PAGE TWELVEC Immunization in 1 Staris This Week hi The immunization scbedule of the Healtb Unit is arranged so that during the winter months when travel on rural roads is likely ta be difficuit, clinics are held in urban scbools. The cli- ics for this winter began Jan. 14, and continue througb ta Marcb 19. During this periad, immun- ization will be offereci ta the ele- mentary scbaol children in Camp- belîford, Brighton, Coîborne, Ca- bourg, Port Hape, Newcastle and Bowmanville. Complete records of the im- munization status of' scbool chilci- ren are on file in the Health Unit, and from tbese records it is de- termined whetber or nat a child sbauld receive an inoculation, and wbat the antigen shoulci be. A written consent is obtained fram the parent before the child is immunized, and no child is done unless this bas been receiveci. School cbilren may receive pro- tection against diphtheria, tetanus and smallpox.

Young, 62 Maple Street, Massapiqua, N.Y. We had neyer heard of this town, nor did we knaw any Mrs. W. J. Yaung. We were delighted ta learn that the sender was an aid friend, whose maiden namne had been LeLona Hatcher. Leana had been sent a copy of The States- rnan, and reading this column had revived happy memaries af the- time spent in this vicinity many years aga. Those who were ac- quainted with the Hatchers will remember themn as one of the maost musical, hospitable, fun-lav- ing families ta even live in these parts. When they moved ta the U.S.A. Durham County was left the poorer. Through the years, my wife and I have often discus- seci themn, wandered where they were, what they were doing, how they were getting along. We ap- preciate Mrs. Yaung's thought- Iulness in writing. I wonder if she remembers the last duet she and I tried ta, sing. It was on a special occasion in McCrea's Cburcb. We haci fin- ished the first verse, andi gat nice- ly starteci on the second when I developeci a fit af the giggles. To make matters worse, the org- anist, Mrs. Roy Cochrane, stopped playing andi squirmed araund ta see wbat was wrong; hier action didn't help maters. After three attempts ta get going, I apologizeci ta the preacher, andi whispered ta Leana ta finish the sang as a solo. I let go of the book we had been sharing, just as Leona slack- ened lier grip, andi the book fel ta the floor witb a bang. Gooci manners decreeci thlat I pick it up and hand it ta the lady. I didn't, whicb made me mare embarasseci than ever. In my haste ta reach my seat I brushed too close ta Gertie Kirk's wide brimmeci hat, twisting it out of plumb on bier head. It was worth a quarter ta see the cangregation ducking be- hinci hymn books ta hide the mirth on their faces. The organ- ist gat gaing andi Leona, cool as a cucumber, finished the sang as a solo. After the meeting, she declared that she would neyer sing another duet with me. She tieyer bas! Her sister, Grace, was being buzzed by one of the local swains Who wasn't apt ta tbrow maney itrounci foolishly One evening he waitedl until Grace haci bought her oivn ticket for the bun-feed, then joined hier as escort. Grace acted a bit cool. At the conclusion of the evening's doings hie drove his horse and buggy ta the front of the churcb, and gruffly tolci Grace ta hop in. But Grace didn't "hop in"; instead she saici in a loud, angry vaice: "Beat it, you cheap-skate, I wouldn't be seen riding with you." Wbich, of course, withered the budding ro- mance right then andi there. Andi if yau think the rest of us didn't Iaugb like a bunch of hyenas, you're mistaken.
