SLEPT BER£ Fuither re John Milne, a inerchant and prominent man ai Bowmanvile before 1900, Mrs. Fredeîick Mitchell tells that she undcîstands the Milnes once entertained Sir John A. Macdonald at their home, "Dunduin" on Concession Street. Mr. McConnachie, a brother ai Mis. Jobn Spencer who liv- cd there for many ycaîs, used ta say that he slept in the room wbere Sir John A. slept. Mr. Milne ian as Conserva- tive candidatk. im the eléctions ai 1863 and l8(b'ý. it was in 1867 that bis appanent was Edwaîd Blake, an outsider ta Durham County. Mi. Blake turned out ta be a formidable contender for the seat, and the Canservatives deemed it wise ta cail on some ai their biggest men ta vîsit the Riding. Sa it was that Sir John A. Macdon- aid came ta a meeting held in the Dil Shed at Bowmanvilie on nomination day in 1867, the fiîst election following Conied- cration. A most inteiesting ac- count ai this meeting appears in John Squauî's book "The Townships ai Dailington and Clarke" at page 156. No daubt Mi. and Mis. Milne would entertain Macdonald an this. occasion, since he was there ta speak in Milne's cause. Wbether "Dundurn" was this eaîly the Milne home we do nat know. Wc believe Sir John A. was also in Bowmanville at a later election remembeîed by same of aur aider townsfolk and perhaps it was on tbis oc- casion he stayed at "Dunduin". As Milne was the candidate in 1867 however, il would seem ta tic in peifectly with that time. Pcrhaps we will yet find aut when Rev. Alexander Mac- nab sald a the bouse ta the Milnes. OBITUARY MERS.

Returning 0f ficer ln Durham County A Il Set for Election While Durham County'a tour political organizations are has- tily convening meetings ta sel- ect candidates and overbaulinai party machinery, the riding's returning officer, Carroll Ji Nichoils ai Hope Townshipy, bas already set the district e.. ectoral machinery in motion. His headquarters wWl again be at his farm tive miles west of Port Hope. He informed aur reporter that his office has been in a state ai readinesa since last June and that he bas enough supplies ta meet present re- quirements. Proclamations have already zone ta the printers and will be distributed in the riding as soon as possible. Mir. Nichoîls first task was ta appoint 47 rural enumerat- ors ta begin enumeration oi the rural electorate Feb. 10.

Main difiiculty that he fore- secs is bad wcather conditions making travel on rural roads a bardship for the enumerators.

WALTER POTTS The death occurîed sudden- ly Feb. 6 at the borne of ber daughter, Mrs. Eva Brown, R. R. 3, Bowmanvillc, ai Hattie Peters, belovcd wife ai Walter Potts. She was in ber 72nd year.

Current and Confidential Designed mainly s0 that car awneîs might recover lost car kcys, thc War Amps Key Tag Service bas now been seîving Canadian motoîists for 11 years. In making the announce- ment, Alian David Piper, man- ager ai the War Amps Key Tag Service, pointed out thati 24 war veterans are steadily cm- ploycd in a cheery Toironto warkshop wheîe ail the cm- ployees are amputation cases and the boss, Mr. Piper, wears two iran books in place ai the hands he lost in a grenade explosion in 1942. Last year the Key Tag Ser- vice ireturned anc set ai lost car keys ta their owneî cvery 36 minutes. During the past five years ai its operatian Key Tag Servi"ce bas transfeiied an average ai $26,43 1 annually ta the Bene- volent Fund Committce. If yau, Mi. and Mis. Matai- Ist, lose yaur car keys tomai- row, the last keys are mailed ta the War Amps Office where quickly the name and addîess ai the car owner are discovered and the keys mailcd ta their, rigbtful owner. In il yeaîs over 15 million miniature car key tags haveý been made by the War Amps. This yeaî 6,500,000 key tags will be mailed aut. The decision ta mail out du- plicate key tags resulted fram the enarmous number aifire- qucsts by subscîibers for a se- cond tag. The innovation ai mailing out duplicate key tags is paying real dividends, Allan Piper said today. In many Canadian homes there are twa cars. In mast homes the husband and wiie bath have car keys. Key tags aire sent out gratis. The recipient is expectcd ta mail back 60 cents for dupli- cate kcy tags or 35 cents if .only anc kcy tag is rcquired.

Life Insurance aids Heart Foundation Many people are making good recoveries from severe heart attacks. New advances in medical science and surgery are saving their lives. However, many more lives inay be saved if, through research, the causes of heart disease can be determined. Research of this nature is a long range praject. It requires highly trained workers and the most modern equipment. These cost money. Last year, with timely financial assistance fram the Life Insurance Companies, the National Heart Founda- tion of Canada began ta correlate and step up the tempo of research into the causes of heart disease. This is just one of many ways in which the Life Insurance Companies in Canada are encouraging rnedical research that will help Canadians live longer and more hàppily.
