Bennett was at the organ and played hymn, “God of the Living", at the re quest of the family. Stores in the town were tween the hours of two o’clock out of respect. Pallbearers were Dr. B. Dr. R. B. Palmer, Dr. G. H. Ross, Dr. W. A. McKibbon, Wilfred R. Hamilton and Howard Sherbondy. closed be- and three N. Corrin, 8| 8 I i Dr. Wm. Connell Was Beloved Physician (Continued from Page One) nurse from the general hospital, Sault Ste, Marie, who later became his wife. In 1921 Dr. Connell returned to Lucknow to enter partnership with Dr, A. G. Elliott, who died two years later. He continued, to practise in Lucknow until 1934, after which he took over the office and practice of the late Dr. Margaret Calder in Wing ham. During the twenty years in which he worked in Wingham he did a great deal of surgery, a branch of medicine in which he had great interest and skill. In fact, he left Lucknow to be nearer a hospital, and during his years here was always intensely interested in the Wingham General Hospital, its welfare and improvement, and was of the greatest assistance in planning and equipping the new wing which was opened in 1946. Dr. Connell was always ready willing, day or night, to answer emergency, and worked to and yond the limit of his strength. Sev en years ago he suffered a severe coronary thrombosis, but after sev eral months was able to take up his work again. He lived from day * to day, knowing that another and fatal attack might come at any time, but he did not spare himself. His only concern was that he might become an invalid, and no longer able to car ry on the work he loved. In this his wish was granted, for he was stricken after skilfully completing two major operations, and died within a few hours. Besides his work, his chief interest was in his own family—his wife, Daisy; his three children, Margaret (Mrs. (Dr.) T. G. Irwin of Alliston), Mary Lu (Mrs. Hiram Grisdale of Harriston) and Billy; his five grand children and his only sister, Mary (Mrs. James Cleland). While unable to be a regular church attendant, he was a deeply religious man, as his closest friends might tes tify. In his daily life and his rela tionships with people he practised the highest -principles of Christian bro therhood, seeing the good in, and ex cusing the weaknesses and failings of everyone with whom he came in con tact. Though he had little time for rec reation he was a talented musician, an ardent fisherman and an expert amateur photographer, but essentially and always his work came first, Dr. Connell had a place in the life of the community and in the hearts of his patients, who were also his friends, which will be difficult to- fill. HIGHWAY KATE SET FOB BIIUCB Bruce County’s highway rate was set at 5 1(4 mills, a quarter less than the rate last year, A by-law was also passed, amend ing a previous by-law designating through highways, also one regulating the distance of buildings from the centre line of all county roads.

From $4.95 upPOLIO PREVENTATIVE IN SHORT SUPPLY There is imminent danger that over optimism regarding the effectiveness of gamma globulin in preventing polio may result in a tragic curtailment of the material where and when it is most desperately needed this sum mer. Dr. Nelles Silverthorne, chairman of the Child & Maternal Health Sec tion of the Health League of Canada, said: “It is only fair in non-epidemic areas for all people to co-operate with our present plan of using globulin (already in short supply) to prevent possible close contacts in a very heav ily infected area where an epidemic is causing severe crippling and dea£h.” Actually the immunizing potenti alities of gamma globulin have not yet been proven beyond question. "It is assumed,” Dr. Silverthorne said, “That gamma globulin protects at most for a short period; namely, one month. I should not believe it wise to keep giving children injections of gamma globulin every month when many of them will not become infected in any case. It would seem rather useless to give gamma globulin when a child leaves on his summer vacation to find that he developed paralytic poliomy elitis a month or two after the prob able protective effects of the gamma globulin have worn off. Ip other words, indiscriminate use of gamma globulin in non-epidemic areas is not only selfish in view of the shortage but may also prove quite futile," SUMMER SLACKS An exceptionally fine range of rayon or wool gabardine slacks, or grey flannels — splash weaves, plain shades.
