Wilcock Passes There passed away on Wednesday, March 22iui, at 4 a.m., oii< of the grand elderly ladies of Flesherton vicinity in her 89th year, in the per- son of Mrs. Catherine Wilcock, for- merly Catherine Bcntham, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Kichard Bentham and widow of the late William Wilcock. Mrs. Wilcouk's birth place was at Darlington, Ont. At the age of six she, with her parents, moved to the farm where the only remaining mem- ber of her family, Kichard Bentham, resides on the southern outskirts of Flesherton. Mrs. \Vilcoc<k was married at the age of sixteen to Mr. 'WiVliam Wilcock of Yorkshire, Eng- land, and together they hewed from the primcrval forest, their home on the west back line. Mr. Wilcock died in 1916. The year following, Mrs. Wilcock dispos«d of the farm and took up residence in Flesherton, where she remained until forced to give up her home ibecause of physical infirmity. They had a family of nine children Magdalene (Mrs. John Par- slow) of London, the late Thomas Wilcock of Regina; Richard, who gave his life in World War .1; Ella (Mrs. Geo. Alton), Markdale; Ann (Mrs. Chas. Ottewell), Montreal; Robert of Buffalo, N.Y.; Allie (Mrs. Geo. Cairns), Artemeeia, with whom she resided for the past ten years and where she was devotedly cared for by each member of the Cairns family; W^^illiam, of London; Kate (Mrs Harvey Griffin), Toronto. Mrs. Wilcock was of a patient and cheerful disposition and when health permitted was never too busy to lend a helping hand to any in need and took an active part in the community and her church. Her life was the embodiment of kindliness, a spirit of service and sacrifice prompting every action. Hers was a truly great life. The remains rested at the Richards' Funeral Home until two o'clock on Friday, at which time the service was held in the Flesherton United Church of which Mrs. Wilcock had been a life-long member. The service was conducted by the Reverend W. A. Westcott, who spoke most fittingly on passages from the 23rd Psalm. During the service Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Buchanan, Melville and Frances Bang "Have Thine Own Way, Lord.' Interment was made in Flesherton Cemetery. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. The pallbearers were Messrs. Roibt. Parslow, Snr., John Stewart, J. T. Parker, and three grandchildren, Robt. Parslow Jr., Bill and Keith Cairns. In addition to the family, those who attended the funeral from a dis- tance were: Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bird and Mrs. Bird, Snr., of Gait, W. N. Hemphill and son. Ken, Wm. Stewart, Snr., Frank Stewart, Mrs. Fred Shepipard, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Griffin, Mrs. Geo. Adams, Mrs. Alex. McDonald and Mr. W. Bell, all of Toronto; Mrs. Clifford Metherall, Harvey Taylor, Mrs. Geo. Weir and son. Will, and Mr. Ansley Milne, all of Collingwood; Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wiley, Mr. and Mrs. Willnrd Wiley, Mrs. W. Burn.side and Mrs. Wm. Hill, all of Markdale. rhe Late Mrs. E. Scilley .V ;ong life of faithful service was brought to a close, when Mrs. Mary .kiUey entered into rest at her home in Dundalk on Thursttfay, March 16. l.orn at Pickering, Ont.

In 1877 she was iHU'ried to Enoch Seilley, Third Line, Osprey, and sipent her life there up to April, 1925, when she moved to Dun- dalk. For several years she conducted the post-office at Hatherton, at the same time operating the farm and raising a large family, her husband having died at an early age 43 years ago. With strong faith in the Al- mighty and by dint of hard work and |)er.severence, she raised her large family on a small farm, and these in turn rise up and call her blessed. Of the ten children, five daughters survive. They are: Mrs. Wm. Find- lay, Mrs. H. Irwin, Mrs. Harry Minke, Viva and Emma, all in Dundalk. Four grandchildren, Mai^-Alice, Harry, Viva and Hazel Scilley, also live in Dundalk. Rev. L.

Possibly before the lime this appears in print we will have a Health Service Act. We wond- er if it will be adequate. Will it be what we have been waiting for? Some local groups have, for a- numiber of years, given considerable attention to our system of medical services, considering how the service to rural people could be improved and how the cost could be pooled over a whole community to relieve any indi- viduals of financial burdens too heavy for them to bear. At the present time the doctors' incomes depend on our feeing ill, and if we are not ill they have litte means of income. Thus, there is no incent- ive to the buikMng of a healthier coimmunity. The Federation of Agriculture be- lieves that doctors should be paid on a salary basis and that it should be their duty to prevent illness, as to give treatment. When the doctor is paid to keep the people in a com- munity well he has a better oppor- tunity to nip disease in the bud. Under the present system he is forced to wait for tihe patient to go to him, and because of the fear of a EUGENIA Mrs. M.

Under this arrangement it would be to the interests of the med- ical profession to beep the people well because the fewer the people who were sick the greater the doc- tors' profit would be. It should be arranged that the doctors' salaiy would increase when the percentage of illnoss in the commiuiity decreas- ed. The executive of the Ontario Fed- eration of AgrienUurn met with members of the Cabinet, of both the Hepburn and the Drev/ Go\ernments asking for legislation to enable any municipality (after tak'ng a vote of the taxpayers) to raije mowy through taxation to provide ' talth service to the people of thai munici- pality. But so fur that legislation has betn gr-^nted to one small part of 'ii^ province, S'. Josnph's Island. The health of the people is the firs': consideration of any statesnia.". We, in this country, pay huge sums of money for education, to educate a people who, in the military age group,, have over 40% unfit for ser- vice. They are our young people who should be healthiest of all. We fai-m people budget for other things, why not also for health ser- vices? We pay a dog tax so that nyone losing his flock of sheep, through dogs, is compensated. As an individ- ual he might not be aible to stand the loss. We pay fire insurance to help a neighbour who loses his buildings. Why do we not pay a health tax to help our neighbours' and to help our- selves ? Confidence must be hard won.

NETWORK Starting from April 7th QNTARIO Farmers Need Help I This ^ coming Summer the greatest food crops in our war history must come off Ontario Farms â€" in spite of an acute shortage of experienced Farm Help. IN THE PAST two years, citizens from the cities and towns of Ontario saved thousands of tons of fruit, vegetables and fodder by voluntary farm work. Particular tribute must be paid, in this respect, to Ontario's Student Army of the Land. In tens of thousands, boys and girls, young men and women from pub- lic and high schools, from colleges and universities, sacrificed holidays and even some school lime, to harvest precious, essential produce that otherwise must have spoiled in the orchards and fields. Labourers, mechanics, bus drivers, book- keepers, stenographers and housewives, and people from other walks of life, likewise put personal interests and pleasures aside, spending holidays, week- ends and eveningsâ€" even time £tom regu< lar duties â€" to assist in the emergency. Through Schools, Churches, Service and Social Clubs, Neighbourhood Groups and Business Organizations, the ranks of the Farm Service Force's "Com- mandos", "Holiday Brigades", "Old Boy Brigades", "Student Brigade*", and others were manned with Willing Workers. YOU ARE NEEDED AGAIN -more urgently than ever before â€" this year. Yon are urged, "For Peace Sake", to "Pitch In" and help on the farms, i he armies of the Allies have been increased tremendously in the past year. They must be fed. Many "Land Soldiers" of former years are now helping produce victories instead of crops. They must be replaced.
