TIM FAVORS OLD BOYS
REUNION
To the Editur av all thim
Wingharn Paypers.
Deer Sur:—
I am just afther hearin that some
ay the lads arround town do be tink-
in ay gittin up an Ould Byes' an Quid
Girruls Sillybrashun fer nixt year.
'Tis a good oidea intoirely. so it is,
but ivirybody shud be willin to hilp
wid it in ordher to make it a rale sue-
ciss, an we can't git shtarted too
soon, fer, shure, it manes a lot av
plannin an wurruk to do the ting
roight. Lishts hey to be made out ay
all the payple who hey moved away
from Wingham durin the lasht fifty
years, an invitashuns sit thim askin
thim to come an her the toime ay
theer loiyes wid us nixt summer. The
missus is gittin ixcoited about it al-
ready, an wants me to buy another av
than wondherful Chisther bids from
the Fry & Blackhall byes, so that we
kin shtow away Katie an Mora an
their husbands an childer, comfortably.
I harrudly tink me ould brother Matt
will come all the way from Alberta,
fer I hear he is gittin purty shtiff in
the legs; an mebby vaudn't bike to
thrayel so far, but I intind to wroite
him a shtrong letther urgin him to
come, fer I wanf ?to her a talk wid
him an throy to foind out what ray -
son he kin *give fer tavin the Tory
parthy an votin wid then U. F. O's.
I don't tink he kin give wan, but,
shure, I want to hear what he has to
say fer eilmsilf, annywa.y.
Ay coorse ye know that the girruls
an timer naM -wint crazy too, an hey
been yotin U. F. A. the same as ould
Matt., but I tink from the letthers
they hey been wroitin lately that they
are beginnin to tink- that they made
a mistake in lavin the Tory parthy,
an either the missus has a few talks
wad thim I belaye they will be all
roight fer the nixt elickshttn, but Matt
is a harrud lad to perswade, an I
sometoimes fale bike crackin a shit-
Ielah over his shtubborn ould head.
If I kin git him to come I musht git
Jarge Shpotton to her a talk wid him,
an that will convince him ay the er-
ror av his ways if anyting will, fer,
shure, he will be as plazed as a fellah
wid a. new grane nicktoy on the sivin-
teenth av March, to hey a number av
Parleynaint talk wid him.
A lot av fellahs who wus good Tor-
ies whin they lift Nort Huron, but
who hey gone wrong since, owin to
bad company, will be down frum the
Wesht nixt summer, an it will be the
dooty av all us Tories to give thine
some sound sinsible talks, an show
thin that now that toimes do be git-
tin good again, wid lashins av money
rowlin into the Governmint chist at
Ottawa, 'tis the Tories that shed hey
the shpinclin av it. What chance is
theer fer anny Tory to git a good
payin contract as long as thim Grits
an U. F. O's. her the rennin ay tings?
Yis, we musht her a' sillybrashun
nixt summer, an we musht shtart to
git ready fer it widout delay, an kape
at it all eyinther an nivir shtop wur-
rukin fer it. An in the Shpring all
the -wimmin will nade to git theer
house clainin 'acme airly, an the min
git theer back yards put in ordher, an
garden planted an house painted, so
that the ould town will look its punt -
lest whin the visitors come. Iviry
door musht be trown woicte open, an
iviry table shpread wid the besht in
the house, so that no wan will nade to
shlape on the soidewalk arr go hengry
in Winghain at that toime.
An now jesht wan wurrud more.
Let us hey clane shport, an lots av it,

BRIGHTER CHILDREN,
Inch Taller and Pound Heavier Than
Pre -War Child of Same Age, -
Children bore in logo and mane-
ined in 1925 were found to be, on an
average, an inch teller and g poling
heavier than the normal pre-war
child of the same age,. This increase
in height and weight is most notice-
able among slum children, and simi-
lar improvement is also seen in old-
er children,
Even if their parents are poor
specimens, babies are generally born
healthy. It is bad feeding rather than
anything else .that makes them rick-
ety and deformed, and two other
causes of bad health among the little
ones are overhrowding and dirt.
Leave a child te these conditions
until it has arrived at school age and
the damage is done, but the great
value of the work now performed by
the Medical Department of the Brit-
ish Board of Education is that enil-
dren are supervised from ibirth. For
instance, at Acton each child is seen
by the health visitors on an average
six times a year until it is five years
old. Then if anything is wrong pro-
per medical attention is given.
For adenoids the child is operated
upon, for a squint it receives the
right sort of speetaelese One child
will be treated for 'ear trouble, an-
other for rickets, and so on.
Supplies of milk are arranged for,
and Welfare Clinics teach young
mothers how to keep their children
comfortable, clean,- and healthy. Such
dirt diseases as ringworm are being
gradually overcome.- Rickets is fast
disappearing, and so are the severer
forms of deformity and crippling.
There eee now about five million
children attending public elementary
selisees in, Eng'and and Wales, of
vshem 4.28,449 are receiving special
medical attention. About half of
theze are being treated for eye trou-
ble and 185,000 for enlarged tonsils
or adenoids,
School nurses inspect the children
frequently. Th oe:nally make over
thirteen and a halt million separate
'nsucctions, yearly, The result is
th-,t the number of unclean children
is falling steadily an5 also that the
little ones are less lleble to infec-
tious diseases. Open-air schools have
been started, arid the children edu-
cated in- these areeshowing remark-
able freedom from zolde.
One of the best things done for
the health of children is the organ-
izing of games and, the supply of ap-
-erafue for playing games. In Lon-
don, for instance, the Council recent-
ly made a free issue to all schools of
kit -sacks containing four footballs,
twelve rubber balls, thirty-two yards
of skipping rope, and four sets of
-team colors.
The Liverpool school authorities
spend 21,000 a ,year on ,footballs,
cricket bats, balls, stumps, knd BO
on, and the boys are encouraged to
make stumps, rounder bats, football
posts, and so on for their own use.
The Leeds School Football Associa-
tion has seventy-six school teams
which play no fewer than 840
matches during the season.
Swimming is taught in many
schools, and the nuznber of children
who can swim well is increasing. On
an average there are tve outdoor
lessons weekly in each school, and the
good they are doing is wonderful.
IN IVIEMORIA1VI
Earl—In loving memory of Robert
Earl, beloved husband and father,
who departed from this life Sept,
7th, 1927.
The one we loved is now at rest,
His fond, true heart is still.
The one that would have helped us
most
Now lies in Death's cold chill.
No one knows the silent heartache,
Only those who have lost can tell
Of the grief that is borne in silence
For the one that we loved so well,
--Wife and Family.
GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S CARS.
Only Plate They Carry Is Coronet of
iscount. *
Whenever the cars of Governor-
General Viscount Willingdon stop a
crowd gathers and looks them over.
Both of Viscount Willingdon's cars
are landaulettes, and both are on 25
hp, six cylinder chassis. Some of
their special features are interesting.
No number plates are provided, but
both at the front and rear of each
car a small plate is fitted carrying
in gilt relief the coronet of a vis-
count. On tleeerear doors of each car
is Viscount Willingdon's crest. On
each side of the front pillars is fitted
a special nickel -plated holder and rod
to which can be attached a small flag
when his Excellency is in the ear.
These flags are not used Otherwise.
There is also a small red light mount-
ed at the top and on either side of
the wiedshield,. These lights are in-
stalled so that his Excellency's car
may be easily *distinguished at night.
Queen Maud ot Norway, recently
purchased an enclosed drive limousine,
with the same type chassis as those
of Viscount Willingdon's cars and
H. R. H. Prince Henry recently pur-
chased a straight eight limousine of
the eami make. •
Incidentally marry of the best car
producers in England and Europe
provide closed models with leather
upholstering. The front seat is ad-
justable, the net and entire division
sliding backwards or forwards, by a
simple lever movement to the posi-,
tion desired. ea

CAMELS FOR CANADA?
"'Ship ofe Desert" May Again Wan
• Western Plains.
Thousands of -years ago camels troi
the North American Continent wiles
the greater part of it was a desert
we are told. Years later an attempi
W4f.,, made to have theta supplant al;

to ailifornia in 1849, and now, an
.- other -attempt is under way to intro,
duce them in Western Canada, as
substitute for the time-honored alret
horse, and novel scenes soon may b'
witnessed on farms in the vicinity o:
Rosthern, Sash.
Believing camels superior Co tie
best draft horses in flip Dominion, t
group of Rosthern far:lets, native.:
of Northern Russia, has evolved
plan to bring fifty to one hundrec
camels to Western Canada to be used
in agricultural work, says a Canadiai
Frees despatch. This group hal
sought the co-operation of the Fed
erel Government in obtaining ,per
mission from the Soviet leovernmen"
to purchase the ancient beasts o:
burden in the Saratov district, in thi
Volga region. ;
In 'the. gold rush of the early day:
the camels proved unsuccessful xx
competition against the pram(
sch6oner. They were turned loose it
the Arizona desert, and it is reportec
that descendants of the gole-rusT,
beasts still wander over the paths ca
the desert. The Rosthern farmers
however, do not leek for the failure
of their venture.

Camels are said, to be much cheoe,
er to maintain than horses. They can
work longer -hours, require less food,
are fast walkers, and are in their
printe when fifty years of age. An
other saving would be in harness
Only a very crude, home-made con.

eanimals to aid in working their
ds
Commenting on the plan, the
Winnipeg Tribune,, in a recent edi-
torial, said:
If the Russian camels are brought
into Saskatcheavan, they will be com-
ing home again. True, they have
been a long time absent, perhaps a
thousand years.
. According to authoritative state-
ments, the North American Continent
was their original habitat. The first
camels, or camel -like animals, says
the authority quoted from, lived in
North America man3r thousands oi
years ago, when the larger part of the
continent was a desert. When the
climate grew more humid, and the
forests grew, these animals migrated.
Some crossed Siberia into Asia—
via solid land, where is now Bering
Strait—and others ,weent to Sontk
America, where they are now known
as llamas.
The proposal of camel immigration
Is a novel one. But no doubt those
who want the interesting and, in cir,
enmstances, useful animal know -
where it will fit in between the horse
and tractor, aa. a draft animal el
economical upkeep and suitable fot

Animal War Dead.
To the animal war dead, a me-
morial; the first of its kind, is being
established at Wanstead, England.
It will be in the form of a large sena
-
'Writ= for the treatment of horses*
mules, dogs, eats, monkeys, goats,
pigeons and canaries, representing
the principal animal and bird life
which met death in service. No do-
mestic animal or bird, however -will
be refused treatment.
King's Bromley Sold.
At public auction the village of
King's Bromley, the home of Lady
Godiva, who, according to legend,
rode through Coventry clad pray in
a wealth of hair to relieve the vil-
lagers of a burdensome tax, MS been
sold. The sale marks the passing of
another of the ancient landed estate*
of England.

A, PIRATE ISLE.
Dead Man's Chest Was an Island of
, the Virgin GrouP.
The sea -going Of the Pirates with
its weird refrain of "Fifteen men on
the dead Man's Ohest" which Robert
Louis Stevenson introduces Into his
famous book "Treasure Island" is in
part at least authentic end was sung
by the pirates and buecaneere who
taueereie.
dsthe Caribbean Sea in the late
seventeenth and early eighteenth oen-
l)earlMagroup,lfsChest
wwhasi eb
an la nde eonf
theVirgin
christened "Dead Chest Island,"
thereby losing much of its Piratical
flavor. To this bland the pirates
used to repair, to careen their ships,
stretch their legs, drink rum, sing
their buccaneering songs and -make
merry after their own fashion.
Curiouely enough there its a little
church on the Malian coast which is
obviously built of ship's timbers, Re-
cently a traveller of an inquiring
mind, reasoning that if the church
were built of ship's timbers, the bell
would also come from a ship, deter-
mined to investigate, A climb among
the rafters did not reveal the name
of the ship as he had hoped, but
rounl the edge of the bell were in-
scribed the wads, "Fifteen men on
the dead man's chest."
All that the clergyman knew was
that the ehurch bell game from a ship
that was wrecked in 1722, which was
just the time when the West Indies
,yere getting hot for pirates, and
aany were being driven into the
Pacific.
OVR TOES.
We Cannot Yet Afford to Dispense
Ninth Them.
The most perfectly formed feet are
found among savages., Civilization
'ends to compress the feet, spoiling
he shape of the toes and in many
.teses actually deforming them. Orig-
eially intended to be used as asort
of second set of Angers, the toes still
play a prominent part in the lives of
many natives. Indian craftsmen, for
instance, hold a tool between their
toes with an ease almost equal to
handling it.
Amongst the more advanced peo-
ples, however, this use of the toes is
completely obsolete, and in another
hundred years our toes may be out
of work. In the meantime, however,
we most certainly, have a use, though
limited, for our toes. On them we
largely depend for the balance of our
bodies, the spring of our walk. If
we were toeless, every step would be
a jar. For cycling, football, dancing,
to name but three instances, toes are
practically essential. In theM we
carry about with us a sliding ,lever
more delicate than any science could
devise, which helps us to keep our
balance. Decidedly, we cannot yet
afford= to dispense with our toes.
Praying for Rain.
Many countries hold odd ceremou-
,
ies to end drought. The Chinese take
their dragon god around in a proces-
sion, and beat him soundly when he
ignores their prayers for rain. The
Bantus of DeIegoa Bay sing songs at
their dried-up wells and make moth-
ers who have twins earry the chil-
dren-eg..round the parched fields. In
Greece they send children marcinne
round all the wells and springs, un-
der the leadership of a girl adorneu
with =flowers, who sings at each -
lag pla.ce. The same custom' prevaa2
in Jugoslavia, where a little girl call-
ed the Dadota is clothed from hem
to foot in grass, and flowers, an
leads her companions through Weil
native village, stopping at cad]
house, so that the housewife ma;
pour a pail of water over her, ant
singing the good news that the rain
has come, even 'though it is usualia
Lair away.
Camera's Five -Miles Range.
A new camera developed by the

Nothing
unusual
about this
of course!
"Oh, hello Jack! When did
you come to town?"
Burns had recognized pe
cheery voice of an old friend
over the telephone.
But Jack was speaking from
his home one hundred miles
away. He had given "Long
Distance" the distant tele-
phone number, and she had
connected hit at once,
while he held the line. '
Nothing extraordinary
about this. Quick Long Dis-
tance service is now practi-
cally mitversal. In most
cases, connection is made
while you remain at the
telephone..
Giving the distant telephone
number speeds up the ser-
vice. We shall gladly look
up for you the distant num-
bers you frequently can.
