Most Important Possession
At least 80% of our knowledge comes to us through the
eyes. Yet we are more careless about eyesight than
any other possession. Many people have defective
vision without even knowing it, Nothing is more
important than your own two eyes. Have them
examined once a year. Begin now.

the funds for that committee. Plans and estimates for a
3-bed hospital were prepared and the South Huron
Hospital association formed to carry on the work. First
estimate for the building without furnishings and equip-

A board was formed with representatives from all the
townships affected. The community took over the task
of letting contracts and secured the assistance of local a

Today's housewives make so few
pickles that when you strike a jar
that really tastes good, and you say,
"Dear, these are good, let's make a
lot more next year". What does the
better half say? You guessed it, "Oh,
I don't remember how I made those,
that is a recipe I got from my girl-
friend, cousin Nostalgia, and I have
lost it". You never see or taste that
type again. Yes, the pickling season
is here again.
This is the pickling season, and
many an unsusupecting breadwinner
will present himself for supper these
nights, only to find friend wife up to
her ears in sweet pickles, dill pickles,
nine day pickles, and a hundred and
one other concoctions that only
fertile female mind could contrive.
Yes, the pickling season is here again
and once more housewives and cooks
everywhere are subjecting themselves
arid their families to the sometimes
sweet, and sometimes sour, smelling
odours that pour out of the pickle
kettles,

this business of pickling is not the
event, not the important season that
it used to be. Back in the days B.C,

It was very few cellars that didn't

quarts of fruit or pickles, lining the
shelves along the wall. There was no
other way to store these delicious
preserves ,and along with the salt
pork barrel, the sauer kraut barrel,
and the potato bin, most of the winter
foods were stored therein. Now, the
housewife either buys her canned
fruits and vegetables, or makes use injuries, the full extent of which are of the cold storage locker. Times are not known at time of writing. changing. Mrs. Peter Hastings, of Turnberry Those were good Old days, when township, had an unfortunate acct- mother made the preserves and the
