His grandparents, neighbors of ours, were people who had many native virtues, but who put all their attention on, and succeeded in amassing a great amount of money. They did this by unending industry and continual self-denial but had no time for neighborly pleasantness. In the course of their lives they be­ came a little too sharp to be quite honest and a little too acquisitive to be very kind. Their money passed on to their one son who had inherited their meanness without their good nature.

It was also contended that 35 per cent of the women admitted to practice ceased practicing after the age of 30. The above article is clipped from a current issue of a London news­ paper. It calls to mind once again, the age-old struggle that women ■have had, to take their proper place as helpmates to men in a world where, goodness knows, their is ample opportunity for all to serve. One wonders at the unreasoned pre­ judice that men have shown to any efforts made by women to lift them­ selves out of the common rut and all progress .in this direction has been attained through the courag­ eous leadership of the few who dared to pioneer and demonstrate the rightness of the views they held. In the matter of practice of medi­ cine, we, in Canada are sixty years ahead of women in England, but the right • to • practise was not granted here without .opposition. The story is interesting. Dr. Emily Stowe was the first woman to practise medi­ cine in Canada, but she had to go to New York to get her degree. Re- ' fused admittance to- the University of Toronto, she founded a woman’s movement which resulted in the doors of the university being thrown to woman physicians. Her daughter, Dr. Augusta Stowe Gullen followed ’ in her mother’s footsteps, going steadily forward on her chosen path in spite of antagonism from her male associates. She has been called the Dean of Women Doctors and is widely known as lecturer, demon­ strator and specialist in children’s diseases and sat on the senate of her . Alma IMater. In her busy life she has also found time to serve her city in the interests of public edu­ cation, other field Guest at Lucan) is one of our few women surgeons. With the proof of the fine contribution which can be rendered by women in the service of we offer our best wishes y English sisters who have come into their own. * * * * * Sometimes one cannot help en­ vying the children .of today who, we hope, may live to enjoy the wonders of the new world which will be born from all the anguish of the present travail. All signs point to comforts available to the masses of people, which should lead to a much freer life. The great surge of research along industrial lines has already produced marvels in new materials now monopolized by military needs, but which when released for general duty may transform our whole dom­ estic set-up. Houses are to be built of self­ insulating glass or of prefabricated wood which, having been cut out to plan, may he set up in a few hours. Plastics have an almost unlimited field for development and are al­ ready taking the place .of metal, wood, porcelain and ceramics. Syn­ thetic rubber should supply all the requirements for which the natural product was needed. A plastic leath­ er ten times stronger than the real thing is now in use and a patent­ leather, non-scratchable and wear­ resistant, has been perfected. An­ other plastic is saran, a cord-like fibre used in upholstering, screen­ ing etc. This has the advantage of being non-corrosive. Nylon, the silk substitute which we were beginning to get -acquainted with before the war, has been put to many new uses, as for upholstering, drapes, and rug material. Glass has been turned to the production of cloth as well as taking the place of metal in utensils. Another wonder in the fabric fam­ ily is Bubble-fil, strings of air-filled bubbles taking the place of kapok in pillows and mattresses. Cordura is a new rayon yarn of exceptional strength at present being used in tires for planes, but easily adapted to civilian use. Aralac is the trade name for the fibre made of the case-] in of skim-milk,. Koroseal is a wet­ proof material which ^should wonders in comfort. Even the popular wool is due for a great hauling in processing which work ever- over- will make it much more practical in be­ ing unshrinkable and mothproof. The pity of it is that it must take a war to spur on human indolence to dealing successfully with the prob­ lems which have to thebarrier race. st. * KETTLE always stood progress of * * * AND PAN Natural Sugar local shops are now , Dr. Helen MacMurchy is an- of Canada’s veterans in the of medicine, and Dr. Edna (who attended High School health, to at our last I HERE ARE NEW RATIONING DATES • Here aro ’that ration Better make ' calendar.

I might state that I just received one a few days ago and again thanks a million. Everything is going very well with me only I am kept fairly busy. Am still fighting fit. Some of the boys around here can’t figure out where, the old Scotchman gets all his pep but I guess that is just naturally born in the Scotch. We have lost most all of our old fellows, our O.C. included and I am just one out from being the “daddy” of the unit now. I feel sure that once they set the Canadian Army loose they will tramp all those Jerries who are de­ serving of it into the mud where they belong. I hope it won’t be long before they let us get going. The weather here lately has been terrible. We are camping in an old bush on the top -of a big hill near the coast and camping these days is just like camping in a sugarbeet field. As far as I am concerned Eng­ land can have her lovely green fields and rain for Christmas. Give me the cold and the snow.Once this war is over, should I be one of the gang to return, you will hear me say (I had better not say it) . land. j Hope you folks heard cast our unit sent home mas.

Never were there so many people eating lunch­ es. It has been demonstrated at industrial plants that production directly depends on nourishing and stimulating foods. The lunch box is therefore a major problem. The sho rtage of butter is a great handi­ cap in making sandwiches, so that something hot in the thermos bottle is a necessity. If butter be soften­ ed a little and mixed with some sa­ vory condiment such as catsup or salad dressing, it helps out. Tn sandwiches where dry meat such as cold roast chicken or beef is used, it helps to moisten the filling with a little of the well-seasoned, jelly- like part of the gravy that lies just below the fat that rises, people have always used drippings, such as pork or beef or a blend of both in place Of but­ ter and these are delicious if sprinkl­ ed with a little salt, A spoonful of thick cream helps out almost any surely takes of prepara- away chopped filling, imagination and tion to feed a the home table.

Everything enclosed was in excellent condition and proved to be very useful in ‘many ways. We have moved recently and I see most of the Exeter boys quite often. They appear to be in very high spirits and take everything with a smile. FOi'-’ instance when we go on long route marches there is a smile on our lips, a song in our hearts, but one thing remains in our minds and that is to get this war won and get back to good old Canada. I suppose by the time this letter reaches you the snow will be quite deep and sleigh bells will be ring­ ing. However, we are enjoying love­ ly weather over here but the burn­ ing question is—how long will it last? As you know, it can rain over here at a moment’s notice and leave us to wonder where it all comes from. Nevertheless, as long as it doesn’t get any our necks, we’ll chins up.

There is always something that is just what is needed at the time it arrives. The toothpaste is (tlie best I have had in a long time. We are always getting ready to go on leave over here, or so it seems. The time goes quite fast. I spent my last leave on the Isle of Man. It is a small island in the Irish Sea. The island has its own parliament and is quite proud of it. I spent one 'morning at the House of Keys with the Mayor of Douglas and they were passing a marriage bill for the forces. It was quite in­ teresting. They also have the old­ est continuous open-air parliament in the world—at least a thousand years old. There is no trade there, other than fishing. The main thing on the island is the tourist trade and there is not much of that these days. The one thing that I thought was the best was the fact that I could get eggs to eat eggs in two weeks than the two years previous, think of all the eggs I used I feel bad. The Irish Sea putation for being rough and on the way back it sure lived up to its name. I would say that 90 per cent of the folks on board were sick and they sure did look bad. I had the time of my life and en­ joyed every minute of the trip. All the Exeter boys in this unit are in the best of health and we have nothing to complain about.
