THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, MARCH «, 1933 A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA THE SCHOOL CHILD There is a tendency on the part of a large number of parents to con sider the common cold in young child- ren as being relatively unimportant. This is especially true in the case of children at the beginninff of theii school years. The first years of school find a child in a totally different environ- ment from that of his first years of life. In the home the daily round of the pre-school child varies but little from day to day, and during this period excitement is at a low ebb, as compared with the glamor and op- portunities for contact which the earlier years at school hold. In the home children are lightly clad, whereas in many instances, they are Bent to school with far too much clothing. The anxious mother pre- pares her child for the cold walk, but she may neglect the temperature of the school rooms. Outside coats are dispensed with in the cloak room, but sweaters and thick stockings are frequently worn throughout the day in the class room. Sometimes warm clothing ia necessary, but often enough class rooms become overheat- ed and the child uncomfortably warm. During the quick exit at the recess period, lunch or school closing, such an overheated child may fail to put on his overcoat, or, more often, makes the journey home with his coat wide open. An abrupt change of temper- ature, with its rapid cooling effect and consequent lowering of resistance, provides an opportunity for bacteria ordinarily present in the mouth, to become active, with the result that an upper respiratory infection devel- ops. Once such a cold has been dis- covered, it is essential that the child be kept at home, not only to avoid complications, but to protect other children in the same class or the same school from catching" the cold. Such infections are only too often contracted from close contact with colds from which others are suffering. An eminent authority once declared that the first decade of an individual's Vfe should be primarily concerned with health, and the second decade with education. Education is most happily acquired by healthy children and lessons in health are but a branch of education.

FLESHERTON Association Meeting The annual meeting of the Flesh- erton Old Boys' and Girls' Association will be held at room 307, Commerce and Transportation Bldg., J.59 Bay street, Toronto, on Monday, March 20, at 8 p.m. The business of the meeting will include the election ot officers, presentation of the Treasur- er's report and other matters con- cerning the affairs of the Associa- tion will be discussed. It is hoped that a large number of the members will attend so that a representative opinion may be obtained as to the future conduct of the affairs of the Association. the program prepared by Mrs. C. C Chen, chairman of the National Com- mittee of the Y.W.C..\. of China. A very intere.uing and profitable meet- ing was held. The collection am- ounted to $3.36.

Egg prices, however, have become slightly firmer, recently, and given normal March weather, the outlook for steady prices is encouraging. CATTLE FOR BRITISH MARKET MUST BE CAREFULLY SELECTED Students Divids Prize The Michael Fawcett oratory schol- arship, open to theological students in their final year at the University of Toronto, was competed for last Thursday evening. Mr. Wilfred Lock- hart, son of Mrs. Lockhart of this place, and Mr. Frank Bannister, stu- dent minister at Hopeville, Proton Station and Inistioge, were tied for first place. The prize of $40 was divided equally between these young men. who are both deserving of con- gratulations. â€" Dundalk Herald. ••x~>*»X";~ Checker King Here Checker players of town had a splendid opportunity of seeing a checker champion in rare form on Tue.sday afternoon. Dr. Angus Craw- ford of Alton. Canadian checker cham- pion visited Mr. .Walter Akitt, who airano-pd s little tournament amongst local players. Four boards were in plav all the time and the distinguish- ed visitor came out with a majority "f the games. JIi'. W. Lawson of Markdale was also in town to take part in the playing.

Five days is the average time re- quired to recover from a cold, but this will naturally vary, depending upon the type of the cold and the constitution of the individual. A mechanic in an Ohio garage was called upon to take a bone from a dog's throat. He did it in a jiffy having cleaned out a good many feed lines before. "Is our export of beef and stocker cattle being jeopardized by the meth- ods of a certain number of produc- ers?" This was the question ot Garnet H. Duncan, livestock investi- gator, Ontario Marketing Board. Mr. Duncan pointed to the fact that a high percentage of Canadian heifers arriving in Great Britain have proved to be with calf. It is his thought that, since there is no market for that class of livestock in the Old Country at present, the continuing of this practice will work to the disadvantage of all producers. Great Britain ha.s the potentialities of becoming our greatest market, and therefore, is worthy of our best products. Care- lessness in the class of stock shipped to that country, must result in the destruction of a most valuable outlet. Public Stock Yards During he twelve months of 1932, Tewer cattle were marketed at public stock yards by approximately 76,000 head, as compared with the previou.s year. The curtailment in the move- ment to market should not, however, be considered as an indication of a relative decline in production. • Prices were a ruling influence and were consistently responsible for a com- mendable caution in respect to load- ings. It was pohited out most frequently during the year that the condition of the market was such that even a normal run would develop al- most unsaleable carry-overs. FleshertoD Nosed Out Victory In Curling Flesherton Curling Club won a one point margin in a local bonspiel with the Markdale club, held here on Mon- day evening. Four rinks made the trip down from our sister village and an interesting and friendly evening was enjoyed by all who participated. The Sproule rink of Markdale won from Dr. Muri-ays rink 7-5 and the Rcbum rink won from H. A. Mc- Cauley 8 to 1. The next two Flesh- erton teams overtook the handicap by Cecil McTavish winning from the Beaton rink 6-4 and Welton having the advantage over Dr. McArthur't rink 9-4.

Welton.. Some entertainment was provided by a scotch song sung in Gaelic by Dr. J. A. Mc.A.rthur, which was well given, even though the words he was using were all Scotch to the gathering. Dr. L. G. Camp- bell grave an interesting reading in the Irish brogue and Gordon Beaton entertained with a humorous song. Rev. Bennett welcomed the visitors in a few words and Dr. Campbell re- plied to the welcome as president of the Markdale Curling club and J. O. Dargavel of the Flesherton club also spoke a few words of welcome. The evening's entertainment was closed with the visitors rendering "'For They are Jolly Good Fellows"' and the join- ing of hands and singing "Auid Lang Syne." During the evening Mr. T. H. Re- i)urn of Markdale presented the Flesherton Curling Club witn a brush of broom, grown on the estate of -Adniiial Beatty in Scotland, as a memento of his visit to Scotland with the Canadian curlers a few years ago. Mr. Reburn's thoughtfulnes-s in presenting this souvenir to the elub is apreciated by the members. Will Welcome Change Municipal clerks and printers will especially welcome a propo!>«d bill now before the Ontario Legislature by which a person whose name has been let off the municipal voters' list will not be disqualified from voting if his name is on the assessment roll and a certficate to that effect is produced to the deputy returning officer on election day. This will obviate the expense of bringing on a Judge's Court of Revision to add a few names that have been left off by the clerk in copying from the assess- ment roll or the printer in his work. The jig-saw puzzle craze seems to be about as popular now as the crjss- word puzzle was a few years ago. A spendthrift is one who spends his money. A tightwad is one who saves it for somebody else to spend. Free speech is saying what you like if you are sure the majority ot the people agree. Auction Sale Farm Stock, Implements, Etc.

HICKLING ! t I A poultry house 20 by 20 feet is regarded as about the correct size foi one hundred laying hens. A house of this size used at the Experimental Stai'lfon, Harrow, Ont., fs jn-oving satisfactory. Birds in a smaller house, 16 by 18 feet, appeared to be more uncomfortable during the winter j months. This condition, as stated by the Superintendent, was borne out I by the behaviour of the birds in the smaller house for they would seek shelter from the draught and huddle in corners. .A.n outbreak of colds and roup confirmed this condition, as no trouble of this nature was experienced in the larger house. A careful record of the variation in temperature of the two houses show- ed comparatively little difference This uncomfortable condition was be- lived to be due to draughts created in the narrower house. Broader shoulders for men this year, say the designers of clothes. .â- \nd allowances, we hope, for a little hump for the place where the taxes bear down.

THE END OF THE LINE The stout woman slipped on the icy top step of the stairway and rolled tt the bottom, carrying with her a smah man who had been coming up ji-st behind her. As the landing 'was reached, the little man waited a mo- ment for action; then, lifting his head as far as circumstances would permit, he gasped: "You'll have to get off here, lady.
