Associate Editor EDITORIAI, NOTE? The Hunt.sville Forester has no- ticed that a member of our neighbor- ing township to the south had failed to wear a tie when he had his picture "tooketi" in a recent photograph, and relates for his benefit an amusing in- cident in the life of Mark Twain. The Forester says: "A member of the Proton Township Council had an of- ficial group photo taken minus a tie. He should recall the polite action of Mark Twain who, after half an hour conversation with Harriet Beecher Stowe, returned home, only to dis- cover the omission of his tie. He sent a messenger at once to Mrs. Stowe with a tie, and a note which read: 'I conversed with you for half an hour this morning without a tie. Keep this one for half an hour, then return it please, it's the only one I have.' " Mrs. Patrick McKee Died At Nottawa Another of the beloved pioneer mothers of Nottawasaga, Mrs. Pat- rick McKco has been called away. .She had not enjoyed the best of [ health for the pa.st few years, but it j was only during the last two weeks that her condition became alarming; and despite all efforts for her recov- ery she passed peacefully away at the family home on Hurontario St. on Friday evening, February 7th, a- l)out seven o'clock. With her passing one of the old- est residents of Nottawa is gone, one who for over fifty years has been I the finest type of gracious, kindly] Christian Womanhood. Mrs. McKee was a lovable person, her life an in- spiration to all her friends, being a living example of the true disciple of the Good Shepherd. \Vhen there was si.rrow in the homes she was there to offer words of comfort. 'When illness came she was there with a helping hand. All these good deeds will not be forgotten. Her thought was of others and her wish was to A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL .S50CIATI0N AND LIFEI MSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA J, HOCKEY GOSSIP MEASLES Practically every human beinjf who is exposed to measles will contract the disease. Striking examples of this were seen when measles was in- troduced, for the first time, to certain islands in the Pacific. Regardless of age or sex, every man, woman and child fell victim to the disease. We do not know enough about meas- les to enable us to control it. We do, however, konw how its ill effects may Ijc minimized. iWe cannot, as yet prevent the regularly recurring epi- demics, but we can reduce the loss oi life from measles. While the epidemic of most diseases vary a great deal, measles appears con.'^istently in a typical form. The uii.set is marked by what seems to be cold in the head, accompanied by Fle.sherton and Dromore Semi-Pro. teams met at Flesherton on Wednes- day night of last week for the first of the Semi-final games. Flesherton took the 1,'ad by an 8 â€" 2 §core, win- ning easily, The return game was played at Dromore, Saturday after- noon after the Flesherton boys had ppent eight hours on the road to their destination. Despite being tired from the trip they kept the score to a 4 â€" 4 tie without overtime as darkness intervened. This made another game necessary to be played i at Priceville this Wednesday night, when the winners will meet Proton Bears for the final games.

I MORE WASTE BA.SKETS WANTED Every newspaper office to<lay needs new equipment in the way of waste baskets. The increasing demand made for free publicity ha.s growth to such an extent the baskets are filled to overflowing. These agencies and firms seem to forget that it takes money to operate a newspaper. Much of the matter may l)e good but we must consider our readers and give them tJie news of the district and any Information we believe of value to them. All other articles are consign- ed to the waste basket. Frank Ir- win editor of the Durham Chronicle says that he is going to take up boomerang throwing as he can hit A VICIOUS SYSTEM (Meaford Express) A report says that two fifty-acre farms near Barrie were sold under the hammer for taxes at five dollars each. We do not know the real value of the lands mentioned above, t)Ut we cannot see the wisdom of relieving one man of his property to give it away to another at any such price under such trying circumstances as we mortals have passed through for the past five yea-s. Better to have let the original owners carry on than to have molested them and turned their holdings over to others. Tlie State gained very little in the trans- fer. The C.N.R. sent out a snow-plow on the Allandalc-Penetang line, but it got stuck in huge drifts.
