Illness and accident are always „with us
and it -would be folly to suggest otherwise.,
What we do find objectionable, however,
is,the glorification of violence' tor its own
sake - the motorcycle gang armed with
knives archains. In too many cases these
pictures have made idols of ignorance and
cruelty.
Men from time immemorial have found
it necessary at frequent intervals to
defend their homes and families. On most
occasions violence had to be opposed by
force - but at. least there Was an
understandable excuse.

-.Wingham Advance -Times
First off this week, I have
received a letter from Mrs. Jim
Taman of 197 Picton Street East
here in Coderich. .Mrs. Taman is
presently confined to hospital in
Rochester, Misinisota.
She writes that she is very
lonesome f r news from home
and would 'ke to •hear from.
some of • h -friends* and
neighbors. • •
I co n t a. c t\e d h e r
mother-in-lEiw, Mrs. s Taman ,
in Blyth, who told me iat Mrs.
Taman (the former S inore
Carrick) is expected to \have
surgery shortly and so, will be in •
h.ospital for awhile.
It would be wonderful if' the
ladies of Goderich (even those
who ° don't know Mrs. Taman)
would drop her a cheery line
even a greeting card. I'm sure it
'would be greatly appreciated.
• ,Her address ,is Mrs. Elinore
Taman,Methodist Hospital.
Rochester, Minnesota. • 55901.
USA --'Sixth floor, Room 627.
I had a'telephone call last
week. from Miss Lilly Blanchard.
the, one-wo an missionary
mailing service 1;1 e in Goderich.
Miss Blanchard ad Sed me that.
the; Signal Star had en much
to6 kind to •her in, t e article
which was printed .tw weeks
ago. She reminded me again of.
all -the wonderful people who
help her out.'
She also told me that since
the article appeared in the paper,
she has had some response from
people who want to assist in
some way. It is plain to see that
she is truly grateful to all,
I'm still wondering if some of
the women's groups in .town
wouI4, like to look into the
situation a little more and
perhaps make some joint .offer
of assistance to this wonderful
little lady. Sometimes if we all
get together, it is possible to do
so much withso .very little,
Please give it some thought,
ladies„

I've also been in touch with
Mrs. Aileen McGregor on S.
Davi.".,. who advises- me ,that*
Ole has girls registered for the
new Goderich 4-H Club.
'Besides that,* Mrs. McGregor
has turned down five girls and
very likely, there will be more
young ladies interested in 4-11
once the Club gets swinging.
For anyone who is interested
in homemaking, 4-H for -girls is
just wonderful. The training the
girls get is tremendous and I:
"know that Mrs. McGregor was
'zsorry to turn dpwn some of the
girls who wanted to join her
Club.
I -also know that for a Club to
really be effective,. the secret is
to keep it smell 10 girls is
plenty. Actually, it is about four
