Page 91 May 1952 AN ORANGEVILLE LANDMARK (cont.) air raid, Air Raid Wardens were appointed to cover the town. Boys were trained as Messengers,, At the completion of this course, both Wardens and Messengers were awarded the official emblems of the ".Citizens' Protective Corp" of the Warsaw-Orangeville District. The Wardens' arm bands were white centered by a red and white striped triangle. The Messengers' emblems were of the same format except that a red zigzag line in a white triangle adorned the center. Dairymen's League entertainments as well as business meetings had been held in the Town Hall since the time the Orangeville local was formed over thirty years ago. These meetings usually featured a guest speaker, movies, discussions, hot suppers and dancing. Many young folks have been given a good send-off in their marital ventures with kitchen and variety showers, well attended by the town's well-wishers. Perhaps it was the practical thing to do to discontinue using the old church as a Community Center;practical to take up the floor, tear down the platform, put in a wide garage door and store the town's trucks and tools within, yet one wonders what the pioneers, who so zealously founded the Baptist Society, would think if they could see the structure of their love and toil as it stands today. SAGE ODVIGE Intemperance is the Prime Minister of Death, Get a name for rising early and you may lie in bed all day. He who hunts two hares leaves one and loses the other. He that knows not when to be silent, knows not when to speak, Has„ty climbers have sudden falls. One man's fault is another man's lesson. Nature sets everything to sale for labor. Ask thy purse what thou shouldst buy. The greatest king must at last go to bed with a shovel. The hypocrite pays tribute to God that he may impose on men. A guilty mind punishes itself.

McNair, Arcade, A "SURE CURE" FOR CHILBLAINS Take ten pounds of Oak bark, put in a kettle, and pour on six quarts of water. Let it boil down to four quarts.
