PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, Friday, May 18, 1956 TB 'D° Day Next Tuesday is `D' Day as far as some hundreds of district citizens are concerned. It is the day to which. they have been directing their ener- gies for several months, to the end that there will be as nearly as is possible a 100 per cent turnout for the Huron TB Chest Clinic. The Clinic, which is in two sec- tions, began its tour of Huron cen- tres a week ago.On Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday of next week it will be located at Northside Unit- ed Church, Seaforth, and will be in operation daily from 2 to 5 and from 7 to 10. Elimination of dread tuberculosis is possible, but only to the extent that early diagnosis is made. For.,, this reason it is imperative that each of us have a regular chast X-ray. As is pointed out in survey litera- ture, a chest X-ray takes but a moment of your time. It may save your life. In all, some five thousand Huron County residents (under the direc- tion of the Huron TD Association) are engaged in the campaign to make the TB Clinic the success its impor- tance merits. Great as is their con-, tribution in time and effort, it can be for naught unless there is a ready acceptance on the part of the public generally of the necessity of com- plete co-operation. How Do We Win? The annual Spring Clean -Up cam- paign of the Seaforth Chamber of Commerce is taking place next week. Citizens are urged by Mayor McMaster, as well as by the Cham- ber, to co-operate. There will, of course, be those who, while they probably see the benefit of Spring cleaning and renovating in their own " home, will wonder about the effectiveness of a com- munity clean-up program. Provided everyone co-operates, what will we gain? Even this par- tial list will most likely surprise you: Development of community spirit; reduction of fire losses; in- struction in good housekeeping; re- spect for property; vacant lot im- provement; promotion of safety; discouragement of crime ; improve- ment of employee morale ; -glean-up supports business, stabilizes, restores and increases the value of real estate. How do we win? In every way that will/ contribute to our safety, health, and general well-bein As 'the Chamber of Commerce (points out: "It's up to you ... if you, and you, and you support: the campaign, we'll all benefit, individually and col- lectively." Clean -Up is a winning proposition. MAY SPECIAL! 1 -15 foot HOME. SEEN .N IN THE COUNTY PAPERS R.C.A.

Three trucks loaded' with chickens were on their way from Tillsonburg to the Unit- ed Co-operative processing plant in Wingham, when the mishap oc- curred. The first truck passed over the hole without trouble, but the second truck sank into the hole up to the racks, spilling the chick- en crates into the ditch.—Wing- ham Advance -Times.

Skin Graft Done On Foot Jackie Weston, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weston, Bayfield, underwent an operation for skin grafting to her right foot in Clinton Pubilc Hospital on Tues- day. This was necessitated by a deep burn which she sustained three weeks ago when she stepped into the remains of a bonfire. Jackie was walking along beside her bicycle on the roadside, near the Cities Service Station, talking to a companion. She was so en- grossed that she did not notice a pile of leaves which covered hot ashes. The ashes got into her shoe, causing such pain that she grabbed her foot and held it tight- ly, instead of getting the shoe off immediately. Despite her sore foot, Jackie insisted on taking part in the musical festival on Monday.—Clinton News -Record. Canadian Eskimos produce some of the country's most distinctive art. Their stone carvings are eagerly sought after by collectors all over the werld. Northern Canada is potentially one of the greatest mining areas of the world. Mines in Yellowknife work some of the richest gold ore in Canada, and the N.W.T. may be come one of the richest oil fields in the world. which will all take place in time. Zurich Herald. Seek Finishing Job of Paving A delegation from Town Council will' approach the Warren Bitum- inous Paving Co., Ltd., of Toronto, about its plans for finishing the surface on the Square. Mayor J.. E.'eHuckins said, at last week's council meeting, that it has been his understanding that the firm will lay an additional half inch of material to finish off the street. CouncillorJames Donnelly, who admitted receiving many inquiries from taxpayers about the matter,. said the company had sent offi- cials up to look it over. They had said they would make it good, stat- ed Councillor Donnelly. The may- or, deputy -reeve E. C. Fisher and S. H. Blake, town clerk and treas- urer, were authorized to contact the company again and bring back* a report.—Goderich Signal -Star.

Special Services At Opening Special services marked the op- ening of the Pentecostal Church in Wingham on Sunday at .3 and 7:30 p.m. Guest speaker for the occasion was Rev. J. H. Blair, of Hamilton, district superintendent of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. The building, 35x60 feet, will accommodate 250 people. The basement of the building has six classrooms, pastor's study, two washrooms and a furnace room. Volunteer labor played a major role in the construction of the new church. The building, which would normally cost $40.000, was con- structed for $14,000, under direc- tion of the pastor, Woodrow W. Loder.—Wingham Advance -Times.

' SEAFORTH. FIRE BRIGADE 10 PROVINCIAL POLICE Is Being Levelled Down • Zurich's first hotel at the cor- ner of Victoria . and Mill Street, just opposite the post office, is be- ing levelled down by its owner, Mr. Gerald Gingerich, who is sal- vaging the material of any value. Workmen were at it hard for two evenings, and another such a lap and it will be all a thing of the past. This old building, which has a big past history, was frit put up by a frame of logs squared up and then in between the frame- work it was bricked out and r bricks were well protected by put- ting a board siding on the outside, peart of which was covered with asphalt shingles. There is a lot of debris around the place and it will take a lot 'of cleaning up, i A► PARSON'S SKETCH..:.: -BOOK.. (By J. R. HOLDEN) One wonders what an Old Testa- ment prophet'; such as Isaiah, would make out of some of the things which are happening in the world today. After several delays on account of unfavorable weather conditions, American military authorities and scientists employed by the Ameri- can Government, had planned to explode a hydrogen bomb on Sun- day. Not because of any regard for the sacred character of the day, nor because of any compunc- tion in regard to this fearsome ex- periment, those responsible had to again postpone the event. The weather again forced them to alter thei?plans. And within the Unit- ed States itself, violent storms caused loss of life and serious dam- age in many parts of the country. Is there any connection between the plans—to explode a hydrogen bomb and the storms whrtc'h visit- ed the nation? Certainly the Old Testament prophets did not hesi- tate to declare that God showed His 'displeasure through manifes- tations in nature. What right has any government, no matter how rich, powerful or self-righteous, to explode a hydro- gen bomb which in the very na- ture of the case will bring death to thousands of living crea- tures? A great English poem, "The Ancient Mariner," tells of the misfortune which came to a ship's company because one of their number wantonly slew an albatross. This bomb test is sup- posed to take place away out in the Pacific, but it will bring death to land and marine creatures of many kinds. Not one solitary albatross, but many living things are involved. Such experimentation in death. involving an expenditure of mil- lions of dollars and the intensive thought of those who are willing 4o lend their scientific training for such purposes, bodes no good for any people. Could it be that the unusual storms of the 'past two years are meant as Divine warnings? Yet these signs in nature go unheed- ed. The increasing flood tide of strong drink, the continued com- mercializing of the Christian Sab- bath, the gambling and lottery craze, the doubtful outpourings of Hollywood, the printing of filthy trash in books and magazines for the drug and cigar store trade, the tawdry nature of night club life, these do not indicate any spirit of national penitence across the bor- der. Nor are conditions much bet- ter in our own land. which is be- coming such a slavish imitator of the United States. It might be well if a modern Jonah would preach a grave warn- ing to repent, up and down the broadway of the world's largest and richest city. If the United States truly turned to God it could _ lead the whole world in ways of peace. But the development of more fiendish methods of mass de- struction is inViting tilt..wrath of Him who cares for all His crea- tures. WINTHROP NEWS OF T IE WEE°.

Though Canada is one of the world's leading trading nations, Canadians themselves consume more than 80 per cent Of what they produce. ' Te residence of Mr. Duncan Me - ,Callum, near Leadbualy, was burn- ed to the ground about 3 o'clock ,Saturday morning. The furniture was saved, but still the loss will be considerable. On Sunday the blacksmith shop belonging to Mr. Paul Morris, of Leadbury, was burned to the ground with the loss being about $200. A young man, about 18 or 19 Years of age, an adopted son of Mr. Richard Thompson, of the town. line between McKillop and Hullett, met with a most painful and dis- tressing accident on Monday eve- ;ing. He was in the stable and was cleaning out the hoofs of the horses when the animal suddenly threw back its foot, 'striking the youngman on the eye, cutting the lid and inflicting such other injur- ies as it is feared will completely destroy its sight. What makes the 'ease all the more melancholy is that the young man only had the sight of one eye, the other being destroyed when he was a small boy, by being cut, with a penknife, So now he will be ,totally, blind. ,Rev. tether 'Shea bah had a row Of fine young maples planted around: the grhtttids of St. James' . htti l3,; +edfa lt, ty idi► 'wheat they gr,;,,;,Vv I ynotteel a y er fee • the tp a repOrtyl: held 1n -*Cavan Chtureh Sunday merniag when Rev. 1.

Without profits further expansion could not be paid for, and expansion is necessary if there are to be new jobs for our increasing population. ti- . In fact, without profits there would be fewer and fewer jobs than now, instead of more and more. And without profits there would be no return for the shareholders on their investment; and there are al- most as many shareholders in industrial companies as . there are employees. The right price for Canada, then, must include/a profit for investment in our future growth. 'THE STEEL COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED MONTREAL GANANOQUE HAMILTON BRANTFORD TORONTO 1--� ' a —Ail.
