Venetian blind cords are a hazard to tots Venetian blind cords make an attractive -- and hazardous -- toy, so hazardous in fact that two toddlers lost their lives playing with them. Dr. Bornstein, a Texas path- ologist wrote that two toddlers, aged one and one-and-a-half years, were placed in their cribs for their naps. Both ba- bies were in excellent health, both were well cared for. In both cases the cribs were plac- ed close to a window which had a venetian blind. When the mothers went to pick up their babies, accord- ing to the physician, "both in- fants were found tangled up and suspended in the venetian blind cord and there were strangula- tion marks on the neck and other findings of accidental hanging." Our children face enough dangers outside the house, so at least we should give them a safe sanctuary at home. To- day's Tip. Keep dangling cords out of reach. SLEEP AND THE BEDTIME SNACK Bedtime snacks apparently have little effect upon how well one sleeps. Researchers in Mil- waukee studied 36 volunteers who for a week consumed a snack of a 2'75-calorie cereal serving before retiring, then for a week omitted the snacks. No significant difference was found in the frequency of body move- ments, an index of sleep depth, nor how they said they had slept. would that men should do to you, do ye also unto them for straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life." Minutes and correspondence were read by Mrs. Russel Ross. Fifteen answered roll call with a Bible reference to harvest. A poem, "The Quiet People" was read by Mrs. Ross. The topic, "The Seven Dis- pensations" was prepared by Mrs. George Fisher and given by Mrs. Emerson, God's meth- ods of dealing with man divides human history into periods, or dispensations. They are in- nocency, from creation of man to his expulsion from the Gar- den of Eden; conscience and sacrifice, from the expulsion to the great flood; human gov- ernment, from the flood to confusion of tongues at Babel; promises, from the call of Ab- ram to the giving of the law at Sinai; law, from the giving of the law at Sinai to the death of Christ; grace, from the cruci- fixion to the second advent; and the seventh dispensation, the Kingdom, from the second advent of Christ to the judg- ment. Silent prayer was offered for the sick and a mission letter was read by Mrs. Albert Mc- Quillan. Mrs. Emerson presided for the Ladies' Aid meeting which followed. Mrs. Dave MacDon- ald reported a balance of $99.56. It was decided to pay Mrs. MacDonald for mowing the lawn at the manse and a committee was named to see about covering for the east windows in the manse. Dear Editor: Can any of your readers tell me where I can find a deacon's (or elder's) bench? A what, you say? Well, not a pew in church, but a long bench that usually was against the back wall just inside the door of an old Presbyterian or Methodist (or other such) church. This bench was for the use of the deacons or elders, where they sat after any early duties in the service, or while the ser- mon was in progress, or while waiting for any later duties. Al- so, they could from there keep an eagle eye for any mischie- vous or naughty young people, and any young sharks who thought themselves unobserved. The bench would be of any wood locally available, probab- ly about long enough to seat three or four mere, (say five or six feet) usually with a high back fitted with spindles, curv- ing arms also with a couple of Spindles, generally with stretch- ers at front, back attd each end. They were usually strongly made, to last a lifetime, but not necessarily clumsy or heavy. I would be grateful if anyone would let me know where I could find Such a bench, in what condition if possible, and Personals and Mrs, Bill Wright and daughter Valerie ,Ann of North Bay are spending a few days with her uncle and aunt, Mr, and Mrs. Jack Stacey.

Dear Sir: Wingham and District Hos- pital should be commended for the efficient way "out patients" and emergency patients were looked after during the shortage of doctors in this district. I for one required the services of a doctor while our family doctor was ill. I went to the hospital where there was a line up ahead of me. Each one was taken in turn and received the medical aid they required by two doc- tors and a nurse. Just another patient. many old German mining terms originating in Saxony have been, adopted in other languages.
