Back in the years that began with the organization of the Brodhugen Brass Band in 1901. Mr. Mueller often had the bandsmen t'or village hand practices in Itis shoemaker's shop, and the veterans of the band still stop in to chat with hint in his elm, where he has been active as a shoemaker un- til the past two years.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I wonder how many of our Sons. and Daughters of Canada know bony Canada was given the title "Domin- iop" The story is an intriguing lit- tle historical item, and is, indeed, very appropriate at this time, In the year 1.861 (my 5th year) re- presentatives from va1'ious British Colonies which ai'e now our ,Canadian Provinces sat around a table in Lon- don, England, to work out and plan a Constitution for Canada, they could not agree on what to call the new station, The Canadian delegates want- ed to call it a "Kingdom", but the British thinking of the American ltevolution they were afraid that this might offend the Americans. So that evening Sir Leonard Tilley, a Canadian, before retiring opened his Bible to read a chapter as he had always done before retiring, 'this night he was to read the 72nd psalm and as he came to the eighth verse he stopped and re -read the verse, then he said to himself, "I have found it, I have found it in that verse in this Good Book", "Ile shall have do- minion from sea to sen and from the river to the end of the earth". The following morning . as they gathered around the table Sir 'Leon- ard Tilley said, "Honourable Gentle- men, I have found a word that we could not agree upon, last night for Canada, our new nation, and I found it in the "Book of Books, that Good old BIBLE". He then opened his Bible and read the whole 'Psalm, and then said, "I have found it in verse IBIGHT, and he repeated the verse over and over, and then said, "Hon- oured Gentlemen, it'is the word "D'0 - MINION" and it can be made to read "THE D0'MINION OF CANADA", they all agreed to this with many re- marks from all- the members and thanked Sir Leonard Tilley most sin- cerely for his finding of the word. Then .Sir-. Tilley repeated, "Frons the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the River St. Lawrence to the Norbh Pole". So "The DOMINION of CANADA" was adopted breaking what : might have been 11 serious deadlock. Now what is happening at our Cap- ital? Our Government is doing away with this word "DOMINION" a word so near to the heart of all true 'Can- adians, and very precious, indeed, ,to all of us, therefore, I say, "No SUR- RENDER" to the word "DOMINION" let us still call it "THE DOMINION of CANADA". Very' sincerely, Wm. Murray. The Voice Of Temperance Alcoholism has made the headlines very frequently of late, "OPEN DISCUSSION ON ALCOHOLISM MEETING FEATURE." That was a reference to the Canadian Confer- ence on Social work being held in Toronto in June. Members of the le- gal and medical professions, a prison psychologist, a clergyman, an educat- or and a social worker described each his method of meeting problems pos- ed by alcoholics. Very recently the Society 'for Dentistry for children, meeting in Toronto, had Dr. Bell, medical director of Toronto's Shad- owbrook Health Foundation, address then on alcoholism. The same speak- er gave a lecture on the same sub- ject last fall in Convocation Hall at a meeting sponsored by the Royal Canadian Institute. The people at large are evidently awakening to the gravity of this health menace. Alco- holism is the fourth mest deadly di- sease in the world, according to the findings of the World Health Organ- ization. France, a beer and wine country, ranks second in the number of alcoholics per 100,000 of popula- tion. The population of Hamilton, Ontario, is less by Some 40,000 than the number of alcoholics we have in Canada. The combined populations of Owen 'Sound, Stratford and Wood- stock does not equal the total num- ber of alcoholics we have in Ontario. These are startling statistics. The On- tario Government is concerned, for it plans to set up 22 Clinics in Ont- ario for the treatment of alcoholics. --Advt. TRUES. PRI: & SAT.
