FARM FAMILY NEWCOMERS

The Carson family is growing! At
least the cast of the noon-day CLC
farm al is growing, if not the
actual Carson Family. The new re
eruits have joined the rural folk
whose interest centers in and around
Willowbrook Farm and in the picture
two well-known west coast actors
have made a partial attempt to get
into character.

Jerry Stovin weilds a wicked pair
of scissors to the discomfiture of Doug
Haskins. In the seript Jerry (Jack
the barber) is given to doleful stories
and the selling of raffle tickets. Doug
(Van Dorn) is a Dutch immigrant
with an agricultural background
anxious to learn

who is sincerely
Canadian ways.

Canada network Monday to Frid

“You’ll be sitting next to the
guest-of-honor’” said Clive in a wor-
vied voice, “do you think you can
keep up your end of the conversa-
tion?” 5

“Well, for pity’s sake,” was my
rejoinder, “you men are always talk-
ing about how much women talk.
and now you're worried in ease I
won't find anything to say!”

So there I was, sitting next to the
guest-of-honor. Knowing he was
from Vancouver, I let him know that
I had been practically his neighbor
for years, having grown up in little
old New Westminster. Upon his en-

quiry as to how I liked it here in
Williams Lake, I replied “Very

It is a small city of course, but I can
still go back and greet ten people
in the space of a city block. In a
small town you are definitely a per-
sonality whereas in the big city like
Vancouver you are just one of a
throng. Don’t you agree?”

Hastily I swallowed a mouthful of
potatoes and gulped “Yes, I do, I eer-
tainly do.”

“Did you drive up from Vancon-
ver, or fly?” I queried.

“Oh, we flew up. A really wonde!
ful way to travel especialy with roa
in the present hazardous condition
through the canyon. I've logged over
40,000 miles of flying.” (Murmur of
astonishment from me). “Of course
when you figure it is 5,000 miles to
Toronto and back, it doesn't take
long for the miles to accumulate. Of
course the best trip was the one my
wife and I took to Honolulu last year
for a three-weeks' vacation. I think
yone should take a trip there:

“Well, now, I was surprised,” re-
plied my dinner partner. “The whole
trip, counting everything — accom-
modation, side-trips, suitable clothes

As I scooped up the forkful of
salad I had dropped in my lap, I com-
mented in my most blase manner “‘is
that all?” but actually I was making
a mental note that it would be a long
time before I saw Honolulu.

“It would have cost more if we
had stayed at the Royal Hawaiian
Hotel,”” my partner went on, “but we
found that you have a better time at

the smaller hotels; not so much

It is a very easy language to learn.’
He spoke of a trip to Pearl Har-

‘Flu Could Hit Area
Health Chief Warns

Influenza may hit hard in the Cari-
boo according to a warning issued by
Dr. H. H. Brown last week.

The head of the Cariboo Health
Unit said he was basing his expecta-
tions on reports of ’flu moving over
the mid-western United States. Since
then however, news reports have in-
dicated that the disease, which nit
epidemic proportions in some locali-
ties, is abating.

The virus is the same type that
appeared here two years ago and hit
the majority of Williams Lake resi-
dents.

First symptoms of ’flu are usually

a sudden onset of fever, accompanied
by pains in the back and neck. These

are followed by a hacking ‘cough
caused by inflammation of the bron-
chial tract. Dr. Brown warns persons
struck by "flu to go to bed and remain
there for two or three days after
their temperature goes down.

Failure to Go this results in the
spread of the disease throughout the
community. =

Frequent washing of your hands,
particularly before meals, helps in
avoiding ‘flu. The virus is spread
orally. Those affected cough and the
virus may be deposited on objects
that are handled by others.
