The Wingham Advance-Times, 1940-04-11, Page 24 PAGE TWO WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Quality That Satisfies .fine as we ever have tasted. There I are many who do not appreciate how delicious is this wonderful syrup made from the sap of the maple tree. ‘ It is a healthy food and one that is prized highly by people who cannot have it readily. There is no better maple syrup than that made in Huron and it appears as we write this article 1 that the crop will be a fairly large one. It i% a splendid cash crop for the ; farmer. Help home industry by using i your share of maple syrup this year.

All In A Day’s Work One mail carrier out of Mitchell, had an enforced round-about trip to cover his 24 mile$ route on Tuesday owing to the roads.

SUGGEST AGNES FOR THE SENATE The Ontario Chamber of Agricult­ ure, at its annual meeting, passed a resolution urging that Miss Agnes Macphail be appointed, to the Senate. This body are of the opinion that ab­ sence of Miss Macphail from Ottawa is a distinct loss to the farmers "as she was unceasing in her efforts on their behalf during her- membership in the House of Commons. Miss Macphail was the first woman member in Can­ ada. From a young green girl she de­ veloped into an experienced member and a clever speaker. Her knowledge along the lines she was most interest­ ed in increased with the years. She! was not a chair-warmer. She was a good fighter and blames her defeat on the condition of the roads at the time of the election. We are inclined to doubt this. Miss Macphail . has been in parliament for a long time and dur­ ing these years there is no doubt but that.she could not satisfy all her peo­ ple. The fight was ■ a three-cornered affair and $hese are always hard to figure, The Liberal government met with approval throughout the country. The swing was away from this first lady member. Miss Macphail always took the stand as a pacifist. Her op­ position to cadet training was known far and wide. At this time when we are at war the people voted to carry on. It may be they were a little afraid of her even, though she stated she wa’s 'for all energy being put forth to win the war. Ottawa has lost a colorful figure, one who stood by .her convic­ tions. We did not always agree with her, far from it, but we are of the op- OLD CHUM * * * * THIS IS TOXOID WEEK The Health League of Canada had . been advocating Toxoid Week for I some time and through their efforts (as the form which spreads among hu- Hog Cholera at Ripley Cholera, as dreaded among animals assisted by publicity they have a great many municipalities observing Toxoid week. This week is Toxoid week but it will go by the board, here, not be­ cause of lack of interest, but for the reason that toxoiding is done here af­ ter the fall school opening. For two years the1 authorities have carried out plan of giving these, treatments free and when the fall comes again the op­ portunity will again be presented. That diphtheria can be prevented by toxoid treatment is an established fact. Death toll in Ontario from diphtheria 10 years ago was 262. In 1937 the number of deaths throughout the whole of Canada was 369. In 1937, 30 deaths occurred from diphtheria in On­ tario. In 1938 the number dropped to 12 and last year was 7. As diphtheria is especially fatal to children between six months and six years of age, emphasis should be plac­ ed on having children. of these ages given treatment. This would be a splendid thing for mothers to remem­ ber when toxoid time comes around later in the year. Sjt ■ sjs tjt 5|s CARE AND COURTESY It will be but a short time until the highways and byways will be in sum­ mer trim. Then the traffic which has been very light- due to winter condi­ tions will again increase until it may be even greater than in former years. It is when the motor traffic is great­ est that the most accidents happen and many of them could easily be avoided if the motorist showed more attention to the slogan adopted a few •! years ago; “Care and Courtesy”. Make 1 it a point this year to drive carefully ■ and respect,the rights of others. 5ft 5ft MAPLE SYRUP TIME Somehow or other it never seems like spring until we have tried some of the new season maple syrup.

Procuring axes and a makeshift pick, they dug out over one hundred pounds of perch which they sold around town making a tidy profit out of “nature’s^ ice box’.” —Port Elgin Times • Lighted windows warn prowlers away.
