TOPICS
Health: Conservation
in War and Peace
Why should we wait until we
are faced with a serious war be-
fore we begin to take stock of
our human assets?
This challenging question is
asked in an editorial in the our -
rent issue of the magazipa
"Health", a Canadian publica-
tion.
"Why is the health and welfare
of the average young man and
Boman not an essential objective
in peace -tine as well as in war-
time?" the editorial asks.
Wlien the suggestion was made
Si1I peace time to examine the
young men of the nation to de -
tontine their fitness or their un-
rr
fiti. "im-
possible". the.r was raised m
Cy
possible".
Today, with a war on, the edi-
torial states, 'Poetical examiXne-
tdon of Candaa's young men is
proc-eeding apaee. Every
doctor
Tin Canada is a medical examiner
o
he paid by the government,
Maintains 'Health Services.
What was once eonsldered im-
possible is note being done, the
editorial says.
The editorial goes on: "When
one considers that in war the fit
are sacrifices on the altars of
Mars and the unfit left at home
a situation is discovered which
should demand the attention of
all political leaders."
The editorial commends a re-
cent statement of Hon. Harold
Kirby, Minister of Health for On-
tario, who called attention to the
importance of a concerted health
program if Canada is to prose-
cute the war efficiently.
"One wishes that other minis-
ters of health might present the
case with equal vigor", states the
editorial. 'This journal is of the
opinion that if health conserva-
tion is logical in peace -time it is
essential in war -time, and health
service is war service. If civilian
morale is to be kept at a high
revel all health services must be
maintained and indeed im.prove(l.
Education of the public to this
end should proceed forthwith."
Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBE`: 1 A LEE
1. When a husband and wife
are calling on friends, which one

2. Isn't it poor manners for a
person to take hold of another
person while talking to hint?
3.. .Should one finish a sent-
ence for another person, or sup-
ply a word, when this person
seems to grope for the right
phrase or ward?
4. "What is the proper way
for :a hostess to serve tea?
5.. When in company and a
person is seized with a fit of
coughing, .ehould be apologize?
- 6. What kind of coat should
a man wear to the theatre., in the
evening'?
.Answers
1.. Either •one may •cio so by
merely asking th.e other, "Don't
you think we had better be leav-
ing?" 2. Yea. The habit of
touching, nudging, or patting, is
frequently very annoying. 3. No.
4. The Hostess should remain
seated while pouring the tea, then
hand the culls, saucers, atad
plates to the guests. They may

and lemon, as well as to sand-
wiches and cakes. 5. Ne. When
the coughing spell has ceased

6. A tuxedo.
Bees As Messengers
The Chinese have made use of
the knowledge that as long as the
same queen bee rules the hive it
can be moved a distance of miles,
and all the bees will return to it.
This has led to the introduction
of the "bee mail," in areas oc-
cupied by the enemy. With the
help of microphotography, plans
and messages can be transcribed
on tiny pieces of paper and sent
through enemy territory attached
to the leg or wing of a bee. The
message or plan is photographed
and reduced in size, and when it
gets to its destination is decipher-
ed with the aid of a microscope.
"Bee mail" is highly successful,
for these insects travel at from
thirty to forty miles an hour
and, being almost invisible, are
far safer than pigeons.

VITAMINS CLOT BLOOD
It is predicted that the lives
of thousands of persons, particu-
larly mothers and their new-bo3'n
babies, will be saved in future
years by using a vitamin liquid
which Iooks like eod liver oil,
it is vitamin K, WIC of the
newest of the vitamin family, or-
iginally found in putrid fish and
alfalfa meal but now made syn-
thetically, which stimulates elot-
ting of the blood.
LIGHT TURNS CORNERS
American scientific wizardry
which produced a glass -like sub-
stance to make light turn corners
is declared to be saving the lives
of thousands of Londoners dur-
ing the current night bombings.
The material, made out of coal,
water and air, is synthetic glasst
known technically as a methyl
methacyrlate resin and commer-
cially as Curvlite, and has comp
into wide use in surgical opera-
tions.
Light at one end of a retractor
used to pull open surgical incis-
ions is carried around the bend
of the instrument and directly
into the operating field.
VACCINATING BRAIN
An experiment in vaccinating
the brain against infantile par-
alysis is announced to the U. S;
-National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis, Inc. The brain
is the site of this disease, and
damage to brain nerve cells the
cause of paralysis. The new
method of possible immunizing,
is now being tried on monkeys.
Hero of "Jervis Bay"
The name of Captain Fogarty
Fegen will take a prominent
place among British naval heroes
following his heroic action in
sacrificing the armed merchant
cruiser Jervis Bay to the night
of a powerful German raider su
that a convoy might slip away to
safety. Captain Fegen directed
the Jervis Bay in an attack on
the raider and held the German
ship at- bay for two hours, enab-
ling the majority of ships in the
convoy to break formation and
escape. t,Vith his arta almost
severed and suffering from mul-
tiple wounds, Capt. Fegen direct-
ed the attack until his ship plung-
ed to the bottom.

Explorers, Yes But

,T. d'. Iearney, recently retired
from service as train conductor
for the .Canadian National Rail-
ways terminating 44 years em-
ployment with the company, once
had in his train a special car car-
rying Admiral. Richard Byrd and
his associates returning through
Canada from an exploration jour-
eey within the Arctic Circle.
There was a protest from the Ad-
miral's car, they wanted "some
heat", Immediately, there was a
demand that the porter get busy,
but that functionary was the
most amazed man on the train.
"Boss," he exclaimed to Mr.
Kearney, "That carload of gentle."

HAVE -
YOU HEARD?
It was necessary for taxation
purposes to decide on which side
of the Canadian and United
States border a farm which an
eldely lady had just purchased,
actually lay. Surveyors finally
announced that the farm was on
the American side of the border.
The lady smiled with relief.
"I'm glad to know that," she
said. "I've heard that winters in
Canada are terribly severe."
If there's a. newer or bet-
1.er way of getting catsup out
of a bottle than by spanking
it on the bottom then we'd
like to know of it.
—Peterborough Examiner.
The Negro parson had been
preaching about salvation, and
concluded by saying that it was
free as water. Immediately after
the sermon came the collection.
"But, parson," objected one'of
the congregation. "I thought you
said salvation was • free like
water."
"So it is, brother, so it is,"
replied the preacher, "and so is
water. We only charge for pip-
ing it to you."
Father: "Now try and
leave the party at a reason-
able hour. No more of this

bel], and the servant answered
the door.
The next day she was worried
by a continual ringing of the
bell. At last, when ;10 one ans-
wered the door, she opened it
herself and found her servant
on the step.
"Whatever are you doing,
Li?" she asked.
"Yesterday you foulee ane, now
I foolee you," was the reply.
"Wouldn't you like to be

"No, but I'd like to be

Think About Summer
When Winter Comes
True the calendar indicates
that winter is at hand but there
are executives who must project
their thoughts into the coming
year and prepare for summer.
One such is J. Van Wyck, general
manager of the Canadian Na-
tional Railways Hotel System,
who is now an ouncing opening
dates for summer resorts for
1941. Jasper Park Lodge, which
will begin the season on June 15
and continue until September 15.
Minaki Lodge, in the beautiful
Lake of the Woods country, will
open June 21 to close on Septem-
ber 8, a week later than usual
in order to provide greater refuge
from hay fever, an ailment un-
knwon at Minaki. Pictou Lodge in
Nova Scotia will operate from
June 26 to Sept. 3, while the four
chalets in Jasper National Park,
at Maligne Lake, Medicine Lake,
Tonguin Valley and Shovel Pass,
will open on July 1 and close on
A.''gust 31.
