Mr. Rasper (Leslie Elliott) a bull -dozing husband is fell up becatuse his wife's feelings are so easily in- jured, ‘Into the office comes, Mr. Meek (Chris. Gemeinhardt) who has decided to flee his wife's rasping tongue, the cause of the latest out- break being the fact that he lost her best umbrella.

Mrs. Meek (El- la McKay), is instilling her ideas re- garding the management of a hus- band into Mrs. Rasper, her favourite way of preventing a retort being, "Now,don't deny it! I can see" it iil your face." Pert, the maid (Maude Parker) who is exactly what her name implies delivers a letter to hen mistress. It is the letter her husband has written to her. She now sees the :folly el, her ways and: leaves with Mrs. Rasper. Into the scene walks the Irish butler, O'Neill, as stiff as a ramrod. Upon refusing to sit down at her invitation, Pert finally finds the reason. He has. the lost umbrel- la under his coat. Whenthe door- bell rings, Pert hides O'Nell and puts the umbrella in 'the stand. In walks Rasper looking for his wife. Then comes Meek with the umbrella which caused all the trouble, Then the two women arrive and differences are all smoothed out and even Pert is allowed to have O'Neill as a fol - GODERICH TOWNSHIP Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Welsh, Mrs: Albert Colclough, George Colclough Mid Mrs. W.

George Snell Native Of .Lucan Dies In British Guina From British Guiana's, inland jun- gles came word lash week of the death of Dr. Fred• J. Fox, Boston and New York scientist, and the safety of other members of an" expedition searching for Paul Redfern, long missing United States aviator. Redfern vanished in 1927 while fly- ing from the United States to South America. Since his disappearance reports have trickled out of the jun- gle from time to time that he surviv- ed and has been living since as a "white god" with an Indian tribe in the interior. Dr. Fox was a member of the J.T. Waldeck party searching for the mis- sing man. He was a son of the late John Fox, 'former manager of the old Standard Bank in Lucan. He grew' up in that village and after at- tending school there, attended the University of Western Ontario. • Later he attended Toronto.;' Uni- versity where he graduated pr medi- cine. He was a specialist in derma- tology and practised in Boston and then in New York City for the past several years. In his work in. New York he became a close friend of J. T. Waldeck and consented to join the expeditionin search of Redfern. His wife has re- mained in New York City, 'Relatives in Western Ontario are his sisters, Misses Agnes and Rober- ta Fox, both of Lucan; Mrs. William Elliott; Centralia, and Mrs, Emery Smith, Windsor. Feb. 14th, 1888 that Miss Lucinda Lake, daughter of the late bir. and. Mrs. Wm. Lake of the 9th .con, of Grey became the bride of Mr. John King, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

During the afternoon and evening about 90 relatives, friends and neighbors cal - ed ° to extend their congratulations and best wishes. Mr. W. E. Willis of Gowanstown, assisted in receiving tate guests. During the afternoon and evening a dainty lunch was served. —Brussels Post, HARDLY 'COMPETITORS The printed word is so far ahead of the radio as an advertising Hied- ium that they are hardly yet even competitors. And one of its advan- 'tages is that it can be read and re- read and kept for reference. •Thelat- est statistics reveal that there are only 6,368 households in Canada - in which a newspaper does not enter, On the other hand, among the same 2,252,729 households there are 1,- 198,628 without radio receiving sets. Ontario has more radios than any other province but even here there are 391,167 homes without them. The other provinces have correspondingly fewer radios. It always pays to read advertising carefully and to buy ad- vertised goods.—Listowel Banner. AN ADDED HONOR East Wawanosh mourns the loss of a well-known and highly respected resident in the person of George Wil- liam Snell, who passed away at his (tome, concession 3, East Wawanosh, on. Wednesday morning, Mr. Snell was seized by a stroke on Sunday morning, from which he did not sur- vive. In his 50th' year, Mr. Snell was born in Londesboro, a son of the late George Snell anti Jane Bradford. On September '28,1.916, he was married to Mabel McDowell who predeceased him 18 years. ago: Mr. Snell was con- nected with the C. P. R. for many years, being agent at Guelph Junc- tion, Thorold, Goderich, Moncton and McGaw, but following the death of hi8 wife he retired from railway ser- vice and carte to farm on the home- stead in East Wawanosh, three miles north of Auburn. Mr. Snell was a member of the Or- ang'e'Lodge end Royal Scarlet Chap- ter, and Past Master and Royal Arch of Blyth Masonic Lodge, and was a valued member of Westfield United church, where his passing will be deeply mourned, and also in this stu- rounding community in which he al- ways took an active interest in social and religious welfare. For some years Mr. Snell conduct- ed a produce business here, but was compelled to give up this work on ,aa count of ill health.

Here this has been the case also. Frank Edgar, Leopold Street, during the thaw last week had several cro- cuses blooming. The cold weather which followed spoiled this bloom but Sunday's rain again brought forth bloom,—Winghan Advance -Times. Besides their countless• acts of im- portant business the. Listowel Town Fathers have another item thrust up- on their shoulders. They have now . had conferred upon them the honor of destroying and burying the "neigh - bora" dogsand cats. To rid the streets of stray animals the Council some time ago installed a pound in G. Walker's blacksmith shop. The proprietor was to act as keeper and administer the chloroform to all un- claimed inhabitants. Recently an ac- count was presented to the Council for "burying charges" and it seemed so excessive an investigation was made. It revealed citizens having learned of the pound brought all their unwanted dogs and cats to the keeper who carried out the execution, ar- ranged for the burial and then pre- sented the account to the unsuspect- ing Council. However, in the future a charge will he made for this oblig- ing service.—Listowel Banner, HURON COUNTY FRUIT -GROWERS • The annual meeting of the. Huron County Fruit Growers' Association. will be held in the agricultural office, Clinton, on March 18th. W. A.

Sterling of Goderich Township.—Goderich Signal -Star. WHAT A RELIEF Roy Finnigan, Dungannon, met with an accident of a peculiar nature four and a -half months ago. While working in the bush he fell and suf- fered a dislocated vertebra. It did not seem alarming until a few days afterwards, when the trouble was dis- covered. During all this time his nock has been in a cast and although this was very awkward he was al- ways able to go about and in other ways felt all right. At the end of the week he motored to London in company with Mr. Ronald Pentland, who was making a business trip, and after examination by a specialist at Victoria Hospital Roy was released from his bonds, but will not be per- mitted to do any work for a month or more.—Goderich Signal -Star. THEIR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Last, Monday, there was quietly celebrated at their home •in Ethel, the Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. John King, who were married an Tuesday, Feb. 14th, 1888,' It 4183 Carelessness Of Rate? During 1936 enough people died as the result of accidents to make a com- munity the size of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The Vital Statis- tics Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics has made an interesting study of accidental deaths and, one wonders if a large number of them could nothave been avoided. Nearly all the accidental deaths of children under -one year of age were. due to some form of suffocation, ei- ther while sleeping with the parents or when the child rolled over on its face or was smothered in the bed clothes. In one ease a cat slept on the little victim's face. Deaths due to burns, especially scalding with hot liquids, took the next greatest num- ber. Small in stature but ceaseless in activity, children from one to four years old, can certainly find a num. ber of ways to get into trouble, Burns ranging from hot liquids to grass fires headed the list. Eating poison- ous pills and such preparations, fal- ling into wells or shallow water, run- ning into automobiles or falling from balconies or chairs are all part of the list. One little fe•.low was strangled by buggy harness. The school age takes children away from home and naturally most of the accidental deaths are caused from ve- hides such as automobiles and street cars. Drownings are frequent and When firearms are played, with some, thing serious is bound to happen. • Twice as many boys as girls, between the ages of 6.: and 14 are taken by 1 the Grim Reaper in accidents. Adult deaths are the result of ac- cidents scidents in which some form of trans- portation is concerned more than. any- (' thing else. Drownings also take a heavy toll. But as people pass the l 70 -year mark, they are more subject to accidents in the home such as those due to falling or to being burnt. Strangely enough, there were more women fatally injured over 70 years of age than. men. The opposite was the case under 70 years of age. Of the 6,351 deaths due to acciden- tal causes, 780 of them were ane to the unusual heat 'leave in: July, mainly in Manitoba and. Ontario. Whether these people were the vic- tims of carelessness or supposedly to fate ,we do not know, but wiping out a whole city within the period of one year seems to be a terrible waste of human life. • THAT WAS ENOUGH Would -Be Employer "Have you any references?"
