Tooke 17 Per Cent. - OAKVILLE Woman Owes Health To RCAF Fund The story of a Montreal wo- man, who hovered near death one year ago but today is happy and healthy, wag told today by Mrs. Lucy Jean Woolley of 1030 Le- clair Avenue, Verdon. Twenty - nine - year-old Mrs, Woolley's restoration to health was made possible by the assist ance of the Royal Canadian Air Force Benevolent Fund. Stricken with one of the most serious types of tuberculosis in an advanced stage, Mrs. Woolley was. told by her doctor strepto- mycin treatment was needed. At that time streptomycin was prac- tically unknown in Canada and little was known of its use as treatment for tuberculosis. To- day the use of streptomycin is mandatory for the cure of the disease. Mrs. Woolley had previously undergone a serious operation in a Montreal hospital. After the operation she did not progress as rapidly as was expected, Her temperature remained high; her appetite was poor. It was then the doctor discovered she was suffering from tuberculosis of the blood stream and that streptomy- cin was needed. The cost of the drug was then $10 a gram and one gram was needed each day as treatment. Her husband, an air force veter- an, could not afford to pay for the drug.' In hopes of being able to borrow the money, Mr. Woolley went to the office of the Royal Canadian Air Force Benevolent Fund for assistance. He was told he would be given the money as a gift from the organization, Mrs. Woolley responded to the treatment almost immediately. She was hospitalized for nine months and three months ago was allowed to return to her home. Her weight was less than 100 pounds when the treatment start- ed, but by the time it was com- pleted she weighed 120 pounds. After approximately a year's time she weighs 143 pounds. Clarkson Co-op Storage To Be Completed When six Clarkson growers came to the that 60 part of the business. It is pos- sible that citrus fruits may be kept in storage during the May to September off season, while a scheme to use the plant for berries in order to maintain a steady market for a longer per- od is also being considered. cents per bushel was too much to pay to have their apples pre- pared for marketing, they de- cided to do something construc- tive about it. The result of their deliberation is a two-storey, $225,000 cold storage plant of concrete construction which, when completed shortly, will hold 70, 000 bushels of choice fruit and will operate on a co-operative basis. The group with which the idea first found favour comprised Everett Slacer, Bobert Speck, Fred Orr, and Roy, Bert and David Terry. The sextet met one night to discuss mutual market- ing problems, decided that work- ing together in such an enter- prise was bound to pare down packing and handling costs. "In the past, it cost us 10 cents to truck our apples to the city, 30 cents to store them, 10 cents to haul them back, and another dime to grade them," explained Mr. Speck, who is now secretary of the co-operative group which has expanded its membership to 30 growers of the area, "We feel we can cut this 60-cent per bushel cost in half with our own plant," he went on. 'The federal government subsidizes 30 per cent of the enterprise, and the province is lending us $65,- 000. Through the sale of 100 shares of stock we've raised $50,- 000 ourselves, and the plant is now close to being a reality." THIS musical career. THE OAKVILLE BAND We cordially invite all those interested in band music, or who would like to learn to play a musical instrument, to come to the Band Hall, two blocks north of the Gregory Theatre, Dundas St., any Tuesday Night at 8 p.m. IS FREE For those who are interested, we can supply you with instruments and start you on a So come out to the Band Hall and find out for yourself the fun you can have playing in the band. Space will be allotted accord- ing to the number of shares pos- sessed, he revealed, when about half the facilities become avail- able about the middle of October. It is expected the structure will be fully completed by December 1. It will have an elevator and the most modern refrigeration ob- tainable. Mr. Speck points out that, while it would take more than 120 men to operate the graders now used by the 30 members, only 15 men are required to run the only large scale grader with which the new. plant will be equipped. "This alone will make for a substantial saving," he said. Original plans called for a plant of 100,000 bushels capacity, but current building costs neces- sitated a drop in this figure.
