AUGH1NBAUGH, M.D.HOSPITALSThe first hospital ever built and conducted for thebenefit of sick men and women was erected in theIsland of Ceylon, in the year 161 B.C. Later on a pious man in Ceylon, named Duttha Gamani, built and maintained during his life eighteen similar insti­ tutions where “those sick of body and soul might come for comfort and medicine prepared by phys­ icians.” Later a Persian King sent his personal physician to Ceylon and to India to study hospitals and the treat­ ment of the ill. When this man returned, he brought with him the game known as chess, which originated in India, and which, strange to say was always used in the treatment of certain types of nervousness. Indeed, the Hindus were the first physicians to practice plastic surgery and the surgeon of the days before Christ employed approximately 200 instru­ ments for the performance of operations. .A Buddhist King named Asoka, erected hospitals not only 'for hu­ man beings, but also for animals and birds. Gradually the erection of hospitals for the caring of the sick extended into Turkey, Greece and Rome, Greece becoming famous for its numerous well-equip­ ped, sanitary hospitals, with running water for baths and toilets. Prior to the building of the houses for the diseased, it was the custom to kill those whom it was thought impossible to cure. Later, as Europe progressed and more hospitals were built, it was difficult to get phy­ sicians to practice in them, and the caretakers were forced to do whatever they could for the inmates. Then in 400 A.D. in Rome, a hospital especially built’for the care of the sick, equipped with beds and attending physicians and surgeons, w’as formally opened and in 500 A.D., the City of Lyons, France, did the same thing. Charlemagne became active in relieving the sick and distressed and when he issued a permit to build a convent or a monastery, made it obligatory on the order erecting the same, to support and provide medi­ cal care for the poor, the infirm and the stranger. In imitation of Charlemagne’s generosity, the wealthy, x as ah act of piety made donations to these institu­ tions and erected many similar ones throughout Europe. The Mohammedans, not to be outdone by their Christian neighbors, opened what at that time was the greatest and most perfect hospital in the world, at Constantinople. As the Renaissance advanced all the states of Eur­ ope, constructed hospitals, Italy leading, followed closely by Germany. Venice established the first hos­ pital devoted to the treatment of contagious diseases exclusively. * “AS A WOMAN SEES IT”— By Arabella —The Religion of Democracy President Roosevelt called the attention of the people of the world who listened to him in one of his recent radio talks, to the essential and unchangeable difference between democracy and the- totalitarian forms of government, whether those are called Com­ munism, Fascism or Nazism. That difference, reduced to the simplest terms is that democracy alone of all of them is founded upon re­ ligion. If that is not instantly clear, consider it for a moment. We who believe in religion believe that all men are equal in the sight of God and that every human soul is capable of choice, of reason, of developing and perfecting himself in the image of the Divine ideal. sp'Jn that belief was our democracy founded, and in * nat belief it miist persist, or it will perish. The philosophy of Communism is that man is the product of economic forces. The Nazi doctrine is that the only people entitled to exist in the state are those of a particular bjood strain. Totally different is the democratic philosophy that every human being partakes in some measure of Divinity and that the goal of his life, is not to live and labor and die under the lash of authority, but to strive for self-perfection.In a society so organized on the democratic philos­ ophy, the final authority, is the moral principles based apon the Ten Commandments of Judaism and the Golden Rule in which'Jesus summarized the law and the teaching of the prophets. As someone has said, men must be governed by God or they will be governed by tyrants. It is no wonder that in nations such as Germany, Japan. Italy and Russia, where the exactly opposite view rules, official spokesmen denounce such speeches as that of the U. S. President as significant of hos­ tility to themselves. One thing Canada is not hostile to the people of any nation in the world. But many of our citizens are definitely hostile to the ideas and principles upon which many nations are being governed today, and to the false prophets who have led their people into subservience. County Council “Solid” Legislative Body There are few honours’that can come to any man, who devotes a portion of his time to public service that are much greater than the wardenship of a county, states The Kingston Whig-Standard editor­ ially. There are honours that are more spectacular and receive^ wider publicity. A wardenship, for ex­ ample, is not sufficient in itself to secure a listing in any “Who’s Who,” and the names of wardens are not widely known outside their own counties. Neverthe­ less, the office confers upon the occupant a prestige in his own community that might well be the envy of many a national political leader. It is not difficult to understand the reason. County councils are among the most “solid” of all the Canad­ ian legislative bodies. Men who serve upon them are usually county councillors because of their personal good qualities rather than their ability to make any very sensational appeal to the electors. In the normal process by which a man becomes a warden, he is elected first as a councillor in his own township. Those who elect him are neighbours who know him well and have probably known him all his life. If he proves to be a good township councillor during the number of years service in this capacity, he is elected reeve or deputy reeve of his township. Not until then is lie entitled to sit on the county council. Several years around Jthe county council horse-shoe follow, and at lasfwaving gained experience, and if he has the qualities which command the respect of his fellow’ county councillors, he is elected warden. The process is a thoroughly democratic one, yet it has no exact parallel in any other division of govern­ ment in Canada. If the party system in national and provincial politics were ever to break down, some ad­ aptation of the system whereby county councillors and wardens of county councils are selected would have to take its place if democracy were to continue.

Itseems as if the law is unable to cope with his unscrupulous practices, so it is up to individuals to protect themselves. It is a safe rule never to do busi­ ness with strangers at the door. That means appearing hard-hearted at times, for their powers of per­ suasion, are not only strong, but sometimes ' very charming as well. In fact it might be said of them as Bismark said of himself, that he al­ ways used the truth in diplomacy. But it is well to remember that virtue and charm do not always go hand in hand. In fact some people pre so polished they are slippery. Trustfulness is no protection against them, for they are not over­ burdened with high principles, which would curb their enterprise too much for their own comfort even though it is difficult for some people to think of human beings descending to such practices. Sir Gerald Camp­ bell, in a recent broadcast, said that after years of travelling about the world, and contact with many people, he felt that the good people were not nearly as good as they thought them­ selves, and many of the bad ones were far worse than most people suspect. So it looks as if people are going to be swindled until they match wits with the swindler. A near relation of the cheque ar­ tist is the counterfeiter, to whose trade unsuspecting people contribute millions of dollars every year, in spite of the fact that experts declare most spurious money could be de­ tected by anybody. A frequent practice of counterfeiters is to raise the denomination of bills, which can be detected by running a mois­ tened fingdr over the figures, for they will become blurred if done by ink. Another-means qf protection for the individual is to become fam­ iliar with the appearance of proper­ ly minted coins and engraved bills, such as to know the scenes and pic- ture? which appear on the different denominations. Then, if counter­ feit, it will sometimes be found that figures do lie. For if the figure 10 is found on a bill with a picture belonging to a one dollar bill, it is clear that the counterfeiter has been at work. In the same way, one should learn to distinguish the real and spurious in coins, perhaps not go easily done, for it is possible to make fairly good imitations of both silver and gold. But a little practice will teach one. Especially if they notice the quality of work­ manship, and the ring of the metal. It is well for Canadians to know the marks of genuine United States money, as well as their own, for a good deal of it circulates in our country. The counterfeiter might lack principle, but he does not lack ♦brains, and his products are some­ times marvels of ingenuity. However, marvels or not, they are valueless in the markets of the world, and are to be avoided. “Postalizing” The Railroads The plan put 'forward by a former Unite.d States senator, for “postalizing” railroad" transportation, is said to be receiving serious consideration amdng rail­ road men. The idea, briefly, is to charge a flat rate for a passenger fare over a distance of, say, a thousand miles, twice as much for 2,000 miles, etc. Senator John A. Hastings’ idea is that it would pay the rail­ roads to carry full loads of passengers between Mon­ treal and Winnipeg, or Winnipeg and Edmonton, or Edmonton and Vancouver, for a dollar ji head. The same rate would apply to passengers who got on and off anywhere along the line. If it pays to carry a letter anywhere for three cents, whether to the next town or the other end of the continent, why can’t the same idea work with passengers? They are easier to handle than letters, because they load and unload themselves and don’t . have to be stamped and postmarked. .— The railroads havb already discovered that re­ duced passenger, fares increase revenues. They made mor? money while. the two-cents-a mile rate was in effect- than they have made since it was raised to 2’6 cents. They have learned that the cost of hauling a passenger does not depend directly on the number of miles ^travelled. If the train is going through, it can carfy Excess passengers without any appreciable extra (cost. Without going into figures, it seems there is some­ thing? in thb Hasting idea. It would at least enablemen locking for a job or going t<Ka.new one to travel 1 farther and cheaper. > * -----*----- Recently released" figures show that during 1938 ten morning papers and twenty-two evening papers ceased to exist in the United States while weekly papers increased by ninety-nine. A former idea that the dailies would gradually eliminate the weeklies has not proved to be the case for the simple reason that every community of sufficient size likes to have its home publication.—(Brantford Expositor.)

HOUSE and HOME — by Mary E. “Dague — Author of Sister Mary’s , Kitchen Winter days mean constant clean ing and “touching up” of house­ furnishings, but we like to do it the easiest and quickest way. Grimy and dull-looking Venetian blinds can be made fresh and new- looking if you go over them with a cloth dampened in water to which 1 tea^poonful of glycerine has been added. This same treatment will brighten up parchment shades. The tops of car tables that have been stained and perhaps scorched a hit will respond to a sponging with a glycerine solution. For this solu- t>on add a teaspoonful of glycerine to a cup of warm water and rub the table top well with the mixture. Then go over the surface with a cloth dipped in a dry-cleaning fluid. Next tub the top lightly with a cloth mois­ tened with pure glycerine and finish up with a clean dry cloth. Now we can begin bringing in branches of the various spring flow­ ering shrubs like’Forsythia, to force them into bloom in the house. You may have forgotten that these shrubs need several sharp freezes find two or three months of actual dormancy before they will’respond. That is why we wait until late winter to bring them in. Cut the branches cleanly and keep the cut ends in plenty of fresh water. As a precaution against the buds drying out before they can open, it’s a good idea to spray both the stems and buds once a day for the first coupleof weeks.The excessively dry atmosphere ofthe average house is most unnaturalfor the buds and extra care must betaken to prevent them from blight­ing.The other day I saw a gadget thatappealed to me as a valuable access­ory on ironing day. A steel frame with edges turned up on three sides to hold the iron is firmly attached with screws to the bottom of the ironing board, thus leaving all the board for actual ironing. There’s no danger of scorching the ironing pad as we so often do when we let a hot iron rest for a few seconds and there’s no crowding of garments against a hot iron, either.• • • • Pleats and many gores are the fashion forecast for spring skirts and while they are predicted to be short, the length is arbitrary and should be determined by its becomingness to ‘you. Young girls can wear skirts fourteen inches from the floor but every woman will find that she will have to choose the length best suited to her individually. One-fifth to one- sixth of one’s height is a good rule to follow. TODAY and TOMORROW by Frank Barker Stockbridge FIGURES .... science ROPE .... treasure* After being tied to the surface of the earth for countless ages, man kind has begun in the past few years to explore both the heights above and the depths beneath. We fly high above land and sea with the ease of the birds and at far greater speed. In submarine boats we swim under water like a fish. There are still higher heights and deeper depths about which we know nothing. While one group of scientists expires the stratosphere in balloons, another group is trying to discover what lies at the hottom of the ocean’s deepest valleys. The Carnegie Institution of Wash­ ington has made a steel rope seven miles long, with whehi its explorers are bringing up specimens from the bed of the sea. One of the most interesting discov­ eries so far made is that there are greater concentrations of radium far I down under the ocean than have yet been found on dry land. Since every river has been depos­ iting the minerals washed down from the hills into the sea for millions of years, it is probable that the greatest store of treasure on earth lies miles under water. Whether much of It can ever be recovered is a problem to which there is as yet no answer. J E W S ......................................service In awarding the American Hebrew Medal for 1938 to President Roose­ velt for the most outstanding service of the year in promoting better un­ derstanding between Jews and Christians, the committee of eminent citizens and churchmen of all creeds said they selected Mr. Roosevelt. “They selected him because by all his words and actions since he has been in the public service he has pro­ moted better understanding among all races and creeds; because in the past year he took the initiative at every crisis in Jewish affairs and did everything in his power to bring about a humane solution; because he was responsible for the Evian Conference for aiding refugees of Central Europe.” /“ Nothing so sharply marks the dif--' ference between the concept of democracy as we hold it and the au­ tocratic governments of Europe, than the complete absence of discrim­ ination against Jews in public office or industrial and business leadership which exists in this country. There is still too much of the ancient prejudice inherited from old European traditions. It showed itself when protests were made against the appointment of an eminent Jew to a seat on the Supreme Court bench, vacated by the death of another great Jewish jurist. There Is no place for racial or religious prejudice in a democracy, and neither United States democracy nor that of> Great Britain tolerates discrimination against Jews. LUMBER . submerged • To many a New England farmer the stand of white pine timber in his woodlot is an important if not his chief source of cash income. The hurricane which .devastated the northeastern states last Fall blew down trees which would have been worth to their owners more then 20 million dollars. Eight times as much timber is lying on the ground as would have been cut in a normal year. The double problem which the people of New England and the Uni­ ted States Forest Service are trying TELEPHONE TALKS IN THE WATSON FAMILY no Distant Relatives Not that the Watson family is so small. On the contrary, there are uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces and so on, scattered across the Dominion. But they never lose track of each other. Long Distance brings them together again on many anniversary and special occasions throughout the year ... at surprisingly little cost. U Reductions in telephone rates—local and longI distance — in 1935, ’3C and ’37 hate effectedI savings to telephone users in Ontario and |l Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly. to solve is, first how to prevent dis­ astrous fires from destroying the fal­ len timber and spreading^to standing timber; and second, how to keep the fallen timber from rotting before it can be marketed over the next few years. The best answer^ timber experts say is to get the logs under water as quickly as possible. Pine logs will last for years under water, where they would rot on the surface in a year or two. So all over the devast­ ated sections of New England farm­ ers are, sledding logs to the ’nearest ponds, and the Government is lend­ ing them up to 80 per cent, of the timber value as soon as the logs are safely under water. FL Y IN G .......................................job* If the present plans for enlarging the air forces of the American Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard are carried out, there will be a greater demand for competent flyers than there are young men to take the new jobs, by the time the new planes are ready for service. The plan proposed, to include aviation in college Reserve Officers Training Corps courses, ought to de­ velop a large number of new young flyers in a year or two. At present there are fewer than The 1938 Aftnfial Report Reveals Another Year of Substantial Progress: Insurance in Force Assets Policy Reserves- • Surplus for Protec­ tion of Policyholders New Insurance Paid for and Revived -Increased to -A gain of 24.77% over 1937 - CHARLES P.

DUNN Branch Manager LONDON DISTRICT 2,000 Army flyers in active service in the United States. Their navy has a few more, but both services have nowhere near enough to man the 10,000 or more fighting planes which win be put into service before long. The same applies also to Canada. And there is even a greater short­ age of skilled airplane mechanics. It takes three men on the ground servicing planes, for every flyer in the air. It looks to me as if a great op­ portunity was opening for young men w^io want to fly—as most of them do—or to qualify themselves for good jobs as expert airplane mechanics. The commercial air lines are expanding almost as fast a« the military flying services, and are learning that it is easier and quicker to build planes than it is to train competent men to fly them.

She goes to their address,finds that they are destitute, have soldall of their furniture, have no coal,b.r mother lx silk and her father hasno job. Her sister treats her like anenemv and resents her offer of help,but finally after many explanations,agrees to take money to buy coal andfood In order to stive her mother s life. But it isn’t her money now' It ismine' And I am going to look after my family. We are going to do ittogether! Quick!

"You keep that I’ve more in my purse. Youmight have some need for it whileI’m gone. Don’t worry, I’ll find my way. But say. what shall I cill you?I can’t exactly ro around calling my own sister 'Miss Gay,’ can I? Andyou know I never knew your name." The other girl stared."You don't mean they never toldyou your own sister’s name? Well, that certainly is funny! I'm Eliza­beth* They call me Betty." Her voice was a trifle warmer. ing how sick upstairs 1 It was toodreadful I ...Arrived breathless at the diminutivedrugstore she found to her joy thatthey had a soda fountain and served soup or coffee with sandwiches. Therewas hot coffee and there was hot toma­to soup, that is, it wasn’t hot yet but the man said he could heat them bothin a jiffv. And he had just two ther­mos bottles left. He hadn’t had such a large order in weeks.While he was getting them readyMarjorie hurried across the street tothe grocery and bought two basketsbig enough to carry her purchases, and also a dozen oranges, a loaf ofbread, a pound of butter and a pound of sliced ham.Back at the drugstore she added aquart full of milk to her other pur­ chases and started hack to the house.Arrived at the house she found thefront door unlatched, but her father was no longer sitting on the stairs,and she heard sounds from the cellar.Betty came hurrying up the cellarstairs as she came out to the kitchen,a long streak of soot on one white cheek and her eyes wide and worried."He would go down and start thefire.” she said in distressed voice. “I couldn't do anything with him.” Hervoice was almost like a sob. "He al­ways thinks a woman has to be waitedon, but he's had another dizzy spelland he's sitting on the cellar stairs now. Did you get anything?” "Yes,” said Marjorie eagerly. "I brought hot soup and coffee, and here’ssome aromatic ammonia. Perhaps that will help too. And here. I have twohot-water bags nice and hot. Takeone down and put it on his lap. Haven’t you got a flannel or bit of old some­thing to wrap it in? He ought to get warm right away.”"Oh. you’re great!" said Betty andthe tears were rolling down her cheeks, tears of relief."That’s a pretty name. BettyGay! 1 like it. And—I'm Dorothy—is ok that it? The letter told meth”’ "Yes, but they call you Marjorie!"Betty’s voice Was suddenly hard again"Well, I couldn’t help that either,” grinned Marjorie. “Say. sup­pose you stop having grudges awhile."Betty suddenly softened againand almost smiled, and Marjorie* saw that her eyes were really lovelywhen she smiled."I’m sorry!" said Betty. "I guess She snatched a nicked cup from the shelf and poured out coffee and witha hot-water bag under her arm hur­ried down cellar again. Marjorie hunted around and foundplates and more cups and a knife,, and cut some Slices of bread, butteringthem and putting ham between them. When Betty came back upstairs shehad a plateful of nice sandwiches readyfor her. and a cup of coffee. "Take a swallow of this.” said Mar­jorie holding out a cup of coffee, "and take this sandwich in your hand.You'll be sick next if you don’t lookout.” we hadn’t the money to pay him. ButFather is almost crazy about It. Ithink we ought to have him come justonce, anyway, don’t you?"“I certainly dol" said Marjorie."Where is he? I'll get him before Ido anything else.”Betty gave the name and address. "He’s supposed to be a good doctor.1 guess his prices are rather high?” she said sorrowfully."What difference docs that makersaid Marjorie. “We want the bestthere is. I’ll send him as soon as Ican, and you'd better make him pre­scribe for Father too. I’ll tell him about it, and you make him. And,where do I talk to the gas people toget that gas turned on? We want to be able to cook some real dinner to­ night I”“Oh !’’ said Betty quick tears sting­ing into her eyes. "You are going to- be wonderful, aren't you!”"No,” said Marjorie smiling. ' I mjust going to be one of the family, andtry to make up for lost time. Doesthe water bill need looking after, too?We can't have that shut off. And what about electric light?”"Oh!” cried Betty softly, sinking down on the lower step of the stairs,“you'll use all your money up!""Well," said Marjorie happily, “that’s what money is for, isn’t it?To be used up?" "You’re really real, aren’t you?" saidBetty, "I can scarcely believe it.”"What did you think. I was. a spirit? Here, write those addressesquick. I want to get things started and get back to help."She handed her sister a little note book and pencil from her handbag.“You’ll be sorry you ever came nearus," said Betty sadly, "having to spend all this money and go all these er­ rands.”"I’m already glad I came," said Mar­jorie, "and it Mother and Father get well, and you don’t get sick. I'd sayI'm having the time of my life. It makes me greatly happy to lie ableto help and I only wish I'd known before that you had all this suffering.And me uith plenty?'Then although she was almost chok­ ing with tears, she gave a bright smileand hurried away on her errands. She betook herself to the drugstorewhere was a telephone booth and did the doctor, the coal, the gas. and elec­tric light by telephone, and her crispyoung voice, accustomed as it was to giving orders that were always prompt­ly obeyed, brought courteous service. I‘ve been pretty poisonous to you. But maybe if you'd been here andseen your people you loved suffer, you’d be poi^mous too.""I’m sure I should!" said Mar­jorie with a sudden quick setting of her lips. “I'm quite sure I wouldfeel just as you feel. And now let’s forget it till we get this place com­fortable for you all."Marjorie turned and put her hand out to open the door, but before shequite touched it someone fumbledat the knob from the outside, thedoor was suddenly flung open witha bang letting in a rush of cold air, and someone stumbled ipto the hallbearing a heavy burden. Marjorie stepped back startled, star­ing at the tall man carrying a heavy­sack of coal upon his back and another• of small pieces of wood in his arms.But Betty rushed forward and put up her arms to take one bag from him."Oh. Father!” she cried.’ "where have you been? How did you get it?”And then, giving him a quick search­ing look, "Where is your overcoat, Father? Oh, you didn't sell your over­coat, did you? Your nice overcoat?Oh, Father, and you are sick!""It couldn’t«JMHicl[xd. Betty," saidthe man in a Hoarse voice. "I had toget this house warm somehow for yourmother. I couldn't let her freeze todeath!" There was something warmand tender in his voice that broughtthe tears to Marjorie’s eyes and agreat rush of love for her Unknownfather to her heart. Then the man suddenly dropped thebag from his back to the floor, puthis hands up to his head with a be­ wildered look, and staggered over tothe stairs."Father! Oh, Father! What is it?"cried Betty rushing over to him.“Oh. it s nothing!" murmured the man with an effort. “Just a little dizzy,that’s all. I’ll be all right in a min­ute!” "You had no breakfast! That’s whatmakes it!” cried the girl in deepdistress. That picture of her father sittingon the stairs, his head bowed in hishands, would stay with her always,she knew. “1'11 get you a drink of water!”Betty was saying. “Thank fortune,they haven’t turned off the water yet!” and she vanished through the door intothe kitchen. Marjorie saw there was a door fromthe little ‘parlor where she stood and opening it she followed hnd found hersister as she brought back the water."I’ll get him something to eat right away," she whispered. “Is there a res­taurant or any place nearby where they have food?”.."Only the drugstore.

Not only is the omeletbeautifully browned, but it is muchlighter and finer, so that it can beeasily rolled. Those recipes that call for thewhite of an egg only are ratherexpensive. One woman suggeststhat instead of breaking the shellas usual, make a hole with a largeneedle at one end to drain awaythe white. Then cover the holewith a tiny piece of gummedpaper or close it by just smearinga little of the white over it.

M. S. of St. Paul’s Presby­terian Church was held in the churchparlors with the president, Mrs. A.Yule in charge of the devotional ex­ercises. Mrs. A. O. Parker gave theGlad Tidirtgs prayer and interestinglitters were read from native work­ers in Jhansi, India. The highlight of the meeting was the particularly splendid report of the Paris Presbyterial Annual Meet­ ing, held recently in Brantford. This full account which delighted the members was prepared by Mrs. W. L Nagle and read by Mrs. A. Branch. A number of reports of committees were also presented. A most gratifying attendancemarked the holding of the thirdannual Education Night at the localcollegiate. Soon after seven, par­ents and others began to arrive, andafter signing the visitors’ book, madea tour of the classrooms to observethe colorful displays of student work. Each form by an adept use of tal­ ent, transformed blackboards into picturesque settings—ancient Rom­ ans in armor and white togas, routes of early explorers, pioneer homes in Ontario, growth of Canada, the home of seignieur, an old spinning wheel—these and many othor illus­ trations from the subjects of study engaged the attention of parents. Added to these were admirably done projects in geography showing the story of wheat, the story of rubber, art work in the * form of posters, masques and soap carving, notebooks in business practice and bookkeep­ ing, science and history—all com­ bined to show the new interest and the new methods of study, in school to-day. The evening was formally opened by the playing of God Save the King over the sound system and an address by Principal C. L. Bole. Mr. Bole welcomed the parents on behalf of teachers and students, and pointed out the excellent record of the graduates of the Collegiate but indicated that the pupils now in at­ tendance must exert greater effort to maintain its record.

Following the demonstrations in the gymnasium, the visitors returned to thp school to hear a talk by the chairman of the Board of Education, J. Ferris David. In his talk, Mr. David outlined the new course of study as it wi\s applied to our schools—spoke of the trend towards greater pupil activity and the in­ creased interest in the subjects of the curriculum. Referring to the in­ spector’s report which he had just received, Mr. David pointed out the good character of the teaching, the DR. J. M.

Robb, former OntarioMinister of Health, now organizerfor the National Conservative Partywith officials from London and Con­servative workers from Tillsonburg and Woodstock, made up the gather­ ing.Dr. Robb briefly addressed the gathering in an informal way. Much of the evening was taken up in a “question and answer period," in which Dr. Robb answered questions put to him by members of the audi­ ence. W. R. Marshall presided as chair­ man. W. A. Calder of Woodstock, president of the Oxford County As­ sociation, introduced Dr. Robb. Dr. Robb surveyed the present standing of political parties as a whole, with special reference to the Conservative angle. He said that the Liberals were losing ground in the West, but frankly stated that he could not see the Conservatives win­ ning that ground. This was because of the fact that C.C.F. and other par- 150 to $500 HOUSEHOLDLOANSwithout comaker* or guonntoriRates authorized by SpecialAct of Dominion Parliament.No credit enquiries of relativesor neighbors.

He instructed his workers that they should be organized and have a good candidate in the field as early as possible so that they would be in full preparedness for an elect­ ion in September or October. He stated there were indications an election might be held at that time, but explained further it might not materialize until next year.
