A Task For The New Year
There is one resolution which all
of us can keep -a resolution to do
our part for personal and community'
health.
Canada's 'health problem offers so
many avenues of approach, that the
greatest possible improvement would
indeed be a tremendous tank. So
numerous, however,are the opportun-
ities awaiting each and every one,
that even a partial advance constit-
utes a challenge to municipal, pro-
vincial and federal authorities as well
as to the individuals.
A health resolution that the private
citizen might well make at this time
of the year is that during 1939, he
will watch his own and the health
of the family 'and that he will cau-
tion all in his household to exercise
greater caro. If every individual did
his part, there would be less deaths
in 1939 from 'preventable diseases,
from drownings, from motor car and
other accidents.
The individual, too, could contribute
to the general good of his country
by identifying himself with move-
ments calculated to protect the health
of the. public. He could use his hi -
fluence to bring about many reforms;
For example,altogether al ogether too few
municipalities in Canada employ full-
time medical officers of health. It
is a penny-wise pound-foolish policy
to "save" a few dollars in a muni-
cipal health department and risk en-
demics of infectious diseases or econ-
omic loss front other preventable ,i11 -
basses,
Province and Dominion can ap-
propriate money for greater research
for preventive equipment and for oth-
er means of cutting down the cost of
illness—money that would be return-
ed tenfold in the saving of lives. The
improvement in Canada's health re-
cord during the past quarter century
is something to be peond of. But it
is also a proof of what can be done.
It should encourage Governments to
attack the problem along all fronts.
If they would join, at this time, in
the, making of health resolutions, it
is certain that we would be moving
forward towards a Canada of maxim,
um fitness.
The task is a big one but not an
impossible one. Let us resolve to un-
dertake it as one of the important
things to do in 1939!
The reeto; and his laymen were
golfing. The rector made a particul-
arly bad shot. "Don't you feel like
swearing?" asked .the layman.
"I don't" replied the rector, "but
I spit, and where ,I , spit no grass
grows."
CANADIAN CATTLE TO LITE AT NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR
Four dairy breed associations of
• Canada (Jersey, Ayrshire, Holstein-
Friesian and Guernsey) are partici-
pating in the most important dairy
cattle exhibition ever held on this
continent, It will be separately
housed in a special $500,000 building
at the New York World's Fair dur-
ing the six months commencing May
lst, 1939. Although under the
auspices of the Borden Co., which is
providing the building, the exhibition
will be controlled by the breed
associetiotts, each of them having
one vote along with the single vote
of the Borden Co. The Brown Swiss
Association of the United States is
also co-operating. -
Forty 'prize-winning Canadian
cows will be selected by the various
Associations to represent Canada.
During the World's Fair they will be
stabled under model copdition's, to-
gether with 110 animals from United
States farms. All dairying pro-
cesses, including feeding, cleaning,
milking and conditioning and pro-
cessing the milk, will be demon-
strated through glass partitions to
the public, and the produce from
the 150 -head herd will be distributed
among the 50,000,000 visitors ex-
pected at the exhibition. A novel
feature will be' the milking operation
on the famous Rotolactor, each breed,
group being shown separately on this
rotating device.
Arrangements for inclusion of the
Canadian contingent in this important
exhibit, centrally located at the Fair
Grounds, were completed in Toronto
during the Royal Winter Fair by
Henry W. Jeffers of the Borden Co.,
president of the Walker -Gordon
Farms, Plainsboro, N.J., and Glenn
Campbell, Cleveland, chairman of the
general rules committee, the govern-
ing body through which the breed
associations will exercise control of
the exhibit. The plan is that each
breed association will select repre-
sentative cattle for the exhibition and
determine for itself how each breed
is to be shown, In addition to the
cows, champion bulls and prize
calves of each kind will also be
exhibited.

SERIES DEALING WITH
LONDON'S ROYAL PALACES
Four famous royal palaces in Lon-
don—Hampton Court, St.James' Pal-
ace, Kensington' Palace, and Bucking-
ham Palace--wilI be pictured for CBC
national network listeners in a series
of programmes that the Montreal
Programme Director of the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, H. Rooney
Pelletier, will produce at Broadcast-
ing House, London, beginning the.
week of January 22. Exact times of
these broadcast will be given in the
near future.
Under the arrangement for the
temporary exchange of producersthat
exists between the Canadian and Brit-
ish broadcasting organizations, Mr,
Pelletier is spending some months at
Broadcastng House in the place of
Mr. 'Lance Sieveking, the BBC ,pro-
ducer, who in turn, is attached to the
CBC.
Hampton Court, in its lovely sett-
ing on the banks of the Thames fif-
teen miles from London, will be the
first palace to be visited. One of the
first of the royal houses, it was built
by Cardinal Wolseyearly in the six-
teenth century.
:Wolsey, losing the favour of Xing
Henry VIII, attemnpted to re-establish
himself hi the royal graces by pre,
senting his 'manor of Hampton Court'
to the King, who took possession of
it in 1529. His Majesty altered and.
enlarged the palace considerably, but
the Great Hall, the roof of the Chapel,
the famous tennis court (tennis is
still played on it) and the great
kitchen are the principal remainders
of ;ling Henry's work.
The palace was thrown open to the
public by Queen Victoria on her ac-
cession, and now over three hundred
thousand visitors pass through' the
State Rooms every year. But there
are nearly. a thousand rooms, split
into about forty-five apartments of
varying sizes, that the public does
not see. By grace and favour of the
!•signing monarch, these are allotted
to people wiho have earned distinction
in • various ways,
It is expected that the .ehimesof
the old Tudor clock in Anne Boleyn's
Gateways and a member of the tennis
club using cling Henry's court (said;
to be founded by Henry himself),
will be heard, thus helping to convey
Eng -
the unique atmosphere of one of
landle most fascinating show -places.
The Chapel Royal and the Haunted
Gallery, which, says tradition, ' is
walked by the shrieking ghost of/
Henry's executed. wife, Katherine
Howard; the Clock •Court; the Tudor 1
kitchens; the famous Vinery (the vine'
is probably the oldest in England, its 1
stern measuring eighty-one inches. in
girth at ground level) and that jay
of the adventurous, the Maze, are
also among the unique features of
which listeners may expect to hear.
