THE SMALL HOSPITAL Fear that the small hospitals of Ontario would have to discontinue as nurses' training schools has been prevalent for some time. This fear is now a thing of the past as Hon. Dr. J. A. Faulkner, Ontario Minister of Health, in addressing a Lions Club luncheon, in Goderich last week, said that he was opposed to the abol- ition of nurses' training schools in small hospitals. The small hospitals serve a most useful purpose in their respective. communities and if they were forced to carry on without the advantage of training nurses it would be a sad blow to them. In fact, many small„ hospitals would have to close, and the communities they serve would suffer a; a result. The hospital which serves the small town and rural community has a dif- ficult time to operate successfully. and if it was not for the outside sup- port they receive, could not continue to so serve the people. This announcement by Dr. Faulk- ner is indeed welcome. The small hospital requires all the support that can be given it by the department and by the citizens that it is in ;a po- sition to serve. * * * THE TRANSIENTS At the convention of the Mayors of Ontario held in Hamilton last week, one of the problems that came up for discussion was 'the transients'. It was a natural thing that this sub- ject come before them for discussion as this problem has been an acute one for some few years and has been steadily growing worse. There are so many men now that have been wandering about the coun- try for years that they have no place to call home and if this .condition continueswe will raise an army of wanderers that for years io come will present a social problem that will be very difficult with which to deal. A proposal strongly favored at this convention was that camps be estab- lished in the province to prevent the workless men drifting from place to place and becoming a burden on the community. This would stop this wandering and the men could be put to some useful task so that instead of becoming habitual loafers they would be kept physically fit and in the proper spirit to carry on when times are better. The present method of letting the transient wander is wrong and some- thing has to be done about it. * * * WHEELS . . Source of Grief We have a good deal of sympathy with the point of view of Tarchin Baboo of ICalimpong. Tarchin is editor of the monthly newspaper, .the only paper published in Tibet, the title of which, translated into Eng- lish means: "The Mirror of the New Vicissitudes of Every Corner of This Universe." In his latest issue the editor, sit- ting on the roof of the world in the high Himalayas, looks . around and discovers what is the matter with the rest of us. Itis wheels. Abolish wheels and there would be jobs for everybody, he thinks. By the use of wheels, he points out, the uncivilized world outside of Tibet has made it possible for two men to do the work that takes a thousand in Tibet. As We said, we have a good deal of sympathy for the idea that we have letmachines do too much for us ,and have got out of the habit of doing things for ourselves. * * * * Conditions in the mines of Hun- gary must be very bad for the work- ers when they will stay under ground for five days in the face of death to Stress their demand for better wages, * * * * The consumption of beer in On- tario for September was nearly 100 per cent. greater than in September a year ago. The sales of liquor de- clined 11 per cent. Here is a prob- lem for someone to figure out, which is best, 100 per cent increase in beer I NO WONDER HE FELT AND LOOKED ED SO MUCH BETTER Half in fun and half because he occasionally "felt punk a college chap joined 39 other students to form a test class or clinic. It was desired to test on this class therecuperative power of a certain tonic preparation, the formula of which was known to have blood - building qualities. Like the other 39, this young man's blood was tested and the "count" of red corpuscles and red colouring matter was found well below normal. No wonder he "felt punk" at times. He was given the tonic and returned in thirty days to have his blood tested again. There was no doubt about improved health. He looked it and felt it. His blood test showed that red corpuscles and red colouring matter had strikingly increased. No wonder he felt and looked so much better. Would you like to feel better, too? Would you like to be keen again about study or work or play? Then take. this "tested tonic" which proved such a benefit to the forty college students. It restores well-being by increasing the red corpuscles and red colouring matter of the blood -those carriers in the blood stream which must be kept up to normal numbers if the person is to possess health and vitality. This tested tonic is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Easy to take whether' at borne, at college or at business. ltecornmended for all who feel run-down, overtired, nervous or "low", or are under -weight.

Phone ;27 mDmossiossm ... mommo> m this Council do now adjourn to meet in the United Church Hall on the third Wednesday in November, Carried. Isaac Gamble, Clerk, HALLOWE'EN FROLIC Broomstick -riding witches andhob gobblins will be with us this month for a night or two. Mothers will be busy making Hallowe'en party plans for ;the youngsters, thinking up tasty menus to grace the festively decorat- ed tables. It is a simple matter to entertain the children on this occasion because they take great delight in Jack -o -Lantern pumpkins, black cats and other Hallowe'en symbols. A Hallowe'en party without bobbing in a tub of water for apples, trying to bite an apple suspended from the ceil- ing on a string, and blowing out a lighted candle while blindfolded, would not be a proper sort of Hallow- e'en celebration at all. Of course dec- orations ecorations will be in orange and black with touches of silver. You can make many attractive decorations in paper that will delight the little folk. A crepe paper tablecloth and napkins decorated with witches and goblins adds to the festivity, as well as place cards decorated with black cats, bats and other weird -looking . figures that fit into this scheme of affairs. Happy the youngster whose mother knows so well . what will delight little folks at the looked -forward -to Hallowe'en par- ty. And the beauty of it is that it takes so little time to make pretty things, such as paper dresses, hats, table and other decorations. Direc- tions for making dainty paper novel- ties are available in the shops where you buy your paper. And for the menu we must have Witches' Sand- wiches, pumpkin pie, Jack -o' -Lanterns, goblins, Blatck Cat Punch, and Ghost Ice Cream. Here are some recipes that are particularly appropriate for the coming holiday: Withces' Sandwiches Use a light bread with a dark fill- ing and out features out of the top layer of bread, allowing the dark fill- ing to show through. Jack -o' -Lantern Cookies 2% cups brown sugar 3 cups of flour 1 tablespoon of cocoa Juice of 1 orange 2 tspns. baking powder Chopped Nuts 4 whole eggs Mix the eggs and sugar, add nuts, orange juice and cocoa. Sift flour and baking powder and mix. Bake in a sheet in a moderate oven about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cut in round shapes and decorate with orange ic- ing. Mix confectioners' sugar with cream, until it will spread, ,flavour with orange peel, grated. Spread this all over the cookies, make eyes and nose and mouth out of melted choco- late, using a small brush or a match stick. Ghost Ice Cream This is vanilla ice cream topped for each serving with a ghost made by painting a face on a round marsh- mallow. Stick marshmallow on a toothpick. Pin a white paper napkin round it to simulate a sheeted ghost. Black Cat Punch Serve Cocoa Apples -on -a stick 12 red apples 2 cups sugar 34 cup water 12 skewers Ya cup light corn syrup Few drops oil flavoring Wash apples and dry. Put the skewer in the blossom end. Stir the sugar, corn syrup and water over a fire, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking without stirring, un- til syrup becomes very brittle when. tried in cold water. Remove from fire, add flavoring and `set the saucepan at once into boiling water. The utensil for cooking should be of a shape to allow the syrup to be deep enough to cover the whole apples, Holding the skewers, plunge into the hot syrup. Draw out quickly and tarn until the syrup spreads smoothly over the ap- ples. Stand the skewers in a rack so that the apple does not touch any- thing while hardening. The dipping must be done rapidly or the syrtip will become too stiff for, coating.

Remove coarse white skin and cut up oranges and combine or- ange shells with the mixture, cut with other ingredients. Put the covers back on oranges and serve for dessert on. first course. Jack -o' -Lantern faces are easily formed by sticking pieces of dates, figs or raisins in the soft surface to represent eyes, nose and mouth.

Government to buy and sell feeds in drought areas. The reported ob- ject of the plan is to be prepared for any emergency arising from the extra- ordinary shortage of feeds due to drought, and to provide a commercial market for crops that might go un- marketed or even unsalvaged if spec- ial marketing organization were not undertaken. A $50,000,000 corporation is being formed by the A.A.A, (Agricultural Adjustment Administration) on cap- ital furnished by the R.F.C. (Recon- struction Finance Corporation). The. new corporation will purchase feed wherever obtainable and if necessary will import from other countries. Whether the corporation will operate through existing dealer agencies or buy from and sell to farmers direct has not yet been deterinined. If the form- er method is adopted, resale prices of feeds in thei Un ted States may be fixed for the period that the corpora- tion is functioning. FAILED TO WIN AIR RACE Captain ide aviator James A.
