    • Haysville

      Mrs. Thomas Somerville returned home on Monday from the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital, where she had an operation performed for a cataract on one of her eyes. We are pleased to report that it was a success and it is thought that she will have her original good sight restored when the eye fully recovers.
