The ancient Romans had theii sun. rooms or solaria in which to relax or enjoy sunshine. Animal* look foi a sunny spot in which to stretch out and the plant turns itself towards the sun. Common experience has shown us that life in the out of doors increases, our sence of well-being. Part of this feeling comes from living in the sun- shine. Extensive research has shown the ill effects, upon animal life, which follow the elimination of sunshine. During recent years,, artificial sources of light have been made avail- able in the various forms of lamp? which are now being maufactured. Ai- most every new scientific discovery becomes a fad, and so the really legiti- mate claims and the value of light thereby have been rather lost sight of among the over-enthusiastic and extreme statements which are com- monly made. The light which we see comes from the luminous rays. In addition, there are rays which are invisible, the infra- red rays, or heat rays, and the ultra- violet rays, or actinic rays. The ultra-violet are not the violet rays which we can see, for the violet are luminous, or light rays, whereas th e ultra-violet are beyond the violet or light rays, and are invisible. Anything which cannot be seen and which is associated with electricity in any form, gives a general feeling of mystery and so is impressive to many people. It i-3 for this reason appar. ently that the indiscriminate use of lamps, for any and every condition, has become, a popular pastime. If one or other form of light treat- ment is to do good, it is necessary that the proper form be selected, and that it be given in correct amounts rind at the right intervals. Sunshine lamps are infra-red, ultra-violet and luminous rays in varying proportions, depending upon the lamp. A gen- eral tonic effect is secured, but the part played in this by the exposure of the body to the air the air bath- must not be overlooked. Infra-red rays have a soothing ef- fect and stimulate the circulation. It is obvious that if the treatment re quired is an ice-bag, harm will result from the improper sse of infra-red rays. The ultra-violet rays which cause the pigmentation of the skin, or :-.un-burn, have their great value In the prevention of rickets and in the promotion of good growth. Lamps may be much stronger than the sun, and, therefore, there is need for extreme care in their use. It is not a case of more the better; the right amount does good, and too much does barm. Lamps should not l>e used indiscriminately, but upon the advice of someone who is competent to give advice. Cow Had 5 Calves In 10 Months 1 Time Stanley Hill, living just north ol Orangeville on the old Joe Miller farm has a Guernsey cow, coming G years old in the spring, that for a producei cf calves can't be beaten. On Feb. 4, 1031, ten months ago she gave birth to twin heifer calves and they lived and grew to be fine animals. Dec. 3, 1931 she gave birth to triplet heifer calves, all healthy, normal and growing fine. That is a feat seldom heard of, five calves, all heifers, in ten months. Mr. Hill is taking splendid care of this increase to his herd and is looking forward to some good results from the calves. Dundalk Herald. FLESHERTON HIGH SCHOOL REPORTS FORM 1 CANADIAN HIST. HON.

McDonald fine cut and 1 I5c. pkg, for 20c Dr. Jamieson Speaks To County C jancil Dr. D. Jamieson of Durham, chair- man of the Provincial Board of Old Age Pensions and Mothers' Allow- ances, addressed the County Council on Friday afternoon. In spite of the prevailing depression, Canada, and especially the province of Ontar- io, is enjoying mnny privileges. In this connection he called attention to the old age pensions, the mothers' allowances and other institutions for the betterment of the under-privileged people of the Dominion and province. He first dealt with the work of the mothers' allowance boards. The whole object of the act is to make good citizens ol' the children and the mother is, in the vast majority of cases, the best person to bring up the children. The mothers' allow- ances have, in many cases, prevented the children from forming bad hab- its, through lack of control, and joining the criminal classes of the province. He also stressed the good advice given the mothers by the Board's investigators. These inves- tigators visit the mothers once every three months. One of the most difficult problems in in the case of mothers who have incapacitated husbands. The bus- hand must be totally and perman- ently incapacitated. A medical man has been appointed (to Investgate every case of incapacity. Five thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven mothers in the province were receiving the allowance at tht end of the last 'fiscal year. Dr. Jamieson spqke .highly of the Grey County local board for the mothers' allowance. A proof of the efficiency of the manner in which the act is enfor- ced is the fact that there are very few complaints. Quebec has decided to copy Ontario's mothers' allow- ance act, a further proof of its ef- ficiency. There have been requests that the act be extended to widows with on e child, but the Government ha* never seen its way clear to undertake this additional expense. The province is now paying out mothers' allowances at the rate of nearly $2, 500,000 a year. "No one needs to go hungry or naked in the province of Ontario and there is no other country in the world taking so much cr.rc of its poor people," Dr. Jamieson said. Old Age Pensions Dr. Jamieson stated that he some- times thinks that it is a mistake to appoint members of the County Council as members of the local old "fro pensions board. Ontario has a greater percentage of people ovei 70 yeai\! of age than most othei provinces but the percentage of these aged people receiving the pension* in Ontario is much smaller than in most provinces, 34 out of every 100 people over 70 years of age in On- tario receiving t|-.e pensions. By adopting the Dominion annui- ties as a means of judging the in- come a man's assets will buy, much money has been saved. The number of refused cases in G~cy County is very small. Dr. Ja mkdon stated. Over $114,000 ha been spent in Grey County for pen .'ions, of which the county has paid 20 per cent. In future no pensions will b e awarded Aintil investigated by the Provincial Commission. In the past the pensions were awarded by the local boards, before being investigated by the Provincial Commission. Pensions are being paid out nt the rate of $0,000,000 a year for Ontario Til Ontario there were 41,948 pension- ITS in January. Proposed amendments will reduct the cost of pensions, Dr. Jnmieson be- lieved. When the Dominion Government takes over 75 per cent of th e pen- sions, the country's share .will be re- duced. This measure will be made retroactive 'from August 1st last. It is possible, Dr. Jamieson said, that Grey County may thus have enough money to its credit to pay for its share of the pensions for a year. The speaker pointed out that the pensions made the revenue needed for the maintenance of the Home far the Aged and Infirm much smaller. "It is possible to go too far along the line of economy," Dr. Jamieso n warned. Old age pensions and nec- c.-.sary road work should be carried on, tn stated. If, Grey County material is used for the road work, employment will be provided for the people of the county, he pointed out. "It has boon intimated that, in time the Dominion Government will take over th<> entire cost of the pensions," Dr. Jamieson said. Dr. Jamieson answered n number if rmesHoTis nsked by members of the council. On a motion of Reevo W. I. Field c<f Collingwood, chairman of the 1931 rey County old age pensions board and Reeve Alex. Cameron of Arte- mesia, the thanks of the council was extended to Dr. Jamieson. Sun Times. A FARM PROGRAM A farm program for 1932 was pre- sented in a recent address by W. R. Reek, superintendent of the Ontario Experimental Farm at Ridgetown. I n it he favored the rearing rather than the purchasing of feeder cattle, a type of cow that will make a cream check possible as well as a steer, a consist- ent hog breeding policy to avoid the disastrous results of dumping: in and out, a well-cared-for stock of poultry, a cash crop suitable for the soil and locality, clean seed and thrift. The practice of thrift was applied to all farm operations and to the production; in garden and oherwise of many home necessities. The automobile was not condemned as a piece of farm equip- ment, but Mr. Reek declared that parents and young folk in the family should sit down and talk the situation over and settle on a policy or practice that would reduce the operating ex- pences of the farm car to reasonable limits and lessen the annual deprecia- tion. The Bank of Montreal people in Goderich couldn't get the vault door to open on Friday, and had to borrow money to carry on business. Often when harried by erditors, have we desired to place our meagre wad in just such a safe, where the doors would not open.
