HEALTH CLINIC
BOARD OF OFFICERS
• The Polio and Crippling Preven-
tion 'Foundation's officers were
elected Monday, June 2, at the
Therese C. Pfrimmer Clinic, Bay-
field. Mrs. Pfrimmer, R.M., is the
founder of this project.
Officers elected are as follows:
President, Albert Woods, Brussels;
vice-president, Albert Cardiff, Eth-
el; 2nd vice-president, Roy Swartz,
Crediton; 3rd vice-president, A. E.
Shaddick, Clinton; secretary, Wm.
Ned'iger, Clinton; assistant secre-
tary, Danny Colquhoun, Clinton;
treasurer, John 'C. Stevens, Sea -
forth. Consulting doctors: Dr. J.
W. Wallace, Goderich; Dr. P. L.
Brady, Seaforth; Dr. E. A. McMas-
ter, Seaforth; legal adviser, Frank
Donnelly, Q.C., Goderich; directors:
Reg McGee, Goderich; Douglas Rob-
inson, Verna; Mrs. Jean Lawrence,
Mitchell; Mrs. Beatrice Regier, Sea -
forth.
Committee members have also
been appointed throughout Huron
Cour and surrounding counties,
to here in this project. The -com-
mittee members are either former
patients or present 'patients of Mrs.
Pfrimmer, or some member of their
families being patients. The reas-
on for this is, that these persons
on the committee know, the ad-
vantage of this work; and what it
will do for the children.
Research in muscles began in
1946. Work was done mostly on
crippled people. Since 1946 Mrs.
Pfrimmer 'has found that atrophied
muscles can be returned to normal
function; also spastic (tight) and
distrophied muscles can be releas-
ed, but one must know how.
,Last year •Mrs. Pfrimmer started
a muscle survey to check school
children's muscles, to see how
great a percentage of the children
would have tight muscles. One hun-
dred and sixty-two from Huron
County were examined free -last
year. Out of the 162 children ex-
amined, there was only -one child,
whose muscles were .not involved.
This child was from the Summer-
hill school section. Ninety-five from
surrounding counties and the Unit-
ed States were examined, and treat-
ed. Only two of these children
were completely free of muscle in•.
volvement.
Mrs. Pfrimmer feels it is too ser-
ious to neglect. It is too big a pro-
ject to do alone. Masseurs will have
to be trained for this type of work,
The facilities at her present loca-
tion are not adequate to do this
work en a large scale.
The objective of this Foundation
is to have all children up to 16
years of age examined free. each
Year. Any muscles that are tight
and not working normally will be
released. Curvatures will be cor-
rected, Improper posture is due to
tight muscles pulling the shoulders
forward. Inside leg muscles being
tight causes pigeon -toes, weak an-
kles. Bowed legs is due to tight
adductor muscles.
Muscles should work in rhythm.
if one group of muscles become in-
volved it puts a strain on the other
muscles. Result, crippling condi-
tions. Keeping children's muscles
examined each year and releasing
any tight muscles will prevent
crippling conditions. Nothing has
even been done about muscles. Chil-
dren have their eyes, ears, throat,
nose and teeth examined each year,
yet nothing is done about their
muscles.
Now that a way has been found

Arnold R. Turnbull, resident, sec-
retary of the Imperial Life Assur-

Quarter -Century Association of the
company. He received a wrist
watch in commemoration of the
event. Mr. Turnbull is a brother

"The Imp," the months ulletin

sions as follows:
"A Canadian by birth, Arnold re-

forth, Ontario, and graduated from
the University of Toronto in 1927.
Soon after graduation he joined the
Home Office Staff as a member of
the Actuarial Department. He later
worked In the Medical Department
and in 1932 was moved to London,
England, as Resident Secretary of

Prior to the outbreak of World War
TI he travelled extensively through-
out the Continent and has visited
most of the European capitals. In

to release tight adherent muscles,
there is no need • to allow these
crippling conditions to continue,
when something can be done to re-
lease and prevent crippling condi-
tions. Masseurs will have to be
trained for this type of work. Mrs.
Pfrimmer is the only one who
knows this method of treatment;
is not taught in any medical school
at present.
Detroit patients have been work-
ing to get this project started in
their city. A clinic has been offer-
ed to Mrs. Pfrimmer in Detroit.
She feels, 'however, 'her own coun-
try needs her first. She has not
refused the Detroit offer. Detroit
will be the first U.S. unit to 'be in
this project.
It will involve a great deal of
work and training, which will be
under Mrs. Pfrimmer's supervision.
Trained operators will start other
units hi other parts of •Canada. Bay-
field will be the headquarters for
this project.

Mr. Clarke: It has been in our
hearts and in our minds to take
the privilege at our first opportun-
ity to extend greetings and our
most hearty congratulations to you
upon your 'graduation from Victoria
College.
"Seven years ago last April, your
pastor placed before his Official
Board the application of Ernest
Clarke as a candidate for the
Christian ministry, and the board
with joy and great pleasure endors-
ed the application and forwarded
same to Presbytery and Conference
for its acceptance. Knowing of
your interest in the work of the
Church, Sunday School and, Young
People's Union, assured the board
that your qualifications warranted'
our confidence, and during those
years we have followed you in your
course with deep interest and
prayer,
"This morning we greet you, the
Rev. Ernest George Clarke, B.A.,
B.,D., and congratulate you on your
high standing and the honors you
have achieved, honors which do not
come -by chance, but by diligence,
faithfulness, and with God's, help,
honors which reflect great credit
to yourself, your Church, and to the
United Church of Canada.
"We rejoice in your presence
with us, to give to us your first
message after your Ordination, a
message and this occasion will ev-
er be remembered -by this congre-
gation now present.
"And as you are to launch fur-
ther out into the depths of spiri-
tual truths, to equip yourself with
the highest efficiency of Christian
service to your Church and Christ's
Kingdom, are will continue on in
your interest and with prayer for
further success.
"As you will go out administer-
ing to the spiritual needs of God's
children, we would ask you to ac-
cept this individual Communion set
as a token of our esteem 'of every
member and adherent of this
church, and may it ever hold fast
t friendship he fr ndsh p and good will of all.
"We hope and pray that Mrs.
Clarke and you may have a long,
happy and successful journey in the
ministry of the Christian Church.
We are mindful of the saying of
St. Paul, who said: 'Who is suffici-
ent for all this,' and he also gave
the assurance that God will supply
all your needs through Jesus Christ
the Lord. May God bless you and
keep you and make His face to
shine upon both of you is our
Prayer.—F, Harburn, Secretary of
the 'Official Board."

KIPPEN COUPLE
MARRIED 25 YEARS
A very enjoyable evening was
spent on Tuesday last when about
sixty-five relatives and friends met
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Milton
McAdams, near Zurich, to honor
Mr. and Mrs: Samuel Thomson, of
Kippen, on the occasion of their
twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.
A sing -song was much enjoyed with
Miss Betty Allison, of Exeter, at
the piano, after which the bride and
groom of twenty-five years ago
were called forward. The following
address was read by Mrs. Elmore
Keyes, sister of the groom:
"Dear Alice and Samuel: We;
your 'relatives and friends, have
gathered here tonight as a surprise
to celebrate with you your twenty-
fifth wedding anniversary. We are
sure as you draw back the curtains
and look back over the years you
will recall all the blessings of a
happy wedded life with your fait -
fly, as well as the trials_which vis
it us all. As Edgar Guest has writ-
ten: Home ain't a place that gold
can buy, or get up in a minute;
afore it's home, there's got to be a'
heap of livin' in it; within its walls
there's- got to be some babies.. born,
then, right then, you've got to bring
them up to women, good and men,
and gradually as time goes on
you'll find you wouldn't part with
anything they ever used; they've
grown right in your heart. The old
high chair, the plaything too, the
little shoes they wore; ye heard
and if eye could. ye'd keep the
thumb marks on the door•. We
should always remember that ev-
ery cloud has a silver lining and
sunshine follows rain. As you look
hack you may think how different
