Notes from A Woman s Workshop CANADA’S GRAND OLD MAN “Come, and grow old with The best is yet to be, The last of Htc, for which the first was made, . Last week, on his ninety-ninth birthday. Sir William Mulock, sat oqce again Upon the bench which, as Chief Justice of Canada, he had so Jppg -occupied, Rich In the experience of an extraordinary life, alive to every new interest that the change of times presents, the past, present ’ and future dwell together as one continuous whole in the heart of this wonderful old gentleman, As a young man he witnessed the birth <>f Confederation and from that day bore his full share of responsibility in shaping the destiny of the young Dominion, serving with energy and ability in many public offices. To Sir William old age has never been an : excuse for shirking duty, indeed it is a condition that he never seemed ' to recognize. A few years ago, at a gathering held in honor of an earlier • birthday, he recalled the interests and activities of his long life. Then he ‘ spoke of the future where the shadows of life’s eventide were lengthen- . ing. These shadows, he said, held foi* him no terror, since he looked for- • ward with eager anticipation to exploring the surprises that lay hidden ? beyond. What a wonderful thing, to be able to carry the questing heart to the very borders of the beyond. What wealth such men as he bequeath ; to their times I it is life, the very life of Life; in its brief course lie all varieties of existence; Bliss of •Growth, Glory of Action, Splendor yesterday tomorrow today; ’ The ‘ The The For And But • Well-lived makes every yesterday a Dream of Happiness, every tomorrow a Vision of Hope. well, therefore, to -this day. is the Salutation of the Dawn. —The Sanscrit ♦ * * * * STATE MEDICAL CARE ■ And • Look * Such relieve the necessities countries abroad can unmoved the spectacle of its own citizens go- the health care which We all know many cases treat- have years there come ; If the health of this country (and the war requirements have shown it to be disgracefully low) is to be ; brought up to par/ some sort of • state health program is an absolute necessity, and, in fact, long over­ due. It is not right that any citi­ zen, whose service can be requisi- ‘ tioned by the state if the need arise, . should be handicapped or lose his life because he cannot afford the ■expense of treatment. It is strange but true that a nation which is willing and able to spend great sums of money to of suffering :Still witness ■ of hundreds .ing without .is needed., where people who are too self-re­ specting to ask for charity, simply go on enduring their physical dis­ abilities when all they need is the proper treatment. The hospitals are at present full of patients who only now are able to afford ment for troubles that they been bearing -through all the of the depression. Then, too, are many fine families who within the smaller wage brackets to ‘whom the extra expense of doctor bills is stark tragedy. The ment of childhood diseases, dental oare, tonsil operations, all of which ■ate incidental to the rearing of a •family, stretch the budget to the •limit and entail real hardship in the matter of necessary food and cloth­ ing. Then, too, many a hard-work­ ing man who has managed to put aside a moderate sum for security in old age finds that this hope van­ ishes as a major operation or a long illness can, in a few short weeks, use up the savings of a lifetime. Health care should be available to everyone, not as a charity, but as his Ordinary right. In many parts of the West and among the employees of the larger business corporations, a scheme for health insurance and hospitaliza­ tion has proved most beneficial, so the idea has been well proven. Strangely enough, state health pro­ grams have been opposed by many doctors. This may be understand­ able with those physicians who have lucrative or specialized practices, hut the ordinary doctor who finds it hard to collec-t for his work, es­ pecially in hard times, should view an assured income and a greater measure of disease prevention as a boon. In a recent speech Premier Con­ ant said that women could accomp­ lish any reform if they would only unite to exert mass pressure. The health of the family is ohr chief concern—let Us stand wholeheart­ edly behind the growing demand for a fairer and more general national health service. ♦ ♦* * , (BUTTER AND 4> BONES treat- according If Still less butter, last Week’s announcement, heard it correctly, the new allowance is a little less than an ounce per person per day.

One of the very few who can exercise power without abusing it, her position is to her only an opportunity for wider service, come to -the “First Lady”, the ress of the White House. Welcome too, to the little princess of the Netherlands, in a hospital suite (which had officially declared extra-territorial in order that she might be a Dutch .rather than a Canadian citizen), the latest daughter of Princess Jul­ iana lies warm and safe and com­ fortably ignoran-t of the fact that she should have been a boy. It seems not so long since the arrival of her mother as heiress to the throne of the Netherlands was greeted with similar tempered en­ thusiasm. However, it would seem that the Dutch, at present so unhap­ pily in bondage, might seek long and far for a prince who would serve them with more courage and devo­ tion than has been shown in Grand­ mother Wilhelmina. * if. « KETTLE AND PAN Wel- mist- new Born been So our with and and omelet or far we have been squirming along trying to bolster up dwindling stock of commodities substitutes. But the honey syrup, the canned vegetables butter, the meat and cream are all under control and it looks as it we will have to make up our minds to do as the citizens of Leningrad have done, go without -much that he have thought necessary. There is still some of most foods and plen­ ty of milk, eggs and good wheat flour, so we wont starve till we can “grow our own” again. Have you tried a few spoonfuls of cooked rice in the scrambled eggs? Good too in pan­ cakes or as topping for a meat-and- vegetable pie. A few slices of le­ mon cooked with the rice give a pleasant flavor and a whiter grain. One woman says that she grates the rind off all her oranges and lemons and puts it into a jar and sprinkles lightly with sugar. In this way she always has flavoring on hand.
