His professional services are always available to fill your needs in sickness and health. More and more, people now turn with confidence to the registered pharmacist who works hand in hand with your physician, Long Years of Practical Training Just what goes into the long years of formal study before he can render this important service to you and the community? TO earn his college degree he is required to take funda- mental courses in mathematics, science and English during his first years of study. Then, in later years, he begins to specialize in such courses as pharmacology, bacteriology, chemistry, drug analysis, and drug store management. After one year of 'internship' taken during his vacations or after graduation and after pass- ing an exacting, comprehensive examination he finally receives his licence to pradtice. These high standards of formal professional training and examina- tions, together with the Code of Ethics to which registered pharmacists adhere, are real protection for you and your loved ones.

As a young girl she attended a crowded country school in Hul- lett Township and after passing her "entrance", now Grade 8, she assisted the teacher with the junior classes in exchange for instruction in the first two grades in high school work. Thus she was able to enter the third grade (now Grade 11) of Clinton Col- legiate. On graduating from here she attended a short term in Model School in Clinton. She secured a position as teacher in a two- room school in Southern Ontario. She had an enrollment of 120 pupils, 30 of whom were negroes and received a yearly salary of $240. The negroes were seated at one side of the room and had a special place for their wraps but whites and blacks played to- gether and mingled without fric- tion. Mrs. Layton, then Miss Nellie Medd, attended Ottawa Normal School and taught in Saskatchewan in small villages where she taught all grades from beginners to first and second years in High School. While in the West she had the chance to join a teacher's excur- sion and visited England, France, Italy and Egypt. On her return she taught in Ontario and taught Grades 7 to 10 in a two-roomed school in Winchelsea. In 1920 she bought her present home to be near her brother George Medd who operated Ex- eter creamery. She cared for her parents and taught in Exeter public School. She wrote a page- ant "The Crowning of Canada" for the pupils to use at Exeter Home and School meeting on the occasion of Canada's 60th jubilee. It was well received and the De- partment of Education had copies sent to all the public schools in the province. She was married to the late George Layton of Tuckersmith who died in 1958. Since living in Exeter, Mrs. Layton has been associated with Main Street Church and she says the greatest pleasure she has had in working with any organiza- tion through the years has been with the young women's evening unit (at that time called Evening Auxiliary) which she organized and worked with for many years. She feels their friendship kept her young in spirit during these years. Many friends called over the weekend to extend best wishes and the ladies of her church as- sited and gave her a birthday cake.
