An eclipse is always an interesting phenomenon to ob- serve, however, there is real danger of eye damage unless extreme care is taken. Ordin- ary sunglasses, smoked glass, even welder's goggles are not dense enough to protect the delicate cells in the retina of the eye. The lense of the eye focuses a very small and bril- liant image on the back of the retina and in looking at the sun the extreme heat will scar the cells, causing permanent Hospital Board Continued from Page One 5th. A dinner at Danny's Restaurant was provided for the class by the Ladies' Auxiliary, where the tables were decor- ated by Mrs. W. W. Armstrong and her committee of Aux- iliary members. These ladies also served refreshments follow- ing the graduation exercises. The new class of trainees will commence studies on September 4th. Under regu- lations of the OHSC a maxi- mum of 24 students will be permitted. Mrs. Morrey also said that the regulations now call for each student working a minimum of six months after graduation in the hospital, so it is hoped that some of the present critical staffing pro- blems will be eliminated after' the graduation of the next class. The administrator stated that at times the registered nursing staff has been down to eleven, to look after as many as 91 patients, which is far from adequate or safe. PROPERTY It was reported that a morgue refrigerator had been purchased from the Stratford General Hospital at a cost of $400 and when it arrived was found to be too large for the location intended. As a con- sequence a new morgue room was constructed adjacent to the laundry. The report also recommend- ed that a pharmacist be added to the staff. The board approved a list of nine doctors from outside points who will be permitted the use of hospital facilities. These indlude consultants and specialists who have worked here previously. The tender of Imperialle Fuels, London, at $16.18 for stoker coal was accepted. The board also agreed to the investment of a further $25, 000 in approved guaran- teed trust certificates and the placing of the investment was left to the finance committee. eye damage - damage that doesn't hurt when it happens. Six sheets of fully exposed photographic film are claimed to provide protection but the only safe way to watch an eclipse is by indirect project- ion - a pin-hole camera, so simple to construct that any youngster can make one. To make such a device all that is necessary is a fairly large carton. Paste a piece of white paper in one end of the box, and in the other cut out a small hole and paste a piece of aluminum foil over the hole and puncture with a pin. The hole acts as a minute lense and will project an image of the sun on the paper, about a fifth of an inch in diameter if the box is two feet long. To view the picture, a head hole is cut in the side of the box, and the box sealed up from the light. In use the pin hole is pointed at the sun as the viewer stands with his back to the sun. The accompanying drawing will show the method. THE NEW BELGRAVE ARENA is nearing completion. The structure is closed in and presents a fine appear ance. Larger than the old building, the new one has heavy trusses of laminated lumber. Outside work will be completed when the new part is joined to the hall section at the front.—A-T Photo.

PHONE 357-1570 Donald McIntosh that summer and in the fall it was decided to build a Presbyterian Church. Mr. McIntosh, one of the pio- neers of Bruce, donated a cor- ner of his farm as land for the church site. Until such time as the church was completed services were held at the•Mc- Intosh home, Inglis School and at Orange Hill. The frame building was started in 1861, but was not completed for two years due to lack of funds. The manse was built at Belmore in 18'78, and the present brick church re- placed the original frame build- ing in 1884. The cash outlay for the brick church was $2, 061. Horse sheds were erected in 1893. In the early years the tuning fork was used but a reed organ was placed in the church in 1906. The congregation be- came United in 1925, at the time of church union. Major improvements since that time have included electricity to replace the oil lamps in 1945 and a new organ in 1951. The Belmore congregation was organized in the 1870's and Mildmay United Church joined with McIntosh and Bel - more in 1933 to make a three- point charge. FORMER MINISTERS Rev. William Hay was the first minister after the frame church was erected, He also preached at Balaclava, Lower Station and Orange Hill. His yearly stipend was $500. Rev. Wm. Blain followed Mr. Hay in 1872. He preached at Clifford, Balaclava and Mc- Intosh, and it was during his time that the Belmore congre- gation was organized. Rev. A. C. Stewart served the congregations of McIntosh and Belmore for 27 years, taking over from Mr. Blain in 1877. Ministers who followed were Rev. John Bradford, 1904; Rev. J. S. McMillan, 1910; Rev. A. R. Gibson, 1912; Rev. N. R. Mrs. W. F. Burgman Wingham Resident PERSON For Fifty Years A wide circle of friends throughout the community were saddened this week by the death of Mrs. William F.
