GOOD FRIDAY SERVUK An Easter service will be held in Ma-xiwell United Church on Friday, March 26th. at S p.m. Everyone is cordially invited. Markdale and Uundalk are having a torrid tussle in the finals of the Central Ontario Hockey League. Dundalk has ah'cady won two games from Markdale and on Monday night the %-imQ ended 4-4 with no over- time, as the players were almost e.xliausted on the watery ice. With the present mild spell the date of the next gaane has not been deoided but wUl be played in Markdale. Th( Dundalk club needs only one more win to clinch the championship ivf the leagnie. Proton Bears made the Dund'alk Semi-Pro. team hustle to win 7-5 in Flesherton Saturday night before a large crowd. Dundalk have won two games from the Bears and one more will make them champions of the Semi-Pro. League. Flesherton Midgets took Markdale into their clutches Thursday night last 4-a, making their second win of the season in two games played. -Vorm Scarrow lias done a good job as coach of the boys and they havt been eager to learn and attentive to their lessons.

Before the coming of provincial snow plows, the farmer could get into towm by sleigh or cuttei-, but now the highways are kept bare and the concession loads are snow-Mooked. In the pa»t the farmers kept the roads open by fre- quent trips to the chopping mill and hauling logs and firewood. Hydro brought the chopping mill to the farm and all logging is done durin}; the open season by trucks. Two recent farm sales in this dis- trict are indicative of what is hap- pening today. They are comparable farms as to soil and buildings. A 100-acre farm on the provincial high- v.ay sold for $8,000, while a similai- farm on the concession road brought Qnl>' $6,000. There were many ap- plications for the former property, but only one for the latter. If farm- ing is to be confined to the main highways, food production will drop shai'ply. The province and the town- ships should work out a plan to keep all roads open in this motorized ag*> The farmer on the back road is just as important to our economy as the man on the provincial highway. â€" Port Elgin Times.

Rd KI.4344 Miracle Hearing (Windsor Daily Star- A woman we know of about 50 has been deaf for years. She had scarlet fevir and the deafness followed. For the last 20 yeais or so she could not hear without a hearing: aid. Her deaf- ness matie he,, actwe in hard-of-hear" ing groups, and she became an active woi-ker in this effort. A few months ago a doctor inter â- -sted in deafness beg'an an e.^peri- .nent. By using -^ riece of ordinary oigaret paper and coating it with glyceiine and insertiiig it i,, the ear, the doctor has restored the woman's hearing. She can now hear well with- out any artificial aid whatever, oth- er than tp spwially treated cigai-et paper. If you are deai', please don't go trying experiments oti yourself with cis^iet iwper. That is something a doctoi- should do, because everything "as to be done juht so, or it will not work, may do great ham. We mention the story because we were su.-pri.sed to learn about it^ and also because it sho^vs that there is a remedy fo,. cetain kinds of deaf- ness. f/teyarein the AfBW CA/ifAOMN Afmy/ HSfllthylTbcv .irc physically !it. ibcsc soldiers . . rhcv b.iJ to he to pass enlistment cxamina- u'^'^f,*^ and thev KEEP IH They arc well- J^V Wi.''] inine »- wife "HemTy, did you gfive your that lecture on economy?*" "You bet T did . . . and ans a re- sult I quit smoking."
