FOX RANCH BUSY These are busy days at the Thomp- son Fox Ranch west of Bethesda in the Gormley district. Killing has been going on at the rate of 80 to 100 foxes a day. The pelts are shipp- ed from Stouffville to Powassan where there is a large curing plant. Over $15,000 worth of pelts have been shipped so far this season. Mr. Daniel Stong of Edgeley was‘ pleasantly surprised Sunday after- noon when his two sons, Clarence and Earnest with their wives and families gathered at his home and made him guest of honor at a com- bination Christmas and birthday dinner. Mr. Stong was 84 years old on Sunday and is enjoying fairly good health. His hearing is some- what impaired and rheumatism keeps him confined to his home, but men-‘ tally he is as keen as ever. Mrs. Stong died last June, but had she lived until next February 2nd they would have celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary. The Liberal joins with Mr. Stong's many friends in wishing- him many happy returns. Daniel Stong Edgeley Honored on 84th Birthday POSTER OF 1877 NOW ON DISPLAY IN OUR WINDOW Mr. William H. Mylks this week handed us a large poster, printed by the Richmond Hill Herald, in the year 1877, adver- tising an excursion to Lake Sim- coe coupled with a Moonlight Excursion. The old' bill was un- covered last week in a vault in the Parliament Buildings. Tor- onto, where it had apparently been placed by someone interest- ed in the event. The fare was 75 cents and the steamer used for the boat ride from Barrie was the “Lady of the Lakes”. The old poster is now on dis- play in The Liberal Office win- dow, and we 'would be interest- ed to hear of any who attended that excursion. A note on the back of the bill says “weather clear, fine but chilly. About a .month too late in season.” MIDNIGHT SHOW DEC. 318t at 11.30 HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PROSPERITY IN 1941 VOL. LXII.

Plan Collection; in Early Spring The Township of Markham Red Cross Society branch in an endeavor to increase its funds to carry on its. necessary work, intend instituting a scrap metal collection throughout the entire township in the early spring. All residents of the township, on farms and in the police villages, are earnestly asked to gather up their scrap metal and lay it aside in a convenient place until the Township Red Cross trucks call in the spring. Scrap metal is urgently needed, but the roads are against gathering it up at this time. Just as soon as the roads permit, there will be a Township campaign and everyone will be called on. Do not throw away your old 1940 motor licensesâ€" they are valuable scrap. Tin cans are not Wanted â€" they are of no value. Old brass or bronze, iron or cast, or other metal will be appreciw ated.

The great progress made in combatting rickets, scurvy and many other diseases is the result One of the great bene- fits of sufficient of the necessary Vitamins is in building up resist- ance against colds and other infec- tions. How did the present gener- ation ever survive then, said the Doctor, when our parents never heard of Vitamins. It is partly ex- plained h-e said'as a survival of the fittest. Then too he said our preâ€" sent diet is different to that of years ago. We live too much now with the aid of the can-opener and canned vegetables do not have the same strength in Vitamins as the vege- tables fresh from the garden. Many vegetables he said twenty-four hours' after picking have lost half their goodness in Vitamins. A vote of thanks on behalf of the Lions to the speaker for his very interesting and instructive talk was moved by R. D. Little and Dr. J. P. Wilson and heartily endorsed by the members. Traffic was almost at a standstill in the main business block in Stouffâ€" ville last Friday, so large was the crowd at the Christmas Market The universal use of cod liver oil and halibut oil for growing children mins. So if the better half is a little off-color some morning try a little cod liver oil. We don’t guar- antee that it will work but accordâ€" ing to the Vitamin experts it may be the cause. The Empire’s supply of oil rich in the necessary Vitamins is closely guarded by our government, and the exportable ‘surplus of the United States is all taken by Britain. In a most interesting manner the speak- er outlined the different Vitamins, the source of their supply’ and ex- plained the necessity of everyone having a sufficient supply in their diet. Deficiency of sufficient of cer- tain vitamins causes night blindness, nervousness, and general irritable- ness which sometimes causes domesâ€" tic troubles often can be wholly traceable to a lack of certain vita- mins. So if the better half is a little off-color some morning try a little cod liver oil. We don’t guar- “We can win the war with Vita- mins,” said' Dr. J. H. Carson, presi- dent of the Vitamin Oil Company which recently established a distri- buting plant in Richmond Hill in ad- dressing- the Lions Club last Thurs- day evening. “Hitler says he can produce synthetic vitamins, but he can‘t do it,” said Dr. Carson, “and if we can just sit back and keep Germany from getting the essential vitamins in fats and oils she cannot survive.” The speaker traced the development of important discover- ies about Vitamins which now num- ber many, the most recently discovâ€" ered being Vitamin “p”. Many of these essential vitamins are supplied in Cod Liver Oil and Halibut Oil. Telling of the development of Hali- but Oil Dr. Carson said it was only a few years ago it was difficult to get fishermen on the West Coast to save the Halibut livers from which the precious oil is extracted. Now the income from Halibut livers means millions of dollars to the fish- ermen.
