'CRIPPLED CHILD BENE'F'IT.
Goderich, March &th, 1932. •
Dear Sir:
tSbnie three or four years ago, the
,Lions Clubs of the County of Huron
undertook to provide medical treat-
ment for the Crippled Children of the
County.
After making a survey of the coun-
ty, it was astounding the number of
c'h'ildren that were found who could
be helped, providing someone provid-
ed the funds for equipment, h'ospital
and various services, and this has been
the particular interest of the Lions
'Chubs during these years. In many
cases the treatments have been, long,
and even in spite of wonderful co-
operation on the part of everyone,
have also been very costly. The fal-
loiWing are a few facts, showing the
progress of this work:
The Lions Clubs of Goderich and
Se'afbrth have held two •clinics, one
at Goderich in July, 1930, and the oth-
er at Seaforth in September, 1931. To
:these clinics the physicians of the
county brought their patients, and
Consulted with a specialist from Tor-
onto.
;Seventy-one children attended these
.dinies. A few of these children were
treated, the parents bearing the cost,
and all the rest were cared for by the
,Lions Club's o'f Goderich and Sea-
forth.
At the present moment, bhe- Gode-
rich Lions Club have ten children un-
der their care, coming from the fol-
lowing municipalities:
Dashwood 1, Colborne township 3,
Gloderich town 2, iHullett 2, West W'a-
wanos'h I, Shanley township 1.
Two of the above children are at
present in Memorial Hospital, Lon-
don, under treatment, and another in
the Sick C'hi1dr nes Hospital, Toronto.
The remainder are being taken care
of by the local d"ooto.rs.
During the past six months, eight
other cases have been 'referred to us
and as their family physician pro-
ceeds with the necessary treatment,
the Lions Club will meet vhe expensecure
in all cases where it is beyond the ab-
ility of the parents.
In 'order t'o raise funds to provide
for this worthy' work bhe Lions Club
of Goderich are potting on a show on
Thursday, March 17151i in bhe Capital
Theatre, Goderich,' "The Cuban Love
Song," with Lawrence Tibbett in the
leading role. This wonderful picture,
along with the comics, will be shown
twice on that evening, beginning at
7.30 p.m..
At 9.00 p.m. belttween the two shows
a draw will be made for lucky num-
bers for, the various prizes.
We apipeai to you, on behalf of the
Gripp'led' Chiildren of Huron 'County,
whom we are trying to help and give
as good an op'poiituntty in life as we.
have had, to ,give bhe above as wide
publicity as you possibly • can, and
through your interest assure success.
We. remain,

Until retiring fifteen years ago to Eg-
mondville, Mr. Love resided one thus

last summer, a defective chimney
caused the loss of this fine house one

of late, which Mr. Love philo-

measure, the lack of his eyesight. A
cataract deprived him of the use of
his deft eye and two years ago the
other was struck by a .branch that
flew up from his axe.

GIVES EXPERT TESTIMONiY
Mr. A. B. Farmer, who was princi-
pal of Seaforth Collegiate a couple of
years ago, and who, while here, gave
an extensive study of hand -writing in
a. prominent Stratford ease at the
time, is mentioned as giving exlpert
testimony in connection with a case
now before the ;courts. An. Ottawa
desp'atc'h dated March 7111i says:
Arthur B. Farmer, Toronto ;han'd-
writing exrpert, 'tes'tified before Com-
missioner Harvey to -day that the sig-
nature ,on "exhibit 7,". a document us-
ed . itt the. successful reparations-
olaim for loss of the schooner Gypsum
Queen, was "an uncommonly skillful
imitation." The exhibit was a certifi-
cate ialteged9y signed by John S. Hen-
derson, shipping registrar of the port
of Parrsboro,' N.S., attesting that
'Captain, Freeman Hatfield, master of
theschooner, was her owner.
The only other feature of the in-
quiry to -day was testimony of James
03. Skuce, of the Department of1Mar-
ine,that the Gypsum Queen's port of
registry had been transferred, from
Parrsboro to Bridgetown, Barbados,
in January, 1908,

convinced the latter was an imitation.
(His testimony took up the entire af-
ternoon's session. ,He was called by
Peter F. White, K'C., Toronto, com-
m'issfon`:counsel, and was given a rigid
cross-examination by L, A. Forsyth,

Under cross-examination Mr. F'arm-
er said he had been a teacher,journal-
ist, and tax -reform organizer, since his
graduation from the University of To-
ronto in, political economy. He had
taken, up the study of hand -writing as
a.hobby and had frequently been con -
suited as an expert since 1919, but had
not appeared' .in court as ;an expert un -
oil this winter.
Pt was in:cl>ica'ted that the commis-
sion .would produce a second hand-
writing expert to -morrow, , and that
counsel for Senator Lagan would also
call experts from Montreal and New,
Mr. Henderson appeared before the
commission in Parrsiboro when it sat
there a fortnight ago and testified• that
he had not signed the document. It
is expected that when the commission
has finished with the handwriting ex-
perts Senator Logan will be called,.
