What the end results in the children infected and surviving will be we do not know, The point in which parents should be interested is that scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria are preventable and in the, absence of immunization more to be . feared than the dreaded polio, Par- ents are urged to see to it that their children are protected. It is no credit to our intelligence or our patriotism that the lives of more than 40,000 little children should be endangered by dis- eases which could be prevented.

ALLIES NOW HAVE COOD PORTS There were many who were very sure that an invasion of France could not be carried out successfully without the, facilities of fine dockage. The Germans had this idea also and Went to great trouble to fortify Brest, ' Cherbourg, LeHarve, Boulogne, ports that would be very valuable to the Allies in an invasion thrust. The lies however were aware that these :ports would be difficult to crack so their plans were made otherwise. To the Navy and the Engineers should go much of the praise for the success of the invasion and the great advances that followed. We do not wish to take away any of the glory that rightly be- longs to the other branches of the service, but do wish to give some credit to the Navy and Engineers for their great work. Instead of the Allies using fine port facilities they had to use the beaches and the engineers made this possible and the Navy car- ried on under difficulties that were thought unsurmountable by our en- emies, Time changes ail things and now the Allies have four good. ports, they may need much repair, through which to send supplies to our armies. Brest, LeHavre, Boulogne have recent- ly fallen and Cherbourg was taken some time ago. These were tough places to capture and our men did a great job in clearing out these places after they were by-passed by the main forces. The battle of France was well planned and thoroughly executed. * * NAVY PREPARES FOR THE FUTURE While this war is still raging the Navy is looking forward to_ the day when wars are no more and this serv- ice will be on a peace footing. At Toronto on Friday, the sod was turned for a permanent peace time barracks which will be used for the training of personnel.„after the war. This is a large project as it will house 50 of- ficers and 600 other ratings. Other barracks will be erected in various cities eross Canada for a similar pur- pose, The navy are making their post-war plans now and this is very wise. We never again want to be found unprepared, Similar action by the army and navy are in the making. Let us hope they do not trim their complements of men too finely. * * * * PROTECTING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN In the last year of record there were 687 cases of infantile paralysis in Can- ada and 64 deaths from this cause. This is a disease *which is regarded with veritable terror by the average parent, who is apparently comparative- ly indifferent to the ravages of diph- theria, scarlet fever and whooping cough, three diseases, the seriousness So far this year, Long Distance calling Is almost 10 per cont. heavier than in 1943, when toll calls sot an all.-time high.
