THE DOCTOR"
(By R. ]. Malloy)

Sank Centre has lost it's foremost
citizen. It's foremost citizen for
more than half a century! Sank
Centre today mourns its loss in the
passing Of DR.. ]. A. Dubois.
The Doctor would be the fore
most citizen in any community. His
was a character and personality
naturally fitted to make him a
leader Of men. His leadership was
an unobtrusive leadership, not Of
the torchlight variety. Rather was
it a leadership that wins mems con-
fidence and mems hearts and holds
them to him irrevocably.
The touchstone Of his greatness
lay in his unimpeachalble sincerity
and honesty and in his intellectual
brilliance. It lay also in his hum
ility. This same man who could
read thesis on medicine before
the nations most renowned physi-
clans and receive their applause
and appreciation could rub elbows
with the rank and file Of the cit
izenry Of this community and be
part and parcel of that citizenry.
In his attachments he reached to
the heights yet his feet were al
ways on the ground.
The writer had known The Doc
tor for only seventeen years. One
could not truly know him in seven
teen years nor in seventy years for
there was much about him to know
Like the many facets Of the per
fectly cut diamond, each with its
symmetry and its radiance and its
beauty, so were the many connota-
tions in the character and the per-
sonality Of this man. He was phil
osopher, poet, orator. He was a
country doctor yet famed for his
knowledge of the science of medi-
cine. He was sensitive even unto
sadness at human suffering and
human woes. Yet withal he was, in
the buoyancy Of his nature, wit and
humorist. He knew how to make a
smile replace tear in the sick
and the sorrowful. He was physi-
clan not merely Of the body but OF
the spirit and heart as well.
A pioneer! The Doctor was the
true pioneer when first he cour.
ageously drove his horse and bug
gy into this scattered and small
pox ridden community more thar
fifty years ago. It was his un
daunted courage and his foresight
then that caused him to remain
and that same pioneer spirit h,
carried with him to the last for Il
him there was always much to bt
done for the alienation Of human
woes and for the civic veal Of Saul
Centre.

REPORT DECREASE
IN CHICKS SOLD
DR.. Sloan Says Poultrymen Should
Look Beyond Spring Conditions
In Planning Flock Size

It is called to the attention Of
local poultry growers that hatchery
men are reporting a considerable
drop in numbers of chicks sold this
spring as compared with 1885. DR..
H. J. Sloan, professor of Poultry
Husbandry, University Farm, said
today that high feed prices I'M
doubtedly are the explanation. but
pointed out that Poultrymen should
look beyond spring conditions when
planning how many pullets to raise.
Probable egg prices and feed costs
next fall and winter should be the
determining factors, rather than
present prices and costs, he
emphasized.
Fail and winter egg prices ma
turally will be influenced by the
supply of eggs during those seasons,
Professor Sloan points out. Judg-
ing by the marked reduction in
Matching this spring, there will be
fewer pullets and lower egg pro-
duction during the fall and winter.
Present storage operations are not
excessively heavy, SO prices are not
likely to be depressed by large
storage holdings.
Another fact pointing toward
stronger prices next fall Is the in
creasing demand for poultry pro-
ducts as indicated by lively out
of-storage movement Of poultry.

The Doctor did not ask Sank
Centre to adopt him. He adopted
Sank Centre. He labored for Sank
Centre, cherished 1t always and
watched 1t grow.
Always, it seems, there was this
splendid mind to guide us in civic
affairs,-that mind with its cog
ency of reasoning, its powers Of
intricate analysis and quick and
sound judgment. We had learned
to depend upon The Doctor.
| Today we mourn our loss. The
Doctor has gone out from us but
his philosophy and his ideals shall
linger on to guide us and direct US.
A poet does not die. A philosopher
does not die. A great and noble
man lives on in the imprints his
character and his life have made
upon the minds and hearts of his
fellow men. DIR. J. A. Dubois was a
poet, a philosopher and a great
and good man.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I'm connection with the assign
ment Of old-age benefit account
numbers to persons aged IS or
over recently announced, certain
newspaper clippings have just come
to my attention in which there Is
either q direct statement or an i'm
plication that the purpose Of this
assignment Of account numbers Is
to enable persons aged IS or over
to take part in the old-age benefit
system on q voluntary basis" said
Postmaster Ben Dubois, Monday.
This is contrary to fact, and 1t
will be very unfortunate n the pub
lie is confused on this point"
The purpose Of this assignment
is not to enable older persons to
participate in the Federal old-age
benefit system, but to assist States
in the administration Of unem-
ployment compensation systems.
The Federal old-age benefit sys-
tenn does not cover persons aged
IS or over, but State unemployment
compensation laws do. The States
are using the social security ac-
count numbers Of employees for re-
cord keeping purposes, and since
no account numbers have been is
sued to persons aged IS or over, It
would therefore be necessary for
each state to set up some kind Of
numbering system itself. In order
to avoid this, and to establish uni
formity in the numbering system.
the Social Security Board, through
the courtesy OF the Post Office De-
partment, has undertaken to as
sign numbers to persons aged IS or
over so that they will have such
numbers to report to State unem-
ploynent compensation depart
ments."
