Medical authorities are hoping that this situation wil con- tinue although the disease la mnore frequently detected during the period July .l5th to October l5th. Cases have been reported, how- ever, during the winter months. 1It has been estimated that in' eé0-9 age group about one child *l6.000 develops paralysis as a resuit of poliomyelits-the chance of death through the same cause is one in 19,000. 0f those who *contract poliomyelitis-50 to 56 persons recover without paralysis, an additional 31 per cent, approx- imately, have a recoverable disa- bility; 8 to il percent have resid- ual paralysis of varying degree; three to five percent prove fatal 1The great majority of cases oc- cur in children in the 5-9 age group.

PONTYPOOL We had our share of excitement on July l6th, when a plane, based at Trenton Airport, made a forced landing on the farm 0of Hector Begg, a couple of miles north of this village. The 'plane engine apparently blew a gasket, thus immobilizing it. It landed on a sod field, from which hay had rbeen removed, bounced a couple -of times, coming to a stop on a -ploughed field, with littie dam- age to either field or plane. Mr. Begg deserves the thanks sof the R.C.A.F., as well as the ad- miration of his fellow citizens. When he saw the plane coming down, he immediately phoned Dr. 3McNeil of this village. The Doc, a relic of the first world war, burned the rubber to get to thc scene. Fortunately, the-'pilot was unhurt. The blaze of decorations on hîs chest spoke eloquently of his thirteen years in the Air Force. during which time he has, on four occasions, brought 'planes down safely under circumstances very s]milar to that which transpired on July l6th. Four interesting points present themselves. The pilot was unhurt. The 'plane was not wrecked. Dr.' McNeil respond- ed to an emergency. Mr. Begg deserves special recognition for his presence of mind. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie McNeil, of Janetville, have purchased the house, currently occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Morrison, and form- erly owned by Mrs. Jim Curtis. The McNeils are busy painting their new purchase. It is their intention to stay in the house dur- ing the winter months and on their Janetville farm during the summer. The Morrison's and McNeil's are dividing the house, thus çn- abling the Morrison's to live noar the service station which they op- erate. And, at the same time, assuring the McNeils of a town bouse for the winter. As we stood chatting, recently, with Col. Lorno McLaughlin, this, writer's mind turned back the pages of time to that day, 33 yeairs ago, when the Commander of the first brigadé was briefing his four batallion commanders for the forthcoming Vimy Ridge offen- sive. The story that went the rounds of the trenches, causing plenty of amusement, was to the effect that. just as the General finîshed telling his four "Kernels" of the vast importance attached to the winning of the "Ridge" battie, Lorne pulled bis cane out of the mud, scrutinized, the earth adbering to the end of it, and cooly romarked: "This ground would grow great wheat, Gen- eral." We recently met a lady, employ- ed by a Toronto firm. She dlaims there are twenty females, whose given name is Mary, working at the same place. This same lady has two daughters, married to two brothers, who are both drivers of milk delivery trucks, and who live in adjoining houses. One daughter is the mothor of tbree girls, and wishes she had a boy. The other daughter is the mother of three boys, and wishes she had a girl. Our now acquaintance told us of ber mother's first visit to Toronto from a distant farrn. When the elderly lady arrived in the Union Station, a red cap as- sisted ber to the waiting room, de- posited the heavy bags on the floor, then held out bis band for a tip. The farm. woman, knowing nothing of the tipping habit, shook bands with the bewildered red cap, remarking "Son, you're the first person I've met tbat's made me welcome in the City of T'oronto." An embarrassed and amused daughter tipped the por. ter, thon explained the situation to ber mother. A few weeks ago, this same lady bhanged rooming bouses. But, before securing the new rooms, she had to present satisfactory references showing that she was anon-smoker, non-drinker, didn't stay out late at ight, didn't enter- tain boy frionds in her room, and >aid her room rent promptly. Our friend was pleasod with ber room. and pleasod too that she bad such a strict Christian landlady. After ecuring the room, the renter tayed wlth relatives for a few nights. Imagine ber surprise whon she rang the bell of her new diggings, to be confronted by an inebriated lmndlady. Think- TM ' C AMAD!M STATESMMi.

This ia the season for biiber- ries or, as some folks around here cail them, sugar pluma. The trees ini this area are ioaded with luscious purpie fruit. A fresh bilberry pie, the way Butch makes it, is something to re- member. A lot of people are afraid this fruit is poisonous. It isn't. One af its big avantages is its unusual sweetness. Its seeds don't get under your efaIse plate, either. Viitors to the Canadian Na- tional "Exhibition have came to expect the fîneat banda ai Europe and America.

Laughter applauded bis words and the speaker continued, "Don," lie said pointing to a well-laden clothes basket, "we wisb you good ]uck and we would like you to accept these gifts with the club's best wishos." Don Morris tbankod the Rotary club for their kindness and offer- ed a suitable retort to the re- marks made by Dave Morrison: Ho told the club that at the ter- mination of the luncheon meeting, lie was coing to drive to the bos- pital to bring bis wif e and new- born son home. Addressing the entire gathering, he said, "We'lF ho Lyiad to have you drop in any- tme to take a look at the type ol child to bave.".

Robert Cochrane, Peter- borough, an ex-Rotary member in Bowmanville, was also present at the Friday luncheon meeting. Steady increase in attendance attests the popularity of the Can- adian National Exhibition. An ali-time record was set last year at 2,650,500. Preparations have been made for the reception of a stili larger crowd this year from Agust 25tb to Sept. 9th.
