The street sign project is expect- ed to get underway in the near future. At present the special. committee of Town Council and the Jaycee beautification committee are determining exactly how many signs and posts will be needed for the town. At a recent meeting, council decided to increase its contribution to the project to $2,500 so that it can be completed this year. The Junior Chamber has informed enimncd that it will supply the posts with signs mounted on them. Mr. Hoffman estimated that the project would take from four to six weeks.

A dynamite charge breaks the log jam and the floating pulpwood crop moves on its journey to the waiting pulp and paper mills. Harvested according to sustained yield "forest management plans, some ten million cords• of pulpwood flow out of the woodlands annually to supply' Canada's 150 year old pulp and paper industry. It will become pulp for all kinds of paper, paperboard, rayon, photo -film, cellophane, and other products used at home and abroad. Directly and indirectly, pulp and paper operations generate dne dollar in eight of the income of every Canadian. - WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Percy Johnston, East street, entertained a number of guests to a turkey dinner on Good Friday in honor of their thirty-eighth wedding anniversary.

Guarding Baby's Eyes New-born babies cone into the world with relatively few defenses against disease germs, but science has devised a number of procedures to guard the infant, and particular- ly his eyes, against infection. . Eye infections - in the new-born are caused by harmful bacteria'en- cc .untcred when the baby passes .through the mother's birth canal.: '''i'17._' -When infected, the delicate tissue that lines the lids ' and covers the eyeballs — calleii the conjunctiva• — becomes inflamer and discharges pus. Silver 'nitrate, '• .nd in sd'me cases penicillin oint- ment, two drugs which are routinely :applied a few minutes after birth its >rder to prevent infection, have ,)roved extremely elf -alive in reduc- ing incidences of blindness. How- ever, they sometimes cause -irrita- tion to the sensitive eye membrane. .Recently two scientists tested two different eye aintments on 1,225- in- fants at the Sacred Heart Hospital in South Dakota. One contained t erramycin and the other contained t erramycin in combination with another antibiotic, polymyxin -B. The new ointments were just as effective against harmful bacteria as'the silver nitrate: However, ac- cordirig to the doctors, nursery per sonnel "soon, prided themselves on being able to distinguish the differ- ence between the two Gigs as to -the effect on th babies' eyes." The. silvez nitrate treated eyes were reddened,' the scientism ported, and the babies kept 'f them closed for 3 or 4 days. But the eyes of the children treated with the an, i0 oint"meist'were bright, open ar : • from irritath n. 2••••••••—. ••••••••••••••• 47, Hudson Sedan Completely overhauled --New tires •' SAMUEL - CADE' The death occurred early Wed- nesday morning after a lingering illness of Samuel Cade, Cambria road, in his 88th year.

Youngsters have their own way of figuring ,, things out. For ex- ample, there's the case of two youngsters wanting to get into the arena to see the Young Canada hockey games but only one of them having, a ticket, which was a ticket good for all the games. He went in,,,,,.showed his ticket, then proceeded .to a ,side • door in the 'arena. There, by pre -arranged agreement, he _slipped his ticket under the door to the other young- ster waiting outside. This enabled the second youngster to come in on the. same ticket. A' •Casual observer noting the second young- ster peering intently at the bot- tom of the door and curious to know why he was apps ently watching "nothing" made it yesti- gatiens to find out the aforemen- tioned incident, Had the second youngster gone to the box office and said he just didn't have the money we wouldn't be surprised but that he would have been al- lowed to get in 'without paying— if- he just didn't have the money.

Goderich detaeorrient, Il Ontifi4 'P�rt,�ri'ncia' Police. ` Nostalgic veterans of` the sports world, which is well" populated 'with such folk, 'fre- quently lenient that in no sport do 'the moderns equal those of another era; for physical ruggedness, durability, and such indestructible qualities. The modern streamlined hockey with its fast .player -changes is frequently made a case to prove the point, and the absence of the old 60 -minute player` is mourned in floods of bathos. The platoon system of football is criti- cized as producing a breed of specialists. Even the horses,..e moan these relics of another sports age, don't run so fast as formerly. But most of all, these folk point to modern boxing, with its limited rounds, as a sport that has grown soft. They lament the days of fights -to -the finish, •of ferocity, violence; when con- '`` testants shoved stamina and the ability to withstand punish- ment. And, if that is true, we're very glad indeed .that things have chafiged. After Battling Nelson, the shell of • a -once-great athlete with the durability traditional of those rugged days of sport died in complete poverty, we dug into some ancient files • to refresh our memory on some of the Durable Dane's major bat- tles, ' particularly ,his long and vicious fight, with Ad. Wolgast. for the lightweight crown which Nelson then held. And in our search we .J;itMe` across a newspaper account of the fight,, which reported that it was "one of, the most grue- some,' merciless, heart -throbbing, vicious battles of all time and although Wolgast won he would never be himself again." . ,Nielson, so the story said, proved a punching bag for the young -German from Padillac, Mich. • "Nelson took a merciless pounding and after the fight his body and face showed .he had undergone a terrible ordeal." Nelson was declared loser, by' knockout in the 40th round. He was still on his feet, but blinded by his own blood, streaming down his face. And truly enough, as the writer forecast, Wolgast was never quite the same afterwards. He is now spending his de-, ,lining days in •an insane asylum, living in the hazy memories of his great ,days, and training for the "fight of tomorrow" that his punch-wreeked brain envisions. That was a fight, so we take it, typical of the era for which there ' mourn. Doubtless t sometimes nostalgic fis is veterans so g riLviere_..athietes of ,great courage in those day's, but, riot moil* so than today, in the fights of limited rounds, i ,here the accent is on skill and speed, if, Less' ori the durability.• :VOW commefits and suggestions for this column will be wel- comed by Ebner -Ferguson,.
