But aside from the regular pedestrians on this particular day our rambling reporter spied three groups of old timers in friendly and animated conversation be- tween the Post Office and the Statesman block. At the main four corners W. J. <Buzzy) Furze, many years a re- sident of Bowmanville and now of Oshawa, was swapping stories with Dr. G. C. Bonnycastie. We know from past experience they both have a repertoire of choice parlor stories that would make "Your Morning Smile" in the Globe and Mail sound like a fun- eral dirge by comparison. We just wondered, too, if these well known veteran political workers in ye old days were not reninisc- ing a bit about the party strategy used in getting the doubtful elec- tors out to vote for theïr favorite candidate. In those days it was a political fight to a finish with many a friendship suspended dur- ing an lection campaign. But now with advancing years the meloéwing influence of time turns such political scraps into happy znemories as they are retold by the party potentates of a quarter of a centurY ago. Further down the street we met W. J. (Billy) Inch, Weston, in a conflab huddle with Dr. J. C. Devitt. It required littie of the imagination to guess what these "lads of yesteryear" were talking about for both were two of the best soccer football players to wear a green sweater for a Bow- manville team in this 2th cen- tury. Guess their activities in this line of sport even went back to the l9th century, but don't tel them we told you so. Up in Wes- ton and Mount Dennis where Billy operates two attractive and modern drug stores everybody cails him "Doc." We understnnd his two sons run the stores while the dad keeps a fatherly eye on things when he isn't playing golf or bowling or speeding along the highway i his high powered Cadillkar. But coming back to those tball days wheni as a kid we stood on the side Uines in lthe \ old drill shed grounds and watch- ed these gladiators chase the in- flated pigskin down the field. How we stood in nwe and watch- ed Biily in centre field dribble that bail with a cunning and dex- terity that made his opponents look bewildered and even foolish. As for 'Doc' Devitt's proclivities he was the original streamlined athlete. He could run as fast as a deer. He knew ail the tricks of the game and therefore his head saved him many steps. Best of ahl he was a dlean player and a good sport on and off the field. Like many other lads of my years we hero-worshipped 'Doc' and stil do. Looking down King St. in front of The Statesman office we saw a couple other old cronies from the jounalîstic realm exchanging handclasps and words of greeting. Editor Samn Wilson of the Weston Times and Guide was retumning from a Kiwanis convention in Ottawa and caled to see the grey headed editor of The Statesman.

Many declined te register, ap- ~'arently feeling that their regis- tration miglit obligate teem ta leave their homes and tawns, ta have their homes tiiled wite chil- dren tram England or tram parts af Canada or for some other ideas. Many mothers retumed ta ailow their daughtems ta register because teey telt they might be fomced ta leave home and take up duties elsewhere. Ail these points were, we thought, made clear, but were evidently misunderstood by many.

His first pastorate was in Montreal, but the rest of his ministry, and the inspiration of his writings has been in rural districts. He is now pastor of the United Church at Merrickville in Eastern Ontario. Rural ministers, like rural doctors, often feel that their work is carried on in a somewhat restricted field, protes- sionally. If Mr. Armstrong ever 1had such feelings lie very quickly ipmoved the contrary fact, by the .simple bu t somewhat rare pro- icess ot thînking deeply and con- tructively about the t h ing s around him.

Frank Schjàldlln of Parke Da"i & Company Presents Instale-. tive Addreus On Mauch Dlscused Subjeet The stomy af vîtamins, what they are, wha needs them, and wheme they are obtained, was told, in non teclinical language ta Ro- tary Club members on Fmlday when Frank Schmidlin, salesman, for Parke, Davis & Company, was the speaker. Vitamins are certain complex chemical. substances present in the body in very small aimounts. When the body doesn't get enougli of these vitamins, something goes wrong; the lack of each vitamin le evîdenced by certain characteris- tic disease ogymptoms, tihe speaker began. They have been used for a great many years eithem by accident or design. As early as 400 B.C. men began taking f ish ails ta increase their resistance ta disease. He didn't knaw exactly wlmy, because he didn't realize that some fish ails contain vîtainins A and D. In the sixteente century leman juice was first given ta sailors ta pre- vent scurvy, without knawledge that it was vitamin C, present in citrus fruits which pratected against tels deficiency disease. It. was merely chance that led ta these early uses af vitamins. During tee last decade, scien- tist.s have discovered the uses and sources of variaus vitamins and have aIma been able ta determine the approximate daily require- ments af each in the body. Scien- tists have also been able ta isolate the vitamins so that they may be taken in chemically pure torm. Vitamin A is oft(en known as the anti-infective vitamin. Not because it provides immunîty ta bacterial invasion as does Diph- theria Antitoxin or Typhoid Vac- cine, but because it maintains the skin and mucaus membranes in a normal sound condition. If te intake af vitamiAn A is deticient, the mucous membranes - of the 1nase, teroat, intestine, bladder - tend ta become dry and flaky; micmoscopic nooks and crannie provide an ideal, warxn place for disease - producig bacteria ta lodge and grow.

Hutchison in tee chair. The devotional periad was taken by Miss M. AllUn. An interesting hour was spent at the conclusion af tee meeting, when Mmm. Alex McGregor ex- hibited and explained several sou- venirs af Colombia, Saute Amer- ica, braught back by Miss Helen McGregor who visited lier sister Margaret at Cartagena tels sum- mer. Among these articles wereg a small cup and saucer af Colom- bian beaten silver, a native sîlver tea spoon on which appeared thej cagle, emblem af Colombia; large1 gaily painted gourds in which the natives carry almost aaything;1 untanned leather sandals, the Cal- ombian tootgear, and a leather case or bag. Leather and coffee are two af the chief exports af this South American republic. 1 A brightly colored bag, which seemed ta be woven af hemp or same such material, and knowa as a moduila, was another inter- esting article. These are used by workmen in Colombia and the Panama Republic ta carry lunches and the ain-capes so necessary in the two ralny seasons. A tiny woodea barrel af guayacan, the heaviest and hardest wood af Colombia, and several smail arti- cles carved in rubber, sudh as a native on a heavily laden burra, were aima examined wite interest. From Colon in tee Panama Re- public, were two beautiful Chin- esc silk kimonos, and a black Chinese silk mandarin coat, work- cd with many colorcd and fine embroidery. The latter was the property af Miss Elsie Carmuthers who brouglit it tram Colon when she visited hem cousin, Margaret McGregor, in Mardi.
