Clinton News-Record, 1961-01-19, Page 8Black Cat 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, Library Board Made Up Of Same Officers Mayfield Correspondent) The annual meeting of the Bayfield Library Association was held on Tuesday afternoon at the library.

In their never ending -research program aimed at developing better protective clothing for members of the armed forces, personnel at the Institute of Aviation Medicine have found a valuable ally—e, copper man. The copper man was develop. ed in response to the need for ,a simple reliable device to re- place human test subjects in cold environment experiments. 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- parent that a substitute for humans was required. The copper man is essentially a copper shell fashioned in the The annual meeting of the Bayfield Cemetery Company was held at the home of the secretary-treasurer, E. A.

Manikins may be dangerous to human sub- (RCAF Photo) erature is a function of the temperature difference between him and •leis environment. This 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 subjects and has proven to be a very useful instrument in many ways in the, develop- ment of protective clothing. Benefit Dance At Bayfield Raises Over $400 (Bayfield Correspondent) The benefit dance on Friday night for Jim and Allan, Hutch- legs was the most largely at- tended in the history of Bay- field Town Hall.

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.
