McNAB WELCOMED DAGKTBOM ENGLAND r SUSTAIN ENGLAND’S MIGHT HE TOLD OF THE „ WHITE PLAGUE .. Prime Minister Churchill referred to the. .Air Force when he said ?Never, Was So Much-'Owed By So Many To So Few,” but he could have said it with equal application to the people of England who by day and ’night are being bombed out of house, home and treasure, yet they hold fast to that “Island For­ tress” thut the rest of us may be'secure. . > WHAT SHOULD BE THE MEASURE OF OUR GRATITUDE ?-r TH-E LORD MAYOR’S FUND is designed specially to help those sorely- pressed people of England’s cities and countryside, who have neither time nor opportunity to,help themselves. They are too busy guarding the bastions of civ­ ilization in order that the priceless treasure we call liberty shall live. ✓ i b Sg| The Guest Speaker “Never Was So Much Owed by So Many To So Few” J Churchill JIM HUNTER The Popular Telegram Talking Reporter will tell us all about it; he is to be the guest speaker at the Lord. Mayor’s Fund Entertainment in Wingham United Church Saturday Evening, March 22 In4 an article written for “Health", official organ of the Health League of Canada, shortly before his death, the late Dr. J, W. S. MicCullaugh defines the early symptoms of tuberculosis as; Being top easily tired. Loss1 of weight, Indigestion, and A cough that hangs on. Pleurisy may be one of the first signs of tuberculosis in ^dults, as may also be a spitting of blood, however slight. Nervousness, disturbed sleep and a run-down condition are all symtoms to be suspected. •' The tubercle bacillus is passed from person to person in various ways, Dr. McCullough points out. The consump­ tive who coughs with uncovered mouth sprays the air around him .with the bacilli. If he spits on the floor or sidewalk the germs are likely to be mixed with dust and blown about for others to breathe. Bacilli may be de­ posited on a spoon, drinking cup, pipe or other article held in the mouth of a victim. If these are used without a thorough cleansing by a healthy per­ son, he may contract the disease as a ■result. . • Unpasteurized milk, if taken from a tuberculous cow, is likely to infect the drinker. A tuberculous mother who kisses her most sure the child. By way lough urges that children of school or pre-school age, students in secondary schools and workers be examined per­ iodically by a T.B. expert. There is no serum, vaccine or medi­ cine that will cure tuberculosis, and patent medicines are likely only to make matters worse, Dr. McCullough declares,-but tuberculosis may be cur­ ed if taken in time, and the one rem­ edy" which has stood the test of time is complete rest in bed. He urges the sanatorium as the best place for the treatment of the tubercu­ lous patient, not only because he will ■baby on the mouth is al­ to pass the disease on to of prevention, Dr. McCul- assisted by local talent in a splendidly diversified programme of readings and voc- , al and instrumental music.

Hunting For Self Pilot’s Assignment A case of mistaken identity sent a Trans-Canada Air Lines pilot off look­ ing for himself recently. The pilot had been practising flight manoeuvres in a new Lodestar passenger transport when the air lines’ dispatcher called him with a request, to look for a mili­ tary bombing plane that was apparent- ly in difficulty 30 miles north of Leth­ bridge. Obligingly breaking off his routine, the pilot took new bearings and made for the spot. The country looked familiar when he arrived over­ head. Widening disclosed nothing amiss and then he radioed back: “Say, it wouldn’t be me I’m looking for would it? I was over here a half-hour ago.” Sure enough the telephone call that started the plane on its search had been made by a resident who mis­ took the big Lodestar for' a bomber and the practise “let-down” manoeuv- ers for an indication the aircraft was trying to find a landing place.

URGE PURCHASE NOW OF SEED POTATOES Ontario Agricultural Representatives have list of growers with certified seech The Ont. Dept, of Agriculture is en­ couraging farmers to purchase certi­ fied seed NW, before much of the present availablei-sfock -has been sold for table purposes. Many growers will require a change of seed. This is spec­ ially true in Western Ontario where continued wet weather ruined many potato rcops last fall. There should be ‘'ho' delay, the Department cautions, in arranging"for seed potato supplies. Results of 57. potato demonstrations over a 4-year period show an increase in field of over 100% where Certified Seed was planted, with- the proper mixture of commercial fertilizer with manure and keeping the plants well protected from insects and late blight. To successfully meet the competi­ tion in Ontario markets, only the best quality potatoes will sell. This can be accomplished only by using disease^ free seed,'properly protecting the crop while growing, and grading well be­ fore marketing. A recent survey by authorities shoves more seed potatoes for sale this year than last, with an increasing de­ mand each week for good quality table stock. Agricultural Representatives in ev­ ery county have a list of growers who expect to have a surplus of certified seed potatoes for sale; Prospective growers are advised to consult their nearest Agricultural Representative or write direct to the district inspector, seed potato certification, Ont. Agri­ cultural College, Guelph, for a list of Ont. seed potato growers; Subscribe now t° your favourite magazines and THIS NEWSPAPER AT A • The thrifty econom icai way, TO5UB5CRIBET0THI5NEW5PAPER n a n n a i li D n i rr WD Y00R FAV0URITE MAGAZ,HE5 DAnbAIN I HILt S^TSENSATIONMLYLOWPRICES ) 6 J i ££2Ms These offers are good for new or renewal orders.
