THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Wednesday, September 8, 193^ « • /' PRICEVILLE Rev. Dr. Coburn of Toronto preach- ed in St. Columba United church on Sunday morning and in St. Andrew's Presbyterian church in the evening, on behalf of the Ontario Temperance Federation, showing forth the devas- tating, influence of alcohol for evil and the steps taken by the brewers to fur- ther their ends, and the apparent in- fluence they have in dominating either political party. The attendance at either service was scanty enough, the precaution taken against the spread of infantile paralysis no doubt having its influence. We won't attempt the medical term of the trouble. While here Dr. Coburn was entertained by the Misses James. We are sorry to see the departure of two other fine young ladies from our midst, fine voiced members of the choir. Misses Anna McLean and Jean McArthur, to further advance their education at the Canada Business â- College. A very laudable daiirs. Beat wishes go with them.

Throw Away The Tweezer* The press reports that septical in- fection, brought about by plucking her eyebrows, caused the death of Mrs. Kathryn Williams Veiuoon, aged 22, at St. Luke's hospital in Denver last week. This is the third such 'death to be reported in the past four months and should give pause to the ladies of Flesherton who are wont to beautify ( ? ) themselves by plucking their eye- brows down to a thin pencil line. T'is said that this business of thinning out the brows is an old one, often-times used by the Indians. But their pur- pose was a different one â€" they did it 30 they could, by donning outlandish attire, masquerade as various "devils'' to frighten away the enemies. MALE VS FE.MALE Some folk will tell you that the female is more deadly than the male. But traffic accident records of the De- partment of Highways does not bear this out, by any means. In* fatal accidents last year. 94 per cent of the drivers were men; and in non-fatal accidents 93.3 per cent of the drivers were men. Although these figures do not show the relative number of male and fe- male drivers, still, it refutes the old adage. But regardless of such an old and silly legend, if .A.LL drivers, men and women, would make up their minds that highway deaths must stop, there would be mighty few motor accidents. NEW ROAD WILL MISS FA.MED "DEVIL'S GLEN- Work has commenced on th« stretch of road running W^tween Shelbum* and Stayner, taken over by the De- partment of Highways as a provincial road. The road has been scarified and is being given a treatment of cal- cium chloride in front of residences along the highway. Instead of following the old road from .Singhampton around the "Devil'a Glen'' it continues up the town line between N'ottawasaga and Osprey to the Duntroon sideroad, then straight east to meet Highway No. 2tj at Stay- ner. Some deep cuts will be necess- ary through the limestone hills west of Duntroon. IT'S NO RIDDLE It seems a riddle that most acci- dents occur when the driver is going straight ahead. It isn't a riddle at all. Can you solve it? Here's tha elue: That's the only time when th* driver can really "step on the gas." Last year, in 628 accidents in whicli people were killed, 5|ei cars wm« "going straight," and so were 8,098 of the cars involved in 10,438 non- fatal accidents. Highway deaths can be eliminated if drivers will mix brains, as well as air, with their gasoline. ''Thou shalt not kill.'' fully. Drive care- Theie's no speed limit in the strat- osphere. Pisler's comet recently was timed at a speed of 400.000 miles an hour. The air over the Atlantic is in dan- ger of being fairly cluttered up with air machines. Four more survey flights are being planned. New Fall Millinery Opening SEPTEMBER 11 .\11 the newest styles on display at Mrs. Miller's millinery parlor on Sept. 1 1 and following' days.

This serum is obtained from persons who have previously suffered from an attack of "infantile paralysis". In anticipation of further requirements the Department now renuests that persons who are willing to provide blood for this purpose (donors) register with the medical officer of health in their district. The Department remunerates donors on the basis of Ten Dollars for 100 cubic centimeters; the usual amount withdrawn from one donor is 200 cubic centimeters. This can be readily obtained without discomfort or ill effects to the donor. Children under fourteen years of ape are not eligible. Persons who have suffered an attack of the disease during the present year are also not eligible. Those persons fourteen years of age and over who have suffered an attack within the past twenty-five years and who show some definite evidence of resulting paralysis, are requested to provide the medical officer of health with their name and address. Those who have already acted as donors need not register again. When a clinic is to be held, donors will be notified through their medical officer of health. f>f> ^iINISTER OF HEALTH H-2 1
