To prevent overlapping, some basic rules to follow are suggested. All groups or in- dividuals wishing to help should work closely with the board member in their locality. It is important that all con- tributions except perishable goods, be delivered to Goder- ich, headquarters of the Child- ren's Aid, or to your local board member, well before the end of November. Money is most acceptable for buying gifts for older child- ren. These are usually more expensive and not many are donated. Other suggested gifts are, donations of food, new wearing apparel, socks, mitts, layettes, stationery, billfolds, flashlightg toilet articles, jewellery. Christmas seals, ribbons, tags, Christmas paper for wrapping the gifts are also needed.

Cystic Fibrosis Subject of Talk Huron County Chapter Regis- tered Nurses Assoc., were guests of the Exeter nurses, for their September meeting held at South Huron Hospital. Guest speaker for the meeting was Mr. Ivlackie, president of the London Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Society. Cystic Fibrosis is a congeni- tal and hereditary ailment and is the most chronic disease of infancy and childhood. About one in every 1,000 babies is born with the disease. While there is no known cure forcys- tic fibrosis, continuous and ag- gressive research has already increased the life expectancy of its victims. Mr. Mackie told the nurses that the cost of drugs to the parents of these children is very great. The Cystic Fibrosis Society is a voluntary health organization dedicated to research and to the objectives of professional, public and parent education. It is encouraging, Mr. Mackie stated, that. due to research, the life expectancy of the cys- tic fibrosis child has been rais- ed from one to 12 years and in some cases into adult life. At present the number of chapters is growing across Can- ada. There are now 19 chap- ters. The greatest need of the society is money to carry on research and to help in the care of patients. The progress made in reasearch is most re- warding and anyone who con- tributes to the Cystic Fibrosis Society, can feel satisfaction that such progress is being made. The film " The Pied Piper", was shown at the conclusion of the address. The president thanked Mr, Mackie for his informative talk and expressed appreciation on behalf of the nurses. A delicious lunch was served to the nurses at the con- clusion of the meeting and a vote of thanks extended to Miss Claypole and her staff.

Len - hard, a former pastor of Im- maculate Conception Church, Formosa, passed away in St. Joseph's Hospital, Guelph, on Monday, September 16, at the age of 85.

Today, Montreal is the largest city in Canada, the largest inland seaport in the world and the second largest French-speaking city on earth. MAGNETIZED MEDICINE One of the most famous of the faith healers made a lasting contribution not to medicine but to the English language. Dr. Franz Mesmer, an 18th century German physician, be- lieved that a force which he called animal magnetism per- vaded the universe and that he had a mysterious control over this force. At one stage of his career, Dr. Mesmer used actual magnets to treat sick patients. He was discredited by the French Academie des Sciences in 1784 and retired into se- clusion. However, Dr. Mes- mer's fame still lives, The word "mesmerized" is used even today as a synonym for hypnotized.
