I wish we had never been given that
thermometer. It threatens to disrupt
the whole pleasant tenor of living here
at Lazy Meadows, For years we have
been living, quite happy, without scien-
tific information on the temperature
either inside or outside of the house,
In fact it didn't bother us at all.
When I went to the village it was
always pleasant to hear the arguments
about haw for the night before. There
was always a certain amount of dis,
agreement between the hotelkeeper and
the feed store man. The feed store
thermometer could be counted on •to
be at least two degrees lOwer than the
one hanging outside the hotel. In 'the
the summertime the feed store one was
always at least two' degrees higher on
a blistering clay-. Of course this was

During the five years of this war,
a substantial minther of men and wo-
Inca have been discharged from the
three services because of various types
of neurological disabilities. The gen-
eral .public find it difficult to under,
stand why such cases are so rarely
.pensioned for what appears to be a
.disabling condition which reduces their
susefniness in the general labour
market.
The situation as it now stands
•-places the person who comes into this
category in a special classification,
-The Pension Act says specifically that
'where an applicant for pension "has
a disability which is purely functional
hysterical no pension shall be
but such member of the forces
shall immediately be referred to a
Neurological Centre for treatment."
'However, there also exists a very on the say-so of the people concerned.
'specific provision in the Pension Act • Then on Christmas Day we un-

tne'diately put it outside the kitchen
window on the back porch. bother-'
ed nie all day and I had to look at
least every fifteen minutes to see what
the temperature was. Next morning
the temperature dipped down. and I
called Ed. Higgins and "casualty drop-
ped in the conversation the fact that
the temperature was so and' so. 'He
itimediately started arguing because
he had heard the temperature given on
the radio. The only trouble was, as
it later developed, that Ed. had got the
number of vitamins supposedly con-
tained in the sponsor's pills with the
temperature, .
Mrs. Phil then, slipped the ther-
mometer inside, She was horrified to
find that the temperature in the down-
stairs was three degrees higher than
a certain doctor recommended in a
newspaper column a number of days
before. We had to start working on
the fires so as to .get an even temp-
erature but without much success. The
kitchen range would start belching
heat to beat the band just about the
time we had the heater in the front
parlor under perfect control, When
we concentrated on the kitchen range
the heater would suddenly start giving
off copious blasts of Beat;
We have been reduced to almost
nervous exhaustion. It seemed also

LIONS MEETING
° PLEASANT AFFAIR
The monthly supper meeting of the
Howick Lions Club was held in the
Orange Hall, Gorrie, with a very good
attendance. The ladies of Gorrie Red
Cross served a most delicious and
bountiful repast.
Tail Twister .Ken Edgar was in good
form, as usual. Some of his efforts,
however, resulted in a fine to himself,
on charges of exceeding the price ceil-
ing, black market operations - or
what have you. For a wonder, he paid
promptly, probably fearing an enlarg:
ed case being made against him.
Lion's Gordon Gibson and Mac Mc-
Kenney had attended a District meet-
ing at Harriston the previous evening,
so were asked to report on same. Lion
Mac responded with an interesting de-
scription of the entertainment provided
for the occasion, which was graced by
the presence of many members' wives,
also of the subsequent meeting of dele-
gates from the various Clubs in Dis-
trict 16, Lion Gordon added the odd
item of discussion which Mac had
failed to recall. Both were of the
opinion that the Howick Club was
functioning on a par with the best.
It was agreed to have Lion Mac
arrange for a representative of the
C. P. R. industrial department to ad-
dress the members at the February
supper meeting, to be 'held in Ford-
wich, It was also agreed that Deputy
District Governor Eph, C. Gray, of
Palmerston, be invited to pay his of-
ficial visit at the April supper meet-
ing.

sed to the ladies the appreciation of
the members for the splendid meal,
after which meeting adjourned with
the customary Lions` Roar.

Wants Information About Bluevale
A letter has come here addressed tot
the "postmaster" from Mrs. C. A.
Hungate, Summerfield, Kansas, U.S.A.,,.
an amateur writer,• seeking information,.
about Bluevale, as she 'wishes to Make.
this village the background of her next
story. Her ' sentimental reason for
this is because her great grandfather,
Alexander Duncan of Bluevale parish,
Glasgow, came here in the early
eighteen-fifties and named the village
after his native parish. He gave the
site for the first Presbyterian Church
bUilding, the land for the cemetery
and part of his land was divided into
those village lots called the Duncan
Survey. A note enclosed from the
Summerfield postmaster vouches for
Mrs, Hungate 'that she is "OK" and
naively adds that she does not desire
"political" information, Data on Blue-
vale from the Huron Atlas will be
sent to Mrs. Hungate, (George
Smith is postmaster at Summerfield,
A. D. Smith has the similar position
at Bluevale.
Mr. John Messer is a patient in the

last few months. Friends hope for an
improved condition in a short time.
