It te being threatened just now by gatherings that close churches and Sunday Schools—ass­ emblies that, after all, are little else than Sunday picnics, Bercy E. Hepburn, Collector of Customs in St, Marys died sudden­ ly in Victoria Hospital, London, fol­ lowing a serious oiperation. Five days beore his death Mr. Hepburn had set out, apparently in the best of health, with his wife and two little sons Bobiby and Billy on his holidays and were visiting with Mr. and Mrs. (Montgomery at Brampton. He was brought home on Thursday and taken to t'he hospital on Friday passing away the next day, August 11th in his 39th year. He was a re­ turned soldier having enlisted in 1916, In 1926 lie was married to Alma Wright, daughter of William and Mirs. Wright, the latter with 'her the late Emerson Wright were Exe­ ter residents or some time.

The president was in charge of the meeting which was opened by singing the Institute Ode followed by the Lord’s Prayer. The minutes of the last monthly meeting were read and adopted. The roll call was answered to by “A Book I Have Recently Enjoyed.” First on the pro­ gram was a monologue by 'Mass G. Gelinas entitled ‘The Flapper on the Telephone.” Next we were favored with a solo hy Evelyn Cor­ bett. iMiss Keddy ,District Presi­ dent, was then called upon who gave a fine address to the girls on Institute work. Miss Hazel Thomas ■then favored us with a solo entitled ‘‘The Man on the Flying Trapes.” The meeting then came to a close and the girlg joined the boys for the joint meeting. .Special arrange­ ments. were made at the joint meet­ ing for a corn roast to be held at Mr. Ben Elder’s on August 15th. On Wednesday evening iJuly 25th the Junior Institute and Junior Farmers held a weaner roast at the, ■lake. There were about ififty pres­ ent and a goo'd time was enjoyed by all. After the weaner roast we played games and after closed .by singing “God Save the King.” The next meeting ,o'f the Zurich Junior Institute and Junior Farm­ ers will be held in Hensall Town Hall on September the 5 th.

For it will never do for the government' to be de­ fied for days on end by gang of kidnappers. The government that does so falls: down at the vital point of government—the protection of the liberty of His Majesty’s subjects. To fail here is for the government to prove itself unequal in the crucial test. SUGGESTION Marshall .Lyantey, of France, has just -laid down his baton for the last time. In days' when it was the fashion to (belittle both the soldier and his work the London Times calls iciviliaation 'to a sane view of the accomplishment of the army and its rational purpose in the service of humanity by making the following com­ ment on the achievement of this great French public servant “he subordinated the uses of war to the work of peace, and saw con­ quest only a<s a method of extending the area of good government and civilization.” What Marshal Lyantey has done has been the aim of the true soldier in all ages. War is to. be avoided if at all possible, but' there are possessions worth holding even at the cost of war, terrible as war is, and there are certain duties that must be done, even when war is the price of their discharge.******** PLEASE NOTE Wo have just heard of a youth, pretty well known in a certain locality, who was given to driving his car when under the influence of liquor, that is after he had imbibied liquor. The officer told this youth that his practice was sure to get him into trouble and told him that the drinking combined with car-driving must stop^ This warning was repeated. Well, the other evening this young man was making an exhibition of himself when t'he officer again met him and told himto put his car in the garage forthwith and to leave it there for the night' and to go to his home till be was sober. The young man turned the corner and headed for an adjoining town. The officer followed him, locked him up, brought him. be­ fore the magistrate, had him pay all costs, given a .stiff sentence and his permit taken from him for 90 days and told that jail was his next place of residence should he flout the law in the future. Of course indulgent relatives, appeared in the youth’s behalf but the magistrate was a duty-<doing sort of person who told the rela­ tives that they had done a very bad job in the bringing up of the young man. We are giving a tip to some young men and others, including some young women and parents, that they had better sit up and think. The law of this land has some very good teeth. Magistrates have been shown that a stiff backbone is a requisite of their office. When they forget this', their resignation is being asked for.******** “IT WAS WORSE. IT WAS A BLUNDER” Of course Attorney-General Roebuck was legally right when he told the police of Stratford -to protect the chap the veterans of that city had escorted, firmly, gently, politely to the city limits and then told to keep going. He was a nuisance, undesirable, a not- wanted, they hinted, and he had better keep out. The law it seems was against the veterans, but two other factors were in the veter­ an’s favor—Society and Wholesome Public Opinion. We are reminded of the case of three highly flavored dames who set up their business' in an Eastern Ontario town. Youths were be­ ing taught the way to death, homes were being broken up and hell was let loose generally. The law looked on in helplessness say­ ing something about there being no “disorderly conduct.” Not so Society. A committee was appointed, a tough board was made in­ to a paddle, a can of tar was; bought and a “case” of feathers se-j cured. Silently the house was visited, the three dames and their sweet-smelling companions seized, well paddled, well tarred, com­ pletely feathered, and ridden on a sharp rail. The townsmen were released, returned home and told be good—.and very, very silent ( a command that was well kept, by the way) while the dames were carefully carried on rails to the edge of the town with the parting information. “Please stay away!” That’s- been ,a clean town ever since. And, by the way, what law of God or man offers' protection to anyone who makes a disturbing, business-unsettling, death-inviting nuisance of himself! He’s a wi^e man who minds his own busi­ ness. He’s a far wiser man who leaves other people’s business alone. The trouble-breeders1 will do well to cud on this.******** THE LONDON TINIES HAS THIS TO SAY Progress in Cancer Studly There is no department of medical study ‘today in which So much is being accomplished as' in that concerned with the cause and cure of cancer. Indeed the rate of progress in knowledge is now so swift that it is something of a mystery that a greater degree of success in actual treatment ‘h'as not been achieved. The secret for which all are looking lies close at hand. Every worker is im­ bued with 'the hope that it may 'be given to him or to her to dis­ cover the secret. Hope indeed characterizes every report about cancer research; it is the dominant note' in the report of the British Empire Cancer Campaign which was published recently. In­ stead of the darkness that for a century obscured this disease, there is light which every year grows stronger. Not' in one direction, but in many, as the British Empire Campaign points out, new knowledge has1 Ibeen won, new methods devised, and new results achieved.. 'Substances capable of causing cancer and substances capable within the limits of Laboratory experiment of destroying it are now obtainable, and the first of these can actually be made synthetically. Thus the .study of t'he disease has become a matter of exact science as well as of clinical observation. Nor is chemistry the only branch of science involved. The long history of the radiological treatment of cancer (treatment by radium and X-rays) i'si the story o’f the application of p'hysics to the elucidation of the disease. Chemistry and physics are both identified today with important discoveries and improvements in methods of treatment. The chemist and physicist are Mow in process not only of sharing their exper­ ience but also of joining forces. Thus a new attack is being launched along new lines. Nor are the surgeon and the physician excluded from the team. Bit by bit an order of knowledge is be­ ing evolved from the chaos of isolated observation's, and discoveries which during half a oontury have been accumulating. Should it be poissibde to relate by some common principle the various kitown causes .of canoer—and they are as apparently various as rays, chemicals, and parasitic forms—.another stride forward will have been taken; while even the assurance that such a principle doe's not exist would of itself possess value. The greatest of .all the difficul­ ties which until now have besdt the workers in this field is that of doubt. Everything connected with wuieor until a few years ago was doubtful., and so no progress’s could be made. That state of affairs no longer exists. CORONER’S INQUEST A coroner’s jury, under Coroner Dr. H. A. Henderson, found that the late Mrs. Helen Houston, 71-year- old Seaforth widow, came to her ceatli on Akigust 4 last as a result of an accident on July 3 0th at the corner of the i5-ch concession of the London Township and No. 4 High­ way, in which she suffered injuries. The jury found that William Dick­ inson, of Grand Bend, driver of the car which was in the collision with the car in which Mrs. Houston was riding, did not stop at the stop sign and was driving in a negligent man­ ner. Was Driving Slowly Thomas R. Hodgert, of Seaforth, who was driving the car in which Mrs. Houston was a passenger, said he had not been driving fast at any time, not more than 25 to 30 miles per hour, ana had cautiously slow­ ed down when approaching “Cala­ mity Corner.” He said he was only a short distance from the 5th con­ cession intersection, when he no­ ticed the other car approaching the intersection from the east, traveling taster than he was, and making no sign of stopping for the top sign. He estimated he (Hodgert) was traveling 20 at -the intersection and Dickinson “twice as fast.” SO YEARS AGO August 28th, 1884 Mis'ses Annie Weekes and Mary Whiteford, of Exeter, are visiting in London, and will also do St. Thomas before their return..
