The objective, of course, is to reduce the possibility of accidental poisoning. One other aspect of such accident pre- vention generally is over -looked. It is re- ported in the current issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. In brife, parents should take their pills in private. In a study last year at the Norwalk (Connecticut) Hospital's poison centre, Dr, Alfred J. R. Koumans found that 67 per cent of the children who had swallowed potentially -poisonous pills had watched their parents taking similar pills. Not only should medicines be kept out of the sight and reach •of children, Dr. Koumans con- cluded, but the use of them should also be kept out of sight. In the first half of this year Alberta's poison control service recorded 413 cases of accidental poisoning from drugs and medications. No one can say how many cases resulted from children seeing their parents taking medicines, but no doubt the figure is substantial, --Stratford Beacon - Herald). Prepare For Post -Harvest Spendin The approach of each of the four sea- sons brings the need to buy goods in pre- paration for them. Families must be sup- plied with suitable clothes. Homes need furnishings and appliances or replenish- ments of then. Houses need repairs. In- numerable items are required to contri- bute to our material welfare. Storekeepers and manufacturers are keenly aware of those spending periods as well as the big turnover expected at the festive season, They look ahead and prepare for them. In a small town situ- ated in an agricultural area, one of the main purchasing periods comes after the harvest is in and winter comfort begins to be considered. Many successful businesses in small towns have been built on the sound prin- ciple of providing a reliable product or worthwhile service at a fair price. But the businessman in a small town today cannot afford to sit back and rest on even such a good reputation. Competition is too keen. Big stores operating on the catalogue system claim a large share of sales. Travelling is no object with mod- ern cars on good roads. Businessmen in small towns have to consider other factors too nowadays, such as parking, entertainment and good eat- ing places. before they can expect to pros- per, or even survive. If to these are add - e d thoughtful consideration, courtesy, cleanliness, fair prices and prompt atten- tion, small town businesses may continue to provide a reasonably good living for their owners for a long time to come.— (Nanton (Alberta) News).

Lutheran Young People Take Charge Of Sunday Morning Church Service ZURICH — Sun. Sept. 12, was observed in St. Peter's Lutheran Church as Youth Sunday. Mem- bers of the Luther League read the lessons, and gave a formal presentation called " Lord I be- lieve—". The aim of the pres- entation was greater understan- ding between youth and adults in the church. It was divided into three parts dealing with three of the 'quest - tions that youth are seeking The first question "Who are we," was given by the president of the group, Louis Willert. Although there are some things that we know about teen- agers, this is not an easy quest - tion for theta to answer. They look to adult Christians for their understanding and help." The second question "What are we to believe," asked by Judy Moore, frankly faced the minds of young people. "Rut behind our doubts is a basic existence of doubts in t h e father who desired help for his faith in God. Thinking of the epileptic son from Jesus, and who said "I believe ---help my unbelief," this was given as very typical of young people. As it was sstated, "We, too, believe and we pray that God, through His Church, will help our un- belief. The last question "What can we do with our lives both now and in the future," presented by Carol Rader, brought out the honest desire of 'youth for con- crete positive action as a re- sult of their belief in God through Christ. The presentation ws introduc- ed and concluded by remarks "from pastor Fischer, who took this opportunity to suggest to the congregation that there should be some other persons besides the pastor who are tak- ing a responsible interest in the youth group of the church. There is a need for some indi- viduals, or perhaps a young couple from the congregation, to act as advisers to the Luther League and assist them in any way they can. The loose offering went to the youth program of the church. Those . who read the lessons were Sharon Hugill, Mary Ellen Thiel and Richard Klopp. SUGAR and SPICB Sometimes I wish life would the Massacre of Glencoe. stop being so interesting. There are moments when I'd like to relax, fall into a pattern of gr- cious living, and, coast quietly downhill to the grave, like a Christian gentleman, secure in the knowledge that St. Peter was chewing his nails with im- patience waiting to conduct me to a quiet corner of the place. But it doesn't seem to work out that way. There's always some giganti foffawraw in pro- gress, either in the world at large, or around our house, to keep me upset, confused, ex- cited, roaring road, or exhaus- ted. Take the Berlin crisis, for example. By the time this app- ears in print, you, gentle read- er, may have been blown sky- high by a nuclear missile. If this happens, feel free to cancel your subscription. And please accept my heartiest congratul- ations for being out of it all, and give my regards to God, eh? * Personally, while I'm not a pacifist, I would not go to war with a four-year old pygamy over Berlin. I am about • as con- cerned over the rights of the Berliners as they were over the rights of the people of Warsaw in 1939. I know,.I know, there are many wonderful German pe- ople. And I've met quite a few of them. Call me the intolerant, prejudiced, or what you like, but I've felt a slight coolness toward the race since a half a dozen of them tried to kick my brains out, in a station yard in Utrecht, seventeen years ago this month. That reminds me, I had a letter this week from old friend Gene MacDonald, editor of the Glengarry News. It seems that the 22nd chieftain of the Mac- donnell clan was out from Sc- otland this summer visiting among his kinsmen in Glen- garry, Ontario. There are more McDonalds and Macdonells and MacDonalds in Glengarry than the Campbells wiped out at Anyway, Gene was talking with the Macdonell, and learned that the latter was an old Sp- itfire pilot and an ex -prisoner - of -war. He asked the chief if he'd known me there, remembering that I was in the jug. "Sure I knew Smiley", exclaimed His Chieftainship. "He bunked right across the hall from me in the Stalag Luft." It turns out that he was call- ed "Mac" in prison camp. There were approximately 800 char- acters called "Mac" in our camp so I can't place him, but it goes to show you. :r= 5 * Speaking of prisoners, I lear- ned Sunday morning, at a fairly unholy hour, that it was my fifteenth wedding anniversary. First I knew of it was when the lady who was lying beside me, eyes shut tight, pushed me to- ward the far edge of the bed with one foot, and mumbled, "Leesha can dooz gemeezum brekfus nour annvrsy." And if you think that isn't a shocking way to be wakened on a warm September Sunday morn, wait till it happens to you, Well, I got her some break- fast. The blasted kids, who are always up with the birds, were already gathered around the table, just like little robins, gaily discussing the swim I was going to take them for, as I stumbled and groaned around the kitchen in bare feet and shorts. They scoffed three sl- iced peaches each, and four of my special Runny Scrambled Eggs, before I could get a bite to the Old Girl. And she couldn't .swallow a morsel. Nerves. Our anniver- sary coincided with her debut as organist in the church. She hadn't slept a wink all night, but had dozed off, after four tranquilizers, at dawn. What a day! It was about 280 degrees in the shade, but her hands (continued on page 3) Business and Professional Directory AUCTIONEERS ALVIN WALPER PROVINCIAL LICENSED AUCTIONEER For your sale, large or small courteous and efficient service a t all times.
