(Northern Pileated Woodpecker)
The Pileated Woodpecker is a startling bird.
So spectacular is his appearance that he has
long been a target for guns in the hands of
thoughtless people. As a result he is becoming,
Tare in many sections 'of Canada.
He should be protected. Besides being highly
decorative and the largest Canadian -
woodpecker, the Pileated is extremely valuable.
He destroys millions of wood insects and
'provides nesting sites for tree-dwelling ducks.

Living
Our modern world is a complex and at times confusing place in which
to live. We pursue our daily labours at an ever increasing tempo; we
reap our pleasures in the same fashion.
But when we want to relax from all the turmoils of life our simplest
and most enjoyable hour of the day comes when we sit down in our
own living room—to listen to the radio—to tell the children stories be-
fore bedtime—to read an interesting- novel—or just close our eyes and.
do nothing.
Is not this, then, adequate reason why we need the best that our modern
world can provide in the way of comfort in our homes?
A new easy chair, a restful studio couch, or chesterfield suite from
&lima's Mildmay will provide the =dun way to better living.
Drop in today or phone our store. We arel sure to have something
that will please the eye—and the pocketbook.

without hesitancy. This time I had
semi private quarters, four patients
in one large room, One of the guests
had spent most of his life farming,
though in his youthful day he had
worked in the woods taking out tim-
ber, He knew his agriculture and the
changes which had taken place in
the last half century. He had a keen
insight into what was happening in
agriculture. We did the most of the
talking in that room!
What do you do in a hospital? You
do as you like, talk with the other
patients, read If you so desire, forget
about your work, this is important!
chaff the nurses, sleep at any time,
day or night. If you can do these
things and do them well you are
apt to make a rapid recovery. A
change in thought and attitude ex-
erts a salutary influence.
I figured it all out mentally in my
last day in hospital! I reached in the
end certain cheerful conclusions.
Since I graduated from college 46
years ago I have spent 13 days in the
hospital. This works out at roughly
7 hours a year for 46 years, Even a
poor man can afford to waste that
much time loafing in a hospital.
What about the food? It was good,
plentiful and well served. There were
three square meals a day and a few
extras thrown in if you felt the need.
I wonder how the staff keeps track of
it all. My card was marked "bland
diet," In the same room was a pat-
ient whose condition called for a "salt
free" diet. One day I asked the dieti-
cian how she kept track of the vari-
ations. The answer I got was "It's all
very simple, you couldn't possibly go
wrong with it." She hadn't the slight-
est idea how far I could go wrong in
preparing food for people in a hos-
pital.
The nurses have at times a diffi-
cult task. They will tell you blandly
that they have no trouble at all, or at
least very little. It seems that all the
patients are just lovely, especially
the babies. The babies themselves
agree, with this. I take it from tha
hospital record that 2,384 babies were
born in the hospital last year ,and,
according to the babies, they liked it
and cried when they took them away.
My mind goes back to the family
doctor in my old home town. He knew
nothing of modern equipment. He
never heard of the X-rays. He turned
out at all hours, day or night. He
lacked the scientific knowledge of the
modern doctor. There was no great
effort in preventive medicine in those
days but he did what he could and
from that pioneer effort there devel-
oped modern medical science.
Ys, it's costly. The modern nnspi-
tal has a tremendous equipment, a
large staff, The modern doctor re-
quires a vast amount of study before
he is allowed to practice. True, rviien
he can concentrate his patients in
one hospital, it saves a great deal of
time. Hospitals suffered greatly, at
one time, from uncollectable bills.
Last year 1950, 67% of all pail ad-
missions into the Ottawa Civic Hos-
pital were by Blue Cross or some
other form of insurance, M•Aern
medicine has given us a longer lease
of life. The facts speak for them-
selves. Here they are:
General mortality and infant mor-
tality (deaths per thousand live bir-
ths) are as follows: General mortality,
(Average) 1926-30, 11.1; General Mor-
tality, 1950, 9.0; Infant Mortality,
(Average) 1926-30, 93.0; Infant Mor-
tality, 1950, 41.0; Maternal Mortality,
(Average) 1926-30, 5.7; Maternal Mor-
tality, 1950, 1.1.
There is the general record. Our
hospitals, the medical profession and
don't forget the nurses have render-
ed substantial service to the nation.
It cost a lot but it was we
the price.

MARTHA SAYS. . . .
If she goes to town on Monday she
finds the grocery stores closed in or-
der to give their employees a five-
day week.
If she goes on Wednesday she finds
the hardware stores closed for the
same reason.
If she goes on Saturday she finds
several kinds of business places clos-
ed, also in the interests of the five-
day week.
That leaves only three days in the
week on which she can expect to
transact the week's business in the
local town.
The next time she goes to town, if
it happens to be a day on which the
book stores are open, she intends to
buy a copy of the latest translation
of the Bible and see if the command-
ment, "Six days shalt thou labour"
was intended for farmers only.

Have you ever been in a hospital
as a patient, I mean? My experience
is not very wide I went West in
1905, lived in Vancouver for two
years, moved to Calgary and lived
there until 1927. In that 22 years I
was never in a hospital, as a patient,
I mean, I had only one call from a
doctor. 'Flu" struck me in Calgary
in 1919. Our family doctor called,
shook a finger at me and told me to
stay in bed, keep my hands and
arms under the clothes and left me
with a veiled threat that if I didn't
do as I was told, well, he wouldn't
be responsible, I made a quick recov-
ery just to oblige the doctor!
In 1927—I was married in 1910—We
moved to Ottawa, In 1946 I was a
patient in our Civic Hospital, The
doctor told me I had anaemia. I had
a morbid dislike of hospitals. I got
over that in short order. There were
no over-flowing hospitals in those
days, I had a private room. I suffered
no pain, slept well, enjoyed my meals
and made a rapid recovery. I went
back to the hospital a few weeks ago
with a touch of the old trouble. I am
out again, feeling fine.
One change has taken place, I no
longer dread a hospital. If I were ser-
iously ill I would go to a hospital

HOW TO WIN THE PRIZE
before the race is run!
The
LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANIES IN CANADA
W atch Jimmy go!
He's mighty fleet on his feet. And
you can just bet that he'll win first
prize in this race.
Some day Jimmy will grow up
and get married. Then he'll discover
that one of the prizg he wants most
to win is financial security for his
family. But he'll be able to win this
prize "before the race is run" — with
lite insurance.
For, you see, the full protection of
life insurance begins the moment you
make your first premium payment.
And those premiums can help you
win some of the "prizes" that savings
provide — such as a college education
for the youngsters or a new home.
Nowadays the savings you can
make with life insurance are more
important than ever. For, like all
savings, they help to check inflation.
And, because they are long term
savings, their inflation-checking
power is all the greater.
So keep up your premium pay-
ments. Add new life insurance as you
need it. And save money every way
you can!
