INSTITUTE HELD
OPEN MEETING
Rev: J. F.. Anderson Gave Address on
"Pioneering in New Ontario"
An open meeting of the Women's
Institutewas .held in the Council
Chamber on. Thursdayevening of last
week, with a splendid attendance. The
president, Miss M. Anderson, presid-
ed. Following the ,singing of the op-
ening. Ode, a very approapriate pro-
gram was presented.
The guest speaker was Rev. J. F.
Anderson, of the Wingham United
Church, who had chosen for his sub-
ject "Pioneering in New Ontario."
Rev. Mr: Anderson had been minist-
ering`for over eight years in Kirkland
Lake and was in a position to give
first-hand 'information, He paid high
tribute to the women who had gene
into that new country to make homes,
and of the terrible loneliness thatthey
had to contend with. He also told of
the privation endured by the Red
Cross Nurses, the doctors and also
the men of his own profession ,who
treated all these incidents as just or-
dinary routine of their every -day life.
Solos were rendered by Miss . Myra
MacDonald, accompanied by Miss
Marjorie Gibson, and George Hend-
erson, accompanied by Miss June Bu-
chanan; recitations by Mrs. Wm.
Scott and Mary Droumbolis and clog
dancing by Master Kenneth Crawford
accompanied by Miss Cora Phair.
-Geese Headed South
It was predicted that we would
have an open long fall season but the
wintry weather of Sunday and Mon-
day did not seem to bear this out.
Late Saturday and Sunday night the
geese could be heard overhead with
much honking and why they call
them geese when they' know enough
to get out of the cold, snowy weath-
er, is hard to explain. Let us hope,
though, that this winter spell is just
a flash in the pan and that we will
have the open ,long fall season as
predicted.

LOTS OF FUN
AT THE CARNIVAL
Cold Weather Kept Many Away.
The attendance at the Carnival and
Hallowe'en Frolic held in the Arena
on Tuesday night, under the auspices
of the Chamber of Cemmerce, in aid
of the Arena, was not as largely at-
tended as expected. The wintry at-
mosphere no doubt was the cause of
the small crowd but those who were
present had a real good time.
The parade of those in costume
drew many a laugh from the spectat-
ors and the judges, Mrs. A. M. Bishop
and Mrs. A. Peebles, had difficulty
in making :their decision in some of
the classes. The cutest outfit or; the
grounds was little Shirley Lloyd, un
der 7 years, dressed as a Red Cross
nurse with quintuplet dolls in a car-
riage.
The Blindfold Boxing was also a
source of much. merriment.
Following the judging of the con-
tests the games on the Midway had
their run and judging by the crowd
around the booths, are as popular as.
ever.
Dancing commenced at 10.30 and
to the tune. of Arthur's Radio Orch-
estra, all enjoyed this ancient pastime
until the closing hour of 1.a.m,

UN. CHURCH ANNIE
VERSARY SERVICES
Largo Congregations present to hear
Dr. T. Albert Moore, Toronto,
Secretary of United Culerch.
Despite the wintry blast on Sunday
splendid congregations were present
at both morning and evening services
in the United Church to hear the Rev,
T. Albert Moore. of Toronto deliver
the anniversary messages, Dr. Moore
is a former .moderator of the United
Church and is at present its secre-
tary. This was not Dr. Moore's first
visit to Wingham, his first visit be-
ing 54 years ago.. Twice before he
preached at anniversary services dur-
ing the ministry of Dr. Gifford and
the Rev. Richard Hobbs. Also in the
interests of the Lord's Day Alliance
he spoke here on the invitation of the
late Dr. Perrie, and four other times
he was a visitor here.
His morning address took the form
of a reminiscence, He told, of the
Remember the Dates days when he first started his min
This great selling event is for Two istry and said the lives . of our pa
ents and grandparents were a chat
enge to us to -day. We would do we
to read the Bible every day. But w
must not only look back but take a
inward look as we are responsibl
to the community for the preachin
of Jesus Christ. He asked what kin
of people would we be if we had no
a Christian Church. He asked, ar
we living up to the lives of our fath
ers and mothers, our grandparents
who laid the foundation? He told o
themany changes throughout th
years but some things have no
changed. God is the same yesterday
to -day and for ever. Jesus Christ i
forever the Son of God, the Saviou
of men, Whose life and death is the
atonement for our sins. The Bible
is still the Word of God and it is as
apt today to quote the word of God
aseit was then.
He named the Tasks of Life as fol-
lows: Mobilization of Christian forc-
es, Deepening of the Spiritual Effic-
iency in our lives; Apply the Chris-
tian principal in our relationship to
others. His text was 1 Corinthians
3:11 "For other foundations can no
man lay than that is laid, which is
Jesus Christ."
Dr. Moore's text for his evening
address was taken from The Acts of
the Apostles 4:12 "Neither is there
salvation in any of us: for there is
none other name under heaven given
among mets, whereby we must be sav-
ed." He told how great men of to-
day realized that jesus Christ is so
necessary for the salvation of the
world. President Roosevelt said:
"Jesus Christ is the Hope of the
World." Lloyd George said: "I be-
lieve the Christian religion alone will
solve the world's great problems."
Ramsay Macdonald said: "I believe
that Jesus Christ is the means of cur-
ing the Empire ills.", He told of the
effect of the Chrstian religion in the
Fiji Islands, how they had changed
from cannibals and all that implies,
to Christians with all that implies.
He also spoke of the wonderful in-
fluence of the Christian religion on
the people of India. He said Christ
always looked forward to victory.
Ask yourself the question "What is
my task?"
At the morning service the choir
sang "Exalt the Lord, your God",
and at the evening service "Who Fa-
thoms the eternal thought," Miss J.
Christie taking the solo part, and the
male quartette, E. Wilkinson, J. H.
Christie, A. Ramsay and J, Mitchell,
sang "I hear My Saviour Calling."
The guest soloist for these services

his selections: "Hear My Cry, Oh
Lord" by Wooler and "Come Unto
Me" by Roberts.

DENTIST SOCIETY
HELD CLINIC
Dr. Harold Box of Toronto, Guest
Speaker
Dr, Harold Box, noted dental' sur-
geon of Toronto, was the central fig-
ure in a dental clinic held wirer them
auspices of the Huron Dental Society'
in the rooms of Dr. Mabee, Goderich,.
Wednesday afternoon last week.
Dentists were present from Sea -
forth, Clinton, Kincardine, Zurich and
Wingham, as well as from Goderich,
to hear and see Dr. Box demonstrate
a new treatment for pyhorrhea.
While somewhat obscure to a lay-
man it was apparently of great in-
terest to the professional men pres-
ent, some of whom submitted them-
selves to the new treatment with as-
tonishing results.
The new method is the product of
research in New York and in Vienna
to which Dr. Box journeyed in order
to study. The basic idea is an injec-
tion of oxygen under some thirty
pounds pressure into the gums of the
patient and up around the roots of
the affected teeth. In the cases of
those dentists treated by Dr, Box
the results were immediate and re-
markable. Red inflamed gums showed
an amazing improvement in less than
ten minutes. .

servation. Other years the Teachers'
