"HOW WE CAN IMPROVE OUR
TOWN in APPEARANCE & HEALTH"
The Two Prize Essays for Which Dr. W. D. S. J'ana:e2ces
Offered Prizes at the Brussels Fall Fair to Pupils
of the Brussels Continuation School are Given
Below
FIRST PRIZE
"Everyone enjoys touring throuel.,
ealean healthy towns. If the towns
are kept clean in appearance, they
are healthy towns to live in, but we
could improve our town in appear-
ance and health in various ways.
We, ourselves could improve the
appearance and health of our town
by keeping the yards around our
domes neat ena ;lean, and by keep•
ing the ' r s cut, as long grass and
dirty v rslt rte not look healthy. 1f
garbage is let a:rami on nee been
yards to i; c • ,;nh, ;.'thy and give,
a dirty appear me•e.
Our town could 'oe improved
greatly if we had a clement paved
road. Th- '-quid be healthier r es
the duet cotticl be l'ept down I•:
spra}inz it e-.1•ryd.y. T)s:r road
would ' •.r. o,r town in health
and are r.entnee.
Our perk eonid be another ii:t-
provement in our town. It is not
healthy standing out in the scorch••
ing sun, watching an interesting
game as we might take a sun stroke.
If we had shade trees around the
toark and some benches under these
for the specti.tors to sit on,
it would improve our town in health
and appearance.
Our town could be improved
greatly if we bad a cod covered
skating rink, instead of a little posed
made out in the open. Skating
would develop our muscles anis
makes us healthy. This would im.
prove our town in health and ap-
pearance.
If we had more factories in our
town they would improve it in ap-
pearance and they would make the
town look industrial. There are a
great many men out of employment
sand therefore they are not out in the
fresh air enough and are unhealthy.
If. there were factories, the men
would be out in the fresh air and
they would be healthy, so therefore
more factories would improve our
town in appearance stud health.
Nearly everyone enjoys a good
game of tennis. If we had a large
tennis court, we could improve our
town. There could be grass; sown
and the court rolled, and the court
could be made beautiful. This is a
. good healthy game and it develops
our muscels and makes us healthy.
The tennis court would improve our
'town in appearance an•1 health.
If we had a recreation grounds.
• we could improve our town in ap-
pearance and health. Here, there
could be swings put up for the child-
ren and benches and seats for the
•older people. This recreation
:grounds would make us healthy and
develop our town.
There are many other ways our
town could be improved in health
and appearance if we had all the
money necessary for the improve.

SECOND PRIZE
How true is the saying "There is
.alw.sys room for isnprovenent" 1
Improvement may be made and yet
there is still room for snore improve-
ment;. Many changes In the way of
bettering the condition of our town
have been made within the last ten
years : yet there are still some
needful improvements required.
I'nprre e in mar mind must rise
the neer • of following the old
time -tris 1 and titre -proven provers.
L anl'nese is next to godliness."
Ir s ' our town
o irl } _•
the i) ;,•for a needful
cleaning -up. Rubbisa of all kinds
shostld be gathered together and
burnt. Inhere there are heaps of
rubbish and refuse ,`here is always
art. 'e, lie di. n^se. Nnt only should
we be more cleanly a.hout the out -1
side 2,,.earance of your home but
the, 'nteriee
of your dwelling i= rerupulausiy
clean. The ambition to help others
Should not be l -eking among us. Ti'
in helping
to keep -clean and above
reproach we can thus better the con•
dition of our town, we should not
Hesitate to do so.
Where dirt accumulates there
also will disease accumulate. Pis
ease is the close companion of dirt
s heal•
filth o all kinds. Thu. nn e
andf
thy environment in the home will
inevitably prove the forerunner of
disease. Knowledge is both euro
and prevention. Every family
should employ a teacher of health,
and should trust only the physician
who can be that. Of course not
every family can afford so great an
expense but every family should
contrive to call in a doctor at least
once every year. However when dis-
ease attacks us we should immediat-
ely call a doctor and ascertain the
nature of the disease. We should see
that parties contracting contagious
diseases be quarantined if necessary,
the attendingh ieia It d n-
ly right ifwe t
wish tosafeguard the
health and welfare of the remainder
of our town people.
Rules of etiquette should ;;e dis-
regarded where our food is envolved.
Plain and substantial food is best in
every case, and if this does not con-
form to the taste of any indisiduai
he or she should at once see a med-
ical doctor. Style should be disre-
garded for there are many fancies
and whims of this so-called style,
that may prove detrimental to
our health.
Relaxation makes a long life, con-
centration makes a strong one. It
we do not concentrate on our work'
whether in school or in office we
may so well be far away from the
scene of our supposed activity.
More of us in this town should fol-
low the rule—"Work while you
work, play while you play." There is
a time for everything, and recrea-f
tion and relaxation should at certain
times be indulged In, The tendency
of town people is to boeome indol-
ent and exercise should ploy a more
prominent pert in the scheme of ear
life than it aloes, Walking should be
indulged in more frequently be,
cause it brings into play end into ex -
exercise many of the muscles tbot
would otherwise reniain idle. The
Canadian Gisit in Training Band go
on hikes .once in a while but not Pear-
ly so ofteu so they might. Many of
the Cadets in the Continuation Solt
ool de not care for so m,ueh stren-
nous exercise as they are require°
to go through each year. Would they
not be more ready to comply with
this training if they could look for-
ward to a couple of weeks .eamping
during the summer months?
Healthy amusements is one form
of religion. Every church should be
open every day of the week ; for
meditation, teaching, and the com-
'forting of those distressed. More in-
ducement in the way of competition
should be held forth in the Lnunties
of our town for more regular at-
tendance on the part of the young
people.
Now, during the summer months,
a baseball team should be organized
among the young men of our town.
This would be a means of keeping
them out of the pool room and other
places of unhealthy amusement dur-
ing the summer menthe. The girls
also should form a soft -ball team
and compete with the neighboring
ing town and village teams at the
various Field Days during the sum-
mer months. The space that shouhl
form a rink should also be utilized
during the summer for tennis. Now
some of the people uo play tennis
there, but not nearly so many as
should play. Then during the winter
months a rink should be the gather-
ing place for the young t> enjoy
hockey and skating. A few years
ago the Young People's Society and
the Literary Society gave skating
parties which added greatly to the
enjoyment of that time. However in-
terest waned and there has been no
rinks, in the sme manner interest
has died in all sports in 'summer in
this town. Now, why could we not
be like other towns and form sports
committee? An athlete cares for
himself. There is a 'wholesomeness,
mental and moral, in a well-groom-
ed physique. A spiritual under-
standing of the purpose of life and
a moral determination to do better
and achieve it, is greatly to be de-
sired.
We would greatly beautly the ap-
pearance of our town by planting
more flowers, as some of our citizens
have done and more of joining the
Horticultural Society. Flowers add
to the joy of living and are a great
sense of joy to the sick and iepress-
ed. If we have a true understanding
we can surely see in the beauty of
the flowers, and, in fadt, in all
beautiful things of :Mature, the work
lof God's hand. Therefore let us
strive to make our town much more
beautiful and by doing a little need-
ful cleaning and planting make it a
better place to live in.

Two men, father and son, lost
their lives by suffocation yesterday
morning while drilling for water in
an abandoned well on the farm of
Sidney Snell, situated on the town
line between. • feTl'orne and Biddulph
townships. Down 30 feet below the
earth's surface James Flynn, 00, and
Francis, 82, of Crediton, went to
their deaths as natural gas fumes
first overcame the father and then
snuffed out the life of the son as he
struggled vainly to rescue his fath-
er. The double tradndy was discov-

en Huron and Middlesex counties.
Examination of the equipment be-
ing used by the men to drill the well,
which had gone dry, showed that
some, time during the morning the
cable on the plunger broke and it
presumed the father descended to
the bottom of the well to make re-
pairs. Just how long he remained
down before the gas fumes first ef-
fected him is a matter of conjecture,
as the men were alone at the time.
That he may have called to his son
that he was in difficulty, or the lat-
ter noting the length of time his fa-
ther stayed down in the well, then
lowered himself, can only be pre
sumed.
RESCUERS HANDICAPPED
The dozen farmers who responded
to the call .for help by Mr. Snot'
when' he discovered the tragedy,
were hampered in recovering the bo
dies because of the deadly fumes.
Working frantically, in the hopes
that the men might be alive, an at-
tempt was made to lower Patrick Mc-
Gee, Jr., Biddulph farmer, into the
well by means of a rope. Fearing
that he, too, might succumb, he was
raised to the surface and the little
band of farmers was forced to use
the grabbing irons to recover the
bodies. First the body of the son,
who weighed 260 pounds, was
brought up
and then that of the
fa-
ther.
As soon as word went out that
the menwere in the bottom of the
well Dr. F. S. Kipp, of Granton, was
called and he reached the Snell farm
before the bodies bad been recover-
ed. Discoloration of the faces had
already set in when their lifeless
forms were brought up, Incl from
this the physicians calculated that
the father and sen had been dead
for about an hour. On the basis of
assumption the men had died about
11 o'clock.
NO INQUEST '
Dr. W. E. Weeps, coroner of Ex-
eter, viewed the bodies before they
were removed after consulting with
Huron County Crown officials de-
cided that an inquest was not nec-
essary,
Soon after the coroner arrived
the bodies were taken to the fatner
and son's respective homes at Cred-
iton.
Among the farmers who assisted in
recovering the bodies were Mr.
Snell, wlto owns the farm ; John
Welihan, Patrick McGee, Sr., and
Patrick McGee, Jr„ a Mr. O'Hearn
and others residing in the locality
where the tragedy occurred. Though
it was necessary to motor some
miles to procure the grappling irons
little more time was lost in the efforts
to reach Mr. Flynn and his son,
The farm is known in the Bid-
dulph and Usborne district as the
Patrick Kehoe farm. Kehoe was tSie
first owner 'of the land. It has been
without a tenant for a number of
years and was given over mainly to
pasture lands.
Owing to the unusual period of
drought experienced by all farsnets
this season which resulted in hund-
reds of wells drying up. Mr. Snell
was among the farmers obliged to
haul water for cattle. With the
shortage acute he had hired the,
Flynns to bore in the abandoned
well, and they had been engaged nt
this work for many weeks. Exper-
ienced well driller, the father and
son, residents of Huron county,
were widely known,
James Flynn is survived by his
widow and one daughter, while
Francis Flynn la survived by his wi-
dow. Both were members of the
United Church of Canada.
