Mr. Ste- phenson appeared on the platforrn with mayor C. G. Morris and spoke over the loudspeaker in bis capacity as federal member and a feilow citizen. Mr. Stephenson referred to the truly remarkable record of en- listments from Bowrnanvilie dur- ing the late war and the splendid contributions they bad made for victory, testimony of wbicb was revealed in the many bonors and decorations won on the battie fields. He spoke witb feeling of those wbo laid down their lives and the fortitude of tbe mothers bereaved. The honor won by Bow- manvilie soldiers was an bonor also, sbared by the entire county. Glad to be among the men and women wbo he deemed to be first citizens whom be was proud to irepresent, he asked that eacb and everyone baving any difficuitties in the nature of re-establishment, would write birn or see, him and he would do ahl in bis power for atheir benefit.

Shut-in's Day cornes around again on the first Sunday of June -this year, June 2nd. Let us earrnark that day for some very speciai visits-call on some friend, or friends, whomn you have not visited for some time. If you can't visit thern, fiowers are aiways in order; and a cheery letter or card helps far more than you might think. In any case, let those shut- in friends know they are not for- gotten, even if tbey do have to watch lîfe from a hospital cot or a wheel-chair. If your shut-in friends can go out a bit-with your kind heip- then see if they can go for a drive; that is a rare treat for many. Or, if you can, take them to the mor- ning church service-most of the churches are having something special for the sick folk on the first Sunday of June. Make Shut-in's Day a very hap- py day for two friends, and it wii be one of the happiest days in your experience, too. You wil not wait tîi next June to repeat the experience, but you wiii heip to fulfil the real purpose of Shut- in's Day-to make life happier for the sick and the disabled, both veteran and civilian, every day of the year. 1 AY 1 The following section of Schedule "B"" of the Public i-Iealth Act, R.S.O., 1937, Chapter 299, are published for the inform- ation of every citizen of the United Counties -Section 20 Every householder and every hotel and restaurant keeper or other person, shall dispose of ail garbage, for the disposai of which lie is responsible, Éther by burning the same or by placing it i a properly covered receptacle, the contents of wh.ich shall be regularly removed, at least twice a week.
