Hensall merchants com- promised 'and + • are "pen both nights. Decide On P4q'L Members of the•: eaforth Cham- ber ber of Commerce, meeting Tues- day evening in the Town Hall, de- cided to poll Seaforth merchants as to their preference for night shopping. A committee, composed of J. A. Stewart, G. A. Whitney, W. R. Smith and M. Nott, was de- tailed to visit merchants to obtain their signatures as to whether they favored Friday or Saturday night opening. The main factor leading up to the poll was the close result of the public ballot which had been car- ried out over the past two weeks as a result of a motion to that ef- fect which. was passed at the or- ganization meeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce March 28. While the poll indicated a choice for Friday night opening, 'it was pointed out by a majority of mer- chants that the result was close and suggested indifference, ex- pressed by many, as well as in- dicated by those who did not vote. For this reason it was agreed a poll of merchants them- selves from which the final out- come would be ascertained and put into effect, according to the wishes of the majority, would pro- duce a more co-operative result. In the course ,of the discussion the question was asked if a tabu- lation had been kept as to whe- ther more farmers or more town people had voted. The meeting was told no tabulation had been kept, but that duplications and children's ballots had been dis- carded, and of these the number was about equal for_ the two nights. G. A. Whitney, chairman of the Merchants' Committee, informed the meeting that 1,222 votes had been cast; 638 favored Friday night; 584 favored Saturday night —a majority of 54 in favor of Fri- day night opening. Mr. Whitney told of one ballot reading: That merchants open Monday and stay open every day until ,Saturday A very impressive Easter mesa sage was delivered by Rev. S.

H. Stewart stated that in that case those desiring one or the oth- er night would be open on that particular night. Ross Savauge pointed out that it would be folly to remain open in that manner.

DUBLIN WOMEN'S INSTITUTE ORGANIZES HIBBERT CHEST X-RAY Good progress is being made in organizing the village of Dublin, and the north end of Hibbert Town- ship, for the chest X-ray survey to be conducted in Hibbert May 6, it was reported Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of Dublin Women's Institute. The Dublin W.I., organized only a year ago, has assumed responsi- bility for the campaign against tuberculosis as one of the first major projects. Its objective is to get everyone in the north end of Hibbert to the Township Hall at Staffa on Monday, May 6, to get a free chest X-ray. Every household in the Dublin W.I.'s area is being visited by In- stitute members, to, distribute clin- ic cards and explain the working of the plan to do an X-ray test of every adult, and every child 12 years of age or' over. Many of the Institute members. it was re- ported Tuesday, have already com- pleted their lists of calls. Response of the general public in north Hibbert, the Institute can- vassers reported, has been excel- lent, and indications to date are that there will be a nearly com- plete turnout when the mobile X- ray unit is in action at Staffa. Speaker at the meeting was Staf- ford Johnston, R.R. 2. Mitchell, county chairman for the mass X- ray survey in Perth. The visit of the mobile Xray units to Perth, May 6-17, he said; will be the first such opportunity in five years, for the general public toget free chest X-rays; the next such chance, he said, is not to be expected for an- other four or five years. When the mass X-ray survey was last done in Perth, said Mr. John- ston, in May of 1952, a total of 10,- 431 people were tested. At the ord- inary rate of $5.00 for an X-ray, that represented free X-ray service that would have cost $52,155 if the people X-rayed had had to pay at the usual rate. Anyone hi Hibbert who; is not able to get to Staffa on May 6, Mr. Johnston said, can take ad- vantage of the free X-ray service anywhere' else in Perth during the fortnight the survey is in progress. Other conevnient dates for people in the Dublin area, he suggested, might be May 7, which is to be the second day of a two-day clinic, at Mitchell Crystal Palace. or May 17, when a one -day clinic is to be held at Fullerton .Township Hall. President of Dublin W.I. is Mrs. John Nagle, and secretary is Mrs. Joseph Looby. The meeting Tues- day was held at the home of Mrs. Reuben Atkins, CLUB WORK ADVANCES IN ONTARIO; 10,000 ACTIVE WITH 4-H Popularity of 4-11 Homemaking Club's in Ontario is demonstrated by the fact that some ten thousand girls were enrolled last year in food, clothing, house furnishing, hospitality, gardening and home de- fence clubs. It appears that there will be more clubs and more mem- bers this year—more girls learning to plan meals and cook and sew, to be good hostesses, to dress be- comingly, to grow both flower and vegetable gardens, to make sim- ple furnishing accessories for their homes and Co keep themselves fit physically and mentally. This rapidly expanding. practical and popular type of home econ- omics education is carried on un- der the leadership of local women who give their services voluntar- ily. At present there are 1.164 On- tario women acting as club lead- ers. They meet with their County Home Economist, who supervises 4-H Homemaking Club work, at training schools where they take instruction in the project they are to direct and frequently they offer their own homes for the club meet- ings once a week. This co-opera- tion from local leaders is of valu- able assistance to the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture in carry- ing on its program of 4-H Home- making Club work. It is gratifying to County Home Economists and local leaders that a growing number of newcomers to Canada are joining the home- making clubs. The experience should be helpful to these girls not only because it gives them a chance to learn Canadian ways of keeping house, but because a 4-11 Homemaking Club is a social as well as a learning group. When. the members meet in one another's homes or in that of their leader, they not only have a lesson in some phase of homemaking and a busi- ness session where they learn something about how to conduct a meeting; they also feel that they are having something akin to a party. It is a fine means of mak- ing a girl from another country feel at. home among her new neigh bars. . bYiiehta igl Club. worktan do i eotliei• iris "t'h probs who is trying to keep house for the family. Club leaders seem par- ticularly proud of the way these girls put into practice what they learn in their clubs. And especially heart-warming is the story of Audrey Williamson, of Stormont County. Audrey whose problem is that she has almost entirely lost her sight, is fourteen and in Grade Seven at the School for Cs e Blind at Brantford. While shealasat home in the summer months she takes part in the Far- ran's Point 4-H Homemaking Club and last year she completed the project Working With Wool, mak- ing herself a wool jumper and a blouse to wear with it. She does her record book in Braille and her older sister translates her notes word for word on the opposite page. She herself collects and mounts illustrated material in her book. Through working and playing with other girls, Audrey soon ev- ercame her shyness with stran* ers and is also gaining confidence through speaking in public. At the Achievement Days she now takes a full part in the program and al- so finds her club experience of great help in the course in home economics she is taking at school. She has a real love of music 'and plays both the piano and violti Another evidence of the interest 4-H Homemaking Clubs have for girls is the way senior girls ..con- tinue in the work.
