G wT Dion the Valley On Wednesday evening, February the 20th the wives of the school principal, postmaster, game warden and mountie, the hospital matron and all those who were to be her immediate neighbors, met over coffee at Murdoch's to wish Margaret Metcalfe welcome to Cassiar. As is usual when a few women come together, Margaret was regaled with many tall tales of what to expect during her stay in Cassiar. I am happy to report that in spite of these she still seems happy to be among us. OPEPEOPEOEOMET Reg and Alma Hewett are visiting with their son, Fred, and daughter-in-law, Colleen, for one month. Reverend Mr. Hewett formerly served as paster to the Kootenay Lake Parish and after their vacation in Cassiar he and his wife plan to retire in Whiterock, B.C. They are "happy to be back and to see their old friends". We wish them a pleasant stay here and | happiness in their retirement. Mrs. Eda Weaver, Colleen's mother is also visiting here from Vancouver. We hope you have some good times in Cassiar with your daughter and son-in-law. A warm and sincere welcome’ to Mrs. Sybil Strudnick, who has been visiting with her Grandaughter, Mrs. B. Neidermeyer. Mrs. Strudnick was a visitor last year too, for several weeks and came all the way from Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewatn. She is an accomplished bridge enthusiast and we hope that she has enjoyed her visit to Cassiar and will be back again in the near future. Sincere Sympathy is extended to Mrs. Dinah Creyke and family at the death of her son, Mr. John Creyke, .of Calgary.

This is an excellent achievement by everyone and it just goes to show that-when we all decide to work safely, accidents can be prevented. The heartiest con- gratulations are extended to all employees of Cassiar. \ The accident which broke your good record, occurred at the Mill Dryer when an employee was lifting a wheel- barrow of clean-up muck to empty it, resulting in a hernia. He is in Vancouver for an operation to repair the hernia and our sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery are extended to him. Do not allow a negative attitude to prevail because of this unfortunate incident, but let us all maintain our jetermination to do even better. The past and continuing co-operation of all employees toward accident prevention is greatly appreciated. Thank You W. Dobie Did you know that there is a nearly costless item which kills pain quickly, inhibits infection, controls bleeding, and is quite safe? What is it? An ice cube! Refrigeration is so powerful an anesthetic that surgeons utilize it to perform major operations on patients who stay wide awake. Moreover, humble ice cubes can relieve the type of backache which is caused by mus- cular strain. 1 When you burn your hand, it's natural to want to cool it immediately. Most people are taught to use butter or vaseline to relieve the flaming feeling. In- stead, put the burned spot into a pail of water chilled by ice cubes, or you can rub ice cubes directly over the burn itself. This will provide relief in short order. Moreover, there will be scant swelling, blisters won't form, and the burn will heal more rapidly after ice cube massage. Refrigeration possesses another medical virtue. It helps to stop bleeding, not only on the surface but also that which occurs under the skin (such as black eye). Ice cube treatment, in such cases, tightens the blood Results: Less discol- oration, less swelling, and less pain. Another boon: Ice cube application prevents infection in wounds. Low temperatures keep germs in a state of inactivity. cs It has been found that various skin disorders can When your skin itches, you always want to scratch it. That relief is only momentary, and moreover, it aggravates the trouble. Ice cube treatment stops the itching and prevents Ice cubes applied on the Donald L.
