During the entire tbirty-two minutes of play there were but five baskets scored for the floor and but four successful fouI shots. Botb teams set up air-tight defensive formations and made scoring chances very dif- ficuit to obtain. Oshawa opened tbe scoring in the first quarter on Seeley's suc- cessful free tbrow, following a B.H.S. foul. This was quickly matcbed by Ferguson's foul tbrow try, leaving tbe score at the end of the quarter 1-1. In the second quarter Patte o! Oshawa, sank two baskets, against Gilhooley's one and Mcllveen's conversion of a foul shot, to leave the score at haîf time at 5-4 for Oshawa. Early in the third quarter Osh- awa increased its lead witb Patte's third basket and Seeley's second successful foul sbot. Near the end of the quarter Mcllveen of B.H.S., found the hoop for a field goal bringing the score to 8-6. There was no scoring by eitber team in the hast quarter as Osh- awa were able to keep possession seemingly- for minutes on end.

Wben there are cases of mumps in outside municipalities, it is only to be expected that there will be the odd one in town, but if the people will co-operate in carrying out the regulations for the pre- vention o! communicable diseases, there will not likely be any seri- ous epidemic.

JEWELL "Bila 20", BOOKSTORE Phone 556 Bowmanvllle Red Cross To Launch Drive In March For Ten Million Dollars A national appeal for $10,000,- 000 in voluntary contributions to the work of the Canadian Red Cross Society will be launched tbrougbout thc Dominion March 1, and tbrougb the succeedîng tbre weeks. This was announced in a joint statement by Jackson Dodds, Chairman o! the Central Council, and Mr. Justice P. H. Gordon, Chairman o! the National Execu- tive o! the Society. "The Canadian Red Cross urg- ently nceds a minimum o! $10,- 000,000 to carry on its work in the mitigation of buman suffer- ing," the statement declared. "Wben the Society made its ap- peal to the people last May there was a generous response and we feel confident that the citizens o! Canada, wbo are noted for their open-beartedness, will once more rally to the support o! our cause. "The Red Cross is an interna- tional organization and under the Conventions o! Geneva, is re- quired to obtain its support by voluntary subscriptions to pre- serve its rigbts, privileges and im- munities guaranteed under inter- national law," the statement said. "No belligerent government may finance a Red Cross Society; to do so would destroy the international status o! the Society and even wipe out its immunity under fire. "The decision to bold the na- tional appeal in Marcb was made with the fullest co-operation o! the Dominion Government to avoid clasbing witb plans o! the National War Finance Commit- tee," the statement declared. "Also during Marcb tbe American Red Cross will bold its national war appeal, making it a continent- wide Red Cross month. "One o! the biggest works facing the Society during the current year is supplying food parceis for Canadian, British and Empire prisoners o! war in Europe and the Far East. The Society now bas five packing plants in Can- ada, whicb sbortly will reacb a weekly objective o! 100,000 par- cels. O! this amount the Cana- dian Red Cross donates 30,000 weekly for prisoners in Europe, the remainder being paid for by the British and Australian Red 1Cross Societies. Provision also bas to be made for food, drugs and other supplies for Canadian prisoners in the Far East. These two objectives alone will require $5,500,000 during 1943. "During the Past year hundreds o! thousands o! women in ail parts o! Canada bave worked faitbfully 1and unremittingiy to supply the Red Cross witb the materials that it needs to take care o! the re- quirements o! Canadian soldiers bere and overseas and to look after the necds o! the sick and the suf!ering among the bombed- out Population o! Britain, and to 1prepare for wbatever eventuality may befail Canada itself," the 1statement continued. A new phase o! the Society's work bas been the provision o! 1aid and relie! for the stricken peoples o! the United Nations," the statement added. "Food, cioth- ing and drugs bave been sent to Russia, China, Greece, Poiand and comforts, ambulances and other [supplies given to tac armed forces o! the Allies. . "The work o! the Society bas tack are better in bed until the fever bas gone. It is advisable to keep tbe moutb dlean witb some simple moutb-wasb as boracic lotion, in order to prevent suppuration o! the inflamed glands. Externally, bot applications (better moist beat), camphorated oil or belladonna ointment are used to relieve pain. There is no toxoid preventativc for mumps. The oniy prevention for others is tac strict isolation o! the a!flicted ones until ail the swelling bas subsided.

Tbe deceased was born at Haydon and was the son of Mr. John Wrigbt and the late Mrs. Wright, lifelong residents of tbe district. He is survived by bis wi!e and two cbildren, Bruce and Pbyilis.
