'â- i Wednesday. October 6, 1937 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE -1 f MIALTM SCNVICC or TNI CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE •i«U«ANC« COMPANIES m CANADA \ DRY FEET .There art â-  iiriain small thinKs which, if ni'Klfcti'il, may tau.se u con- sidi-ruble amount of discomfort; whereas, if atteiKied to, they go far to make comfort. One of these is tlio question of keeping the feet dry. If we allow our feet to become wet and then sit for some hours at home, in school or at work, the chilliiig of tlie feet, while the rest of the body is warm docs, foi- .some reason, predis- pose to colds in the head. In order to avoid head colds which are .such a nuisance and which, sometimes, lead to serious trouble, the feet should bi- kept dry and warm. It is much more sensible to buy a pair of rubbers than to spend money on doctors' bills. It is much better to take an extra minute or two to put on a pair of rubbers than it is to spend a day or two in bed as a result of having got wet fee. It is not always possible for us tu avoid wet feel; sometimes the rain is unexpected and we are cauyht uii awares. In such cases, shoes and stockings should be charitj;ed without delay, and the feet given a good brisk rub with a routrh towel. Clothes should be worn aeconiinK to the iheiniometer. In winter, shoes should have thick soles, or light shoes should be worn under overshoes. 1. woollen stockings are necessary to keep the feel warm, they should be worn. There is a ilitfeience in iiuii- vi<luals; some require heavier fool clothing than others in order to keep the feet warm. This is something which We must learn from our own j experience and by which we must be ; guided. I Parents will find that they will ac- icomplish something worth while in 1 preventing colds if they make sure I hat their children's feet ai-p kept dry iind waini during the fall, winter and spring seasons. It requires a littji' preparation in the way of providing lubbers and overshoes, and,, .v'hen they are provided, it needs some sup- ervision to see that they are woin, but the effort will be well repaid in great- er freedom from this winter nuisance and danger.

H i4i». | i.i~H Mr. and Mrs. Mark .Stewart are vis- iting relatives in Toronto. Mrs. F. H. W. Hickling spent sever- al days in Toronto last week. Mr. R. G. Holland is confined to his bed at the present time. Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Chappie and Al- an visited at Meaford last week. Mrs. Frank Thompson of ('hesley visited over the week end with her cousin, Mrs. John Pedlar, of town. Mr. -J. D. Clarke of Weston is vis- iting Mr. and Mrs. F. H. W. llickling for a cou|)le of weeks. Mrs. E. J- Swift and son. Bowman, of Toronto visite<l last week with rel- atives in this vicinity and at Wiarton. .Mrs. W. E. Southgate of Seaforth is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Mitchell for a few days. Miss Verl Tinney and Miss Edna Cormack of Stayner were visitors at United Church parsonage over the week end. Miss Georgena .MacDonald, Toron- to, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John MacDoiiald, Flesherton is in a Toron- to llosjjital undergoing an operation. The COth annual convention of the teachers of South Grey will be held at .N'eustadt on Thursday and Friday of this week. Mr. and Mru. F. G. Karstedt attend- ed the funeral of the latter's brother, Mr. Peter Eikler, which was held at Chesley on Tuesday. Mrs. Russell Park underwent ai, operation in the Owen Sound hospital on Wednesday of last week and is now considerably improved in health. Mrs. Eraser, Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. .A If. Staples, New York; Mrs. Frank Twamley of Wellbeek visited with Mr. and Mrs. Mark Wilson last week NO L.M GHINf; M.VTTKR Farmer Brown complained that he could find MO old clothes to put on the rcarecrow. "Well," said his wife, "our George said I could give away his plus-four suit, as he's got a new one. Why not use that?" "Don't be ridiculous, woman,'' said the farmer. "I want to scare the crows, not make 'em laugh!" A pleasant Sunday afternoon in the country. Thou!>and8 of happy famil- ies "out for a drive," whizzing along typically picturesque Ontario high- way. Suddenly, around a curve â€" screams, the shriek of brakes and tires, a terrific crash, the .screech of tearing metal, the sickening shatter of glass, agimizing moans â€" then a deathly monu'iit of silence. A man, one arm hanging limp, crawls fi-om the wreckage. One ear has been flayed from the side of his head. He leans over someone else in the car, then collapses. Help comes almost immediately. Limp, bi-okcn bodies are dragged from the wreckage and laid on the roadside. A thin read stream trickles over the running board of the car and forms a pool on the highway. One body is covered with a blanket. Two others iire rushed to the hospital; there may still be time to save them, A by- stander peers curiously into the back of the car. He turns away with a shudder and is violently sick; some- one else fishes out an arm and tucks it under the blanket beside the still body. Hoirible, isn't it? But neither un- common nor exaggerated. It is sim- ply a factual report of one of the 501 motor accidents in 19.36 which resulted in fatalities. Tlhe headline in the newspaper next day read something like this: " ONE DEAD IN CURVE CRASH, TWO IN HOSPITAL MAY DIE." You've seen dozens of head- lines just like it, but how often do you stop to think of the hideous pic- ture of blood and pain and death which lie behind them. Accidents are horrible. Horrible to hear about and look at. Horrible in the pain and a.irony and sorrow they bring. Most horrible in the realiza- tion that THEY NEED NOT HAPPEN. In Ontario, the Department ot Highways is determined they will not happen. But to prevent them, it needs your help. You must drive (and walk) carefully, sanely. YOU MUST STOP TAKING CHANCES. And you must make sure that others do the same thing by reporting those who endanger lives by reckless driv- ing. Dismiss any silly prejudice which suggests "it's none of your business." It is your business! It is one of your rosponibilities to your- self and to the community. It is one of your duties as a citizen â€" and it is one of your duties as a human being to help save others from a needless death or injury. YOU ARE YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER. Seven thousand cattle, including left-overs from the week previous, were offered for sale on the market On Monday and the trade continued much the same as the week previous, as the bulk of the offei'ing consisted of medium quality cattle, for which there was a limited outlet. ChoiCt baby beeves, cows and bulls held about steady, while all other classes of cattle, generally were lower. Only a few lots of choice heavy steers brought $9.00, with the most of the fair to good weighty steers selling from $0.00 to $7.50. In the butcher section, baby beeves sold at from 810.00 to $10.50, but those of medium to good quality were lower, from S5..")0 to $8.00.

If you are a scanner Ji these you have noticed, no doubt, that there is a big discrepancy be- ivv^t^'n the number of articles lost and I he number found. There ni.iy be ipiite a long list of "losts;" but "only occasionally do we see n "foimd.'- Why is this? Do the thn^s that .lit lost ,iust disappear, never to be •^een asa :i? Are they found bv per- sons who hold them until they see that the loser has advertised and (hen returned them? Or do the basis of the old saying, "Finder keeper, loser weeper?" We can hardly believe that when a thing is lost it is gone forever that it fades into nothingness. Most of the articles advertised as lost are too substantial for that. So we must look in classes 2 and ,H for the fxplanation. It i.s not ha id to understand the attitude of the finder who waits for an advertisement. It is much eas- ier to say, "Well, if he really wants this thing he'll advertise it," than to swiifl nn ad, of his own to the pa- '"â- r. That, of course, should not be; the fin.ler should try to get in touch with the loser at once; but the ten- dency is to waitâ€" and quite often the finder does not scan the papers any too closely. Then there is the finder who picks up an article and calmly appropriates it. ,That class is by no means small. A Toronto newspaper once made an experiment. It had two representa- tives drop purses in different parts of the city and watch them being liicked up. Tihe purses contained, besides a SI bill, the owner's name and address; but only one was re- turnedâ€"anil that by a younp China- man! Not a very flattering testi- monial to the white man's honesty! All things considered, it does look i\^ if our standard of hnneaty is not very high. At a rough estimate, the ratio of "lost" and "found" ads. is about ^0 tolâ€" which indicates that â- ibout PR percent, of those who fitid lost articles are either passively or actively dishonest. Perhaps it in not quite as bad. for possibly some •hinrrs are lost beyond recall; but even if we nllow a ratio of to 1 we have no reason to be proud of the record.
