In 1936 the variety of potatoes was changed and Iriqh Cobblers were grown, each club member receiving a bag of seed from Northern Ontario. At that time the Weatherilt's were only growing- about three acres of patatoes, mostly a variety called Snow Flakes.. In 1937 they grew their fir'st Kgtahdin potatoes and this was the 'first year they grew any quantity. In 1939 they conducted an experiment on fertilizer for the ----- Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph in competition with many other grawers and had the most satisfactory resuits.

We learned that Physical Therapy, Sa called. largely de- pends, along with some drugs1 upon the use of electric cur-1 rents ta carry effects of variaus nature directly ta desired or- gans or functions anywhere within the human body. Naturally, said he, this work caters to failing functions as contrasted with drugs which are aur sheet-anchor in disease, Dr. Williams says, "If you have the itch or measles, he is flot interested?" But the doctor could not be persuaded ta enlarge an this scîentific medicine as he said it would appear ta make a hero of h imself, but when it is kniown that the work treats success- fully, safely and comfortably, reasonably early cases of such a delicate condition as cataract of the eye, one can gather what a wide field of usefulness it meets. He remarked that the only thing that hurts about the treatments is paying for thero. The doctor said if he had wanted ta push bis work he would have stayed in Toronto, but down here in bis native county of Durham, apart fromn getting away from the frenzy of city traffic and big city pace of living, his former clientele and perhaps the service he might be ta aur local doctors would give him ail he wanted ta do, for it was even danger- aus ta abruptly cease a former active life.- We suggested ta him the fol- lowîng lunes: "That doctors have yet ta dis- caver The line that marks old age from yauth,1 Bethany and community paid its customary tribute ta newly- weds here on Wednesday even- ing and presented Mr. and Mrs. Allan Beer (nee Margaret Earl) with a chesterfield, matching club chair and coffee table.

Mrs. Reed ex- plained the position of the Mis- sion Band with a possibility of dividing and organizing an ex- plorer's group. A committee was appomnted ta discuss this he thinks it has become, 'The National Antruin". 1 He then enlarged upon this' whole question and upon elec- trie surgery <cutting and coag- ulating with electric current and no scalpel used), but, said he, don't quote me for the SPress - medical etiquette we presumed. Dr. Williams said his littie black bag had not left the of- fice in 30 years, he had no ba- bies on hand, was not subject to cali and should you call him, he would understand it was an invitation for evening dinner, and Mrs. Williams and he would be there. Asking him one more ques- tion of where he thought the greatest general usefulness of Electro-Therapy manifested it- self, he said in aIl children, but most evident of course in the delicate, marasmic child be- cause, (and we just knew his mind was an adenoid tissue) it did samething worth while at the right time of life-the de- veloping age, which meant sa much for a life-time, bath men- tally and physically. When we suggested he had the most complete complement of equipment for his wôrk in Canada, he said that was true and there had ta be such offices, rfor your doctor in General Practice had no time for, much it of such work even apart, from overhead of housing equipment Scost, and necessary experience.
