given by relative
John Logan, who supplied
bricks. for the Sunset Hotel in
1902, as mentioned in _ a
Signal -Star story on September
2, is 'not to be passed by with
only that brief bit of history.
The Signal -Star artidle was read
by Mrs. John . See`, of
Islington, th - former Margaret
Huston,"a 'rice of Mr. Logan.
"The ogan family,'` she
writes t W. E. Elliott, "had a

Later again, he moved to Arcola,
Sask., and had another.
brickyard. It was here he met
and married Sarah Adeline Mills,
daughter of John Mills and,
Rebecca Callow -Hill; Mills,, who
pioneered near Auburn. (The
Callow -Hill family after coming
from Donegal, Ireland, dropped
the name Callow and were
known as Hill.)
"After John and'Addie' were
-married they came back to
Ontario and farmed for a 'short
time near Auburn, then moved
to' Brussels, where John Logan
operated a. chopping' mill for
many years, He died at the age
of 94 in January,. 4971, up to
which date he had not consulted
a doctor for 20 years, and it was
the first time for him to be in a
hospital or ,to receive a
hypodermic injection.

Student survey shows
teeth are neglected
Some alarming facts have
been revealed about the state of
health amon Canada's "young
lions."
A survey of 4,100 students at
a ' well-known Canadian
university in the 18 -24 -year
group showed a sad picture for ..
both sexes..
The oral health of the
student's 'in particular was bad.
Of the-students,,,9.2 per cent
were toothless and another 14.5
per cent were wearing dentures.
But if 'it's any consolation, the
examining physicians -.and
dentists say that the situation is
no worse than anywhere else in
North America.
Most, of the students came
from middle-class families with a
good standard of education.
They were. supposed to ' have
been taught the principles of
good health. It appears that the
principles never sank in.
There's a huge backlog of
dental defects that need
correcting, , but -even more
important, the survey shows that
there's a bigger job awaiting 1.
that of prevention. • .
In -ural and other • area of
health, better promotion of the
importance of good health, is
needed by the schools;"parents,
government and the health
professions. Let's all work
harder to protect ' our growing
lion clubs -- the wealth of our
nation.
