So far, a rougI calculation would in- dicate fIat almost 20 per cent of the samples taken, have been re- ported on as unfit for human con- sumption. Dr. Miller believes, tlat thîs poor quality of wafer in rural wells, is offen responsible for ouf- breaks of stomach "flu" and sum- mer diarrhoea. No cases of fy- ploid fever have been reported 50 far this summer. Very often the wells only require cleaning out, or cribbing repairs, but occasion- ally, if the source of contamina- tion is fhe privy or barnyard, more drastic methods are needed. Householders who would like f0 have fleir drinking water tested, should get in touch with one of the Health Unît Offices, when ar- rangements Will be made to have a sample taken.

The firsf group lad lef t from fhe Niagara area the previous fal and lad ended up wifh the un- forfunafe Royal Rifles of Canada, in Hong Kong. The present whereabouf s of those men was, of course, unknown. And now a second group was filing aboard a waîfing train and wifhin min- utes would leave for an unknown destination. Homesick The chaps getfing on board fIe train were happy in one sense. This was what fliey lad waited for! A few days at home, a boat frip and then fhe Old Country! Looking back af fleir cîums from fhe open windows of fhe coaches will have to take a back seat for those first few moments when pals of Army days are met and the expression "Do you remember the da;y when-" fils the air. However the wives will have con- siderable catchinig up to do too. Many accompanied their husbands riglit across Canada and have many happy experiences to chat about. The day will be devoted to pleasure and reminiscing with the exception of about an hour wlien the men will assemble to discuss the future of their newly-founded organization and to elect off icers for the following year. Once that is over the strains of "We Are the Midlands, Midlands Are We," -"We're the Men of The Mid- land Regiment, The Finest in The Land, etc." will drown out any opposition from the boat whistle or the fog-horn.

The boss is also pleased be- cause insfead of burning several hundred watts, if lias now been cut to a fraction of the former amount, which slould make a difference in the power bill. SOFTBALL PROTEST WON Fans will remember the tense softball game played be- tween the Legion and Front Street last week when the former outfit won out in the eighth inning. They will also recaîl the arguments which developed and ivili remember fiery Jimr Woodward advisIng the umpire that the game was being played under protest. Apparently, the protest was because of a play when Cat- cher Hub Hooper dropped the third strike allowing fihe Front Street batter to make f frst. The catch ivas that there was a man on first and the batter should have been call- cd out when he missed the last strike. The committee which decides such thtngs, advises that the protest has been allowed because a couple of runs came in after the play. The game will be re- played at a later date. HOLIDAYS BEGIN NEXT WEEK The meclianical staff of The Stafesman will begin lolidays next week wif h composifor George Grahiam tlie first to go for fwo weeks.
