Word was received last week of the death of Mrs. Alfred Roy, at There is nothing that touches the heart of humanity as much as the sight of crippled children. There is always a willingness to do what is possible to lig*»tfen the burden of their affliction and to brighten their lives. This is a commendable spirit as it gives evidence of man's regard for those who are not so fortunate as he is himself. There is also be- hind it the feeling that every child should have a chance in this world. It is unfortunate that, to the ma- jority of people, a crippled child is one who is deformed physically or who has lost part of a limb. These make up only part of the group. The child who has a damasred heart or whose organs are deficient in any ws". is just as much a cripple as is the child whose bones are twisted. It is right and just that suitable and extra attention should be pro- vided for these crippled children. Be-' cause of their handicap they need special care and guidance in their ed- ucation. While this is true, our chief con- cern should be to prevent any child from becominjr crippled and The NeAV Ford IS HERE WE HAVE A TUDOR MODEL OF THE NEW CAR IN OUR SHOWROOMS.

A horse put its head over the partition into the adjoining stall, evidently reaching for some- thing iwith its tongue. The other horse made a grab at the intruder, catching the tongue between its teeth. When t'nc other horse jerked its head back into its own stall the tongue stayed with *;he attacking horse. Dr. Ray Clapp .attended the injured ani- mal but was doubtful as to saving its life, and advised destroying it.
