Had Beer At Rink
The Leader has been informed that
outsiders who attended the hockey
match last Friday night, had the
audacity to carry three cases of beer
into the building, where it4 was con-
sumed at leisure, We cannot under-
stand why someone at the rink did not
report the offence, when it would have
given the authorities the chance to ar-
rest the voff6nders, Having liquor or.
beer in a public place is illegal and
punishable by a heavy fine or jail
term.—Tara Leader.

PLAN RURAL HYDRO
EXTENSION
It will be good news to our rural
population that the Ontario Hydro
Electric Power Commission may this
year construct 300 miles of new lines
in rural areas, Hon. George ChaBios
says that in 1043 only 44 miles were
built. The plans for further extention
are of course contingent on the supply
of material and man power, Metal
supplies are more readily available
than they were and if there is a
greater supply on the market in the
near future the country is in for big
things so far as hydro extention is
concerned. Smaller municipalities
may get a break also if the amalga-
mation of the Niagara, Eastern On-
tario and Georgian flay systems be-
comes a fact. The basic cost per
horsepower would be a great deal
lower than we pay here at the present
time.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION
PRIOR TO MARRIAGE
Health measures are a great topic
not only of individuals but by govern-
ments these days. Ottawa has a coin-
mittee which has before it a health
scheme for consideration. The On-
tario Minister of Health is reported
to have a health proposition ready for
the folk of this province. The publk
are becoming more and more health
conscious and are ready to, adopt .a
measure that they feel will be of bene-
fit and not too expensive. There is
one 1.1`za that has been spoken of and
advocated from time to time but so
far nothing has been done about it.
We refer to medical examination prior
to marriage, ' It,is said that such a
measure would greatly benefit 'the
nation and when one sees the increase
in many diseases, both of the body
and the mind, it would appear that
we are in need of legWation that calls
for such examinations,

13ERLIN DOOMED CITY
A dispatch last 'week from Stock-
holm said "Berlin is doomed—it has
ceased to be a capital or even a town."
This statement was credited to a
Swedish traveller who had witnessed
the Wednesday American attacks on
the city. The R.A,F. and the R.C.A.
F. have by night given Berlin a real
pasting and now the Americans are
doing it by day. One who has not
seen the destruction caused by such
raids cannot realize the damage done.
However, pictures have given some
idea of the destruction that can hap-
pen under such circumstances. It is
deplorable that such centres have to
undergo such straffing but no mercy
cart he shown to our enemies or their
places of so called cultUre under exist-
ing circumstances. One can see al-
ready the hand of the pacifist in some
of the ideas that are being advocated
these days but we must be realists and
get thisk job done well this time. We
do not -want any mores wars that are
to end wars.
Fill your time with positive service
and good. Do not drift. Have defin-
ite things on hand to do. —Henry
Churchill King.
.PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
Ey Harry J, Boyle
Our sofa has weathered a, good deal.
Over the years many exhausted human
frames have been thrown on it and I
must say it has responded quite coin-.
fOrtably. Lately however the sofa has
been Presenting .a more or less (Mee-
ted appearance. Where it once looked
fat - and comfortable it started to look
more like a skinny horse after a hard
Winter.
The springs started 'licking up
through the fabric and chaff or straw
started falling out through the bottom,
When you rested on it, it took some
of the qualities of a contortionist to
escape:"the strange objects • that prod7,
ded up front the mysterious insides of
the sofa, Mrs, Phil threatened to.
either throw it .out or else put on "Out
of Order" sign on it if I didn't take
it into the village for repairs. 'When
company came she would have to go
around warning people to take other
chairs. If 'they did happen to sit clown
on it, you would see them squirm in
discomfort as- if they were sitting on
a nest of bees.
Yesterday it was blustering out in
late February fashion and I was en-
joying the comfort of the kitchen
Tuesday night when,• stepping off the t range. Mrs. Phil was sweeping and
came upon a pile of straw out of the
interior of the sofa, neatly piled in a
mound 'on. the floor. I had no excuse
. not even an ailment or a job that
lad to be done. 1 simply 'had to do
something about the sofa. Mrs. Phil
wanted me to take it into town but I
nsisted on seeing what the ' trouble
was.
It's quite interesting . . . this busi-
ness of seeing how a sofa is made.
First of all on the underside there
was a thin layer of black cheesecloth
. all' neatly tacked into place but
with a gaping hole in the mildle. Next
off there was some heavy burlap . .
also tacked' into place. I started to lift
the tacks-and' this' proved' a quite easy
task. In fact it was so easy that I
pulled up a corner of the burlap. and'
peered inside: SPUNGGF A spring
snapped at' me tapping me quite
soundly on the end of an inquisitive
nose, It brought the tears and it
didn't help matters to find Mrs. Phil'
smothering a' laugh.
- I tackled the sofa with a "make or
break" attitude. Reaching 3n r start-
ed to shift the springs that seemed' to
have all gone into a strange variety
of ways. I grasped on and' turned it
back into whAt I' thought was thei
proper way and started to withdraw I
my hand. It snapped' at me and' tile
pointed end of the coil- gouged' into
my thuinb. BlOod' spurted all over
and Mrs. Phil' ran for the. iodine and'
tie bandageS.
It took some time to.g-et the wound'
Ned up. Going back to the ohair r
turned it over to see'what had' happen-
ed to the top- of it. One spring by
this time bad' bored' up through the
upholstery and' it looked' not unlike
a worm coming out- of •a.n apple. There
was a rush and'a clatter and Mrs. Phil
looked horrified: Springs, burlap;
straw and all' had' fallen' out of the
sofa on to the floor. It was indeed a,
sad looking picture.'
I took the Whole thing into Ptter•
Smythe's woodivorking shop' this
Morning to get• fiked' up. He didn't
even bother-to ask what had' happened:
I suppose he ,gets a rot of things in'
t hat • condition: Fite ,learned' a' lesson'
and the cows are being milked' with
one hand' for the next week or so.
