,,,,The request for volunteers to take Nursing
' Rome residents for walks etc. was made at
the recent meeting of Majestic W.I. It
sounds like an excellent idea. The suggest-
ion, however, did not come from the
Callander Nursing Home but from, others
interested in assisting senior citizens.

Can you beat this one? It is surprising
what some animals will eat. We heard that a
young lady, who was camping in Pinery
Park, had the rubber eaten off her car
windows by young raccoons. Someone
suggested that it is the smell of the 'glue that
attracts them. It is lucky the lady in
question was not asleep in the car when the
little rascals paid it a visit. Who knows but
what they might have taken a fancy to the
fragrance of her make-up and taken an
exploratory nibble.

Eight lovely young ladies of this com-
munity will vie for the "Queen of the Fair"
crown here this Saturday night. You can see
their pictures elsewhere in this paper. The
Brussels Queen of the Fair , competition will
take place at the B.M.G. Community Centre
at the supper and dance sponsored by the
Brussels Agricultural Society. Why not be
there to enjoy both. See the young ladies
under the strain of stage presentation and
make your choice as to whom should capture
the title. For full particulars, see Coming
Events.
This is the time of the year when folks, by
the thousands, flock to beaches and rivers
for sunbathing, swimming and boating. Be
sure you do all safely: Too much of the'sun's
rays, or wind, can be harmful. A bad
sunburn can cause skin cancer and sun
stroke is no laughing matter. Have fun in the
water. Swimming is excellent exercise but
do not be foolish. Do not swim alone at
night. Do not swim a distance beyond your
ability. If you take to the water in a boat or
on skis be sure you are aware of, and obey all
rules. If you do not it could lead to tragedy.

It is amazing what a person can
accomplish in overcoming, not only one, but
several handicaps, to live a useful life, find
pleasure in the doing, and bring happiness
to others. The story of just such a person,
Cecil Starcher, was told in the July issue of
Reader's Digest. He was born deaf and
mute, and later in life became totally blind.
How many of us could lead a useful life
under such ,conditions? He married a deaf
girl. They had a son. He held a job. After the
death of his first wife he remarried and had
two daughters. At the age of 52 he became
totally blind and fell into a deep depression,
but not for long. He was not the kind to sit
idle and let life pass him by. He took a
successful interest in working about the
home, planted and cared for a large garden.
When his wife had to, be away he cooked his
own meals. He climbed ladders, cut down
trees. He is very fond of his grandchildren
and is a real pal of the youngest boy. They
learned to communicate with him by touch.
They proudly tell young friends, "He can't
see, hear or speak. But he can do anything."
Cecil Starcher, who is now 73 years of age
says "I'm healthy. I'm strong and in good
shape. I enjoy working and enjoy what I
have: How many of us, I wonder, would have
that attitude under such circumstances.
