The dental science is one which

neglect their teeth regardless of the

well cared for. Many poor children
cannot afford to see the dentist

.of an opportunity afforded by the
'Lion's Club to have their decaying
,teeth attended to.
A great addition to this district
'has been the Lion's Swimming Pool,

been anxious about their children

the streets these days I have not,
iced that nearly every tree has had
several branches cut off at the
trunk. When a mild day comes the
sap is drawn to these wounds and
runs down the bark. This will cer-
tainly shorten the lives of the trees
it surely takes longer to cultivate
saplings than it does to paint over
the wounds of these trees and thus
protect their lives, In this indirect
way the Lions can prolong the lives
of the trees and at the same time
render an invaluable service to Sea -
forth."

GODERICH TOWNSHIP
Fire of undetermined origin com-
pletely destroyed the residence of
Charles Cooper, 9th concession of
Gcderich township, on Thursday af-
ternoon. There was no person horn)
when the fire broke out. Mrs. Coop-
er was ill in Clinton Public Hospital
and Mr. Cooper was calling there
during the afternoon. About 4
o'clock Mr. Steep, whose farm is di-
rectly across the road, saw the smoke
rising from the interior of the dwel-
ling
welling and summoning other neighbors
by phone hurried across. With their
united efforts some of the contents
of the lower storey were saved. The
fire had gained such headway, how-
ever, that the greater portion of the
downstair contents and all of those
upstairs fell prey to the flames,,
While nothing certain can be at-
tributed as to the origin, it is thought
that an overheated smoke flee 'or a
defective chimney may have been re-
sponsible,
Mr. and Mrs, Cooper are a young
married couple and since their mar-
riage have occupied the Cooper home-
stead where the present occupant wave
born. Much sympathy is felt for
them in the destruction of their
home. The loss, which is heavy, is
partially covered by insurance.
On the eve of her marriage last

cept these gifts, hoping they will
prove useful to you and that t'he'

enth concession. Wo all wish you a
very happy future and may you
have many years of wedded happi-
ness is the wish, el your friends and
