The Canadian Oheerlo Club is an-
nounciog through the columns' of the
press of Canada, the United States,
and Newfoundland, the promotion of
a, movement of far-reaching import-
ance and significance.
This is"a plan to promote an annual
international "Shut-in's Day," to be
held the first Sunday of June. The
purpose behind the inauguration of
this event is to encourage visitation
of the sick and disabled by those
members of society Who ordinarily
may riot give much thought to the
less fortunate among them.
Realizing the desirability and need
for such an occasion, the Canadian
Club of Cheer has decided to sponsor
Shut-in's Day in the hope and belief
that it, may bring some extra cheer
and fellowship into the lives of the
shut-in.
The Canadian Cheerio Club is not a
financial organization, having no fees
or dues for memberspep; it is dedi-
,cated to the social life and help of
.the handicapped, and its returns are
measured by the encouragement it is
bringing into the lives of those who
cannot mix in the normal social life
of unhandica-pped -people.
The movement is a worthy one and
should be an important factor in help-
ing to make the lot of the shut•in a
happier one.

TO'BE
All of us are -interested in long life,
and many are the tecipes for it. A
daily pint of hper—no beer--emoking
—no smoking—hefty beefsteaks—no
meat—every centenarian has a dif-
ferent tale to tell. There is, how-
ever, just one point on which all
doctors agree—that no man or
woman ever reached extreme old
age without a healthy. colon.
It is impossible to have a healthy
colon if you are the victim of consti-
pation. Waste matter stagnating in
the intestines sets up toxic poisons,
which seep into your bloodstream,
and cause lingering ill -health. The
main cause of constipation is lack of
moisture in your large bowel. Relief
comes only when that moisture can
be induced to return.
What Kruschen does
Kruschen contains several mineral
salts, which are blended in exactly
the right proportion,• to bring back
moisture to the large bowel. They
stimulate the organs of evacuation
to smooth, gentle action. At the
same time, Kruschen his a diuretic
action which helps to flush your
kidneys and liver, and assists in
ridding your bloodstream of the
poisons which previous constipation
left behind.
Naturally, the amount of Krus-
chen required to clear up a stubborn
case of constipation depends on the
individual. But once health and
spirits have been regained, the dose
should be reduced to just enough
to cover a dime, „first thing every
morning,
You can buy Kruschen from any
drug store—for 25c and 75c. Give it
a trial. Start today.
lost all they ever had. ,We realize
that many of our' workers are forego-
ing other plans and pleasures to help
win the war. We feel that there
should be 'a real sharing in sacrifice
by all of us, for this is not some-
body else's struggle. It is the free-
dom "of every one of us" that is at
stake, and therefore is a personal
matter, -which we have no right to
shift .ots the shoulders of anybody
else. "Let us each do all we can."
That is the .challenge of patriotism in
this critical day. We have observed
a little slackening of effort during the
last, week or so. No doubt most of
the spring cleaning is done and the
gardens all in. We hope there will
be a resumption of war work through-
out the entire community,' hnd that
before the hot summer weather come
we „shall' see an accumulation of many
finished articles ready for shipment
overseas.
In the last News Bulletin from To-
ronto, No. 12, word comes to us that
the Canadian Red Cross Society's
most northerly warehouse in England,
with all supplies, has been complete-
ly destroyed by bombs. Such things
are bound to occur in time of war.
Goods to 'replace those lost will have
to go forward as early as possible. In
view of einergencies like this it does
not behoove us to rest from our lab-
ors. We want ,as many workers' as
we can get in the 'homes and in the
work rooms which are opened every
Monday and Friday.
Our sewing quota for the 'next two
months is as follows: 10 pairs of hos-
pital slippers, 10 childeen's coats, 10
jumpers, 10 blouses, 20 night gowns,
5 knitted boys' suits.
The hospital supplies needed from
our branch are. the ,foflowing: 30 bed
jackets,' 10 suits of pyjamas, 10 per-
sonal property • bags. It takes about
•o,ne yard of cretonne to make a per-
sonal property bag. If any, person
would like to donate the cretonne the
same would be gratefully received.
Please phone Mrs. Middleton or Miss
Buchanan or Mrs. T. Sherett.
Our quota for seamen's, comforts
consists of these articles: 5 ribbed
eelmets, 5 pair seamen's long stock-
ings, 5 turtle -neck sweaters, 5 pair
two-way mitts, 5 scarves.
The Army and Air Force comforts
needed from our branch are; 5 pair
two-way mitts, 3 sweaters, 8 pairs
socks. Wool and knitting instructions.

YEARS. IN BUSINESS
W. J. Crawford Commenc-
ed Career With Jack-
son Bros.
Following a business career which
dates back over 58 years, one of Rip-
ley's highly esteemed and successful'
merchants, W. J. Crawford, on Satur-
day evening last ceased active service
to enjoy a well-earned vacation. Born
near Hensall in Huron County, his
first mercantile experience began 'in.
1883 when, he entered the employ of
Jackson Bros., general merchants of
Hensall. He remained with thein un-
til February, 1886, when their store
was destroyed by fire.
In October, 1886, he went tosRipley
where he entered the services of Dr.
E. A. C. Smith, who conducted the
village. drug store. After the fire of
July 13, 1888, which destroyed the
west aide section, of. the village, he
returned to MS parents' farm near
Hensall. In September, 1888, he en-
tered the employ of Dr. McDiarmid,
of Hensall. Returning to Ripley in
November, 1890, he entered into part-
nership with Dr. D. F. Smith and they
purchased the drug store of Dr. E. A.
C. Smith, which they carrired on till
January, 1894, when Dr. D F. Smith
sold his practise 'to Dr. D. AiMeCrim-
mon. The latter purchased the drug
business in October, 1896.
At this time Mr. Crawford purchas-
ed the grocery business of Archie Mil-
ler, which was conducted in the stand
now occupied by Sam Lum. This he
carried on for two years, handling
groceries and chinaware. In 1899 he
purchased 'the shoe and grocery store
of the late John Fluraberstone. In 1904
he widened the present store from 20
to 30 -foot frontage and built a ware-
house for the storing of flour and
feed.
From that time to the present he
has continued to serve the public in
one of the most inviting places of
business to be found anywhere in the
country. By cheerful and obliging ser-
vice he merited the confidence of the
general public ,and on sound business
principle he built up an extensive
trade. He gained a warm spot in the
hearts of the people who can scarce-
ly imagine business being carried on
in Ripley without W. J. Crawford.
During his years in businesshe was
assisted by several competent clerks,
among Whom were W. N. Bushell for
12 years and Bert Harris for eighteen
years. These were the longest in
point of service. Postmaster 3. A. Mc-
Leod was employed by Mr.,‚ Crawford
for over five years.
In December, 1892, he was married
to Martha Shelton. In less than two
years they, expect to celebrate their
golden wedding 'anniversary. As cite
Sens of Ripley they have been active
in church and conimunity activities.
For 40 years he has capably filled
the position of Treasurer of the Hur-
on Township Agricultural Society. He
is the present chairman of the Board
of Education. He was instrumental
along with the late Angus Martyn, and
Alex McMurcby in having the Ripley
Continuation School built in 1914,
Which has been an outstanding credit
to the community. He is a member of
St. Andrew's United Church, also a
member of the board of trustees. In
the days of the Rev. Adam, Mc(Steen,
the Rev. Isaac McDonald and the Rev.
Roderick McLeod, when the above
churoh was knoWn as FIuron, Presby-
terian church, prior to the admission'
of the organ in the service of praise,
he acted as precentor in the leading
'of the singing. His son, Orah W. E.,
who served in the air force in the
last Great War,- was recently called
to serve in the R.C.A.F. and is at
present stationed at Ottawa. A daugh-
ter, Mrs. H. P. Heritage, resides in
Toronto. '2
And now as Mr. Crawford, after
many years of active seryice, steps
aside for youth to carry' on, he will
still retain the esteem and respect of
his faithful friends, who wish for him-
self and his partner in life many addi-
tional years of happiness.

A recent development in avia-
tion is the Terrain Clearance
Indicator, which gives the height -
of a plane above the ground im-
mediately below it. The former
barometric "'altimeter gave the
height above sea -level only. A
pilot who drifted off his course
in poor visibility had no means
of estimating his clearance, and
was likely to, run his plane into
a mountain side.
The new indicator operates by
"bouncing" a radio wave from the
plane to the ground and hack,
and measuring the transit time.
The interval is too short to meas-
ure directly, so the frequency of
the transmitter is changed con-
tinuously. The difference between
incoming and outgoing frequen-
cies gives the number of waves
sent out in the interval. The
greater the number, the longer
the transmit time, and the greater
MAKING FLYING SAFER
the clearance. The meter is cali-
brated from 20 to 5,000 feet, so
that the pilot can tell gt a glance
how high he is.
Perfected by Ruelsell C. New-
house of Bell Telhone Labora-
tories, the indicator exemplifies
the many valuable by-products of
telephone research. Other avia-
tion devices have ,been developed
by the telephone laboratories
during the past few years.
The first of these was a two-
way . communication system,
whereby a pilot in flight can
keep in constant touch -with the
airport. A few years ago, when
this system was being tested, a
newsphper reporter climbed
aboard the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories test plane. When it was in
flight, he called up his editor and
said, "Hello, chief! .about
1,500 feet up hi, -the air and talk-
ing to you by telephone!" Great
was his chagrin when he heard -
the editor shout across the offiep,
"Jones is drunk again!"
As a result of these experi-
ments, the pilot can keep continu-
ously posted on the weather, land,
ing conditions and so. forth. At
the larger airports, where many
machines may be landing at one
time, this cernmenication, system
is used to "stack" planes at 'dif-
ferent levels, so that they can be
.brought in one by one.
Another interesting device helps
guide aircraft down when rain Or
fog makes safe landing difficult.
Intricate equipment translates
sound signals into light signals
at the administration building ref '
the airport. A tiny speck of
green light moving across a
screen of frosted glass gives the
exact position of the plane. Air-
port officials can note any, errors
the pilot makes in bringing his
machine down through the fog.

THE EIGHTH DECENNIAL
ensus of Canada
June 2, 1941
THE Census is the stock -taking of the nation — of its
men, women, and children; its agriculture, trade, and
industry; its housing, and general social condition. By
it, all Governments, — Dominion, Provincial and Muni-
cipal—are enabled to work more effectively and econ-
omically in the interest of every resident of the Dominion.
N. these days of
increasing Govern-
ment responsibili-
ties, no Government
can give the best
.1 service unless it has
detailed and accu-
.1- rate Ithowledge of
the people and their
varying circum-
stances. That is
why we request the
co-operation of all
Canadian citizens in the taking of the
Census. When the Government's
Enumerator calls at your door, re-
ceive him courteously and give him all
the information for which he asks.
Remember that he is in your ser-
vice. Accuracy and despatch in your
replies will promote good administra-
tion in your country, now under stress"'
of war and facing crucial post-war
reconstruction.
ALL INFORMATION SUPPLIED
HELD STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
. You can place absolute trust in the official
Enumerator, who is sworn to secrecy. ita
the infolynation which you, provide will bo
held in strictest confidence both by him and
the Dominion Bizreau of Statistics, and can
never be used against you by any tax-col-
4ecting, mililary, or other agency, or in any
court of law.
It is compulsory by law to answer the
questions, but you will be assisting your
Government in these difficultstimes by giv-
ing the information readily. and accurately
in the spirit of good ,citizenship.
