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 PROMOTED —A, R. G, Ament, Toronto, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ament, Seafo'i-th, who was appointed Director of Administration of the Brazilian Light & Power - Co. Ltd. Mr. Ament was fore mercy Budget Comptroller of the company. 11. School held this week at the Sea- forth eaforth District Memorial Centre.

Prior to the outbreak of World War TI he travelled extensively through- out the Continent and has visited most of the European capitals. In 1950 when the 'London Lions Club 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. EADS BUTCHERS W. L.

"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.

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 you would hive those twenty-five years if you had the chance to live them over again. But, after all,' would you improve them? Experi- ence is a wonderful teacher, and how much we -learn from our mis- ' akes you have learned the art 'of gentleness, patience, endearness. sympathy and understanding; you' have gained strength by overcom- ing your difficulties and deeper af- fection has grown between you by' facing them together. May you both be spared to enjoy many more years of married life. May this day add many treasures to memory's premium store, leave unexpected joys you have not known before, and may every anniversary in the year that lie ahead give you still more cause to celebrate, the day that you were wed." Mrs. Charles Allison. of Exeter„ sister of the bride, presented them; with a cabinet of silverware. Mr. and Mrs. Thomson, although taken Completely by surprise. thanked ev- n eryone for the gift. All joined in singing "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows." Lunch was served.

The matte r of a public reel, room- for women was again 'brought, be- fore Seaforth council. In a, letter, to its members, the Seaforth Wee men's Institute petitioned connote to provide one"as"'soon as possible: ' Councillor E. Ii 'Close thought t$a;&;t the idea was an excellent one, but that the neighboring townships should contribute to its maiutene ance. Councillor Sillery told of how he had investigated this teat- ter watter about a year ago- With the re- sult that a suitable.ljooation could not be found. Reeve Sills, stated. that a few years previous to this he had discussed • the matter with members of the W.I., and had of- fered to build a chemical unit, but that the members were not in favor of this type. From previous investigations it was found that there was not suf- ficient apace on town property for weeper -beds for the regular type of flush toilet. Mayor E. A. McMaster said that other towns have public rest rooms, and that Seaforth is being criticized for not having one. Councillor Sharp was commissioned to investigate the matter and bring in a report to the next meeting. The regular meeting of council was held' •'Monday evening, with all members being present - Fire 'Chief J. F. Scott waited on council to inquire into the parking in the lane between the Town Hall and the Commercial Hotel. He said that there was not sufficient clear- ance for the fire truck to pass through when cars were parked.. It was explained that the lane was a private drive, belonging to the Commercial. Hotel, with the excep- tiorh of the two feet adjoining the Town Hall. "No Parking" signs will be, placed on the Town Hall, and "Park At :Your Own Risk" on the. hotel building. A representative of the fire mar- shal's office inspected a property on Side St. and claimed it was the worst mess he had seen. in 28 years. A provincial inspector will be asked to rook into the matter further, as it is considered a very dangerous fire trap- The reeve gave notice of motion that he was going to bring before council a -by-law re- garding dumps. Council voted $50.00 towar"ds the expenses of the regional fire school being held this week. Council com- mended Chief J. F. Scott for his efforts in bringing the school to Seaforth, Mr. Scott advised the council that the brigade had pur- chased a Scott Airpack for $308:00. This is a fresh -air container, used for going into a -ells, etc., where there is no oxygen. In ,his street committee report; . . Councillor Daly said that the coun- tyengineer'hadexamined all the roads in town and advised against using calcium chloride. He said that Seaforth streets were in good condition, and that the road main- tenance program was right. The engineer promised to submit cost per 1,000 feet for the new type of processing of roads. Mr. Franklin, foreman of the Cornell Construction Co., was pre- sent to answer questions of the councillors concerning road main- tenance, He stated that the crowns of some of the streets were. high, and that some of the sidewalks were low, but on the whole the - streets were in good condition, He commended the manner in which the roads were being graded. Councillor Daly said that 475 feet of new- sidewalk bad been built at a cost of $1.38 per foot. The grader had operated for 40 hours, and 740 yards had been spread dur- ing the past month.
