FORTY YEARS AGO. Mr. and Mrs, Harry Dever, De, trolt, Mr, and Mrs. Jesse Button, Lucknew, and MISS'irving of Tees, ea were callers at Mr. William Feasant's on Monday. The reviler meeting ,•of the Wo- men's Institute was held in the Council Chamber on Thursday af- ternoon. Mrs. W. A, .SanderSen was chosen as secretary in place -of Mrs, Deans who has resigned. Mrs. Thomas Forbes gave an excellent, reading on "Why women should Vote", On Sunday morning about four o'clock one of the very fiercest of electrical storms passed over this section, The prairie flats were transformed into a lake and the Water was higher than it has been for thirty years. A horse belonging to H, Hawthorne, of Lower Wing- ham, was killed by lightning. A gang of Mexican gypsies land ed into town on Thursday and as usual Chief Allen „was on the jot. and invited them to leave at once. Altriougli they were dressed in the same glee rags, and had the same longing to get money or jewellery with which to tell fortunes, they, were not driving the usual vans but up-to-date automobiles to the tune of five. The electrical company are to place three more lights on Jos- ephine Street. One.. light will be placed near Mrs. Runstedler's another in froni of F, McLean': and the third in front of The Ad- vance office. 0 - 0 - 0 "Twenty years ago, one person in eighteen was over 65, now it is one person in 13, and the trend is continuing. community life in Canada, as, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere is going to have to adjust to an increasing number of older people in our midst, in terms of employment practices, health and recreation programs, and the .provision of suitable housing," de- clared Mr. W. S. Goulding of die School of. Architectinre, University of Toronto,. Mr. Goulding, who has recently completed a study of existing housing for older people in Canada for Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, was ad- dressing a meeting in the Geron- tology Committee of the Health eague• of (Canada, He •pointed out that the shift from country to city living has over the years created a twofold problem — the rambling farm-- house had in the past left ample space for older folk, but the small urban home was too small to accommodate two generations, let *alone three, He said that the answer did not lie in the large in- stitution, for increased years did, not necessarily mean infirmIty. "The;04 ea person needs to feel • • that he is ,e citizen first; in an institution he feels that he is an old person first," he said, "Let us keep the institution for the sick old person, and try to see that the general housing stock in our com- munities provide 'fdr the needs of an increasing number of older persons." • He pointed out that the key to housing for older people •at the moment lies in Section 16 of the National Housing Act, the Elderly Persons Housing •Act of Ontario, the Homes for the Aged Act of Ontario, and the. Charitable Institu- tions Act of Ontario. Mr. •Goulding •added •that' homes, for. the aged do not.- necessarily heard to be of the institution type; they may be' self-contained houses or cottages, boarding house types with housekeeping and meals pro- vided, or elderly people may go Into ordinary hoarding houses which are inspected regularly by provincial institutions. He said that we have now passed the stage when' urban housing problems can be handled by small Crop Report By A. S. Bolton During the past week approxi- mately one-third of the wheat crop in the county was cut with the binder and many of the farm- ers plan to thresh this wheat this week. Haying operations have been almost completed. With the sun- shine and adequate Moisture sup- ply corn fields in 'the county have made rapid growth. Last Wednesday a rather serious outbreak of. arrnyworm was re- ported in a corn field in McKillca): Township. The owner of this par- ticular fieldplans to spray the worms, COrn is' a crop which will make a remarkable recovery from the type of damage done by army- worm or by storms, charitable endeavors alone. More and more old people in our cities cannot find any suitable place, to live and our population is rapidly getting;_older. • What is a real problem• now may become an im- possible problem if we leave it any longer, he concluded. DONNYBROOK Miss Ludy, Thompson of Toronto was hpme over, the week-end. Mr. and Mrs. George Reeves of Toronto visited at the week-end with her brother, Mr. H.

There is another belief in some quarters that the Lions raise money so they can treat themselves to dinner at the hotel every two,weeks. It should, there- fore be 'known that the members of the club pay out of their, own pockets for all meals and entertainment and a goOd deal more that is left over to aid in the publie -welfare prOjects. There is scarcely a community in Western. Ontario Which has not felt the beneficial influence of service .clubs:and from their activities have sprung many of the most worthwhile improvements in public and pri- vate life. Often •the service club has provided the necessary spark for a new arena, swimming pool or crippled children's program. • Every particle of the 'effort which goes into ser- vice club work and its money-raising activities is given yoluntarily by inen who are among the busiest in the 'community.

It has been our ill luck to be forced into one-day trips to Toronto every week since the first of the sum- mer. HoW we, personally, would welcome a rail ser-• vice which would permit us to leave-the car at home. The provincial capital presents a driving hazard that makes even the most experienced motorist shake with fatigue,.. Admittedly we refuse to ride on a train which can't get us into the city much before noon, but we certainly would like to patronize one that would op- erate modern ,equipment and fill the needs of modern business life. If is quite true that Canadian Pacific has very little ,passenger traffic on the line which runs into Wing- ham. It would be equally true that motor traffic in this part of the country would be rather slim if the best we had was 1920 vintage cars. Surely Canadian Pacific knows all the facts about the type of equipment which is used in Europe, South. America, in fact almost all over the world, to keep railways abreast of other modern developments. Why are t.h.ey quitting at the very time when Western On- tario is beginning to develop into the well-populated, busy Market they have always needed?
