There are a lot of Peeping Tome in
town these days. And most of them
do their peeping in the windows of the
store on the corner of John and Jose
phine Streets, in the Queen's Hotel.
Behind a facade of soaped windows,
Jack Orvis is getting things ready for
a new auto parts and sporting goods
store, which is expected to open there
in the next few weeks. A few clear
spots in the window soaping afford
just enough view of the proceedings
to interest pedestrians on the main
street.

Spring Feyer
The advent of the spring weather of
last week seemed to bring people out
of hibernation. At least one of the
merchants is getting out his fishing
tackle and putting it on display.
People are starting to advertise their
spring clothes, although next week we
may be in the middle of a blizzard.
Saw one of the town’s prominent
citizens poring over a catalogue of
golfing equipment, while others are
thumbing through hardware cata
logues containing alluring pictures of
fishing rods, plugs and whatnot.
Spring is bustin’ out all over, tempor
arily, at least.
Often wonder if they sell as much
fishing tackle during the actual sea-

How Many Organisations?
One of the suggestions made for
the celebration of Wingham’s 75th
anniversary was that every organiz
ation in town should be given a job
to do. Could be a good idea, except
for one thing. Who’s to find ’em all?
We doubt if anyone knows how
many organizations there are in town.
Start adding them up and you’ll find
there’s quite a few. Must be forty or
fifty church organizations alone, not
counting all the miscellaneous ones.
We’ll bet there must be at least a
hundred different organizations in
town if you could total them all up.
Some day we’re going to try, just for
fun.
A lot of people think there are too
many organizations around town. And
it could be they’re right.

On the Wing
While the new wing for the hospi
tal seems at times to be a bit slow
getting here, usually reliable sources
seem to think that work will be
started this year,
Right now they’re trying to iron
out some of the details in connection
with the financial arrangements.
There seems to be a good prospect
that something will break before too
long.
Optimists point to the fact that
the Provincial government is taking
more of a hand in hospital matters.
Orangeville Hospital, which ran into
financial difficulties, received assis
tance from Toronto. The feeling is
that the Provincial government knows
Wingham needs a new wing and will
see that we get it.

Unpopular Move
When not all the municipalities in
the hospital area would agree to as
sume their share of the cost of the
new wing, the hospital board clapped
a surcharge on patients coming from
the municipalities that didn’t. The
move was not too popular with those
municipalities.
Now the county council has made
a grant to Wingham Hospital, on con
dition that no surcharge is made. And
because of the $15,000 grant involved,
the hospital board has taken off the
surcharge.
Meanwhile, municipalities who have
contributed to the new wing aren’t
too happy about the county council’s
action. They don’t see why other
municipalities should enjoy the same
rates when they haven’t contributed
to the building fund.
Bruce County council made an in
direct contribution to the hospital,
without strings. Yet three of their
townships were being surcharged,
the same as those of Huron.
Contributing municipalities are now
talking of sending a delegation down
to Goderich, to see if something can’t
be done about it.

HEARTS AND FLOWERS/
Two weeks ago being St. Valentine’s
Day, we read two books to commem
orate the occasion.
The first of these is WHY DIE OF
HEART DISEASE? by Ted Kavan
agh, illustrated by C. W. Keeping.
Mr. Kavanagh appears well qualified
to write such a book: he has been a
medical student, a BBC broadcaster, a
free-lance writer (largely on medical
topics), and he has a heart disease
that he is able to live with. How he
has been, and is, able to live” with it
is thb-story he tells.
Kavanagh says—and this is cer
tainly no new idea—that the main
trouble with medical science is that
it treats the symptoms of disease but
never gets at the real cause. And to
him that real cause lies in the natural
poisons that are generated in the body
and infect s.ome organ because they
are not properly eliminated. To eli
minate those poisons there are three
main treatments: fasting (which
means a reduction in the amount of
food and a return to natural fruits
and vegetables) the washing out of
the lower bowel, and hot baths com
bined with forced sweating. These
treatments are to be taken only under
medical supervision, and the reader
is warned again and again to beware
of Nature Healers and self-diagnosis.
The author believes that the body’s
natural recuperative powers plus the
suggested treatments, plus sensible liv
ing will make the heart disease suf
ferer so well that he will no longer
need to be either “an invalid, a fad
dist, a hypochondriac, or just a damn
ed nuisance to yourself and to every
one else.” An he believes that not only
those with heart disease but those
with any disease or sickness can be
helped by using his methods; for he
says that the logical conclusion to be
drawn from experiment and experi
ence is that there is a common cause
operative to some extent in all illness.
And the common fundamental cause
is a bowel or tissue poisin that has
destroyed the body’s natural antidotes.
To those who would shout "Quack!”
to all this, we point out again that
the author insists upon medical super
vision, with detailed physical exam
inations, laboratory tests, and so on
—though, of course, it must be under
the supervision of a doctor sympa
thetic to the ideas of the book. The
worst thing a person can do is at
tempt self-treatment based on the
practices he outlines.
Even if you don’t believe what he
says, you should enjoy reading Ted
Kavanagh’s WHY DIE OF HEART
DISEASE? It is pleasantly, often
wittily, written and is full of light
hearted illustrations. And it’s written

HOW TO PO THE FLOWERS by
Constance Spry is the kind of book
we used to fry to pass off on un
suspecting English teachers as sup
plementary reading material, It has
only sixty-eight pages, including the
list of contents, a preface, an intro
duction, and thirty-two pages of pic
tures. Mrs. Spry, apparently, is a big
wheel in-the floral circles. She was,
for example, advisor on flower ar
rangements for the Queen's wedding
and the Coronation.
One of our most vivid recollections
concerning flowers is of a little drama
we witnessed a number of years ago
that go under the name "Drug Store".
There was no florist in the town and
the druggist operated some kind of
floral agency. On the day before
Mother’s Day he had no natural
flowers left in stock and was trying
to sell a few bunches of artificial
flowers to a rather shy young girl
of about eighteen. He was telling her
that their colors were brighter, they
were cheaper, they would last longer,
and they would give her mother many
years of pleasure instead of just a
few days. He was a leading citizen
of the town, a former mayor, and a
persuasive talker. The girl could offer
no argument against his, but after
a brief internal struggle and much
to his evident chagrin, she left the
store without making a purchase.
That little scene has always seemed to
us a symbol of the deep but inarticu
late appreciation of right-feeling
people for beautiful live flowers. (We
have always suspected that people
who clutter up their houses with arti-
enough to fill up this column Wh can
return to- Mrs. Spry and HOW TO DQ
THE FLOWERS. In it we especially
like the author’s general attitude ta
flower decoration. She lays down nd
set, positive rules, but is suggestive
and helpful, never dogmatic. She
says: ‘'Each individual jnu.St work to
the pattern of his own ideas or there
will be an end of originality.” It is
pleasant to think that in this age of
assembly-line goods and mass-produc
ed ideas there is at least one sphere
in which a person can be an indivi
dual,
