted to the St.
John's Ambulance Fund and to the
fund for assisting Mrs. Kregar, Wing
ham. 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. Mr. McKibbon’s address
was very much .appreciated.

some contests after which refresh
ments were served by the hostess, as
