EKNX BOWLERS FORM
FIVE TEAM LEAGUE
CKNX bowlers have organized into
a five team league of their own
which is currently bowling on Mon-
day nights, in the local academy of
skill. With one team of shift work-
ers on Friday night, it means that a
total of 28 bowlers from the station
staff have already become initiated
to the sport, and about a half dozen
more will be busy by the time an-
other week is up.
Teams are not definite yet, as the
club is waiting till all bowlers have
established themselves, but by next
week, competition will be keen. A
league executive consists of John
Strong, pres., Bob Carbert, Vin
Dittmer, assist. sec., Mary Louise
Flach, treas., Bud Cruickshank, Lil-
lian Gorbutt, prize committee, Johnny
Brent and Gard Symons rules com-
mittee.
On the basis of this past week's
bowling the following noteworthy
scores have been amassed: high
single .(men), Doug Murray, 230;
high triple of the week (men), Bud
Cruickshank, 555; high average of
the week, Bud Cruickshank, 185; high
women's single of the week, Molly
Brent, 175; high triple of the week,
Molly Brent, 456; high average of the
week, Molly Brent, 152,
Bud Cruickshank's tentative team
won week's honours with triple of
2007. Gordon Symons' Friday night
team was second with 1982, Johnny
Brent was the only casualty, and he
has been recommended to the league
executive for the Purple Heart.

ASSESSMENT HIGH?
LOOK AT WALKERTON
Wingham ratepayers who have been
complaining about the rise in their
assessment may draw comfort from
the Walkerton assessment figures, re-
leased by Walkerton Town Assessor,
Walter Eidt, at Monday's council
meeting,
Mr. Eidt's figures on the new equal-
ized assessment of the town under-
taken by himself and County Assessor,
E. J. Finnegan, showed a total assess-
ment of $3,158,999, as compared to last
year's figure of $1,694,818, an increase
of '31,464,181, or almost 100%. A break-
down of the assessment figures show
that lands and buildings were assess-
ed at $2,797,999, and the business tax
amounted to $361,000,
A DepartMent of Municipal Affairs
official stated that the Department
was pleased that Walkerton had
agreed to an equalized assessment,
and was also pleased with the manner
in which the new assessment was re-
ceived by the ratepayers.
Town Assessor Thiele in commenting
on the new assessment said "Not one
appeal has been registered."
DISCUSS DRAMA CLAS
AT RECREATION MEET
Last Thursday evening in the town
hall a meeting was held of the drama
representatives of the various coun-
cils of the Lake Huron District Re-
creational Council. Twelve representa-
tives were present from Southampton,
Paisley, Hanover, Walkerton, Exeter
and Wingham, Representing the re-
creation branch of the Department of
Education were Mr. R. Secord of Lon-
don and Mr. F. Young, of Termite,
Mr. Young, the departments' drama
adviser, led a discussion on the pos-
sibility of setting up in . this area
drama courses preparatory, to a one-
act drama festival. He said, that if
there was a desire for such courses
they might be given in three or four
centres in the latter part of Novem-
ber. A one-act festival might then be
held in March or April at different
centres in. the district,
Anyone interested in taking such a
drama course in Wingham or a nearby
town should get in touch with Bill
Cottrell, president of the local recrea-
tion council.
BUSINESS BUILT
ON ONE WANT AD
A well-known Canadian--born U.S.
industrialist, says that a single news-
paper want ad increased his business
from a first-year $8,500 to one with
current' annual sales of $50,000,000.
He is Alfred C. Fuller, founder and
chairman of the board of Fuller Brush
Company, Hartford, Conn., and of
the Fuller Brush Company, Ltd.,
Hamilton, Otit.
The ad appeared in the Syracuse,
N. Y., Post-Standard December 14,
1909, and was followed by a solicita-
tion from the old Everybody's Maga-
zine for another Want ad, which he
inserted, Since then the company has
used newspaper want ads regularly,
Fuller's statement was made as photo-
stats of the two original want ads
were placed in the museum hail of
the company's home office.
Fuller was born in Nova Scotia,
near Grand Pre, in 1885. His ancestors
were of Mayflower descent and went
to Nova Scotia Annapolis Valley in
1760. The family seat there le still
maintained by him as part of a 1,000
acre farm for dairying, tattle-raising
anti apple growing.

13abyi.Sitters' Guide
A "guide for Baby-Sitters," prepar-
ed by the Ontario 'Department of Pub-
lip Welfare, is ready for dietributiqa
throughout tile ,Province, The Depart-
merit is making it available to high
schools, Girl Guides, Home and School
Clubs, Women's Institutes, church or-
gapizatioes and similar groups.
The booklet was prepared ber Miss
Elsie M. Stapleford, director, Pay
Nurseries Branch, and members of her
staff, It contents many valuable sug-
gestions and instructions, not only to
baby-sitters, but also to parents em-
ploying them.
Baby-sitting in recent years has be-
come a development in our way of life,
Many mothers would not be able to
get essential Owes dope, nor enjoy a
few carefree hours of recreation it
they could, not trust their baby-sitters.
Then, too, many young children first
learn from the person who comes to
babysit that there are other kindly
people in the world who can be trust-
ed,
Baby-sitting is a job, of great impor-
tance, the Guide says, that one should
be willing to furnish certificates of
good health and character to the
child's parents. It is -particularly re-
commended tp have a chest X-ray be-
fore applying for a babysitting job,
because little children are very sue-
eeptible to tuberculosis.
The three major rules for baby-
sitters outlined in the manual are:
Keep Them Safe—Keep Them Heal-
shy—Keep Them Busy.
Starting with the warning never to
leave a baby alone, the booklet out-
lines safety rules to be observed and
checks to be made in order to keep
babies safe and' healthy. As for keep-
ing them happily occupied, one should
know some simple games, stories and
songs.
Before assuring dare of a young
child, one should have the mother
show how to pick and hold him, how
to change him, how to warm his bottle
and give it to him, and-find out what
position he likes to sleep in. •
The Guide also discusses the par-
ticular problems of runabout children
also of schobl age and convalescent
children. Children from 18 months to
4 or 5 years are practically perpetual
motion machines and require a lot of
stamina and wit on the sitter's part.
Sitting with .children of five or six
years and over is a different proposit-
ion, As they stay up _later, one has to
spend more time with them during
the evening. These children are cap-
able of looking after themselves in
many respects, yet they are inisehiev-
ous and thoughtless and apt to be
carried away by excitement. As .fox
convalescent children, they usually
are very eager for activity after a per-
iod in bed, but are also very apt to
over-tire themselves if they are al-
Continued mild weather and light
fronts have resulted in Many freaks
of nature, On Thanksgiving Day, Moe,
Harold Ohilds, of Broadway Street,

from her garden. To prove her point,
she brought a branch of the luscious

Markets for Farm
Woodlot Products
Now that fall is approaching, a fer-
nier's thoughts may turn to the wood-
lot. Plaits are made to do some logg-
ing from the woodlot, both to secure
additional income and to imprOve the
woodiot's quality.
The zone foresters of the Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests can fre-
quently offer valuable assistance in
this part of the farm work program
reports W. A. 0, Therston, zone for-
ester. Many farmers have no idea
where they can market their woodlot
products to beet advantage. It is true
that it is rather difficult to sell fire-
wood from tops or a thinning opera-
tion in the woodlot. But it is not dif-
ficult to sell sawlogs. However, a wise
farmer will be sure that he sells the
logs which he cuts to the best advan-
tage. Your zone forester is in a posi-
tion to advise you of the location of
all possible sawleg markets. By using
this information and' investigating
various markets, better prices can
generally be obtaizied, Logs that can
be used for veneer will bring a better
price than ordinary sawlogs. It'would,
then, be feelish.to sell veneer logs for
sawing into lumber.
This year, if planning to cut logs
in the bush, why not use the services
of the zone fOreethr of the Depart.
Ment of Lands and Forests? There is
Ito charge for such work and these
men are anxious to help you make d
good and profitable job of yout wood-
lot operations, • -
sitter Must therefore find out exactly
what the child May be permitted to
do,
Teen-alters are reminded that this
may be their first job and that it gives
them an eXcellent opportunity to prac-
tice many habits which will make
them ,desirable employees when they
are ready for full-time work.
