The meeting opened in the usual way by repeating the W.I. ode; Mrs. `Singer, president of the branch, I] cordially welcomed the visitors, In-| cluding several old ladies from the I Ardlagh home, who were accompau- . ied by the matron, Miss McDonald. 1 A paper hat contest, games and a E reading by Miss Shouldice were en- joyable features of the program, while the visit of two witches, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Singer, who dis- played many wonderful feats of . Witchcraft, was productive of much . merriment. A dance was contrr . buted by little Miss Love and `then . with the jingle of bells, Santa Claus : arrived, pack and all. Mrs. Weldon ` gave a very jolly impersonation of . Father Christmas and delighted every one with her recital of the Night before Christmas. Gifts to ' the old lady guests were distributed from Santa s bag, and also a special , little gift for Mrs. Singer, which proved to be one of Mrs. Weldon : own paintings. Drawing for the pudding resulted in Miss McDonald, ` of the Ardagh Home, holding the lu y number. The meeting closed with the singing of ``Auld Lang Syne and God Save the King," after which tea was served. SYIHPLUHIS lllilrllll} LIlCU1SClVCB When the expectant mother is under `the regular supervision of her 3 doctor he can detect any abnormal condition from the start, and he can, by proper treatment, prevent the (levelopmen-L of any serious condi- tion. "l`L\(. h` Ann u-nu.-nu -nu] H ;-lannhl U011. 1This is one reason--and it should be a sufficient one--why every ex- upeetant mother should have pre- natal cure. By prenatal care, we mean that, throughout her preg- nancy, from the earliest mo:1t`hs, she should be seen by her doctor :11 1'eg`ulz1r intervals; once 21. month :2`. r;~:t, and twice 2: month (luring the latter part of hm` `pregnancy. Prenatal care is preventive care. tlt allows, as we have pointed out, for the early discovery and proper treatment of abnormal conditions. It also makes for a more comfort- able pregnancy, if the woman fol- lows the advice which the doctor gives her. Wnmon are nffnn fnlrl that Hm g'l\'(.`S H01`. Women are often told that the l `i1)1'ocre.'~';s of childbirth is a normal Xfunction, and that they should not iconsider tln-mselves as being any- vthing` bu-t normal during that period. _l~'l`l1is is all true, but it does not fol- ilow that in the performance of a 'normal body function medical help and guidance are not needed. li`.n.linrr is :1 normal m'nce::s. which {UNI g'lll(lZl.Y1CC ill'C IIOL Il@L`(1C(l. Eating is 21 normal process, which ` we carry through several times ix -` (lay, and yet we know that most ` people need to be helped by follow- ' inf: some intelligent direction as to ` the selection of their foods. Diges- tion is a normal function of the body which usually goes on without l our being aware that it is taking `place; yet, once in :1 while, the di- gestive process g`ets..out of order and `then we need medical help.

We would say to expectant moth- ers that it is quite right for them to consider `their condition as being normal, but that they should not for- get that what they want to do is lto keep normal. The best way to maintain the normal condition and to prevent any serious abnormality is through the prenatal care which the family doctor gives. SUCH A SPLENDID IDEA EXPECTANT MOTHE.RS v -------------- -- k'b" `'````I By way of further explanation o1 conditions complained of in the re- port, Councillor Rogers said that as far as the county gaol was concern- . ed, things were more sanitary there - at the present time than they hadl ever been. The beds, which came in for much criticism, were the kino - approved by the department. Mat- ; tresses, which were vermin breed- - ers, had been done away with, and , heavy blankets, which could be pm : through a solution periodically and i kept sanitary, had replaced them. As a matter of fact, the beds were a whole lot better than they were before the change was made, ac- cording to Councillor l\IcKni*g`h.t. Registered Pro-test opportunity aiforded by a lull in the proceedings to draw attention to ? the reports appearing in the local 1 press regarding his suggestion thar ' the council shorten its session in the ` interests of economy and the re- * mark made in the council when a = day s leave of absence was movco on his behalf.

During the afternoon Mayor Johnson, of Orillia, who was a spectator, was invited to the dais by Warden T-om and addressed the council briey.
