Earl Hicks, of Pontiaije Mich., who
was killed in an autoyjiccident Sun
day, were brought to, Exeter Tuesday evening and the ^funeral Wed
nesday afternoon was field from the
residence of his uncl?0?and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George w4,>xer of the 3rd
Concession, of Steplfen. Mr. Hicks,
was returning to his home in Pon
tiac from Detroit when the auto in
which he was riding struck a steam
shovel on the highway with the re
sult that Mr. Hicks was killed. The
deceased was born in this commun
ity and was 32 years of age. Fol
lowing the death of his parents he
was raised by his grandmother Mrs.
John Sanders, of Stephen. He left
this community as a young man and
when war broke out in 1914 he join
ed the first division and went all
through the xvar being in Belgium
when the armistice was signed. Fol
lowing his return to Canada he was
united in marriage to Miss Alice
Press, of Duncan, Ont., who with
(three children, survive. The family
moved to Pontiac about seven
months ago. The deceased is also
survived by one brother, Samuel, of
Toronto, an engineer on the C. P. R.
The latter accompanied the remains
to Exeter together with Mrs. G. E.
Hicks and her sister, Mrs. Pilling, of
Toronto and her brother H. G. Press,
of Duncan, Ont.
The de
remedies
were dealt with in a clear and con
vincing way. In defective vision, it
was shown how glasses take the. ex
tra work off the muscles of the eye.
While the doctor was glad to report
that the pupils here were quite free
from such troubles as defective hear
ing, eye and skin diseases, lie de
plored the fact that very few had
been vaccinated against smallpox
and quoted statistics to prove that
this was an unfortunate mistake.
He dwelt on the great injury defec
tive tonsils and teeth are to the
child; he said goitre in children us
ually responds to treatment’, neglect
ed, it may result in serious injury
to the heart and nervous system.
He showed the benefit of adjustable
seats for correct position and com
fort of the children, Dr. Browning
voiced the feelings of all present
when he hoped the parents would, be
interested enough to try to carry out
the suggestions of the medical ex
aminers, so that the good work be
gun by the Board of Education
might result in the continued health
.and happiness of the young peeple.
His splendid address was brought to
a close with the assurance that in
telligent care of the health prolongs
life and postpones old age. Miss
Medd then, in a few well chosen
words, made it plain that the Home
and School Club stands for the
children of our town, that not only
mothers and teachers, but fathers as
well, share the responsibility, and
that all who are interested in young
people are welcome to join the club.
The business part of the meeting
followed. It was ’decided to have
the Exeter branch affiliated with the
Ontario Federation of the Home and
School Association. _ Miss Ross was
asked to represent the club as a
delegate at the 0, E, A. convention
in Toronto in April. The meeting
then adjourned until Friday April
29th.
