No Tooth Decay Near Ripley
A discovery by investigators of the
Ontario Health Department that resi.,
dents of the Ripley district near Kin-
cardine have scarcely any tooth decay
was announced by Deputy Health
Minister B. T. McGhie as- a possible
long step forward in dental medicine.
Dr. MeGhie said the investigators
first determined the presence of such
elements as 'fluorine and phosphorus
in drinking water and home-grown
foods in the district, and probed their
relation to prevalent dental conditions.
He said fluorine and phosphorus is
abundant in the Ripley area and "the
teeth of the people were found to be
exceptionally good." Dr. McGhie
said that the investigators in the Rip-
ley district are ahndst finished and
that the investigators have turned
their attention to the Madoc district,
north of Belleville, Ont., where fluor-
ine and phosphorus is -believed to exist.

LAST-MINUTE-TIPS
ON HEAT-SAVING
IMMIGRATION
There is a big attempt being made
t present to create a pressure on the
Government to have the lid lifted on I
itemigration into Canada. We are of
the 'opinion that to develop the re-
sources of this great country we can
use more people than our present
population. But such development
would of necessity require a great deal
of planning and the right kind of
people would be necessary. We mean
by' the right kind of people those who
are willing to pioneer in our northern
lands, those who are willing to take
tEP sand, those whose education is such
that we have real hope of making
Canadians out of them in a reasonable
time, those who for any other reason
would enrich our country with their
knowledge or their industry. To
plan such a move would take much
study and most careful timing. We
triust not overlook the fact that when
this war is over there will be our sol-
xTiers, sailors and airmen who will
rave to be absorbed and they must
.receive attention in being rehabilitated
;prior fto any other people. Many of
those who come back will require
-fiorther education, both academic and
vocational. iGordon Fraser, a member
Sri PaHiament speaking in the house
the other day, voiced his opposition
to the admission of refugees or other
immigrants to Canada until all Cana-
&ails have been established in jobs
after the war. This seems a very
seasonable idea. The lads from over-
seas will have a big job to fit them-
selves back into normal life without
`opposition from folk brought in from
other countries.

SHIPS HAVE GOOD CHANCE
It was great news to read recently
that Hon. Angus MacDonald, minister
45;if naval services, said that every ship
in an Allied convoy in the Atlantic
sow has an almost 100 per cent chance
cif getting through safely. The drop
in electiveness of the U-boats is
startling according to the minister.
This condition has not been accomp-
Niched by easy methods. The men
that sail the seas have been giving of
their best in fighting this menace. The
use of the planes to spot and chase
Submarines has had a telling effect and
t.1;e lads who ride these planes have
done a great job. If the methods new
used ,were relaxed the submarine
-would interrupt and interfere seriously
with the ocean traffic so vital to the
war effort. Let us take off our hats
to these services that have played such
an important part itt the war and let
us not forget that they are still con-
tinuing, with this risky duty.

a
(Meant for last week)
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Deans and Eliza-
beth, Mrs. Osbaldeston of Wingham,
visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs.
Norman 'McDowell.
The Farm Forum meeting was held
on Monday evening at the home of
Mr. and-Mrs. Fred J. Cook, -with 53
present. After listening to the broad-
cast over rtCBL on "The Rural Com-
munity," groups were formed and the
subject was discussed, after which the
social activities Which were in charge
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cook, took the
form of moving pictures which were
gievn by Mr. Lorne Webb of Blyth.
The most of the pictures being taken
on the farm or in the community of
Mr. Jim. Scott of Seaforth. A hearty
vote, of thanks was tendered Mr.
Webb, The meeting next week will
be at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Wm.
Carter, when Mr. Marvin McDowell
will give a talk, Lunch was Served
it's .a different matter. In that case
your blood starts bubbling a little
faster and you sense the power of
nature getting ready for the 'full bloom
of spring.
Actually, according 'to a book I've
been reading you should yell when you
want to. Not doing it, 'gives you the
start -of a sense of frustration. I've
been thinking however that it might
cause a sensation in the township. If
I went back the, land yelling and
yipping at the top of my voice it
would certainly give the neighbors
something to talk about. Thinking
about ,this is- what kept me from let-
ting out a 'real war-whoop.
Just the same however, I looked
around quite carefully, and let out a
couple that couldn't be heard much
past the house. I saw Mrs. Phil come
to the window and look out anxiously
and then hail from the ,kitchen door,
She wanted to know if there was any-
thing wrong. I sazid "N'o", meekly
and she went back into the house
looking sort of, puzzled.
WESTFIELD
there were some cheeping sparrows
flitting around the driving-shed, It
was one of those days when you do
feel as if Spring is holding a preview
of the things to come. The air is soft
and warm in place of brittle and cold.
The dog chases the rooster and the
pigs grunt away in a chorus from be-
hind the pig-pen door, as if wanting
to get outside into the sunshine. The
cows mill around the old strawstack
and the team of bays whinny earnest-
ly, as if pleading for a chance to get
a run down the laneway and back,
Even Sir Timothy, the second, the
red bull snorts and paws around- with
a great rattling of ehains.
I suddenly wanted to yell. It was
the same feeling the oue you get driv-
ing through a big 'swamp in winter-
time with a load of logs for the mill.,
Boys 'yell but men have certain feel-
ings and a fear of eing called crazy
so they whistle or sing very loudly.
A boy will hoot and holler and listen
for the echo. I've had the same feel-
ing sitting in the ante-room of some
of the bigger financial institutions -in
the city. Solemn-faced young men
wearing black clothes walk by you,.
talking about rates of interest . . and
you wonder why young men `should
look so devoid of happiness, Then
you see old men, looking severe, carry-
ing little cases of papers also going
by. The answer comes to you like, a
flash. The young men imitate the old
men and when they get old, there's
another class of young men coming
along to take their place . . . so it's
just an endless, chain, I've alway,s
wanted to yell out or do something
that would break this chain. Some-
day I'm going to yell , . . just to see
if the old men would stop looking Iike
undertakers and the 'Young- men might
even smile . . just for a few seconds.
I've also had a desire to yell in the
spring when we're boiling sap back in
the bush. A fellow doesn't notice it
when he's busy hauling, sap or" build-
ing a fire, but when the pan is bub-
bling and you stand outside the shanty
door and hear the crows cawing , .

Teeswater Ladies In
Car Accident
While enroute from Hamilton to
Teeswater, Mrs. F. T. Field and Miss
Natalie Jacklin met with misfortura,e,
on the icy roads. Near Harriston they
struck an icy piece of highway and
the car went out of control, bit the

times, taking out a couple of fence
poles in its course. Miss Jacklin was

SLAT RATE FOR HYDRO
Bruce County Council at its last ses-
sion went on record as favouring an
approximate flat rate for power
charged to urban municipalities. In
their opinion it would mean the move-
xnent of population to the cities would

a, greater portion of Ontario. Equaliz-
ation of power rates through the parts

tric rower Cononission has been

better times and expansion in urban

that only a third of the boys who have
joined the Air Cadets were medically
fit. An Air Force medical officer was
in town last Friday, giving the boys
their "inedicals," and 44 of the 68 boys
in the local Squadron were examined.
The 'balance are to be done by a local
doctor. Only 15 of the 44 boys were

• The familiar Hydro towers, striding across the
countryside, are symbolic of a great public enterprise
that has contributed m uch to thedevelopment of Ontario.
Along the transmission lines, carried by these towels,
flows the power that lightens the Wayin many thousands
of homes, industries and farms.
Hydro power is accessible. It reaches out across the
miles to far off city, town or farm . ready to serve
at the flip of a switch. •
Hydra power is flexible. ft turns the wheels of our
factories, mills and mines. It weaves our cloth, grinds
our grain, milks our cows, pumps our Water. it lifts bur
elevators, washes bur clothes, refrigerates and cooks
our food. it lights our homes, runs bur radios. Day
and night it serves our needs, in hundreds of
different wayse
Hydro power defendable. Well-equipped
emergency crews and repair equipment stand by day and night ready to keep power flowing at all times.
Hydro power is economical. Through the years it
is one factor, essential to our everyday living, that has
been consistently reduced in price.
Hydro serves the people in thousands of ways. It brings them comfort, ease and convenience. Yet,
Hydro's contribution to the welfare of the people, up to now, is but a !preview of the promise which the electrical world holds for tomorrow. Since war began,
Hydro power has been, and will be, available
wherever and whenever it is required by Ontario's
war industries. When peace comes, electricity
supplied by Hydra will perform services that are
certain to contribute much toward creating new and
finer standards of living., This indispensible element,
in our everyday life, lightens the way in everything we do.
