AN INTERESTING ADDRESS At the Young Men's Bible Class social evening on Monday last, Dr. G. 8. Jeffrey, gave a very interesting and informative address on "The Progress Years." = Life expectancy has been greatly increased during recent years. Contagious diseases have been rend- ered much less dangerous through the discovery of anti-toxins. In the days before the discovery of these anti- toxins the death rate from such dis- eases as smallpox was very high, par- ticularly among children. Nowadays deaths from such diseases as small- pox, diphtheria, and typhoid fever are comparatively rare, In the matter of tuberculosis and diabetes, while no actual cures have been discovered, yet there have been found means of pro- longing the life of the sufferer from these diseases in comparative comfort. The young men expressed their keen appreciation of the nature of Dr. Jeffrey's address. WORK WANTED Young woman would like any kind of house-work by day, week, or month, sleep in or out.

The value as a season of quiet and self cultivation is being increasingly recognized in these days] of many engagements. Could we not make a contffiued effort to keep these two last weeks--usually known as Passion week and Holy week? We would suggest that all entertainments and social gatherings be put to one- gide that we do some useful reading and thinking, that we. attend our church services, week-nights as well us Sundays. If we were to do this Easter would have a deeper meaning' music and anthems, but of deepening our belief in the Risen Lord. "And when, after Easter, we resume our usual round of meetings and enter- tainments for all kinds of good pur- poses, we shall do so with fresh energy and a new spirit. It is only a suggestion, but perhaps merits some consideration and might be of benefit to us. ~--Correspondent. SCUGOG The Island Sunday Schools were well repr ted at the Sunday School Convention in Port Perry last Wed- nesday. Our young men's choir sang "I'll Make My Life to Tell for Jesus" which was very much enjoyed. The blizzard of Monday has taken away the spring-like appearance. It was the seventh of March last year that the big snow storm visited us. I wonder if it is to be an annual af- fair? But spring is coming. Our friends the crows are here, also the blue birds, as well as several other spring birds. Congratulations to Mr, and Mrs. M. Collins, on the birth of another little daughter.

RURAL HOCKEY On Tuesday evening the Rural Hockey fans were given the thrill of their bert in the Port Perry Arena to de- cide who should be the winners of 'group A and B. Greenbank were ful in com- ing out on top, but not without a hard fight, because Wee Willie Heayn backed up by Bold Bad Ben Smith are sure a tough pair. Greenbank succeeded in scoring the first goal when the puck was passed out from the corner and scooped in by a man without even asking goaltender Lyle's permission. ,Greenbank were able to keep the -lead no matter how many goals were scored, for when Prince Albert d lives, when Greenbank met Prince Al- Port Perry with a score of 3-2. Even though Port Perry won they certainly had to fight for it, for with Tiny Tim Beare and Two Gun Roach on the wings it kept Port busy to hold them in check.

Prince Albert were unfortunate to have some of their star players sick, and so Greenbank did not get the hard shell fire that the other teams re- ceived.

Couldery, Manager To the condition then where vision is weak and muscular conditions of the eyes not in order, waste energy is always created. It is readily seen that any strain in the system is a strain on the eyes and it is also a direct strain on the eyes and eye muscles to be exposed to glare, mov- ing traffic, constant fixation. Wasted energy is nerve weakening, discouraging and is a means of lower- ing efficiency. What does efficiency mean to you or your employer ? To you it affects your pay envelope and hope of future promotion and success. To the employer this inefficiency of his staff will mean poorer and slower production during the time spent. In- accuracy and poorer production, danger to tools and meShitery and danger of life.
