David A, Floody Letter To The Editor: The district was saddened on Mon- day morning when it was learned that David Floody, a highly esteemed, and 112411ong resident of Myth and district, !had passed away during the night, at 1 his residence on Hinsley street, •11r, Floody had been in failing :health for some time, and had been confined to his bed for the past few weeks.

In 1000 ho married Martha Brogden, the wedding ceremony being performed by the Rev.

Dear Sir: - 1 feel obligated to Mr, A,b, Taylor because in my opinion he was defeated in the past election through lies and Propaganda pelpelrated by the oppos• itlon and his advisor to the effect that: "if Taylor was elected he and Rainton would put the town to the expense of $.1,000. at least, hy (Ahang- ing the intake and drains." slow many of you heard tion?

The late Air. Quinn had been in ill health for several years, and dm'iii the. last two weeks his condition had been considered serious, Mr, Quinn was the eldest son of the late Jessie Auld and George Qulrah.

Tho following despatch, dated Godertch, Jan, 23, appeared in Wednesday's Lon- don Free Press: "There is a strong possibility that a recount will bo asked by Harold Phil- lips, who yesterday was defeated by Lorne Scrimgeour by one vote in an election to fill a vacant seat on tho municipal council of the Village of Blyth, In tho same voting William Morrftt was elected reeve over Absolam Tay- lor ayfor by 311 majority. Now it is explained that both ballots were on ono piece of paper with a heavy black line dividing the names of the two candidates for reeve and the two for council. "Three of those ballots worn die - allowed by the returning officer bo- cause the voters had marked the bal- lot for both candidates for reeve but for only one candidate for council. If the council portion of the ballot was allowed by the judge and if the three vo4e9 were for Mr. Phillips, ho would be elected by two of a majority over yesterday's s»ccessful candidate, Mr. Scrimgeour. "Mr. Mlles has 30 days in which to aslr for a recount'' The Stae"t'd contacted Mr. Phillips by telephone this Wednesday evening, enquiring if he had any intention to a' k for a t'econnt of the ballots. IIis reply was than ho didn't know yet. He hadn't definitely made up his mind. ----v—,--- Roads Again Cleared Out Highway navigation has again open- ed up after the big blow of last week. Tho regular snow plow coming from Winlgham was cheered into the village just before supper on Friday night. All tho children in town, and a con- siderable sprinkling of grown-ups, in eluding ye editor„ gave it plenty of moral support as it tackled the big drifts coming down Dinaley street hill from the north. 1t was quite a chore for an ordinary plow.

The plow came as far as the middle of main street and then turned back to Winrgha.tn, spending the night improving the road it had punched through. 7t took it all the next day to go from Blyth to the hill Net south of Londesboro, but on Sunday mornin.a, cars were coming through from Clinton.

Former Blyth Rector Dies At Forest bilis are paid, was used by Mr. J. H. It, Elliott as a means of passing out Rev. Walter Bennet ilawkins, aged this propaganda. 11ow many of you 176 rector of Christ Church, Forest, have heard when paying your hydro Idled in the Sarnia General Hospital bills, words to this effect? "We must] on Saturday following an etiolation support lir. Merritt. If Taylor Is i undertaken the previous evcnlrg to elected he and Rainton will put this remove a clot of blood which had lodged in the region of the knee.

Is it right that ourhydro office should be used for this sort of thing? \Vhy should Mr, Elliott, a. public ser- vant for tine past several y'earv, be no anxious to have Mr. Merritt buck es Reeve. Cbuld it be that he would like to be clerk again. or have control of 1t, to keep his propaganda in the eye ( of the public. ! It 118.3 been intimated to me that if Taylor and Scrimgeour were elected, that our Met of Police would be fir- ed. Many of you have heard the .sand thing. It is a natter of utter disgust to bring a point of this kind ftp to defeat any candidate, The fact that the Chief of Police is getting a ilalal'y of $1'0. a month or . $ i'20. a year, to keep a family and pay his way during those times, is to me ridiculous. You !heard at nomination' what the chair- man ,said re school teachers salaries, Why should this corporation have in its employ a chief of police whose dutie9 start at 7 1n tie morning and enol when most of us are in bed, at such a ridiculous salary. I ask, would any of you want that job under such conditions? Let's give him a little on - encouragement. Since I was elected sono of my stip• portetls have asked that I bring mat - ;tors of this nature in front of the public as they present themselves. I also add that Alb Taylor knows noth- ing of this letter. I can assure you that I will use my own judgement and opinion in the same way in the future.

Sydney lis Dollson, Tice -President and General flan• ager noted tlutl the present high tempo of business activity dile to war \vas clearly reflected in the bunk's balance sheet and that under a »umber of hcadiug5 re- cord levels had been attained. Despite steady expansion in the bank's business, profits had been reduced, due in part to relatively low yields on the hank's heavy investments in government Monds and to lucre»sed taxes, 13ecauso of the decrease in net income, the hank had found it necessary to reduce the dividend rate of 8c; to 6c,;. In this eon. nection Nils Dobson noted that (luring' the past I2 y'eti's hank shareholders had ]tad their clivi• dends reduced more drastically than those in most other lines of business and that on the basis of to -day's dividend, the return is only 3,27+.''s on the average cost of the shares to the public over a period of years. "l'otul assets are now $1,291,• 6 15,946, an all-time high in the history of the bank and an in- crease during the year of $216,- 496,185," said Mr. Dobson. "Our liquid position is naturally very strong, total liquid assets of $906,440,239 representing 75.415, of our total liability to the pub- lic." 11r. Dohsou also 11otc(1 that de- posits totalling $1,181,217,192 had increased by awes $225,000,- 000. 0 f the total :' 29,03:),9.111 were in Canada, COMMERCIAL LOANS "Commercial 1,ouus In Canada expanded (luring the year $13,- 365,555, and are no',v 8255,1.18,- 40.1, included in this amount are temporary loans of $12,071,183 to assist purchasers of Victory Ponds. As there was but a small total of such loans current at the and of the previous year, it will he seen that ordinary commercial loans are considerably lower as compared with a year ago. Con- sidering the tremendous expan- sion in business activity through- out Canada, the situation is anomalous, but the ixpianation is that the expansion is largely in connection with war work, This is either financed directly by the (i0\'Cl'Illllell(, 1)I', because of prompt settlement for monthly o' fortnightly accounts, the manu- facturer is able to finance with- out any, of tit any rate with very moderate, assistance.

Alexander, first lord of the Admiralty, declared that "al- though we have had heavy losses in aircraft carriers, we have more now than we had at the begin- ning of the war After replacing our lows." 1111(1111 has announced the loss of five aircraft carrier, the Ark Royal, Courageous, (i1ol'lolls, Hermes and Eagle. Since the start of the war she has completed the Indomitable, !Formidable, Victorious, and illus- trious -- and, from Alexander's statement, apparently Also has added the new Indefatigable and Implacable to the fleet. Jane's Fighting Ships listed then( as (u:hcduled for completion 3n 19.12. This would indicate a total of even, 'the only pre -tear carrier remaining unsunk being the (Furi- ous. Alexander told a Sheffield audience last September 20 that the Royal Navy's capital ship, carrier and cruiser losses of the last two ami a hall years had been replaced. "We have had in the last three or four nunitllg very heavy attacks by U-boats," Alexander said "and We have taken a very heavy toll of the enemy. Casualties In War Under 191448 Toll German Losses In Russia Perhaps 4,000,000 In All A despatch from London says: Renter's military correspondent has estimated that "the United Nations -not including China enter 19.13 with armies totalling approximately 15,000,000 men," In addition, lie said, "Allied air personnel is approaching the 5,- 000,000 mark." The Gernlnn army, "probably 8,000,000 men at its peak, has suffered heavily in casualties in Russia, losing perhaps .1,00(1,000 in all," the correspondent declar- ed. Japan, he said, "is reported to have an effective army of from 5,000,000 to 0,000,000." Now, in case Sono' of the younger people may have the idea that the last war wits, by cont• parison, n minor affair, let us have some figures of that as well. In the War of 1914-18, the Al- lied and :Associated Powers (in- cluding the United States) mobi- lized tt total of appl'oximately 40,- 000,000 men. 'rhe Central Powers (Germany and her allies) mobilized 19,1,00,• 000 met1, or a grand total of ,just. under 60,000,000 men, The Mid en1uaities of the war' were these: Uead, 7,781,800; Wounded, 18,- 681,257; Prisoners or Missing, 7,080,580, or total casunitics of more than thirty-three millions.

Writing in the annual review issue of "Iron Age," steel trade ,journal, C. G. Grey, well known in the British aviation field, said such rocket -propelled starts have been used for two years. Grey quoted an escaped Neth- erlands ('Iyer as saying. that "few things are more terrif'y'ing than to see a heavily loaded bomber full of bonlhs and gasoline tak- ing oft' at night with a huge roclu't blazing under each wing and knowing that 3t' 0110 engine Puts the whole thing will tura ()Vol' 111111 go up 311 0110 51'51 of flame," Fired Electrically The author also reported that rockets are being used in another way by the Russians. ile said two or three rocket bombs foe ground attack tire carried under each wing of the new Stormovik bomber -fighter.

In spite of the fact that each such engagement. meant the loss of a. ilu'rieane, the method has Mopped Kurrier depredations, Grey said.

'However great the relief to the people when the suspense was broken, the sudden reaction was at first almost too much, mid they could scarcely believe it possible that forest fires in Northern .Michigan, could produce the condition that had been experienced, as far away as the County of Huron, It occurred on Monday, and the tlm'htty housewives who had their washings oit the clothes lino discovered these sante washings were covered with s1lecl:8 and the wash had to be clone again.

She had been crowded into an army ear maneu- vered by a sullen poilu in uni- form. Her companions were a diplomat's heavy -set wife and a trench -coated correspondent. The diplomat's wife fainted regularly every five minutes. The newspaperman betrayed his shaki- ness by smoking a maddeningly endless chain of cigarettes. All about them were havoc, destruc- tion, misery. Penny- had never realized bolt - much the simple initials "U.S.A." could meal.

To make the poultice, mix two or more tablespoons of flour to one of mustard, with enough water to form a smooth paste. Spread it over the paper napkin to form a six by eight -inch rec- tangle, and after greasing the skin with vaseline, leave the poul- tice on the chest, back, or what- ever part of the body is in pain or congested, for 10 to 20 min- utes until the shin turns a deep pink color.

The Lord Mayor, in keeping• with all the dignity and hearing of his high and anci- ent office presided and was sup- ported by a distinguished com- pany, 'l'he Rt. Hon, Sir Frederick Sykes, the Honorary y Treasurer of the Society, referred to the heavy expenditure involved in the war commitments of the Society and the obligations resting , on the Society, which would have to he met after the war, for the rein- statement of many of the prop- erties that have been rented or requisitioned and adapted to sleet the present needs. These obliga- tions Made it of importance that sufficient of the funds should be reserved to provide what may be required, and Sir Frederick urged the supporters of the Society to have the suggestion much in mind.

Beds should be made properly, Edges smoothed under the mat- tress get less abrasive weal' than bunched -under edges. They should also not be yanked off the bed, but should be loosened first.

CHAMBERS Our Garden Friends Vegetables are among our best friends, More vegetables on the table mean fewer medicine bottles in the cupboard. The hest tonics conte from such simple ellen') vegetables as, spinach, carrots, boot greens, dandelion greens, beans, e111u'd, potatoes, etc, The best laxatives also conte from these sources, Vegetables are rich in the substances which we need for good teeth, good blood and for regulating the activity of the body. Vegetables also furnish the hulls which is necessary for the healthy regular action of the inlestinnl tract, The very common stateluent, that "potatoes are alt starch" is not true. Because they can be eaten in fairly Targe quantities, they furnish the hotly With con- siderable iron and they also pro. vide one of.' the important regu- lating materials necessary for re- sistance to disease, for growth, for healthy gums ami strong bones, 'Tomatoes also provide this same regulating substance. In the spring, when old vege- tables are very poor in quality and new ones are expensive it is better to buy canned varieties such as peas, beans, corn and beets. Let us watch Mrs. Economy and Mrs. Extravagance go shopping for 50 cents worth of fresh vege- tables in early winter, Mrs. Economy shop, around and decides that carrots, cabbage and turnips will give the biggest return for her money.

Poor seasoning -- lack of seasoning frequently makes vege- tables flat in taste, :3. Lack of care in preparation —thorough cleaning, careful par- ing and careful slicing or cutting matte the vegetable's more ntt'a0- tive, Mrs. Extravagance's children do not like many of the common. vegetables. When she prepares them they are usually tasteless, watery and unattractive in ap- pearance, Her family rarely tastes them and the rest go in the garbage. Mrs. Economy on the other hand realizes that cafe in pre- paration is as important as care in buying, so she carefully fol- lows the rules, some of which will be given in the next issue.
