work from there. In 1924 the Govern-
ment of Japan conferred upon her
the Sixth Order of the Sacred Trea-
sure in recognition of her construe-
tive social work. She was the first
woman upon whom the University of
Toronto conferred the degree of
xn
LL.D.
As a student at the University of
Toronto, Miss MacDonald gave Signs
of early promise. She spent much of
her time in religious work, and be-
came president of the '17,W.0,A, at
the college as well as president of
the Student. Christian Movement,
Graduating from university she took
a Post with the X.W.C.A., eventually
becoming National Secretary for Can-
ada. Fifty years ago, when the 1s'.W.
CA. began to enter foreign work,
Miss MacDonald was appointed to
Japan, where one of her first endea-
vours was the erection of student
hostels for the women students of
Tokyo. From another of her projects,
a Bible class in the heart of Tokyo,
began her great work amongst the
criminals in Tokyo's prisons.
Miss MacDonald died in 1931, after
many years of service in the mission
field, and was buried in the family
plot in Wingham Cemetery.
ASSESSMENT 111fill?
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
001,464,181, 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 Departnient 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 Eidt, in commenting
on the new assessment said "Not one
appeal has been registered."
DISCUSS DRAMA CLASS
AT RECREATION MEET
Last Thursday evening i 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 Toronto.
Mr. Young, the departments' drama
adviser, led a discussion on the pos-
sibility of setting up in this area
drama courses preparator'y. 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 pert 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
Conron, 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, Out.
The ad appeared in the Syractise,
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 th:., two original want ads
were placed in the museum hall 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 is still
maintained by him as part of a 1,000
acre farm for dairying, cattle-raising
and apple growing.
At a ceremony when the Want ads
Were hung in the museum hall, Fuller
said: "This little Syracuse want ad
Vas the turning point for this com-
pany."
"It wrs so Successful I used- others

started the conversion of one company

CKNX BORERS 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 Gord Symons rules com-
mittee.
Cruickshank, 555; high average of
the week, Bad. 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.
Markets for Farm
Woodlot Products
Now that fall is approaching, a far-
itier's thoughts may turn to the wood-
lot. Plans are made to do some logg-
ing from the woodlot, both to secure
additional income and to impioVe the
woodlot'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. G. Thurston, zone for-
ester. Many farmers have no idea
where they can market their woodlot
products to beat 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 adyan-
tage. Your zone forester is in a posi-
tion to advise you of the location of
all possible sawlog markets. By using
this information and• investigating
various markets, better prices can
generally be obtained, Logs that can
be Tiled for veneer will bring a better
price than ordinary sawlogs. If would.
then, be foolish, 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 forester of the Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests? There is
no charge for such work and these
men are anxious to help you make a
good and profitable job of your wood-
lot operations.

Province'Publishes
BabygSitters' Guide
A "Guide for 13aby-Sittersp prepar.
ed by the Ontario. Department of Pub-
lic Welfare, is ready for distribution
throughoot the Province, The Depart-
ment is making It available to high
schools, Girl Guides, I-lome and School
Clubs, Women's Institutes, church Or-
ganizations and similar groups.
The booklet was prepared by Miss •
Elsie M. 'Stapleford, director, Day
Nurseries Branch, and members of her
staff. It contains 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 °Wires done, nor enjoy a
few carefree hours of recreation if
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 to have a chest X-ray be-
fore applying for a babysitting job,
because little children are very sus-
ceptible to tuberculosis.
The three major rules for baby-
sitters outlined in the manual are:
Keep Them Safe—Keep Them Heal-
thy—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 cilscusses 'the par-
ticular problems of. runabout children.
also of school 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-
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-
lowed to do as much as they like; the
sitter Must therefore Ana out exactly.
what ,the child may be permitted to
do,
Teen-agers are rennintied that this
may be their first job and that it .gives
them an excellent opportunity to prat,
tice many habits which will make
them ,dealrable employees when they,
are ready for full-time work,
