Come to think of .it, the medical
profession is about the only one that
is doing its 'best to reduce its own
income. Its members are constantly
advocating the prevention, rather
than the cure, of disease. Yet the
general acceptance of this advice can
only mean fewer patients and thus
lower professional revenue.

it is wise to be big hearted in all

recently where financial help was
needed he dug down in his pocket
and produced a two -dollar bill, in-
strueting the head of the house to
give one dollar to the nurse in at-
tendance and one dollar to buy some-
thing for the wife. Shortly after-
wards the entire two dollars, disap-

CLINTON LOST IN FINALS
Whitby won the final series of the
Intermediate B. O•H.A. from Clinton,
taking two straight games, Friday
night in Oehawa 12-5, and in Kitoh-
ener on Tuesday night 0-3. Despite
their defeat on Friday night the Colts
tried hard at Kitchener and were
leading at the end of the second -per-
iod 3-2, but Whitby were not to be
denied and came through strong in
the last period. Clinton is a young
team and deserve much praise for
their splendid showing this season.

WOMEN IN PULPITS
Opinion differs throughout Canada
as to whether women should occupy
church pulpits. Not long ago Mani-
toba ministers voiced ,their approval;
the Middlesex Presbytery of the
United Church of Canada, meeting
in London, voted against the oydin-
ation of women. The decision was
very close though, the standing vote
being 4Q to 38. The narrow margin
points to a growing sympathy for
women preachers'.
Many churchmen contend that • the
fair sex is better fitted for the role
of missionary or deaconess. Others
say certain women would make ex-
cellent pulpit orators. Without tak-
ing sides, one may say there isn't
any doubt but that some would
preach first class sermons.

GREAT FAITH IN THE FUTURE
OF CANADA
In every letter coming from Tier
bent Casson, well-known financier of
England, and formerly of Mabchell,
he stresses the fact that there is a
great immediate future for this Can-,
ada of ours. Read what he says in a
note to Harry Chapman this week:
"net every Canadian needs just
now is a hit of foresight. He needs
to look ahead and see the greater
Canada of 1949.
"Every Canadian who has a bit of
money should buy land and -Canadian
securities from pessimists.
"Canadians should bet on themseI-
ves,• They should put up their money
and play the game. Canadians should
sing `Somebody's polishing the sun;
everything is coming ener way.'
"The man in Canada .today who
has nerve will in ten year's time

RUNS IN STOCKINGS
It says in the: New York Sun'that
the United States Bureau of Stan-
dards uses an improved machine for.
testing hosiery. This leads the New
York Sun into a chaste little brit in
its editorial columns upon runs in
stockings. It seems that this ma-
chine shows that laundering, dyeing,
ageing, finishing and construction all
have a great effect on the .. dura-
bility of the stockings en repeated
di tention " Thus, it appears, the
researches of the bureau in knitting,
"deguntming,"' dyeing, finishing,
ageing, latinciering, redyeing, . refin-
ishing, etcetera, are helpful on the
great subject of runs in stockings.
But the New York Sun thinks ,that
when a woman discovers a run in her
stocking she. doesn't think' of what
the bureau is doing.
What we feel like saying about
allthis is that, God bless, our souls.

PASSING OF THE SPINSTER
Like the Aztecs and Amazons, the
"old maids" are a vanished race. A
literary searching party sent into
the field for the latter by one of the
woman's magazines found some evi-
dences that they once existed and
traced some legends that have been
handed down from generation to gen-
eration.

past marrying age, but they are no

and unblessed.

maids profess preference for, their
