Miss Helen 13. Gardiner, of Niagara Falls, has been engaged as supervisor, and two Huron county girls as school nurses. They are Miss Mildred Haberer, of Zurich, and Miss Jean Falconer of Brucefield. Miss Gardiner arrives in Clinton on August 1st, and the others later in the month. It is hoped to secure one more nurse. The head office will be in Clinton in a building rented, with janitor service, from Frani. Fingland, K.C. It is being renovated and decorated inside and out. All new furniture has been purchased and a new heat- ing system installed. The office will be one of the most np-to-date of its kind in the province. The whole county will be taken in for the school nursing plan, with the exception of Goderich, which has a public health service of its own. At a meeting of the property com- mittee of the county council it was decided to ask an architect to submit plans and estimates for remodelling the county court house; also for plans for a new building. *'blute actoal ,1.

For Lt. -Col. Gordon Howard McTavish, killed on active service with the Royal Canadian Engineers, Dieppe, August, 1942.) This was your birthday, 0 yes I remember it well. When you were small, there' was a cake with candles, And once when you were quite a man And hadn't bothered with things like that for years, I made you a cake, complete with candles, And you were ,touched to the heart. Quickly the ,years go over. Three summers dead fighting for your country And yet, quite swiftly can I call you u To star the room with laughter. Human, alive, complete with all the endearing faults' That trade you, you. This is immortality A's you would have wished it. Not "whitewashed" out of all semb- lance; Not deified or frozen into the glass Of a church window. Hitt warns in the heart. Carried in each person who knew you, To be passed on to the next genera- ti on By word of mouth And anecdote. Spoken of, often, Brought into casual conversations To become part of the current life, Never forgotten 1 This was your birthday. No clay for mourning, You were hearty, laughing; We will make holiday, Light candles in the evening, Smile at the things you did When you were 'so, 'big"! You will know that we, are lonely Without weeping. 0, yes, we remember it well: - A real housing shortage is develop- ing ill Senfot'th.
