Hello Homemakers! Starting the
New Year with good resolutions is
often like admiring a jar full of cook-
ies put on the kitchen table about
three-thirty in the afternoon. Fifteen
minutes later the children have been
in from school, changed their clothes
helped themselves to a cookie or two
or three, and then gone out to play,
The jar of cookies, which you thought
would last all week, has been cormilete-
ly emptied!
If you weaken for a day, we trust
that your resolutions will be reconsid•
ocred, just as the cookie jar has been

HEALTH WEEK FIRST
WEEK IN FEBRUARY
Preventable Illness Costs Appalling
Sum
The week of next February 3rd., has
been set aside by the Health League
of Canada as "Health Week", an oh-
se'rvance dedicated to Canadian Nat-
ional, community and peyson-al health.
It is designed not only to draw atten-
tion to 'benefits which can be derived
from good health, but also to point out
that sickness, much of it preventable,
today is costing Canada, directly. and
indirectly, an estimated billion dollars
annually.
This ,'ens an appalling sum for a coun-
try which appears destined to become
one of the leading nations of the
world.
In promoting "Health Week" the
Health League is seeking to draw -the
attention of all citizens to methods of

Divisions and Branches of the-Can-
adian Red Cross Society throughout
Canada will hold simultaneous mem-
bership appeals during the month of
March of this year.
Norman C. Urquhart, Chairrhan of
the Society's National Executive, made
the announcement, stressing the urgent
need of a large and virile membership
so that Red Cross may remain strong
in Peace as in war for the eontinuing
benefit of the Canadian people,
"Strength of the Red Cross," said.
Mr. Urquhart, "lies in its members. Be-
cause practically every sixth person,
man, woman or child, was a member
during the war and stood solidly united
within the organization, it was possible
for Red Cross to develop its great war
undertakings which brought help, com-
fort, and, in many cases, life itself to
our fighting men all over the world.
What Red Cross did in war, it can do
in peace, providing its membership
continues strong and vigorous."
Canadian Red Cross plans to spend
approximately $4,009,000 on mainten-
ance arid expansion of peace-time work

By Harry J. Boyle
Last week I went to the city, The
train dropped me off in the early morn-
ing and I had an appointment for early
afternoon. 1 had nothing to do and no
place to go and the experience of being
alone and just walking and watching
pe'Ople taughtine a great deal. I have
come to the conclusion that the 'city is
a' lonesome place full of, lonely people.
Firit of all there' was, the lunch
counter at the restaurant, Sleep still
sat on the faces and clung to the eyes
of the people who perched 'on the
stools. The girl with the faded blonde
hair sat stirring her coffee and just
staring across into space. The coun-
terman' wiped the counter with a cloth,
rearranged the sandwiches in the. in-
verted glass bowls, filled the urn with
water and performed countles's tasks
with an almost vacant look.
Finally he stopped and said to the
girl, "what's the matter, kid?" She just
kept on stirring and said, "I feel lou-
sy." He lifted his eyebrows and scrap-

away this morning. We had a party
for him last night." The counterman
stopped to w,„ipe his hands on his ap-
ron, "is Joe going to the away long?"
The girl sipped the coffee and winced.
"I dunno if he's ever comin' back.- Says
he'll be back but you know the old
saying about bein - out of sight, out of
mind."
An old man in a faded coat sat be-
side me, half dozing over a newspaper,.
which he must have picked up some
place. Because I'm a country man and
folks in the country talk to strangers,
I asked him how he was feeling. He
looked surprised and said lie was al-
right,. The conversational ice being
broken we talked about the weather
and politics and the war and atonsic
bombs and the treachery of Japs. Fins
