Wanders On
Friday the 13th
(Itaven(' Correspondent)
Whether it is a good omen
or not, a beautiful black cat
With a white tip on her tail,
and a white shirt front, was
found sitting on the doorstep
at the Hut on Friday, Jan-
uary 1.$. She was very friend-
ly and stayed around the
barn until Sunday, when de-
spite all efforts to turn! her
bads, she followed a neigh-
bour to the United Church,
On Monday Mrs. William
It. Elliott, who called at the
Hut on Friday, telephoned to
esk if we -had seen her cat.
Mrs. Elliott had not been able
to persuade "Maggie" to stay
home when she came up
town, but thought the animal
would go home herself.
Mrs. Elliott had come iin
one door of the Hut and
went out the other. "Maggie,/
had kept a vigil near the
door where her mistress ent-
ered.
So, if any readers know
where the black cat has found
refuge, the Matte would be
glad to know. Bill has been
confined to the house with
-bronchial pneumonia, and he,
especially misses the pet.
Speaking of cats, the 15-
year-old matriarch "Weasel,"
of Hovey's Store, was rushed
to hospital at Zurich in criti-
cal condition last week. The
Hoveys thought she was dy-
ing, but following an opera-.
tion, the old girl came to, and
took nourishment. It will
probably not be long, before
she'll be sending any dog
which has the nerve to enter,
flying out of the store again,

Previously, the insulation qual-
ities of a fabric were determin-
ed by dressing human subjects
in the new clothing and expos-
ing them to cold. This was not
always conducive to the health
of the subjects .so it was, ap-

is not true of a human subject
whose heat production would
result in -active perspiring in
the same environment.
The copper man is not, of
course, a perfect replacement
for the human •test subject.
His chief deficiencies are that
he does not perspire, does not
move and is completely un-
emotional, Each of these fac-
tors has a hearing on the heat
balance of the human and can-
not be easily duplicated. On the
other hand, the copper man is
more convenient than human

The benefit dance on Friday
night for Jim and Allan, Hutch-

this community effort on their
behalf.
Jim Hutchings, has commenc-

blocks have been completed.
They are built into the hill at

opening out north, and the main
floor opening to the south. It is

Mr. and Mrs, John Watson
motored to Dundas a week ago
Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Watson stayed until, Friday
with their son Stuart and fam-
ily for the opening of the nut-
ter's pharmacy known as Ral-
pies Drugs Limited, on Jan. 5.
The old-fashioned store at
105 King Street W., (opposite
the post office), Dundas, has
been given a new lopk by its
owner, and is now the most
modem equipped he the dietrict.
From a, history of the Dundas
Drug Stores, we quote: "Thom-
as H. Ralph exemplified the
finest type of druggist. He was
closely associated with the lives
of literally thousands of citi-
zens over the years and his
kindly nature endeared him to
ell. `Tommy" as' he was affec-
tionately known, could always
be relied on to do his utmost
to relieve suffering and assist
in every way when troubles
struck home. His business, was
his life -and' hie outside inter-
ests! were few. A man who be-
lieved in "service beyond self,"
Mr. Ralph left an indelible im-
pression on this community.
"When. -he sold his interest in.
Ralph's Drugs to Stuart Wat-
son in 1957; the same fine tra-
dition of service was assured
because the new owner apprent-
:.ced with Tamblenes, having
graduated in pharmacy after
the war. He came to work for
Mr. Ralph in 1948 and served
with him for ten. years. Much
of that fine tradition of service
was literally injected into the
new owner, together with his
kindly, considerate and friendly
attitude toward the public.
"The old Ralph's Drugs is in
very capable hands and -al-
though eitizens of this district
will find the sparkling modern
store quite 'different from the
old store they knew so well, the
same spirit will be found in
every department. All join in
wishing Stu Watson the very
best in his expanded venture."
Ralph's Drugs has been as-
sociated with Rexall since, April
1910. Stuart Watson retains on
his staff two graduate :pham,
aciets and a cosmetician.

district join his friends in Dun-

Little Girl Has
Leg in Cast
(Eayfield Correspondent)
Three-year-old Karen Gem-
einharelt is wearing a east on
her left leg over the knee as a
result of a tobogganing acci-
dent on Sunday.
After visiting N, Brand-
ores hill, Mr. and Mrs, Robert
Turner, Gayle and Phillip, Mrs.
Keith Gemeinhardt, Linda,
Monica and Karen decided that
it was a bit too dangerous for
the smaller folk, so they went
to Miss R. Snowden's farm on
the Bronson Line, Stanley
Township, opposite Roy Scotch-
mer's, They considered this
little hill safe. Karen and Mon-
ica were on the toboggan when
it was stopped by a small shrub.
Karen slid forward and seemed
to catch her foot in the end.
She shed some tears but they
thought it was from fright. Mrs.
Turner picked her up and car-
ried her up the hill and Mrs,
Gemeinbardt took her to the
car,
Karen refused to put her
weight on her leg that day, and
the next morning, so her moth-
er took her to Clinton where
x-rays revealed a crack in the
bone, two inches below the
knee.
Provincial Police notified
Kenneth Brandon on Tuesday,
that his 1954 car which was
stolen after 12 p.m. January 6,
