SEX HYGIENE TEM IN HIGH SCHOOLS Widespread interest is being shown in the sex hygiene course offered: in the four high schools of London, On- tario, for more than two years, and some 2,500 girls have benefited, So far the instruction has been confined to girls in grades eleven to thirteen. Extension to lower grades and also to include boys, is contemplated by the Board of Education. According to Winnifred Ashplant, R.N., health counsellor for the London secondary schools and the special in- structor, the course includes factual. knowledge of anatomy and Physiology, embracing marriage, "with erriphasis on proper ideals and attitudes," The London high schools are among the few in Canada fortnally teaching sex hygiene and human relations and giving information about the venereal diseases.

Best of all—there was a bench in front of it! Your' reporter gratefully relaxed for a few minutes and watched as the changing pictures told a story about meteorites. He learned that a meteorite is a portion of another;` heavenly body which ex- ploded long long ago, Since then, the pieces have been travelling through space until one or more of them collid- ed with our earth. These meteorites vary in size from dust to 36 tons—the largest' so far located. After the com- pletion of the series of pictures and feeling rested and relaxed, your report- er spent several minutes examining, the actual meteorites on display in the gallery. The moral to this story is—when opportunity affords, try a visit to the museum, There you will find relax- ation and things of interest, objects from •the past, oNrom other countries, even from other worlds. DO YOU KNOW That the braying mantis is an insect, so-called from its habit of holding its front legs in an elevated position as if in the act of supplication or prayer.. Of the several' kinds on exhibit in the Royal Ontario "Museum, from various parts of the world,,,some are nearly four inches in lengthy DIP SHEEP FLOCK AGAIN IN FALL Fall dipping of sheep is just as itn, portant as dipping in the Spring, but it is often neglected because, on ac- count of the growing wool, the ticks are not easily seen and farmers are led td believe that their flocks are practically free from pests. However, the argument for fall dipping is that a few ticks on a sheep at the end of the year will multiply many times before Spring, and it is estimated that in tick-free flocks the saving in feed and the increased weight of lambs and wool, as a result of cleanliness, may easily -amount to from 60 cents to $1.50 per head. On the other -hand, the cost of dipping will not exceed 3 to 5 cents per head. There is also the consideration for the comfort of the flock. Parasites are a source of discomfort to the ani- mals and a drawback to their full de- velopment, as shown by the, flocks free from ticks and lice growing better wool and requiring less feed. At the same time, the number of lambs is larger; the ewes give More milk, and the lambs grow more rapidly. In view. of the continued war de- mand for wool, fall dipping helps in the war effort. September and Octo- ber are the two best months for fall dipping. If the weather becomes cold, the flock should be housed for a night or two until the fleece dries. Dips are classified according to the nature of the poison they contain, as carbolic, arsenic, and tobacco. Most standard dips will prove effective pro- vided the directions are carefully fol- lowed. Dips are sold in two forms— powder and liquid. The powder form requires a little longer to prepare and slightly more caution and exactitude ,in the preparation of the bath, but it has the advantage claimed by the manufacturers that the sediment re- mains is the fleece long enough to kill eggs when they hatch. The liquid form has the advantage of being easier to prepare and is effective, but ,to in- sure complete eradication of the pests, , a second dipping in two or three weeks is recommended. All dips are Poisonous and should he. kept away from live stock when they- are being prepared.
