The expenses for quilt linings, pillow cotton, etc., was $74.14.

Glass, stainless steel and lime- stone combine to form an impres- sive and attractive exterior, Shrub- bery and plantings will add a touch of greenery to Listowel's down- town business district. By C. A. DEAN, M.D, MEDITORIAL: If I were to ask most parents, "What is - your con- cept of a healthy child?" I am sure most would answer, "A chub- by one." They would be wrong. I don't know where this mistaken idea started, but I dw know where it should end—in the wastebasket. In children the trend toward fat- ness starts when eating habits are not kept in check and the child is permitted to eat everything and anything. Parents feel they must Iet the child have his regular meals and anything he wants in between. And if he won't eat at the table they permit all sorts of "goodies" till the next battle. Children should have an ade- quate, well - balanced diet and shouldn't starve. But don't overdo it. Even in children an excess of calories will be converted to fat and fat is as harmful to them as it is to adults. Maintenance of proper weight demands some discipline and this must start during childhood. It is the parents' responsibility to try to cultivate tastes for all foods, ineluding vegetables, so that a well-balanced intake is assured. I know these rules are simple to outline but hard to implement. I3owever, if parents are consistent, firri and fair they will have no trouble. I don't think there should he scenes er fights at the table; these can be avoided by developing good eating habits during infancy. There is always a fear that children. w;ll grow up unhealthy if they are thin. However, if an adequate diet is taken there is no cause for concern. And remem- ber, the child who is thin, that is of normal weight, is healthier than a fat ore. "The best thing for you to do," stated the physician, "is to give up smoking, drink and golf and keep very strict hours," "I really don't deserve the best," replied his male patient., "What's WEDDINGS Olt E--FINNIGAN Mr. and Mrs. W. 7.
