News of .the Hospital For
Sick Children
The dairy industry of Ontario has
undertaken to raise i ase fromitsmember-
ship sufficient funds to cpmplete and
equip the research laboratories in :the
new Hospital for Sick Children,
which hospitel authorities estimate
will cost approximately' $200,000.
This will forma the industry's contri-
bution to . the Hospital's $'8,000,000
building fund appeal, taking place in
Ontario.
The announcement of the dairy in-
dustry's contribution to the new hos-
pital was made today in a bulletin
to members from the provincial com-
mittee urging them to subscribe gen-
erously to the appeal so that the obs
jective can be reached with a minim-
um of delay.
"If the total objective of $200,000
is attained the eommittee has been
assured by the hospital authorities
that a bronze plaque, as a perpetual
acknowledgement of the support acc-
orded this worth project by the dairy
industry of Ontario, will be .erected
in a suitable place in the new hospit-
al," the bulletin said.
The committee points out that much
of the progress made by the industry
in the processing of its products is
"justifiably attributable to the nut-
ritional research' by the Hospital for
Sick Children."
"It was in this hospital," the bulle-
tin states, "that the first pasteurizer
was installed, the forerunner of com
pulsory pasteurization in Ontario. It
was here also that extensive research
in respect to nutritive and curative
value of milk and milk products has
been, and will continue to be, carried.
on, The results of these studies
have bee passed 'on to
ndoctors dent-
ists,,
nutritionists, nurses, etc., throu-
ghout Ontario and the rest of the
world. The culmination of all this,
is definitely reflected in the ever up-
ward •trend of consumption .of dairy
products."
Despite lack of facilities the Hos-
pital's research' department is highly
praised by the committee's bulletin
which says, "The potential .value .of
a modern, adequately equipped labor-
where,the ,scope , of nutritinal re.
research could be ,broadened to include
exploration, into possible ;new uses,
for milk, far exceeds the objective
in the light of what has already been
accomplished with the inadequacy, of
present facilities."

"A Wonderful DDeam"
I dreamed a dream the oth r night,
That my life was all anew;
And all my grief had passe away,
I had nothing' left to rue
My life it seemed completer changed,
And living it was sublim9; The "World" it seemed a blieeful place
As there wasn't any crime.
T thought that I was young again,
And I was going to school;
I 'had no fights or quarrels there,
I obeyed .the "Golden Rule."
I fancied that I was happy,
Wherever I chanced to go;
Whether it was in summer lands,
Or regions of frost and snow.
I seemed like a "happy -medium,"
As with Inc all things were right;
Whether they were dark and dismal,
Or otherwise fair and bright.
I thought that I was taking a trip,
Traveling 'the World around;
At times I journeyed by aeroplane,
Sometimes motored on the ground.
I beheld, happy playful children,
Ina land of bright flowers;
I pictured the "Garden of Eden,"
Moistened• with timely showers.
I fancied there was no sickness,
No more aches or any pain;
I quite forgot all my past life,
I felt T was young again.
I dreamed that all were soeialable,
And met each other as friends;
There was no slang or slandering,
And no one to make 'amends,
All people appeared, as righteous,
'So there was no need of ,bail;
And 'as there were no criminals,
I didn't notice •a jail.
I imagined that I was wealthy,
And had much money in store;
I thought. that I was charitable,
As no longer was I poor.
Myspirit drifted "Heaven -ward",
While playing a "golden harp;'
For I had been a musician,
I liked.music soft,not sharp.
But somehow licame awakened,
From niy inspiring dream;
And finding out it was not true,
I was almost caused to scream.
But although. my dream had Passed
away,
And I wish' that it were true;
T ice red then a"Golden Age,"
,'
When mankind would live anew.
"When all the cruel wars, are ended,"
And "Peace on Earth" shall reign;
And the many fallen heroes,
Have not passedaway in vain.
•
When all will have fellow -sympathy,
And all contented will be;
When all our cares have passed away,
And all our troubles will flee.
When all men will as brothers be,
And will let ill will go by;
And when all women will, as 'sister be,
In the coming,'- Bye - and - Bye,
