KIWANIANS PROUD OF CANADA’S SUCCESSFULSON OF HOLLAND Thursday night proved to be a gala night for the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club which met at the St. Charles Coffee Shop, with a good attendance, to enjoy meeting and hearing Ted Boland, now of Toronto, but form­ erly a native of Holland, who has become a naturalized Canadian citi­ zen. Mr, Boland delighted his audi­ ence with words that were interest­ ing and amusing. Only those who go through similar experiences to those of Mr. Boland can fully appre­ ciate the pathos and inspiration that accompany these lessons in life through which he has graduated, but nevertheless another's exepriences, particularly when they can see the humorous side of life is always enter­ taining. "Why P Became a Naturalized Citizen.” This was the theme of Ted Boland’s talk. He told how, when a graduate in law of a University in Amsterdam, Holland, his imagination had been stirred by seeing moving pictures of our Canada, with the wind blowing through the fields of golden wheat. Adventure seemed to lay its grip on his young and active mind; he found out just enough from immigration authorities to fire his de- sire'to visit this Canadian paradise, this land of peace and plenty, of ro­ mance and adventure. However, he was met on his arrival in Canada, by great disillusionment and disap­ pointment, for instead of being ush­ ered right irtto a fine job, as he had been led or misled into understand­ ing, he was alone in a new country with absolutely no knowledge of English and only $28.00 in i! his pocket. To make his interesting’and humorous experiences live, in a few words, is difficult, but briefly it amounts to this, he travelled as as his money carried him and arrived in London where he met a kindly policeman who offered one of the many helping hands he has had ex­ tended to him in Canada. He needed work but he could not speak the language. The first lesson he learned was to be polite and say, "Yes, thank you.” This stood him in good stead, or was it too bad for him when he said, “Yes, thank you,” on being offered a job on a farm where he knew nothing about milking? The farmer spoke in signs, he took a stool, Ted took one too, they went into the barn, approached the bos- sie, sat down. The farmer’s milk pail filled rapidly, but alas, Ted looked at his unfortunate cow with disgust, where had she stored her milk, she would let him have none of it And so, with a few choke words from the farmer he struck out again—this time into the coaling business, but through lack of know­ ledge of English, or was it too kind a heart in spending too much of his employer’s time in mixing coal for a customer, he was "fired.” He didn’t know what that meant, and while his employer was deciding to give him another chance, chance stepped in, in the person of one of the Silverwood managers and gave (Continued on page 5) Legion Held Their Regular Meeting The regular meeting of Ingersoll Branch, No. 1'19, of the Canadian Legion, was held on Tuesday even­ ing in the Legion Hall.

Following this moving pictures were shown and were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. DONATIONS AREiNEEDED FOR WORK IN-CHINA St. Paul’s Boys' Mission Band Christmas Party A jolly and enjoyable Christmas party was held by members of the Boys’ Mission Band of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church on Friday in the church parlors.

There were attractive decorations of evergreens, wreaths and silver ball* in the parlors. The boy* certainly had a grand time at their Christmas party. The Lions Club Has Accomplished Much The Lions Club of Ingersoll, has presented an interesting report of the work which it has accomplished in the past year. There is a wide scope to their work and the club feels that the public should be inter­ ested in the way in which the funds raised by the club are used. The main object is child eyesight conservation. In the past year some 30 children have been examined and for 18 of these corrective glasses have been obtained. The main war­ time object is the Lions British Child War Victims’ Fund to which the local club has sent $750.00 in the past year. Nor have the soldiers overseas been forgotten. 54.000 cig­ arettes have been sent to them. An electric book machine has been ordered for the blind of Ingersoll and white canes have been supplied for them. Various war services have been supported. In connection with the eyesight conservation program, the organization has also paid for two ^juration* and the arcompan>mg hospitalization coata. The officers and directors are most careful that their funds are spent only on worthy and needy cases and have expressed gratitude for the most generous support they have received, At the morning service at Trinity United Church. Dr. A. J. Brace, sec­ retary of the W’orld Service for the Y.M.C.A., Toronto, was the guest speaker. He told of the splendid work whkh has been accomplished in China through the efforts of this organization and that it is still being carriedi on in a land ravaged by a ruthless enemy which says a great deal for the fine spirit of determin­ ation which eggs them on in their loyalty and love for their country and a desire to keep alive the things that are worth while. Dr. Brace said that it speaks well for the people of the Allied Nations on this side of the world who are in a position to aid their brothers in China and who continue to send them much needled gifts and donationse to aid in the work. The people of China have stood for more than five bitter years against a strong and savage enemy and anything we can do to help them will be appreciated. In compar­ ison to the losses of the Allies, China’s losses are manifold, the Japs having made terrible inroads on the property of the country. The loss of manpower and supplies he said is overwhelming. Dr. Brace explained that the Y. M.C.A. is the only organization which is carrying on work and rec­ reation for the soldiers back of the lines in China and India and now that the Japs are in control of such a vast area over there, this service must receive assistance to a large degree from the Allied nations, uar- ticularly where no ravages of war have come to take a vast toll of its reseryee. Last year, he said, the Chinese raised a million dollars to train 400 young men from’ college to be “Y” secretaries in their 6,000,000 man army. The money came from Chinese merchants in Malay and the Philippines, but since the Jap invas­ ion this has ceased. Dr. Brace is head of the Friends of China Society and an honorary member of the National Geographic Society. He spent 25 years in China before the war, teaching in universi­ ties there and in Y.M.C.A. work. He has just completed a trip through the United States. After the service, Dr. Brace was entertained at dinner with many of the Y’s men of the Y.M.C.A. at Big­ ham’s restaurant.

HUGH CHRlSTMASiMAILING A huge quantity of Christmas do­ mestic mail must be handled in a very limited pre-christmas period, and to complicate the task of the Post Office, is the fact, that this year more than before at many places, there is a shortage of skilled staff, due to en­ listment, and we would suggest, you mail your letters and pareels as fol­ lows: United States, (to allow for Cus­ tom inspection); British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, Mani­ toba and Maritime Provinces, On­ tario and Quebec, Local Delivery— not later than this week.

Among other thing*, everyone ought to eat oranges, tomatoes, grapefruit, raw cabbage, or salad greens every day.” "Of course, I bought eggs.” *aid Elsie. "Everyone needs at least 3 or 4 eggs a week. We’re lucky that we can cook them anyway we choose, because, from the looks of these packages, we’re going to have an omelet!” “Trouble, nothing but trouble.” groaned Elmer. ‘What’ll I do?” “How can one person eat all that at the same time?” asked Beulah, rubbing her small stomach anxiously. “Oh, stop grumbling and tote home these packages." prompted Elsie. “It will build up your muscles. And, don’t forget—the whole idea behind the Canadian Nutrition Program is: ’Eat the right foods for health, for Canada'*” “Green vegetablest” bellowed Elmer, “I say it’s spinach and to . . .” “And to thia,” interrupted Elsie hastily, "should be added potatoes, other vegetables or fruit* in “Ona of each a day is enough,” explained Elsie. “Because, in addition, every day a person ought to have at least one helping of green or yellow vegetable* —some raw. some cooked." > to Russia Fund, 80 King St. W.,Room 205, Torosto,AVONMr. Gordon Walker is a patient inVictoria Hospital, ’London, where herecently underwent an operation.He is progressing favourably.Mrs. Harold Rowe spent threedays of thia week in London, visit­ ing her mother, Mrs. Jetan ClementMr. and Mrs. Frank McIntyre have moved into their new home inthe village*.

Sparkling frost or gleaming white snowbanks put us in a different mood—yes I Christmas is in the air! Holidays are on us all of a sudden. And the happiest spot in all the world nt Christmas should be the home. Candle-lit windows, wreathed doorways, evergreen boughs—there are so many ideas for a homemade Christinas. Deorations can be simple and inexpensive yet lovely—and the whole family can have the fun of helping. Let’s start at the front door! Tie a big red oilcloth bow or a Christmas wreath on the door. Then the front hall: the children will be delighted to make a vine, with paper poinset- tias here and there, to., twist down the stairway rail. An archway be­ tween rooms makes a grand place for a display of green and red— use one large picture nail at the top j and tie the decorations to a heavy • green cord across the top and down | the sides. The mantel will still be the favourite place to hang your stock­ ings. But ’twill never do to hang | precious rayon or lisle hose thisyear—so make bags or socks of rednetting for everyone. Empty threadspools painted red with water paintwill hold sprigs of pine upright likelittle trees for use on tables andwindow sills. Christmas bells make gay decorations in doorways or hung from chandeliers. Red paper stars can be cut to spangle your white curtains... Once started, all sorts of bright ideas will come flocking to you. • RECIPES Chritlma* Pudding 1-3 cup butter, 1-4 cup corn sy­ rup, 1-4 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 ’4 tsps, baking powder, *1-4 tsp. soda, 1-2 tsp. salt, 3-4 tsp. cinnamon, 1-4 tsp. cloves, 1-4 tsp. allspice, 1-4 tsp. mace, 1 1-3 cups flour, 1-2 cup buttermilk, 1 cup chopped seedless raisins, 1-3 cup chopped citron, 1-2 cup chopped nuts (if obtainable.)

TAKE A TIP 1. The Dominion Power Controller has stated that ornamental light­ ing will be permitted WITHIN THE HOME during the period of December 24th to January 1st, inclusive. ’’Within the home’’ does not include lighting of Christmas trees on the front lawn or any decorations not strictly within the house. It does not permit Christmas tree or decorative lighting in stores or any other place except “within the home.” 2. Do not cover lamps with tissue paper—it may cause a fire. 3. Save electricity—do not leave Christmas decorative lights on longer than necessary. 4. Living room lights may be turned off while everyone is chatting. Decorative lights will give enough brightness and be much more effective. raves about his brighter shirts HUSBAND; Gosh, Lucy, my shirtshave ■ brand new look this week. How did you do it?

Al­ though he had been in poor health for the past four years, his condi­ tion only became critical four days before his passing. The late Mr. Johnson who was in his 61st year, was born in Dereham Township, but had lived in Ingersoll practically all his life. He had been an employee of the C. P. R. for about 25 years, as sectionman. Left to mourn his passing are his widow, one son, William J., Inger- ’<-11: five daughters, Mrs. Philip Kir­ win. Mount Elgin; Mrs. Jack Elliot and Mrs. John Moulton, Ingersoll; Mrs. Edmund Haylow. Woodstock, Mirs Helen at home; his father, Jos­ eph Johnson, Ingersoll; five brothers, Edward and George, Ingersoll; Gor­ don, Embro; Richard and Canon, in Alberta, and one sister, Mrs, George Tarrant, Ingerroll. The body rested at the Preston T. Walker Funeral Home until Monday afternoon. The funeral was held from his late residence, at 8 o’clock on Wednesday morning to the Church of the Sacred Heart -..here requiem mas* was conducted at 8.30 o'clock by Rev. A. Fuerth. There were many in attendance at the service which with the large number of mass cards and floral trib­ utes testified to the high esteem in which deceased was held by his large circle of friends. Interment was made in the Sacred Heart Cem­ etery, the pall bearers being Messrs. Robert Henderson, Alec McGinnis. T. J. Morrison, Wm, Freaelle, James Henderson, Percy Desmond. There was a good crowd at theAnglican Bazaar, held in the ParishHall on Thursday, December 10th, which was so successfully sponsored by the two Guilds of St. James* Church. The ladies must have put forth much effort judging by the fine display of work that met the eye at every turn. In the absence of Mrs. C. W. Riley, the president, of the Women’s Guild, the vice-president, Mrs. W. J. Elliott received and Mrs. 'T. Fleischer -invited the guests to the tea room where there were resplen­ dent refreshments set on a table covered with a beautiful filet lace cloth, with vases of lovely chrysan­ themums and graceful Christmas red tapers and beautiful candleabra. Re­ freshments were as usual, dainty and daintily served. Miss Edith Wood, was convener of the tea room and the ladies pouring tea were for the first half of the afternoon, Mrs.. E. A. Wilson and Mrs. F. Jones, and for the second half, Mrs. H. E. Merifield and Mrs. Harold \\ ilson. The ladies serving tea were Mrs. P. E. Tuck, Mrs. H. Riley, Mrs. i H. Batchelor, Mrs. McBeath and | Mrs. Street. There was a lovely tree in the lea room and the fireplace was decked with evergreen and silver decorations. The home cooking booth, always an interesting spot at a bazaar, showed signs of quick sales. There were many good things brought in, but as fust as they came in, out they went to delight some family at sup­ per. The table was spread with a snow white cloth and trimmed with decorations of red paper, a Christ­ mas tree at each end of the booths and pretty red pots of fresh par­ sley. Mrs. W. F. Newell, the con­ vener, was assisted by Mrs. IL A. Robotham and Mrs. G. The White Elephant Booth, withMrs. J. H. Thomas as convener, was most attractive with u variety of articles showing up prettily on a white cloth, with a soft white Christmas tree decorated with red berries in the centre of the table and red candles to add more cheer. Miss K. Wood and Mrs. C. H. Sum­ ner assisted Mrs. Thomas. The fancy work booth, always a huge success, kept true to its fine- record. Mrs. John Lee, the convener, served behind a veritable snow pal­ ace. for the front of the booth was draped to represent snow and touches of silver glittering* here and/there, lent the right touch of gaiet/ to the scene. The ladies assisting Mrs. Lee were Mi’s, H. Morrow and Mrs. H. G. Cook, and they were kept real busy passing out the pretty hand­ made articles. The children's booth was a real treat. The convener, Mrs. E. C. Grimes, assisted by Mrs. W. Weld, Mrs. J. Merrill, Mrs F. Lavery and Mis. L. Macnab, took charge of this booth for the Evening Guild of St. James’, and proudly and with very good reason, showed their beautiful blanket*, quilts, bonnets, bootees, etc,, etc., to an admiring public. This booth was very up-to-date, being decorated patriotically with Union Jacks. There was even one placed on top of the small Christmas tree in the centre of the booth. And last, but by no means least, came the touch and take booth, con­ ducted entirely by Mrs. V. Brooks. This was a mysterious and surpris­ ing spot, where one could forget all tiredness and boepey-worries in the thrill and excitement of paying five, ten or fifteen cents and getting, who could tell? A bracelet or a doll, or a pipe or something even more ex- iciting, The parcels were done up in red paper and looked very festive And much credit is due Mrs. Brooks ’’for playing "Lone Wolf" in such a good cause. Indeed all the ladies de­ serve a hand for' their enthusiasm and labour. Afl in all, it was a most successful bazaar and the ladies were pleased with the amount of cash brought in for church work.

For instance, most topnotch news­ men make it a habit of carrying a camera at all times. They know onenever can tell when a picture is going to "show up," and, whenever that may bo, they want to be readyfor It. Think of how many good pic­tures it might mean, to you if you make it a practice to'carry a small camera whenever convenient. You’ll also find that news camera­ men are invariably looking ahead. They try to anticipate pictures, and rives, he can get bis shot beforeyou can say "f/8.” Another point you'll notice about the successful news cameraman,who usually must shoot in a hurry, is that he doesn’t worry too much about composition and arrangementwhen he's making pictures. He's more interested in snapping the subject than in producing a strik­ing composition. Of course, that's not the best way to get appealing pictures, but it’s sometimes thenecessary procedure. You can, of course, crop and trim a picture to improve the composition once you've got the image on your film.Generally speaking, you'll dis­ cover that technically the news cameraman doesn’t have any ter­ Reports Presented At Board of Health Meeting Miss J.

TWO TONES Page 6■ — =THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 17, 1942OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK— By Dean Wilson —-1 — XREACTION IS FORECAST There is no doubt in usually woll- informed sources along Parliament Hill that the now famous post-war social security report of Sir William Beveridge to the British Govern­ ment will bring forth reactions in the coming next session of the Par­ liament of Canada, including the possibility that reflections of the significant points or prospositions in this report may be closely analysed and studied in detail. Premier Mac­ kenzie King has emphasized strongly lately 4>ost-wnr problems in import­ ant addresses delivered in Toronot and New York, urging on one oc­ casion that "the only path to pros­ perity and peace is the path of equality, of co-operation, »nd of human brotherhood”, and adding that “the hope of the future lies in the universal recognition of our common humanity. In short, there are suggestions or hints on Parlia­ ment Hill that the report of Sir William Beveridge, to the British Government on social security will likely re-echo in the coming session of Canada’s Parliament, particularly in view of recent speeches on the post-war world by Premier King and by the known opinions on such mat­ ters amongst the rank and file of the other political parties. FUNDAMENTAL LEGALITY OF CONTROLS Though ostensibly' it arose from two judgments rendered recently in Ontario on one angle of controls, yet the reference to the Supreme Court of Canada by the Minister of Justice on behalf of the Govern­ ment on this theme of war controls is in reality a test case on the fun­ damental legality of the strict ad­ herence to law of the entire meth­ od or plan of controls since in the introduction to this important refer­ ence all the various wartime con­ trols are mentioned. NO FINALITY OF JUDGMENT AT PRESENT Once again sharp criticism of the Government’s publicity system or effort is beginning to be heard behind the scenes along Parliament Hill, though so far these fault-finding es­ timations are l»eing heard only in whispers or backstage in low voices amongst those who have not been greatly impressed with the. results of the new organization or its func­ tions. However this veteran ob­ server must point out that Charles Vining, head of the Wartime Infor­ mation Boaid, has not only been in office for several months and thee success or failure of his efforts can­ not be adjudged with any degree of finality at this point, particu­ larly since it is understood along Parliament Hill that he has never in­ tended, nor planned to operate in Ottawa any mere propaganda agency but rather to carry on with the prin­ cipal objective of properly advising or counselling the Government on wartime publicity. BEHIND THE DISPUTE Though some time has passed since Elliott M. Little resigned as the Director of Canada’s National Selective Service, after his sharp disagreement with the Minister of Labour, JL'.i- Humphrey Mitchell, yet this cnsational event has brought in its wake a remarkable trend of blanket criticisms, with many of those who favour one ride or the other in this blow-up being in­ fluenced in part or their view being generated in part by those who are inclined to be guessers or to see pol­ itics in such friction in Ottawa. Hqwever, an impartial observer behind the scenes along Parliament Hill must admit that in this affair as in others of such tenor it is surpris­ ingly true that the political truce for the duration is not merely talk and that this is the broad backdrop aguisnt which all such important is­ sues are laid. Therefore, before fav- ouring one side or the other in thisstrife, the man-in-the-street mustnot make too much of those state­ments or stories which are un­doubtedly influenced in part or gen­erated in part by prejudiced partis­ans who represent their side of the case too strongly or even in excess of the whole truth. When Elliott M. Little .became Canada’s Director of National Se­ lective Service last March, he was considered in Ottawa to be the ideal choice fbr this strenuous job because he had the necessary background and he had already created an extremely favourable impression in the Labour Department as head of the Wartime Bureau of Technical Personnel. Then again, when the Hon. Hum­ phrey Mitchell became Canada’s Minister of Labour, lie was eonsid- cred to be closer in touch and to have a better knowledge of labour’s prob­ lems than any of his recent prede­ cessors in this high office because at the age of forty-seven years he had already served in the cause of lab­ our for over thirty years in such capacities as Trade Unionist, Secre­ tary of the Hamilton Trades Coun­ cil for twenty-two years and since 19.36 in Ottawa as the Secretary of the Inter-Departmental Committee of Labour Co-ordination, Secretary of the Natonal Labour Supply Coun­ cil, Chairman of the Industrial Disputes Inquiry Commission, and Chairman of the War Labour Board. Moreover, it is interesting to note that he was slated by the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, then Prime Minister and now Viscount Bennett, to be Labour Minister in his Cabinet in 1935 so that the political flavour of his appointment was rather weak. In other words, criticisms or dis­ cussions of this affair in Ottawa, must eliminate personalities, though there have been many whispers and suggestions with insinuations of con­ trary objectives. Indeed, in face of the fact that there has been a wide­ spread. powerful publicity and a loud continuous outcry in favour of one prejudiced faction or the other, yet the centre of the friction seems to have been mainly disagreements or frictions on far-rcaching man­ power policies and rulings. Other­ wise, stories of strife in other per­ sonal directions have been much ex­ aggerated in importance or value in the whole controversy.. Furthermore, the man-in-the- street in Canada must properly eval­ uate such current disagreements and realize that there is nothing unusual or amazing about their occurrence. In fact, it is known on Parliament Hill that likewise without involving serious questions of personalities some time ago sharp disagreements marked the opinions expressed by General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of United States National Selective Service, and Paul V. McNutt, head of the United States War Manpower Commission, with both men reveal­ ing themselves to be at loggerheads over some policies or rulings of mak­ ing civilians liable for some form of wartime service and disclosing quite different viewpoints on manpower regulations in general. In brief, in attempting to find the most efficient way of approaching the manpower problem, disagree­ ments or frictions have occurred in Canada as they have in other coun­ tries and these differences of opin­ ion rather than mere personalities must be emphasized.— (Reproduction Prohibited.) Femininity MaintainedDespite Lack o f Frills Regular kit inspection in the U.W.A.C., Trinity Barracks, Toronto. Second Lieutenant "Marjorie E. Brown and Lance Corporal DeborahDavis examine carefully each article of army issue belonging toPrivate Audrey English. Girls in uniform transplant their civilian lives hut not their Wardrobes into the Army “I had one of those lucky chance breaks—I have my old secretary back with me,” triumphantly an­ nounced a- hard-worked Army Cap­ tain. “In uniform, of course^—and she can’t talk back!” he added. A special lucky break for the captain but they’re all getting fe­ male secretaries these days. In this war our women in uniform are doing the jobs for which civilian life trained them, although these have been traditionally men’s perogutive in the forces. They cook and wait on table, they type and file and take dictation, plenty of it. They apply brains and skilled hands, and even brawn to the work of camp shops where repair jobs are done, wing tips painted, or parachutes tested. Contrary to some people’s belief, a girl doesn't change fundamentally when she wears a uniform. “Remem­ ber a ways that you are women,” ad­ vised H.R.H. Princess Alice, ad­ dressing a graduating class. A woman in camp keeps her own per­ sonality, her intimate personal habits and usually the same type of job she always had. A factor to which the women on active service are very unaccustomed, however, is the problem of the lim­ ited wardrobe. Girls who come from offices, from the teaching and nur­ sing professions, girls -who lived shel­ tered home lives on comfortable budgets with well-stocked ward­ robes, suddenly find they must ap­ pear trim and well-groomed wearing the same uniform every day—must contrive to be perfection itself with one lone jacket and two skirts the season round, and an allowance of $12.00 a year for undies, py- amas, cosmetics and personal things, Regular features of army life are kit inspections when all issued equipment must be arranged on the owner's bunk for the scrutiny of a superior officer. Every article must be in good condition, clean, well laundered, buttons polished and marked with the girl's name and number. The girls are their own maids and laundry service. Tubs, hot water, ironing boards and irons are provided in the basement of the -barracks. It's routine custom for th girls to parade to the barracks’ laundry, each with her box of Lux to daily dip the washable ties, stockings and shirts that arc army issue, and the precious bra and panties and other slip that she purchases herself out of her $3.00 quarterly allowance. Washing out all the perspiration that inevitably clings to lingerie at the end of a strenuous working day not only preserves material but is in strict observance of the rules of fas­ tidiousness imposed by the comradely association with the men in the camp offices and workrooms. They’re all working together in crowded, warm quarters, and these conditions call for faithful attention to every factor in keeping personally fresh and neat. It's a necessary habit too, to use gentle, fine-fabric sudw that can clean thoroughly and leave things dainty and sweet-smelling, be­ cause all drying is done indoors away from the raj’s of the sun. In camp with the men, lines of drying girlish undies do not flutter in the breeze, but remain modestly hanging in the barracks. Unable to use any clever feminine devices for smartening up an outfit by adding a few gaj’ accessories, the girl in uniform must accomplish charm with the minimum essentials allowed her. It's a large size order, but she’s doing a good job of keep­ ing up uniform morale by conscien­ tious care of her kit and a serene inner knowledge that every single article in her Sparun wardrobe is spruce and clean. by Mrs. Smith.

We care not how our fellowcitizens in the rest of the county,or province or Dominion fare. Theirfate is nothing to us. Their diseaseis limited to them by a higher power. Not only are their mistakes and shortcomings none of our business, but if they do,fail it can do no harm to us." But the trouble is that it can. A selfish, narrow attitude is not only unneighbourly to our neighbours but dangerous to ourselves. The slum in which there is a high death rate because conditions breed dis­ ease which maims and kills poor children, nurtures infection which will kill rich children, too; and so disease will spread from neglected areas to areas in which the health machinery seems to be perfect and perhaps is perfect except that the community takes too little interest in the health of the province or the nation of which it forms a part. It is pointed out elspwherc in this magazine that health conservation for Canada is a problem which de­ mands attention not only in some parts of Canada but in all parts of he Dominion—especially, however, in these areas where the development of good health machinery may lead to seeming self-satisfaction. The neglected area therefore is likely to listen to the doctrine of national health because it knows that it has been neglected. The protected area which is perhaps a rich and powerful area may fail to pull its weight in a movement for the good of all— and the movement towards national health is for the good of every (Editorial by Dr. Gordon Bates, General Director, Health League of ♦ Canada, in current issue of Health) \\ It has taken the present war to make current the term, isolationism. This phrase expresses an attitude, however, which is not new, the point of view of the selfish, the ig­ norant and the self-sufficient. Even before the parable of the Good Samaritan was written there were those who passed by on theother' side because they were indif­ ferent to the needs of others. “I and my wife, John and John’s wife, we four and no more," was a suffic­ ient text for many families. Too many people were not only indif­ ferent to the difficulties of others but unaware of the fact that al) of us depend each on the other ' and that the woes of one are the woes of all. ••Am I my brother’s keeper?" cried Cain. Of course for better, for worse, we are all our brother's keepers from now on and forever— else shall the mark of Cain be on our forehead. Thus has the isola­ tionist in politics branded himself in the eyes of his fellow man. Isolationism in public health is as foolish and short sighted as in the 1 field of politics. Isolationism in ' public health might otherwise be | called parochialism. It is expressed j by the self-satisfied' people who say.! J. R Henley, Mtr. GAIN Christmas finds us at war. Again Christmas recalls the ideals of peace and good will to men. Christmas is always Christmas. Despite th* war... despite all that has happened or will ever happen, we extend to our friends everywhere the good old Christmas wish, as timely now as always—A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Yearl CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR THE BOYS If you wpnt to send cash by cable, the bank Is the place to arrange it.

Remittances by Coble, telegraph or money IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA CANADIAN NATIONAL community in Canada, even for thewealthiest areas with the best healthmachinery.It is not only that communicablediseases may spread from one com­munity to another. There is anotherfact of which too few lay peopleare aware: That the cost of unnec- essary disease is borne largely not by the people who are careless and who allow it to develop in their own neighborhood, but by the wealthy community who pay most of the taxes—but who also pay the painless route—via indirect taxation. A typical example is found in the up­ keep of provincial institutions for the care of defectives of one kind or another, or the cost of chronic diseases which may originate any­ where but which ultimately becomes to a degree a charge on the whole community. Of course, most of us have been guilty of neglecting the problem of health as a national 'objective. It has been a fault in our conception of patriotism. Patriotism is not a love only of the soil which gav^flk birth but a love of our fellow citi­ zens, all of them. It was a great soul who said: “Above all is hu­ manity." And Isolationism is the antithesis of humanitarianism. A successful national health programme ensuring health for all parts of Can­ ada and ''all Canadians would mean the triumph of humanitarianism over isolationism in public health, and this must come as people understand all that the movement for national health stands for.

Barker referred to the re­cent statement of the Minister ofNational Defence that 3,000 girlsare needed in the C.W.A.C. Shepointed out that 3,000 more girls would be needed to replace the 3,000 girls now in positions from which they would soon be moving on to other jobs. Hence she pointed out, there is really a need for 6,000 girls. No other centre in M. D 1 has con­ tributed so many members to the C.W.A.C. to date as has London, said Capt. Barker. Windsor has provided 6,000 Girl* NeededIn The C.W.A.C.From Public Relations Hdqrs.,M. D. I, London, Ont.Prime reason for the majority of girls joining the C.W.A.C., is their desire to stand shoulder to shoulder, in some branch of the service, to their husbands, sweethearts or bro­ thers already in the Canadian army. They want to show the men folk that the women folk stand behind them. Such is the finding of Captain M. R. Barker, C.W.AX1. Staff Officer at London. Capt. Barker added that the sec­ ond most important motivating force to enlist was the desire of the girls to go overseas and thu? have an opportunity of visiting with relatives in the Old Country. Third u-as their anxiousness to help in Can­ ada’s war effort. The opportunity to change from civilian life into a more interesting challenging life was listed as the fourth reason. But regardless of their reasons, girls are urgently needed in the C. W.A.C. There is a very definit^lack of girls to act as stenographers Trhd typists. Following closely on this is < the need for drivers, cooks and storewomen for the C.W.A.C.

McQuestion can be an an­ chor man if he will; Duncan McAr­ thur, minister of education, is in poor health, as is Mines Minister Laurier of the blank record; Peter Heenan, coasting along in a depart­ ment denuded of most of its func­ tions, nears the end of his political trail; Lands and Forests Minister Hipel wrestles with an imbroglio in­ herited from Colleague Heenan; Agricultural Minister Dewan drifts with the tide in his bailiwick; mental problems are due to explode under Health Minister Kirby." “I take”, wrote Mr. Dewan, "strong issue with this appraisal. Of myself, writer Levington says: 'Agriculture Minister Dewan drifts with the tide in his bailiwick.’ To this I can reply that senior officials of the Depart­ ment of Agriculture need not at any time be ashamed to detail the accomplishments of the department during the past five years. A sum­ mary of these would indicate that neither leadership nor personnel has been afflicted with inertia. True,we have not proclaimed our deeds from the housetops. We have pre­ ferred to work rather than to talk and boast At the same time, we do not claim perfection, and we always welcomed, and will continue to wel­ come, honest criticism and construct­ ive suggestions with regard to de­ partmental policy. But personally, I do object to sweeping and damaging statemenu which explain nothing and which are without foundation in fact. Ordinarily, I should pay no attentinon to such a diatribe. To ig­ nore, 1 am well aware, would be the usual course. But when exceedingly Mr. Dewan comes through this with all flags flying. Mr. Dewan does not “drift with the tide in his baili­ wick,” by which presumably Oxford County is meant, for the very good reason that neither he nor the county is a drifter. Oxford is a sub­ stantial, virile and progressive coun­ ty. To say that Mr. Dewan drifts with the tide, where no drifting ex­ ists, is to imply that he is more or less inactive. Not a month, not a week passes, without clear evidence of the actual and constructive work and leadership of the minister of agriculture.— (Woodstock Sentinel- Review.)

The speaker said: “In the midst of the present we should make very definite plans for the., future; this places a tremendous responsibility on the shoulders of those of us who re­ main in Canada. Today other ways of life have broken down so badly that it is fitting we should seek guidance from God. We need to pray for wisdom and understanding, for spiritual strength that will bring to our hearts a clearer reealization of human brotherhood as exemplified in the life of Jesus. We need to pray to be lifted above the level of material things into communion with Divine power. There is also power in prayer, it brings courage and a greater capacity for solving bur problems.
