AWNING
The Present Shortage of Electrical Power
in Ontario is compelling many Householders,. Merchants and Manufac-
turers to make use of Kerosene, Gasoline and Acetylene Lamps — or even
Candles.
This introduces new and dangerous hazards to life and property, such as:
(a) Inflammable and Explosive Liquids in unusual quantities.
(b) Portable Lamps, easily broken or upset.
(c) Open flames to ignite clothing, draperies or combustible merchandise.
(d) Unusual concentration of heat in show windows and confined spaces.
IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY TO LIFE AND PROPERTY everybody is
urged to exercise the greatest care in the handling and use of lighting devices
and fuel.
TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS :
1 When Hydro switches are pulled,
make sure that all electrical appli-
ances are disconnected or shut
off immediately.
2 Get proper metal containers for
oil and gasoline and keep them
outside.
3 Keep lamps clean and fill them
by daylight only — permit no
smoking while filling.
4 Use only Standard Approved
Lamps.
5 Do not use candles anywhere.
6 Use flashlights for emergencies
—Not Matches.
7 Avoid concentration of Lamps
where excessive heat may ignite
merchandise.
8 If auxiliary generating equip-
ment is to be used, it is essential
that safety standards be com-
plied with. Have such installa-
tions inspected and approved by
the proper authorities.
FUMES FROM CALCIUM CARBIDE (ACETYLENE GAS)
AND GASOLINE ARE AS EXPLOSIVE AS DYNAMITE !
SPECIAL WARNING
Insurance Law regulate the storage and use of Kerosene and inflammable liquids.
Observe these Regulations.
Save Life and Property and avoid violations of vital conditions in your Insurance
Policy Contract.

• grown,
WItheut a,rhyane or rea4.9n done
Into their form, net Meinent spent
In hindrance of this accident
That brings me now in discontent
To spill my lips in wild lament '
Of how I do not know qr• why
There ever eoXnes Maturity;
That buds and burgeons hitt to die.
And fall to vast vacuity!
Forgive, 1 say, that all of this
Is most unspeakably ainis>i:
That I should plumb the deep abyso
Of ignorance that makes me miss
The meaning of my being here
Upon a rolling mundane sphere
Whose best existence, all unclear„
Seems frail as .baffling winds that
veer
And change the vapors of the sky
Where sunset's insecurity
Makes panorama ,fleetingly
In red mutations passing by.
Forgive again, I do not know
Why summers come and winters go
To bring the blossoms and ' the
snow
In cycled life and death, to show
That beauty climbs to one brief
peak
Of perfectness; till Time shall
wreak
Swift vengeance, working fell and
bleak
Catastrophe to all who seek
To build and make continuance;
"Go! Change—they say: Come!!
Permanence!
Life infants eyeing at a glance
What seems so real, but turns ask-
ance.
Forgive me, then, Unknowable,
That I am deeply sensible,
Yet wholly find the tangible
An enigmatic parable,
Whose meaning I can never trace,
Though sight' and sound together
race
To make a pleasant pictured space
That 'holds—yet loses—time and
place -
When compassed with unending
whys
That ne'er above dead levels rise;
Whose zenith- is but low surmise
And which, at nadir, dips—and dies.
Forgive me that I cannot find—,
With things involved and inter-
twined—
So much that, reeling in my mind,
I see in all but purpose blind:
This empties love, whilst truth is
vain,
Hope does but rise to fall again;
Where there is health it bows to
pain,
And goodness kneels to evil's reign!
But most my lamentations be:
That all around me as I see
Signs of Thy might and majesty
I still am left, unknowing Thee;
For life to me hath niggard dole—
Though to my lap Thy riches roll—
If, gaining all, there is no goal:
For—missing Thee—I lose my soul!
REV. A. HINTON, Kippen.
watt —o1� -tb second, and recalls
when a loan was made from the
Government to build the first two
roads to .Seaforth. Two sisters of
Mr. Hannah passed away several
years ago. They were Mrs. James
Lowry and Mrs. David Sproat, and
were also of 'Tuckersmith, His
mother lived to be 94 years of age.
Mr. Hannah is most remarkable
and walks with a firm, quick step.
For one to see him on the street
would imagine him to be in his
seventies. Recently he was trav-
elling by bus to Haney, B.C., to
visit his son and got carried past
his destination eight miles, but un-
daunted he got off the bus and
walked back the eight miles, ap-
parently none the worse. Last
week he was chopping wood.
Mr. Hannah and another old
Tuckersmith resident, now living
with her daughter in Vancouver,
:Mrs. Alexander McKean, spent an
afternoon recently reminiscening
over early days in Tuckersmith.
Formerly Wilhelmina Chesney,
Mrs. McKean is in her 86th year. She
is a daughter of the late Hugh
Chesney and an aunt of Edwin P.
Chesney, Clerk,of Tuckersmith,
Mr. Hannah trvelling six miles
alone by street car to see Mrs.
McKean.

time I went out I went around the
course in 96 strokes, and today I
went,,around it in 80, which is five
over par. The coach and, I have
been playing for a sixpence a hole
and so far I ;have made 10 shillings,
which is approximately $2.
"Our team hasn't been doing so
good in the Autumn Cup series, as
we have lost 7 and tied 1 of our
past eight games. It isn't good to
say we have an excuse, but we
have a good one—we have had two
players out with injuries, and there
are only 10 on the team. Tom La-
Pointe has had a bath arm and a
Oharliehorse in _ one leg. Russ
Murphy, the best defence man we
have, got the heel of a skate
through his neck. The skate went
through his throat on the left side
and came out on the inside just
behind his tongue. It was only a
quarter of an inch from his juglar
vein and required four stitches on
the inside and eight on the out-
side to close the cut. It will be
about four weeks before he can
play again.
"I received the papers you sent
me the other day, and was I ever
glad to get them! I didn't realize
what you meant when you said
you were going to put my letters•
in the paper, until I started to read
the papers you sent me. I have
been bragging to all the guys on
the team about making front page
news. If you don't mind you can
keep on sending me The Expositor
every, week or two at a time, like
you did before.
"I also read about the ball team
going right through to the finals.'
I hope they win the championship
for a change. I suppose Bill Teal!,
George Johnston, Jim Willis and
the rest of the fellows that look
after the hockey team, will be get-
ting ready for the winter. I hope
they have as good, luck with the
hockey as they had with the ball
team. The next time you see Lorne
Dale, tell him not to cut anybody's
ear off when they start running
the Seaforth team down.
• "Torn, Bruce and I have been
spending our spare time building
a model airplane. We hope to
take it out and fly it the first calm
day that comes along. I have been
taking out a few girls since I came
over and find they are wile silag-
one uyzne-name of Jessie
Cumming, who is extra specially
nice. She is not Scotch though.
,Her home is in Malta, and she
has been over here for the pasts
five years.
"I wrote to Bob the other day,
so I will be expecting an answer
from him in the near future, that
is if yQu hajLe found him since he
ran away the last time. Ydu can
send Rod. my address if you like,'
and maybe he will write a letter
or two. I'm going to mention about
sending me a parcel again. When
you send it, please put some waxed
skate laces and lots of gum.
"If this letter gets to the paper
and someone who would like to
write me a letter sees it, please
write, as I will be glad to answer
all the letters I get."

Farm Livestock Show Decrease
Estimates of the numbers of live
stock on farms in Canada at June
1, 1948, compiled by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics indicate a de-
crease for each of the principal
kinds of farm animals as compar-
ed with the numbers at June 1,
1947. Hogs, estimated at 4,463,100,
were 18.5 per cent below last year.
Cattle numbers at 9,470,300 had de-
clined 2.6 per cent. There was,
however, no significant change in
the number or cows and heifers
two years old and over kept main-
ly for milking purposes. Slight in-
creases in Quebec, Ontario and Al-
berta were almost completely off-
set by decreases in the other prov-
inces.
The number of horses on farms
decreased 6.3 per cent from last
year and at a total of 1,904,900 has
now fallen below 2 million for the
first time since 1906. Sheep num-
bers decreased substantially to
2,250,800, almost 17 per cent below
last year.

A Happy Time
Youngsters, like to touch and
smell and get acquainted with food
slowly, so etiquette is `out" for
little folk. A short rest period
before his regular mealtime will
put the child in the right frame of
'mind to set about the task. Meal-
time should be a happy time—the
child rested and ready to eat.
Mental Health
Canada's costly mental health
problem can be greatly improved
through the effective education of
the general public. Outworn con,
cepts. must be replaced by modern
knowledge. Mental illness is no
disgrace, is not inherited, does not
strike suddenly, and in most cases,
is curable.
IS BACKACHE
JUST A SIGN
OF AGE ?
Many ple suffer an aching back
needless believing you must expect
a few aches and pains, when you're
"getting on" in years!,
But backache is often caused by the
faulty action of kidneys and liyer.
See how much better you feel after
taking Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills,
and your kidneys and liver both filter
out impurities from your. bloodstream.
That's because this time -proven Dr.

once -contains special remedial ingre-
dients for both the kidney and liver
disorders which often cause backache.
