Cross V • States That Canada is To Be Remembered Canada's contributions to the feed- ing of the British people during the war will not be forgotten when post- war trade policies are under discus- sion, William Mebane, parliamentary secretary to the British Ministry of Food said at, a press conference last week: in Ottawa. Hesaid he was unable to speak for the government but certainly the ev- ents of the war would influence his. own attitude and that of many others on such questions, v St. Paul's Harvest Services St. Paul's had a memorable, day for its Harvest Thanksgiving Servic- es Iast Sunday. the Church Guild, tin- der the leadership of Mrs. Fred Ford, drew many favourable comments en 'the attractive decoration of the church with fruits and flowers and vegetables, Mrs. Nevins, of London, took the solo part in the anthem; singing in addition a solo at each ser- vice." Her rendering of the "Holy City"'was an inspiration. Rev. E, Me- Goun delivered two of his usual robust and inspiring messages that in the morning on "Christian Patience" and evening on "Conscription and Ser- vice,' He was kept busy all day re- ceiving the warm welcome of a host of friends. The organist and choir gave splendid leadership in the sing- ing and the ritual of the service. V Penicillin Being Used in Clinton Hospital Penicillin, which takes its place alongside the sulfonamides as a dead- ly enemy of infection and disease, is being with use d success in one case at the Clinton Public I•lospital. The pa- tient, a young airman's wife, residing here had been ill for two weeks with streptococcal septicaemia and pulmon- ary atelectasis, a complication of the disease, Treatment with sulfathiazol and soludagenani hoc' not proved ef. festive even in heavy doses, Dr. J. A. Addison in consultation with Dr. W. A. Oakes decided to try the new drug. Dr. Edmund Sehute and Dr. Keith, Stewart, London, had pre- viously been called into Consultation. A supply of the drug was secured and after the first treatment last Thurs- day the patient's temperature dropped to normal. Hee condition now is re- ported -as satisfactory, although she is still dangerously ill. Another powerful bactericide to em- erge from World War II medical pro- gress is penicillin. In medicine, war retards the progress of new ideas, but•it does provide an elaborate lab- oratory to test out ideas previously e d velopel and to hasten their matur- ity. Enormous interest has been stim- ulated by the discovery of the drug. penicillin (pronounced • penisillin), which provides an example of how war may affect medicine. Our supply of this drug comes from the United Stat- es andit is distributed carefully for medicai investigation, but it is obvious that penicillin as a discovery is at least as important as the sulfonam- ides. With the matter of under=produc- tion no longer a hindrance to civilian use;. penicillin will be used against the sante diseases that the sulfonam- ides combat—with several additional advantages. It can be used at any. stage of the progress of a disease, not just at the beginning. Above all, it is effective .against, a wider var- iety of bacteria thanthe sulfonamides and will therefore be a• commoner way to fight them: all. It has already e dy bean 'found, how- ever, that as with the sulfonamides, bacteria may become resistant to pen- icillin, but resistance to the one drug does not carry over to the other, so that two powerful bactericides will be at the disposal of the physician after. the war, SEPT. 23, 1943 THE HOME PAPER Engagement Aimounced Mr. Win. Murphy, Blyth, wishes to announce the engagenient of his only daughter, Estella Kathleen Marie to John Louis Adams of Londesboro, youngest son of Henry Adams and the late Mrs. Adams.
