About half the front page is taken up with business ecards and several columns are devoted to a description of "Noble Gothic Pile--the mother of parliaments." The names of those of those advertising are of interest-- W. H. Dunsford, was manager of the Bank' of Commerce, Dr. Robt, Archer had just competed his medical train- ing and gone into partnership with his brother, Dr, David Archer, Dr. W. A. Sangster, dentist, shared an office next to the post office, with his father, Dr, J, H. Sangster, physician and sur- geon, Dr, J. A, Murray, dentist, Dr. S. J. Mellow, also a physician and sur- gean, advises that he has a phone in office and house, open day and night over lines south, connected with re- sidence of G. L. Robson, V.S.; Dr. Mc- Grattan (dentist) had his office over Allison's Drugstore. The lawyers in the village wee Wm. H, Harris, Jno. W. Crozier, N: F, Patterson, K.C., and J. E. Farewell, K.C.; Hubert Ebbels, barpister, offers to loan money at b per cent, while David J. Adams, bank- or and broker, has money to lend as low a 4 per cent. H., G. Hutcheson was manager of the Western Bank. Besides George Jackson, well known auctioneer, we had Jos, Baird, at Man- chester, and Thos. Swain, Caesarea. Miss Harrison, dress and mantle maker, received her clientele in rooms above Allison's Drugstore (I.G.A. Store now.) Larger ads were displayed on inside pages. The Christmas Fair and Mark- et was given much prominence. Jas. Carnegie operated the roller flour mill. I J. Wheeler and 8. T. Cawker & Son advertise choice fresh meats, while Forman & Sons and E. H. Purdy handled groceries. Jones & Co. oc- cupied a prominent space in this edi- tion of the North Ontario Observer-- advertising special Christmas goods-- but they don't specify what the goods consisted of; A. W. Allin had a special deal in cutters of which he had ob- tained 'a""carload 'lot from Tudhope Carriage Co. of Orillia. W. A. Beatty and John Rolph call attention to their harness business. = A J, Davis had just improved his drugstore; Diesfield's were in jewellery and watch repairs; the Jessop Furniture Co. the manage- ment of W. J. Nott, had two ads--one for "sacrifice" sale of furniture and the other advertising "to furnish cloth casket, outside case, and everything nice in the equipment with one of our fine hearses for $34, $33,or $32. J. W. Meharry, a real estate broker, had money to loan; W. H. Doubt was in the tailoring business and N. Ingram | & Sons were offering a special deal in incubators, 8 sizes, to take up to 240 eggs, were available with three years to pay--along with numerous ads for various patent medicines we find other small ads--want ars, pro- perty for sale, lost and found items, carpentry, bricklaying, agriculture machines, livery stables--blacksmith- ing are all scattered through the pages indiscriminately, -- among these we note other familiar names: 8. Switzer, R. Vansinkler, W. F. Nott, T. J. Wid- den and W. H. McCaw. Best Seller of All Time The Bible is the best seller of all time. It is the book of the month every month of the year, every year of the calendar. It is perennially modern, never outdated, and whatever the price, it is priceless, for it has brought solace to the sick, comfort to the sorrowing, spiritual strength to the strong. It has given hope to the poor, humility to the proud. It has touched the hearts of kings and com- moner. It was written for all people of all nations at all times. It points the way to spiritual wealth that never can be taxed and to spiritual dividends that never will be passed. It is the dispenser of life to those who follow its counsel; it is the unfailing beacon to guide men into that new world of righteousness where there will be no It is the textbook of freedom, the guide- book of life. Let us study its teach- ings, follow its counsel, and live; for "this means everlasting life, to know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent forth, Jesus Christ." H. Swain Heads Field Crop Winners Blackstock. Cartwright Agricul. tural Society has announced the re- sults 'of its annual Field Crop Com- petition in oats. All grew Lanark oats with exception of Carl Wright and Leslie Taylor who chose Beaver cats and Ralph Larmer, Ernest Lar- mer and Douglas Mackie who grew Larain. : The winners are; Harold Swain, 96; Ralph Larmer, 96%; Bruce Ashton, 96; Albert Wright, 94%; Ernest Lar- mer, 94; Howard Forder, 93; Carl Wright, 92; Douglas Mackie," 911%; Leslie Taylor, 91; Fred Trewin, 90; Stan Taylor, 89; Dorrell Bros., 89. One bushel of these oats is to be exhibited by each exhibitor at Black- stock Fair in October by each con- testant. Big Holstein Entry At C.N.E. All indications point to a "hot" Holstein show at the C.N.E. this year, 337 head have been entered by 121 ex- hibitors which compares with 2566 head shown by 87 exhibiitors in 1953. Some 24 breeders are entered at the C.N.E. for the first time this_year, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 2 and 3 are judging days with J. D, Innes, of Woodstock, placing the awards, While operated as an open show, the C.N.E. is designated as the Holstein Championship Show for West-Central Ontario and all but 6 of the exhibitors are from the ten counties in this dis- trict. = Wentworth and Halton each have 16 exhibitors, Peel 18, Brant and Haldimand 12 each, Waterloo 11, Wel- land 8, Lincoln and Wellington 7 each end Grey b. Holstein feldman George Drennan of Guelph, who has personaly. inspect- ed most of the entries states that this wil be a very strong show from the standpoint of quality. Competition will be particularly keen in the County Herd Class where each of a the above counties will have a first class entry. Prize money. foor Holsteins totals $7,318 which is believed to -be the larges amount ever offered in Canada. Filling Senate Vacancies We don't envy Mr. St. Laurent his task of having to fill 18 vacancies in the Senate. Here are 18 of the cus- hiest jobs in---Canada, all in the gift of one man, and the whole world knows it. We don't know how many applicants there are for each of these jobs, but it is dollars to doughnuts that there are far more than there would have been if the remuneration had not been increased as it was a year 'or two ago. It would be a statesmanlike act for the Prime Minister to select men for these vacancies purely on the strength of their characters and abilities with- out regard for their politics. But if he did this he would offend many of his own friends who feel that the party owes_them something; and no- body likes to disappoint his friends. If he delays much longer in making appointments 'the effect will be the same; and if he appoints good Liberals to all the vacancies he will still have to leave probably hundreds of his friends out in the cold. We believe it was Arthur Meighen who said that for every appointment a Prime Minister makes he makes 20 enemies and one ingrate, Canada can afford to pay her law- makers enough to enable them to live in dignity commensurate with their positions; but she can't afford to have her laws made by men who are at- tracted to the job only by the cushi- ness of it. We suggest that the best way to reform the Senate is to give it more to do--not more time-filling jobs but jobs of such impertance that they can- root be left unfinishéd, and the doing of which will tax the abilities of the mémbers, Word Has beer received that Rev. H. S. Swabey, formerly the Rector of the Church of the Ascension, and his family have arrived at their destina- tion in England. Rev. Mr. Swabey, a native of Eng- land, began his studies at Wellington School and took his M.A, and B.D. degrees. at Durham University and also had done much work necessary for the Doctor of Divinity Degree. Upon his graduation Mr, Swabey became Vicar of Lindell, Essex. A few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Swabey decided to come to Canada with their family and Port Perry and Brooklin were success- ful in acquiring his services in their interests and in this district they have found many loyal friends who deeply regretted their return to England. After the recent death of his mother Rev. Mur, Swabey felt it incumbent upon him to return to his home land, and he now expects to take up duties in the Lincoln Diocese on England's East Coast, The parishoners gathered together in the local Parish Hall to bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Swabey and to present tokens of remembrance, Mr. J. C. 'Whitby and Mr. Art Brunton, on be- half of the congregation, presented [ARRIVES SAFELY IN ENGLAND Mr, Swabey with an M.A. hood from his home university (Durham) and Mrs. Swabey with beautiful jade ear- rings. pressed their appreciation for .the operation and kindness shown them during their life in Port Perry. Rev. H. S. Swabey, B.A., B.D. Tells of Drift in Britain from Socialized Medicine Every litte while there is an out- burst from certain people advocating state medicine in Canada. For the benefit of our readers we are passing on the following despatch from Lon- don, England, which appeared in the Chicago Tribune: --* Both patients and physicians are beginning to" drift away from the government health administration, the Fellowship for Freedom in Medi- cine reported today. The fellowship, which is composed of 6,000 doctors opposed to a govern- ment monopoly-in medical care, said the change was unmistakable. The health ministry, however, said change. It added its records and re- ports were at least a year late. Big Drift Among Poor The fellowship reported that the biggest drift from the administration was among low income groups. Why are some patients paying their own bills once again? To get better service and better relations with their doctors, the fellowship said. Why are doctors going back into private practice? The fellowship quotes. doctors who safgprivate prac- tice means lower incomes, longer hours and more concentrated work but gives a feeling of satisfaction of being able to see different cases through to an_ end. unhampered by burerats, (Un- der-the health administration, govern- ment patients are separated from their it had not yet detected a noticeable| family doctor when admitted to gov- ernment hospitals.) "Private treatment is the most sat- isfactory relationship for both doctor and patient," a doctor who has both goverhment and private patients said. "Both are more other,"" Question of Timing A doctor who has gone back to private practice said he gets more putients at the proper time. Under government service, he said, one minority of patients plagued him with travialities" while another hated to bother him until the ailment be- came really serious. 3 Under private practice, the first minority "stayed away because they would have to pay for their folly while the second called the doctor earlier. Another doctor said his regained private practice is rewarding because patients expeet him to produce. results. THERE'S SAFETY IN CLEANLINESS! Clean food, handled by clean people under sanitary dom be guilty fo causing food poison- ing. Buy your food in a clean, tidy store. Wash all food, even though you plan to cook it. Make sure food is stored, prepared and eaten in clean surroundings. Public picnic tables and campsites are a wonderful inven- tion, but they should always be cover- ed or thoroughly cleaned before us- ing. Especially away from home, children and adults should be encour- aged to wash hands often. Cuts and open sores should be covered--and of course -all-food-should-be well protect- ed from disease- -earrying flies and insects. 1. Ontario has reason to be proud! of its Provincial Parks, of which Algonquin, 176 miles north-east of Toronto, is probably largest and best known.
