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 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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
