When editor George Brown of
the ,Toronto Globe received a
copy of the British North
America Act in 1867, he ap-
praised its news value as worth
the whole of Page 1 and much of
Page 2. if subscribers did not
wish to peruse its 11 sections
and 146 subsections, they would
not have found much else in
that day's issue. The B.N.A. Act,
assented to on March 29, 1867,
by Queen Victoria, set up the
provinces of Ontario, Quebec,
Nova Scotia and New Brun-
swick as the Dominion of
Canada. Only a sour reaction in
the United States prevented
adoption of' the title, Kingdom
of Canada. It was preferred by
John A. acdona14 irst,prime^-
minister, but was rejected by the
British Cabin,,,pt when the
minister at Washington.reported
that it,"aroused much remark of
an unfriendly character in the
United States." An editorial in
the Globe issue here mentioned
is' headed, "The Kingdom of
Canada."
This 1867 issue is one of a
number of old papers found in
the attic of Mrs. Kenneth Hun-
ter's house here, evidently
preserved °by Dr. A.C. Hunter.
They were shown to the Signal -
Star by Colin Hunter, of Sarnia,
a brother of J.K. Hunter, who
died here on Aug. 4, 1971. He is
a grandson ' of Hon. Malcolm
Colin Cameron, of
, Maples," Goderch, who from
Confederation to -4896—was-

South Huron and later West
Huron. Archibald Crosse Hun-
ter and Grace Emily Cameron
were married in 1900. In 1912
the Cameron ' house was
acquired by the hospital board
and the spacious bedrooms up-
stairs became hospital rooms.
When Mrs. Hunter died, she was
a patient in the room in which
she was born.

A safer Christmas
will be yours if
toys purchased right
Christmas shopping will soon
be in full swing and the Council
on Family Health in Canada
has a few pointers for buying
Christmas presents for children
— particularly toys.
Toys that are colorful, attrac-
tive and educational may hold
unsuspected dangers. Baby rat-
tles that come apart to reveal
sharp spikes inside, toy . stoves
that can become hot enough to
burn, balloons with whistles
that can be detached and ac-
cidently swallowed, are just a�
few of the hazards to watch for:
Manufacturers are. realiziing
-this -hatard and have redesigned
and in some cases discontinued
production of,....certain ' toys.
However, some of these products
may still be on sale in stores. If
parents exercise good : buying
judgment, these 1 nccident-
causing products will eventually
disappear from the market.
The Council, a nonprofit
organization established by
members of the drug industry to
promote and encouragesafety in
the home recommends the

_following guidelines when
buying children's Christmas
toys.
1. Keep in mind the age and
size of the child you are buying
for. Think of his speed and dex-
terity and the area of the house
in "which he• plays with toys.
2. You should also keep in
mind the ages of other children
in the family. That chemistry set
for 12 year-old Tommy could
end up in the hands of four -
Year -old Susie. Consult parents
about this type of purchase. Is
therea.-puce where the amateur
Einstein can conduct his. ex-
periments safely -out of the -reach
and eyesight of younger children
in the family?
3. Spend some, time with the
toy you are about to purchase.
There usually is a model on
display that you can examine.
Take it apart it you can, feel it,
tap it, see if it pulls apart. Malice
a . mental list of the following
things to look for before you
make your purchase: small
detachable parts that may be
swallowed; brittle plastic or
glass that breaks easily and
leaves sharp edges; poorly con-
structed toys with sharp spikes
° or pins • that are exposed when
the toy is pulled apart; toys with
triggers, gears or other parts ac-
tivated by a 'spring or motor
that may pinch fingers or catch
hair.
4. Remember that arrows, toy
swords or daggers Should be tip-
ped .with some soft substance
that cannot be removed. Suction
tips can come off exposing a
dangerously sharp point.
5. And, while instructions are
not necessarily a safety feature
— be sure they are enclosed and
you can understand them. Poor
Dad will go through a night-
mare Christmas day if these.
aren't part of the gift. Incorrec-
tly assembled- toys may also be,
dangerous.
