Thurston & Son, Proprietors A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEOICAU ASSOCIATION AND LIFE •NSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA CLEANLINESS On an occasion when John Wesley remarked that "Cleanlinejs is next to gfodliness," one of his audience retor- ed "It is also next to impossible." This answer was true, because for the majority of people at that time, the facilities for washing and bathing were very limited. We to-day expect, as a matter of PROTON STATION Rev. 51. F. Oldham, rector of Trinity church, Proton Station, desires the fol- lowing: notice to be inserted in this colurim. Divine service will be held in Trinity -Anglican chur.-h at IC'lO a.m. on Good Friday, April 14th. The entire service and sermon will be in keeping with the day. All families and individual-.i are invited. The Easter service will be held at 1 p.m. on Easter day, April I'oth. The Sun- d:;y school will be held at the con- clusion of the service. Miss Gei*t- rude Lyons will render a solo at each sei-vice and the rector Rev. M. F. Old- ham will preach. The many friends of Mr. Arnold Hergott were shocked and sorry when the message came to Proton Station that one of his injured legs was am- putated above the knee.

We expect to turn Brampton hospital the result of a taps which will supply us with an' motorcycle accident. abundance of pure hot and cold I Mrs. Peter Still of Orangeville was water. These conveniences, which to us are nothing unusual, are compara- tively modern. The year 1842 saw the fir3t bathtub installed in North America. The use of the bathtub was frowned upon as it was consider- ed to be evidence of a physical decad- ence of the people, catering too much to the pleasure-loving side of life. This past attitude might be borne in mind by those who, today, oppose the introduction of physical comforts and labor-saving devices into the home. It was about the same period that one hundred thousand cess-pools were ab- olished in London, and houses were connected with the common sewei's. There is not nowadays much excuse for us to be dirty. There are still too many houses lacking the facilit- ies for cleanliness which should be provided in every home, but, in gen- eral, it may be said that most of us can be clean if we want to be clean. Cleanliness is important because ol its aesthetic value, its effect upon the mental outlook of the person, and be- cause certain forms of cleanliness are of real importance in the prevention of communicable diseases. A clean skin improves the personal appearance. A clean skin adds to personal comfort and allows the skin to function better as a protective cov- ering and as the heat regulator of the body. Odors arising from an unclean skin are offensive. A clean body, together with clean clothing, hair that is neat and finger a caller on Proton Station friends on Saturday. Rev. Robert Patton of Emmanuel College, Toronto, supplied for Mr. Bannister last Sunday and renewed acquaintance with many old friends. Messrs. Richard Nethercut and T. Kay of Dundalk were visitors at Pro- ton Station on Monday. R0GK MIl-LS There passed away at her home on Friday evening, April 7th, a highly respected neighbor of this community in the person of Mrs. Ida .McDowell following an illness, which last- ed for several months. The funeral took place from her home on Sunday afternoon and was very largely at- tended, interment being made in Maxwell cemetery. The flowers which bore message of sympathy, ware very beautiful. Rev. Mr. Dean of Fevershani had charge of the ser vice and preached a comforting ser- mon, his text being found in the 5th chapter of St. Matthew and the 6th verse: "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness : for they shall be filled." A favorite hymn of the deceaed was sung by Mr. Dean. There are left to mourn one daughter, Mrs. Ray Pedlar, and two sister-3, Mrs. Sharpe, of Toronto, Mrs. Deitz at home and three brothers William, Sam and Thos. Phillips, who EUGENIA LADY BANK have our sincere sympathy in their nails that are clean and trimmed, give jj^^j, ^j sorrow.

The washing of the hands before eating or preparing food and after using the toilet is a simple habit which plays an important part in the prevention of the communicable dis- eases. The added practice of a warm bath at least once a week is one which under ordinary conditions keeps the body reasonably clean. The inside of the body is kept clean by the use of clean foods and pure ronto spent the week end with relat- ives in the vicinity. Mr. Thos. Johnston of Kemble visit- ed on Friday with his daughter, Mrs. Joyce Portoeous.

Presentarion To Couple A presentation was made recently to Mr. and Mrs. Dan McCannell at their home near Proton Station. About seventy neighbors and friends gath- ered and presented the newly married couple with a lovely Aladdin lamp. Miss Marguerite Batchelor read the address and Mr. McTaggart made the presentation. The evening was -.spent in music and dancing and refreshments were served at the close. A most enjoyable evening was spent. Recently we read that Gandhi is a lawyer. He certainly looks as if » good suit would help him quite a bit. Rev. Mr. McNeill preached a fine .sermon on Sunday, taking his text from 2d Kings 14: 20-21. Next Sun- day the sermon will be appropriate to Easter. ,We hope there will be a lai-ge attendance as usual. AFr. Jack Large leaves this week for Niagara with prospects of securing a positJon. We hope he meets with siicces.-j. Jack will certainly be miss- ed in the village, as he was prominent in social ciixles and made many friends. Last fall he acted a leading role in the play "Lena Rivers" and played his part in an excellent man- ner. He has been indulged in Sunday School work this year, being teacher of a class of boys. About two weeks ago he gave the boys a party at the home of Mr. Bert Graham, where a jolly evening was spent in gameis and music. Lunch and ice cream were served and brought the party to j close. The boys had become very much attached to Jack, who will miss the boys, as much as the boys will miss him. Mrs. E. Doupe returned this wcel- to Saugeen Jet., after spending the week end with her brotehr, Mr. Joi. Hawkins and brother-in-law, Mr. Jos Shei'wood.

Mr. and Mrs. Will Benson and fam- ily are moving this week to the Cairns farm and Mr. and Mrs. J. Colgan and family are moving to near Saugeen Jet. We wish both families success in their new abode. Mr. Lome Carr was a visitor for a couple of days during the latter pai-: of last week with his uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lawlor, 8th line. We were pleased to have a call fron: Lorne and his aunt, Mrs. Lawlor, on Friday. They called on their relat- ives, the Genoe families, and many ol hi-3 father's old friends, who were de- lighted to meet him. Lorne, who it 22 years old is a clever and hand- some-locking young man. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. .Will Carr o: Calgary, who have a family of twc boys. Jack being the younger -son Lorne said that he enjoyed his littk visit in Eugenia very much, but re gretted that his father was not here with him. He was also sorry that he had not time to call on more of his father's old friend.«, but hoped that his ne.xt visit would be longer. Lorne has been sold to the New York Rang- ers, but may be resold before the next hockey season commences. His career began in Calgary, Alta.. where his home is, playing junio- hockey. He next pla,ved with the Vancouver Lions in 1930-1031. Last- ly with the Buffalo Bisons for the pas', two hockey sea-sons. We were pleas- ed to receive from him as a souvenii a little booklet entitled "The Bisons- Making Hockey History." This little booklet states that "he is a dashin;; and effective player patrolling tht right boards for the Bisons this sea son. He skates with t*.iort quid strides, typical of Western Canad; hockey players and shoots with i snap of the wrist which is vci-y de ceptive to the goal tenders. He is very often mistaken for Ronnie Mar- tin, who played in the Bisons last year, and is called 'Ronnie's Mirage.' Both have developed the knack of carrying the puck close to their skates thus making it very hard for opposin.? players to check them. They display uncanny ability to trick defenceme:- and work their way right in on top of the goalie; they back-check with pep and willingness to help cover Up a fellow player caught in the enemy's defence area and they seem full of skate during the full time spent on the ice. We wish Lorne every success in the hockey profession and as his father is an old Eugenia boy we congratulate him on the success of his son. We are pleased to report Mrs. R Park and Mrs. Fogg, who have been ill the past week, on the way to recovery. Mr. Elijah Paul has not been very well the past few days, but we are glad to know that he is | covering.
