miles an hour on a concrete road can
not be brought to a full stop in less
than 15 feet.
But if the same car is travelling 40
miles an hour, it will require fournot
twice as much room to stop,

travelling 60 miles an hour it can not
be stopped before it has covered 135

home on Friday night on who ela t, at
the age of 76 years, in the person of
the late John McDougall Wilson, who;
together with his parents, the late
William Wilson and Annie Wilson,
settled on the farm, , a little • over
three miles west of Hensall, on the
Zurich Road. The deceased was the
eleventh member 'of a family of
twelve, and of whom only one now
survives in the person of Mrs. Janie
Glenn, of 4Seaforth. Mr. Wilson was
married in the year 1891 to Mary P.
Bell, a daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Doay, Zurich Eroad, anof d from his
of Hay,
marriage there were three of a fam-
ily, namely: Margaret, Mrs. William
Beck, of Yonkers; N.Y.;I.Annie, Mrs.
Roy F. White, of London, and Wil-
liam B. Wilson, slow deceased, and
who as Lieutenant, lost his life in ac-
tion in the last great war in the year
1918. Mr. Wilson's first wife pre-
deceased him in 1896 and he married
again in the year 1902 to Mary A.
Rea, of St. Marys, who survives hiss.
In politics the deceased was a Con-
servatiive, and in religion, first / a
Methodist until the Union, but for
some years he was unable to attend
church:.through ill health. Mr. Wil-
son was a well read and intelligent
man with very strong and decided
opinions and a good conversationlist,
and will be missed not only by his
family, but by his' neighbors- and
friends. The funeral service at his
home on Monday afternoon last was
quite largely attended by many rel-
atives, both of his own and that of
his wife, many coming from St. Marys
and district. The pallbearer were ,six
nephews. The service at the home
was conducted by Rev. A :Sinclair,
of the United Church, who spoke very
feelingly of the deceased, and the Odd -
fellows of 'Hensall Lodge No. 223, of
which lodge the deceased was a mem-
ber for nearly forty years, attended
in goodly numbers to pay their last
token of respect. The services at the
grave were taken by Wachter Spencer,
as Noble Grand, and G. J. -Sutherland,
as Chaplain, and were very impres-
sive. The remains were interred in
the Fansville Cemetery at the corner
of the farm oi- which the deceased
lived until he first rented it and af-
terwards sold it.
Dr. A. Moir's New Huron Springs
Sanatarium.—It is always a pleasure
to be able to report something new
and good, something in the interests
of human welfare and improved facil-
ities for the betterment of human life,
and in this connection Dr. Alex. Moir,
great
to.
titled
of our village, is en
credit for the most wonderfully com-
plete and up-to-date sanatarium which
believe h terms "Huron Springs
and completed on his fine farm
grounds, just a little beyond the out-
skirts of our village, just a little to
the south of it, on the London Road,
and at the fine spring creek that
winds its way through the spacious
and fine premises so admirably situ-
ated for just such a fine institution.
Your correspondent hearing so much
about it was very naturally anxious
to see it for himself, and he was able
to say in all truth, just as it is re-
corded in the Good Book relative to
the visit of Queen 'Sheba to see Sol-
omon's Temple of which she had heard
and read so much, and who upon vis-
iting it, exclaimed: "That the half
had not been told her." Now space
would not permit us to give anything
like a full and extended report of this
very fine and substantial sanatarium
home fitted up from the fine spacious.
basement to the third floor, and yes,
another fine landscape view floor,
crowning as it were the handsome and
finely proportioned edifice. Not only
is the building itself all that could wen
be desired for the purpose intended,
but it is fitted throughout with spac-
ious bedrooms and all rooms with
fine polished hardwood floors and
splendidly planned for convenience
and comfort with the very best and
latest in all modern conveniences, such
as bath rooms with also shower at-
tachments, sun room, provided with
vita glass, dumb waiter, also an elec-
tric light call system which registers
calls with colored bulbs throughout
the building, and all parts of the build-
ing wired for radio, an improved sys-
tem of heating throughout and with
running spring water throughout ev-
ery room, spacious kitchen and 'din-
ing room suitable for patients;- thea
latest in fine lighting for every de-
partment, including consulting and •-
operating rooms that can be made, se
as to exclude all sound or noise. In
short, everything that could be devis-
ed for comfort and completeness and
the fine finish throughout reflecting
great credit upon the masons, carpen-
ters, yainters, decorators and mechan-
ics, who were - all local men. This
sketch would riot be complete with-
out again emphasizing the credit to
which Dr. Moir is entitled for his
spirit of enterprise in devising and
carrying to completion such a very
fine sanatarium to carry on his now
celebrated radium treatment, in which
he is an expert, but apart from this
fine equipment for his own special
treatment, he is throwing it open to
all the surrounding medical men as
a receiving sanatariurn to bring their
patients to and care or treat them
themselves, as Dr. Moir takes charge
only of referred patients. In closing
we think this report would not be
complete without making reference to
the fact that in the opening of the
sanatarium he has secured the servic-
es of Mrs. R. J. Paterson, of our vil-
lage, to give her able and experienced
superintendence to it as managing
matron, and for which she has had {
good experience in what has been
known as a private hospital in her
.lame in Hensall,'and as the need of
supervisors, or nurses increases, Mrs.
we a rove a Paterson will no doubt be assisted in
Sanatarium,'" which he has erected . her responsible position.

40 and 60 miles an hour are 27 feet,
107 feet and 240 feet.
Twenty miles an hour is the aver-
age speed limit in towns and villages,
a mere snail's pace we consider it, and
very seldom keep within that limit.
Yet it takes five yards to stop a car
in cases of emergency, even at that
limit.
Sixty miles an hour is not by any
means uncommon on our highways. At
that speed it requires 45 yards

the length of a town block.
'Comparing those two figures, what
ehance has the driver of such a car,
a pedestrian, another car or a horse

Still, we keep up the merry clip
without thought or fear of accident to
ourselves or to others.
Why do we, we wonder, in the face
of indisputable facts and figures like
these?
THE DARKNESS
BEFORE THE DAWN
(Commerce and Finance)
Privation is great and many people
are suffering sincerely from that pri-
vation but it is well to bring our-
selves to a real appreciation of the
fact that much is being painted with
a color of tragedy at the moment ube-
cause that seems to be the pop
method of appeal—more so than is
justified.
The world has been through these
times over and over again. So many
people have visualized a state of mind
in the past which is exactly the state
of mind at the present. The benefit
of such depiction rests in the abso-
lute assurance that in due time we
shall emerge from this situation; and
while cheerfulness cannot be produc-
ed by an effort that is in itself pain-
ful, nevertheless it is interesting to
note the state of mind that has ex-
isted in similar periods.
Robert Ingersoll in 1887 summed
the situation up in a very interesting
way. What he said of that period
and the influence that would make
people emerge from the blackness of
it, is just as true to -day.
"Our country," said he in 1887, "is
prostrated. Labor is in rags. Ener-
gy has empty hands. The wheels of
the factories are still. In the safe .of
prudence, money lies locked by the
key of tear. Confidence is what we
need. Confidence in each other; con-
fidence in ourselves; confidence in our
institutions; in our forms of govern-
ment; in the great future; confidence
in law; confidence in liberty, in pro-
gress and in the grand destiny of a
great republic."
And the way to obtain that confi-
dence is not to worry about the other
fellow's having it but to have it our-
selves. There is nothing that is as
terrifying in this situation as the
state of mind in which people are at
the present time. They alone can ex-
tricate themselves from it by the ex-
ertion of their intelligence and com-
paring the present period with other
periods much darker, from which hu-
manity has always emerged.

Death Of Pioneer.—A well known
resident of this community and one of
the last aof1p th s he countysand who
ma' helped
to open 'p
what it is to -day, passed away on
Tuesday, November 10th, at his home
in Kippen, in the person of Mr. Jbhn
Whiteman, in his 99th year. Mr.
Whiteman was born near Hamilton
and moved to Huron County at the
age of seventeen, spending over fifty
years on a farm just west of the vil-
lage, but for the past twenty-eight
years has resided in the village of
Kipper. Sixty-five years ago he was
married to Elizabeth Mary Edgar, who
predeceased him about nine years ago.(
Although nearing the century mark,
he continued to be a great reader and
was keenly interested in the progress
of the community. His store of re-
collections of pioneer days was most
interesting to bear and it was always
a great pleasure to visit with him and
relive with him the boyhood and early
manhood days of joys, toil and hard-
ships experienced by the sturdy and
brave pioneers, who pushed back the
borders of the wilderness in Canada.
Surviving are his three sons: Alfred,
of Chicago; Alden, of Long Beach,
California, and Herbert, .of Toronto;
and three daughters, Mrs. Robt. Dins -
dale, of Kipnen; Mrs. Maurice McCon-
nell, of Detroit, and (Miss Mabelle, at
home: Two sons, James and Charles,
died several years ago. Mrs: John
Anderson, of the (village, is a sister.
The funeral took place from
rombhier 12th,
resi-
dence on Thursday,
to Hensall Union Cemetery. The pall-
bearers were Messrs. Isaac Jarrott,
Henry Ivison, J. Wesley French, Ster-
ling McPhail, James McDonald and
Duncan Aikenhead.
TOO MUCH IN FAVOR
One result of the depression; as a
contemporary sees it, is that the long
despised five -cent piece has been re-
stored to popular favor;
Milverton Sun.
It would be a very good thing for
mankind generally and womankind
too, not forgetting' the ,i children, if
the five -cent piece again gained re-
cognition as being of monetary value.
In recent years, when everyone was
so prosperous, people became so ac-
customed to thinking about, talking
about and spending dollars, they for-
got entirely that dollars were just a
multiplication of cents.
Because it took twentysfive scent
pieces to make a dollar, they were

cent piece in Ontario was abont on a
par with a copper in the West in
early days. It had little or no com-
mercial value. It was beneath one's
dignity to notice it.

HILLSGREEN
Consitt-Turner.--A pretty autumn
wedding was solemnized on Tuesday,
November 10th, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Webster Turner, Hillsgreen,
when their only daughter, Margaret
Eileen, was united in marriage to
Thomas Russell Consitt, only son of
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Consitt, also of
Hillsgreen. Precisely at 12.30 o'clock
to the strains of the Lohengrin bridal
chorus, played by Miss Gladys Steph-
enson, the bridal couple took their
places beneath an arch of evergreens,
decorated with flowers and a white
bell. The
',bride who vgiven
marriage by her father, wore a white
silk crepe dress trimmed with radium
lace, and carried a bouquet of pink
chrysanthemums. She also wore the
conventional (veil and orange blos-
soms, and was unattended, save for
two little girls, Miss Julene Stephen-
son, cousin of thebride, and Miss
Ruth McAllister, niece of the groom,
each dressed in pink silk crepe and
carrying a basket of pink and white
baby chrysanthemums. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. R. R. Connor,
of Kippen, in the presence of the im-
mediate relatives of the bride and
groom. An interesting -feature was
the fact that it was the groom's par-
ent's forty-fifth wedding anniversary.
The groom's gift to the bride was a
case of silverware, to the flower girls
a fancy mesh purse, and the pianist,
a silver dish. After the usual con-.
gratulations, all repaired to the din-
ing room, which was decorated in pink
and white; four of the bride's girl
friends waiting on the tables. Later
in the afternoon the couple left on a
motor trip for Toronto, Ottawa and
other Eastern points, the bride wear-
ing 'a brown satin dress, green coat
with brown fur trimming and brown
hat and other accessories to match.
On their return they will reside on
the groom's farm, Parr Line, Stanley.
