A psychiatrist was examining
a selectee. “What’s your occup
ation?”
“I’m a gag writer for tele

“Let’s see you invent a gag

The selectee rose slowly, went
to the door, looked down at the
long line of selectees and shout

Chest X-Ray Campaign
In Middlesex Under Way
The mass chest x-ray campaign
in Middlesex started this week
When canvassers began rapping
on doors to request residents to
check their chests at free clinics,
The clinics for the north end
of the county will be held around
the first of November. The
schedule was released recently
by Hugh Filson, Denfield, who
is publicity chairman for the
drive.
■Canvassers in the county have
been attending briefing meetings
for the past two weeks to prepare
themselves for the door-to-door
campaign to persuade Middlesex
residents to take advantage of
the clinics.
Officials of the junior farmer
organization, which is sponsor
ing the campaign, emphasize that
getting the chest x-ray is a simp
le, quick procedure. It only takes
a few minutes because all the
person has to do is to step up
to the machine; he doesn’t even
have to undress. A week or so
after the x-ray has been taken,
a confidential report on what has
been found is received.
■General chairman of the coun
ty survey committee is Miss Mad
eline Hardy, of R.R. 4, Denfield.
Mr. Alex McComb, of R.R. 2
Denfield is co-chairman.
'In charge of the North Middle
sex district are Mrs. Rajr Camp
bell, Miss Joyce McEwan and Mr.
Ben DeKay; the east section is
being administered by Don Mid
dleton, Miss Joanna Anderson
and Wm, Grieve.
In the Lucan Community, the
x-ray unit will be at the arena
on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov.
2 and 3, from 2 to 5 p.m. and
from 7 to 10 p.m. Mrs. Sher
idan Revington is the survey
chairman.
In the Ailsa Craig Community,
the unit will be at the town hall
on Monday, Nov. 1, from 2 to
5 p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m. At
Parkhill the survey will be made
in the town hall on Thursday
and Friday, Nov. 4 and 5, dur
ing the same hours.
Honesty Pays Off
Heather Acheson, 10-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
Acheson, picked up a wallet on
the London Market containing
$166 in cash and two $6 cheques.
Her mother notifed the police and
the owner, Alphonse Verba, came
out to Lucan to pick up his wal
let which he hadn’t missed until
notified by police. He was so
overjoyed to receive it back that
he rewarded Heather with a $5
bill.
Bride-Elect Feted
Mrs. Howard Black and her
daughter, Mrs. Milton Price, were
hostesses to 20 of their neighbors
who met at the former’s home to
do honor to one of Lucan’s popu
lar bride-elects, Miss Audrey Mar
shall, by presenting her with a
miscellaneous shower.
Three contests were features of
the evening’s entertainment, Miss
Marshall winning two of the
three, “guessing beans in a bot
tle” and “the names of articles
in a bag.” The third contest,
“jumbled words,” was won by
Mrs. Ross McRoberts.

PRECIOUS
PEBBLE
Back in 1825 the Danish
scientist Oersted produced the
first pebble of metallic alu
minum. Half a century passed
before a technique was discov
ered for turning out the metal in
quantity.
Modern processing of bauxite
ore to make low-cost aluminum
uses fantastic quantities of
power. That is why Canada is
one of the world’s major alu
minum suppliers. In Quebec
province, smelters at Arvida,
Shawinigan Falls, Isle Maligne
and BeauharnOis last year used
nearly one-fifth of the country’s
total electrical output, And in
British Columbia new sources
of water power are feeding the
pot lines of the new smelter at
Kitimat. Aluminum Company
of Canada, Ltd. (Alcan).
