TIME TO PBAY "To everything there is a sfloson, and a time to every poryose under tiie heaven; a time to be bom, and â-  time to die; a time to plant, and > time to pluck up that which is plant- ed; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." â€" Ecclesiastes Ch. 3. Is not the present time the time to mourn â€" the time to pray? Every Thursday night from 7.30 to 8.30 the Bapitist Church will be open for prayer. Will you join us? Is it not the "time?" Advertising Brought /^ Wrong Results (By Victoria Corners Corr.) Does advertising always pay? For some people it does and others it does not! A week ago Fridav night some stray young cattle were on the high- way in front of Jos. Copeland's farm. A car struck and killed one of them, causing considerable damage to the car. As they were not* tagged, the owner was not known. Mr. Copeland herded them into his yard and adver- tised them. The next Thursday the paper was distributed to its readers and that night the cattle were still at Mr. Copeland's. When he got up the next morning neither hide, hair nor hoof of any of them could be seen. The owner possibly thought it would be cheaper and to his advantage to spirit them away without a word of thanks to Mr. Copeland. Well, advertising paid the owner that time. but what about the other fellow ? Gospel Workers' Church Feversham, Ont. Rev. C.

Binniogton Death came with a sense of great loss to the Maxwell community, when one of Osprey's old pioneers who was highly respected by all who knew him in the person of Mr. Edmund Binning- ton on Friday mornine-, May 31, in his 84th year. The late Mr. Binnington had been bedfast since Februai-y 15th and about two months ago he suffered a heart attack, which caused his death peacefully that morning. He had enjoyed good health until his last sickness. He was the son of the late Robert Binnington and Bethea Ed- munds and was born in Yorkshire, England in 1856, coming to Canada with his parents at the aee of 15 ••ears on the first steamer. The fam- ily settled at Pickering and W~- moved to Maple Vallev. Later they moved to the farm known as the Blackburn farm on the Collingwood Gravel, now occupied by Mr. Geoi-ge Field, where his father died. The late Mr. Binnington was mar- ried to the late Mary Alice Betts on March 7th, 1887, who predeceased him January 30th, 1940.

The funeral service was held on Monday afternoon, June 3, with a short service at his late residence, followed by a service at Maxwell United Church, of which he was a member for many years. He was a Steward in the Methodist church for many years and when it became the United Church, he was an Elder until the time of his death. Rev. Dr. Mercer and Rev. A. Bushell, a former pastor, presided at the house, church and cemetery. Rev. Bushell preached a comforting sermon to a large circle of friends and relatives. The favorite hymns of the deceased were sung: "Rock of Ages," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" and 'Forever 'With the Lord." The choir rendered two selec- tions by request. Eugenia. Interment was made in the family plot in Maxwell cemetery. Beautiful floral tributes showed the high esteem in which he was held. The flower bearers wre: Lillian Poole, Eldo Morrison, Virginia Sheffield, Harold Betts, Brucp Poole and Russell Seeley. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Geo. Ross, E. Buckingham, Wilbert Poole, Wm. Wright, Angus Morrison and Roy Fenwick. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were: ^' • Francis Home of Hawkestone, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sheffield, Larry and Virginia of Barrie, Mr. Wm. Emerson and Mrs. Leonard Cox of Whitby, Mrs. Jas. Donnelly and Mrs. Alex. Hughes of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. John Pallister of Claremtont, Mr. E. Coates of Stouffeville, Mr. and Mrs. S. Saund- ers of Berkeley and also many rela- tives from Flesherton, Rock Mills and Foresters Ordered To Mobilize For Active Service The Grey and Simcoe Foresters received word last week to mobilize for active service and Col. T. J. Ruth- erford, well known Owen Sound offi- cer, and prominent in military circles for years, was given the command of the new regiment. The Foresters are in the 12th brigade with the Governer General's Foot Guards of Ottawa and the Grenadiers of Montreal, two crack regiments that saw active sei"vice in the last war. The inclusion of the Foresters in the field, is an honor to the counties of Grey and Simcoe, as Health Discussed At Wareham Meetiog (By Wareham Correspcndeni) A mass meeting in the interests of community he^th services was held in Wareham on Tuesday, June 4, under the auspices of the farm clubs of the district, representatives being present from Holstein, Ceylon, Flesh- erton, Collingwood and other places. This was the first in a series of such meetings being held by organizations that have been studying the probleui of health insurance for some time past. The farm clubs of Wareham were probably the first to make a formal study of the matter. At a joint meeting held in Fleshei- ton some weeks ago, it was decided t^ hold this first mass meeting at Ware- ham. Others are to follow. The ser- vices of Hon. Geo.

In all sections of the country, lack of work constitutes but a very minor problemi And as a result, the recent sharp reduction in relief payments is reported to have caused very little suffering. The building trades have been hard pressed in attempting to keep up with the demands, not only from industry for additional 'actorv space, but from private citizens for the con- struction of homes. All kinds of in- dustrial activity are feeling the de- mand for war "oods, and it will not be surprsing- if, when harvesting time comes around, the Canadian farmer will have a real problem in securing sufficient help. ABTEMESIA BOY IN PATH OF ADVANCING HUNS The German army has been ad- vancing to Paris and latest news re- ceived is that they are only about 12 miles away. Relatives have been anxious as to the whereabouts of Mr. Wellington Whittaker, who has made his home in Paris following the close of the Great War. His mother, Mrs. Richard Whittaker received a cable- gram from him a couple of weeks ago stating that all were well, but she has not had any word since.

At the pre- sent time there are about 660 men on the active list of the Foresters who have been ti'aining all winter and spring. Many of these will no doubt be placed lower than category A, re- quired for overseas service and this will leave room for many more to join. While those on the active list who have been training will be given first consideration, many more re- cruits will be needed, not only now, but also for reinforcements and it is expected that recruiting will be prac- tically continuous from now on. I A great many young men in the I two counties have been waiting I for this opportunity to serve with a regiment from their own county and the response at the various regi- mental centres has been very satis- factory. Any young men between the ages of 18 and 45, wishing to enlist, can leave their names and addresses at the following points : Meaford arm- ories, Markdale armories and Durham armories, and they will be advised when to appear before the medical board. It is the intention and desire of Col. Rutherford that all parts f the county will be represented in the regiment. Col. Rutherford has been a military man all his life, and holds a high place in the estimation of the military leaders of the country. He enlisted with the old 31st Grey Regiment in 1912 and has served in every rank and commission. He commanded the unit from 1925 to 1929, and from 1931 to 1934 was the Brigadier of the 22nd Infantry Brigade, and includes the Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury Regi- ment, and thf; Algonquin Regiment from the North country, as well as the former Simcoe Foresters. It is expected that each of these units, along with the Grey Regiment, will supply a company each to the C.A.S.F. For the past three months Col. Ruth- erford reverted, at his own request, to the rank of Major to command the Owen Sound company of the regiment. During the last war Col, Ruther- ford established an outstanding re- cord for service. He enlisted with the 147th Battalion, C.E.F., in 1915 and served in France with the 4th CM. sick unless called upon; the result being that many people are living a restricted life through ill-health and doctors and nurses are having a very hard time running their own homes. Those who can pay are of necessity asked to pay more than the cost of such service should be. People die or suffer unnecessarily from aggravated illness, when taken in time their dis- eases could have been cured. Pre- vention is better than cure. By "sparing a muckle, a muckle might have been saved," but the muckle looms big when "ha' no got it." The birth mortality rate is too high. Pre- natal care, if available to expectant mothers, nearly always assures the joy of "both doing well," instead of grief over loss of one or both, or im- paired health. At -•resent one mother dies in childbirth every eight hours â€" three a day â€" in Canada; 10,000 in- fants less than a year old die un- necessarily each yiear, and proper care at the right time could prevent most of these loses. Mr. Hoadley went on to say that women who give life should have power to protect life. Health is a human right. It is estimated that sicness costs the nation $193,000,000 at the time of the last census (1931), mostly money spent in paying for sickness costs the nation $193,000,000 money invested in preventive medi- cal sei-vices would have kept the na- tion well. It costs more to keep people living, or bury them, than it would to keep them well, if we only had the sense to do it. Buy health, instead of paying for sickness.; 94% of doctors', hospital and nursing costs are spent in treatinsr and just^ 6% for prevention of sickness.

In 72 rural municipalities, which include some small urban centres, one ^r more doctors are chosen to look after the health of the municipality, and paid, some $2,400, some up to $5,500. The costs are added to the municipal taxes and amount to an average of $3,40 per quarter section (160 acres) per year. 'This works out at $2.12 per capita in rural districts and S1.72 in urban centres. The doctor receives an ade- quate living, and "we, the people" may have medical service, and, if necessary, hospitalization for minor surgery, and periodical examinations. The doctor also acts at M.O.H. for his district, vaccinates and regularly ex- amines school children.
