DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TWP. OF NORTH YORK 2. Thinking of reducing? If so, consult your physician. Self-imposed diets often weak- en the body Without getting rid of much of the excess weight. Believe It Or Not 1. It is right and proper to start the New Year with the reminder that we are, chiefly, what we eat. Our health in 1950 will depend a great deal on the kind and quantity of food we select. 3. Medical experts agree that overweight plays an im- portant role in bone and joint disorders, and can cause flat feet, back disorders, minor strains on the hip joints as well as complicating treatment of sprains, fractures and dis- locations.

With Christmas come and gone for another year we have one thing to look forward to, our re- ports, Bad or good they soon will be in the mail. Parents take note. Since you last read this column much has happened around our school. On Thursday, December 22 (the last day of our fall tel-In) the Literary Society gave a, party opened with the singing of car‘ols. Three pictures were shown to the group, “The Night Before Christ- mas," “Country Hospital” with Laurel and Hardy and a Christ- mas comedy. A ten dance follow- ed. On Thursday, December 29, Grade XII held a. swimvmng party at the Glenview Terrace Swim- ming pool. Following this the party returned to Jane Tobias’ home for dancing and refresh- ments, Of interest to ex-students is the dance to be held on Friday, Jan- uary 13, 1950 in the High School gymnasium. The dance which is sponsored by the Literary Society is named “The Snow Ball" (hope we get some). Supplying music for the occasion will be Max Boag and His Orchestra. Dancing is from 9 till 1, with tickets 75 cents each, available from any student. Dfie to the fact that we have just returned from holidays thgye is not much sport news. But this winter term will bring about the basketball schedule boys and girls. both senior and junior. As soon as we receive the dates they will be printed in this column so that parents and friends may be on hand to see the school play. On Saturday, December 24, 1949, at three-thirty p.m. the Uni- ted Missionary Church, Gormley, was the setting for the marriage of Ruth Elsie Gooding, daughter of Rev. and Mrs, A. T. Gooding, Gormley, to Mr. Thomas William Christilaw and the late Mrs. Christilaw, Toronto, son of Mr. H. B. Christilaw and the late Mrs. Christilaw of Blind River. The bride’s father officiated and Mrs. Allan Doner played the wedding music. The soloist was Miss 15- obel Christilaw accompanied by Miss Doris Christilaw, sisters of the groom. Mr. Eldon Gooding‘, Utterson, Ont., gave his sister in marriage. Her graceful, trained gown of white satin had inserts of lace on skit and train. Her tulle veil was fingertip and she carried calla lillies and bouvardia. Mrs. Frank Tate of Guelph, matron of honor, and Miss Eileen Gooding, sister of the bride as bridesmaid, were gowned alike in Christmas-red blengaline taffeta with matching hats and mufl‘s trimmed with hol- ly and white chrysanthemums, Mr. Walter Dufl'ield, Amherst- burg, was groomsman and ushers were Mr. Beverley Secord St. Catherines and Mr. Vernon Gooding, Streetsville.

H unterâ€"Elliot Miss Elizabeth Elliot and Mr. Gordon Hunter were married quietly on December 28 at St. Mary’s Church, Richmond Hill. After the ceremony, Mrs. W. Elliot entertained a few friends and immediate relatives to an in- formal supper at Pony Crest Lodge, Elgin Mills. The tables were beautifully decorated with Christmas fern and yellow and white Chrysanthemums.

Highschool Highlights Look At That Label, Please 90% Of Trouble Lies With Drivers Asserts "Mile Of Death" Rescuer Curtis C. Dumm, manager of a service station on Highway 23, about 30 miles south of Columbus, Ohio, has also a self-appointed role as rescuer of traffioaccident vic- tims â€" that is, those who are not beyond rescue â€" on the mile or so of nearby highway. The road is smooth and the curves sweeping, Dumm says in the January Read- er’s Digest, but he calls this in- viting highway the ‘Mile of Death. By day and night, “like a fire- man always listening for the al- arm” Dumm is summone not by a bell, but by a report like an explosion, followed by the grind- ing noise of clashing metal. “When I hear those sounds I roll out of bed before I am fully awake, jump into my clothes, grab a wrecker and am off. Meanwhile my wife telephones for the state police and calls an ambulance.” In 21 recent months Dumm has towed in from Highway 23 and its tributary roads the wreckage of 142 accidents. He has helped remove the bodies of 11 men and women who died in those crashes. Thanks to his knowledge of first aid, he has saved the lives of many more. Dumm wonders â€" as he works with blow torch and crowbar to untangle tw'isted steel and shatter- ed arms and legs, and to remove from the wreckage human skulls Increase Fees On Light Cars Swamping of-the Canadian mar- ket by light four-cylinder motor cars during the past two years has brought an increase from $2 to $5 in motor license fees for that class of vehicle manufactured after 1933. Cars manufactured prior to that year will remain at the $2 rate. Four-cylinder cars built before 1933, and which therefore escape the license hoist, are chiefly old Canadian and U.S. models largely confined to the rural areas of the province. There were 79,479 four- cylinder cars registered in 1948. It is estimated that some 7,000 additional English, Italian and French four-cylinder cars have en- tered the province during the present year. It is estimated that registration will slightly exceed 80,000 in this category this year, Motorcycle licenses have been increased 100 per cent... being raised from $1 to $2. Commenting on the changes, Hon. George Doucett pointed out that the fees for registration of motor vehicles in Ontario are still lower than those prevailing in other provinces. In other prov- inces the fees for four-cyfinder cars range fon1 $9 to $20 and the fees for, motorcycles range from $2 to $6. Up until the end of November there were about 13,000 motor- cycles registered in Ontario. As a result the new fee will represent an increase of $13,000 in revenue. Penny Postage Fifty-one years ago" on Christ- mas Day 1898, Imperial Penny Post was introduced between Can- ada 'and Britain. Tradition says that the day was chosen on the spur of the moment. A biograph- er says that when the Postmaster- General of Britain, the Duke of Norfolk, told Queen Victoria that penny postage was to be introduc- ed with Canada, she asked on what day it was to come into force. “We thought of the Prince’s birth- day,” replied the Duke, referring to the Prince of Wales, who was born on November 9. “And what Prince?” asked the Queen, in her iciest tones. The Duke was equal to the occafion. “The Pfince of Pegce -â€" on Christmas Day" he replied. Thus the new rate be- came effective on December 25, 1898. Gold mines are scarce â€"â€" but you can “cash in" with a. Liberal classified ad. Telephone Rich- mond Hill 9. split as if by an axe â€" “why the brains spilled all about weren’t used ,to prevent such useless smashups." The Reader’s Digest article’s record of deaths is confirmed by a representative of the National Safety Council who checked with highway officials, local newspaper and the sheriff. “In very few of these accidents,” Dumm ~states], “have I found the cause to be mechanical defects; 90 percent of the trouble lies with the drivers. I refer not only to those under the influence of liquor but to those who become intoxicated with the sense of power the moment they get behind the steering wheel, those who get so cocky they be- lieve they are immune to accidents, those who feel they have the right-ofâ€"way over everybody, those who think it’s adventure to flirt with death by wild driving." Good roads, good lights, and ef- ficient traffic control are not en- ough, Dumm emphasizes. The one thing most desperately needed is the will to drive carefully, If we can popularize highway safety, we shall have gone a long way toward keeping hospitals and graveyards empty of motorcar victims. “Why not a oneâ€"man campaign by each of us,” he suggests, “to make good driving, starting with our own, the smart thing to do?” Correspondent: Mrs. Walter Craig Phone: Agincourt 35811 Our sympathy is extended to Mrs. Wm. Barrow on the recent death of her father, Mr. Watts of Lansing, a veteran of World War I, and for many years caretaker of Duke of Kent school, Lansing. He died at Sunnybrook hospital on New Year’s Day and the fun- eral was on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Frances Baker spent the holiday week with friends in Wind- sor. Her intention had been to fly home, but weather conditions grounded all planes. Frances, who attends Normal this year, is tea- ching this week near Port Perry. Mrs, S.
