Although we have not heard quite as much about it in the last few days,it is said to have at- tained a membership of more than a hundred thousand in the past two weeks. As there is no initiation fee and it price of admission, no doubt the League will continue to grow in membership, perhaps for some time to come. But there are so many bids •. for public attention these days, one can never tell about that with any certainty. , We have no intention of disparag- ing is'paraging the Lague, its aims or its ob- jects. We can not see where it will 'do any harm, even if it does not ac- complish much good: But, if the chief object of its pro- moters, as has been stated, "is to get the people to interest themselves in their own business," we might be forgiven for expressing a doubt as to whether the public interest will be sustained long enough for t h e League to accomplish its end. • As long as human nature continues to run as it always has run, men and women, perhaps, to an even greater extent, will think it far more import- ' ant, and find a great deal more plea- sure in interesting themselves in other people's business than they will in interesting themselves in their owti. Trying to put a spoke in some one else's wheel has come down through history, as the most popular sport of mankind, and this age is no different to any other. That thought or in- tent, we believe, forms the motive power behind the sending of half the League coupons, with which Members of Parliament are being -swamped. And the other half, we would say, reached Ottawa because of the entire lack of thinking on the part of the senders, or simply as a harmless joke. • That Would "Be A Start One of Premier Hepburn's first sitatements after his return to the Parliament building at Toronto from his holiday trip to Australia, was a proposal to reduce the number of On- tario constituencies from ninety-two, as at present, to .seventy-two. We all know that government is costing us far, far too much money at the present time;' and any move on the Premier's part will be apprec- iated by the taxpayers. Reducing the number of members, of course, would be a start in the right direc- tion, but it is open to question whe- ther Premier Hepburn has chosen the right place to make a start. A reduction of eighteen members would effect a saving of thirty-six thousand dollars a year in members' indemnities. But would that sum reach the treasury intact, or would it reach the treasury at all? Reducingthe number of members means increasing the size of the con- stituencies. It would mean more than that. It would mean that many constituencies in, the country would be so Iarge, that the constit'uenty would be without personal knowledge of their member and would be with- out the personal touch that now marks the relationship of the two. It might even mean that some country constituencies would be so large that few local men could afford to contest elections) in them. That would leave the field exclusively for nen of wealth, or moderate wealth, And ''there, ,are `few of either elass in 'country, or professional politi- ':.in. the ttploy of monied inter - 'e e nter -'e+ nee may not have taught abtit it has at least pohitd ir5 11:r iH�r�Y%^7lPJtt:weittiekmant, t •. _ expensive government. When a lo- cal member is personally known to every constituent, he has a pretty ac- curate knowledge of public opinion. He can play favorites and do ques- tionable things, of course, but he can only do it once. If he is a wise man, and most of them are, he watches his step and watches it very care- fully too. That is why country constituencies have had little to do in creating the rising cost of government. There are few government positions in the counties, and those few are both im- portant and responsible ones, but the cost of maintaining them has not risen with the years. Can as much be said of the city constituencies, or can as much be said' of the Parliament Buildings themselves!? As a matter of fact if Premier Hepburn wants to get down to 'brass tacks in the matter of econ- omy in government spending, there is a every general opinion that the place to start is in the Parliament buildings. There would be no sense of em- ' playing a fine tooth comb in the cleaning out process. Such an imple- ment would get stuck fast in the door -of the first office. What is required ° is some dynamite and a flock of big power shovels. • Sports Top Money Maker There is a pile of money being made out of sport these days, as well as a pile of money being put into it. We, who are the spectators, are the ones who put in the money, and those keen men of business, the sport promoters, are the ones who take the money out. But keen men of business as they are, the sport promoters do not get away with all of it. They have to pay the players more or .less depend- ing on the kind of sport. 'Profes- sional hockey players are brittle and expensive. Professional baseball players are, perhaps, less brittle, but still more expensive, while profes- sional—and most amateur—players in football, lacrosse, tennis and other lines of sport, all have their price tags. But the top of them all, the high- est paid athlete, male or female, in the whole world to -day, is the charm- ing little Norwegian ice-skating star, Miss Sonja Henie, who thus far this year has been acclaimed by three- quarters of a million people who have seen her on the ice. - Starting a tour in Hollywood last November, which took her across the American continent, she skated be- fore fifty-eight audiences in twelve cities before she reached New York. For each of these performances Sonja received five thousand dollars. In Chicago and New ' York, where twenty thousand people saw her several nights in a row, she received a good deal more than that. That is doing pretty well• for z diminutive little lady, but it is not all by any means. There are royalties of one kind and another. Royalties from Sonja Henie sweaters, skates, ski suits and various other 'things, not forgetting Sonja dolls, which re- tail at from three dollars and a half to twenty-five dollars, and sell in thousands. Great as the income from these re- sources is, Sonja Henie is not de- pendent on it alone. She has still other string to her bow, and very strong strings they are too. She plays in two motion pictures every year and for each one she is paid some two hundred thousand dollars. All together her annual income run to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, or more. And that is real money, even for sport's top money maker. But Sonja does not get all the money. The sports promoters got a little too. The attendance at each of the fifty-eight performances between Hollywood and New York ranged from six to twenty thousand, and the price i. of admission ranged from a dollar and ten cents to four dol- lars and forty cents. In Madman Square 'Gardens New York, the gate receipts for six per- formance's were two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, and across the continent the same re- cepts reached the pleasant totalof one Millions six hundred thousand ,dollars.

Uoyls) 0 STABLE OBSERVATIONS When I finished the chores busy I sat down on the bag of Chop at the end of the centre passageway fur a smoke. It's contrary to orders to smoke in the barn, but there was a pail of water at my, feet and I felt only partly guilty. Suchansuch, the Collie• pup, sat down and watched with his headcock- ed one side as I lit thte pipe. He wait- ed for a moment or two, got up and turned around a couple of times, yawned and then lay down with• his (muzzle sitting in between his fore- paws . , . partly asleep, but with one eye ready to flick open at the least sound. Tabby, our veteran mouser and kitten -raiser, sneaked in over the top of the chop -box and began rubbing en • my sleeve. After' seeing that I didn't intend to pet her up, she sat back disgusted and began) to diligent- ly wash her face. It's one of the most fascinating experiences in the world, to watch a cat licking her paws and then smoothing downs her face and as' it seems . , - removing her breakfast egg from a silken chin. Fastidious , : , she's as particular as a spinster who has lived alone for fifty years. The afternoon is always scratching time in the Lazy Meadows stable. The cattle all look grateful for the rough cedar posts and wooden par- titions Those snags came in handy where there's• a hard spot to get at. Yes, I believe they would vote unani- mously against the installation of steel fixtures. After all, who ever heard of scratching ona smooth sur- face. And while the cattle are scratching themselves, the hens' here at Lazy Meadows are scratching up a little extra feed for themselves and getting in Condition for the long hatching season that's coming soon. I like to watch the little pyramids of chaff that will come trickling down from a clack in the barn floor, only to settle en the stable floor or else land au patient shrugs and resume their cud - crewing or scratching.. Tire horses are quite content to let the world go by, so long as they are allowed to stand around and eat their heads off. "Big Fellow," the sor- rel, has been peering in at me be- tween the board's . . . 40, fact he's looking through a hole that he chew- ed there himself. Big Fellow has been around Lazy 'Meadows for a long time: He's a patient, docile sort of fellow who is 'always a friend when the children want to take him for a ride or to draw the big old- fashioned cutter for a ride over to the schoolhouse for a concert or dance. He lumbers along, sort of slow com- pared to the driver, but he's sure and occasion'alLy if demanded he can break 'into a burst of speed fit to take your breath away. Buttineky, our Bolshevist goat, is trying to get something stirred up as usual. First of all, he tried to batter the latch off the calf pen, so that they could run havoc ambn•g the pas- sageways. I chased him) out of. there, and the first thing I know he was taunting Redbeard, the boar who is located at present in the cornerback box stall. There's a sorb of perverse nature in Buttinsky that just won't let him leave well enough alone. No -matter how well you treat him. he's •always biding his time until he can, slam you one froth the back. He tries to incite the other members of the Lazy Meadows stable staff to revolt. Sometimes he succeeds, and when a general insurrection comes along he slips .blithely away from the scene and tries , to get the ones not 'engag- ed in the fray in the heat of it. He's a born trouble maker, and I suppose that's why we call him Buttinsky,.•our Bolshevist goat. The afternoon' wears on, and we have to stop our drowsy conteanpla- tion. Somehow, it always seems silly to me when I hear people saying that nothing ever happens on a farm. There's more going on right under your nose than you realize. But as Pat said when he met the skunk, "It's AiMel Objections to Pasteurization Toronto, Feb. 21, 1939. The Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: I read with much inter- est from: week to 'week the eaprele cions ore various topics which appese in, The Expositor card none the less your views on pasteurization' of milk.. 1 am not so much concerned with the character of the legislation adopt- ed last year by the Government on this subject as I ass with 'the funda- mental value of pasteurization in pre- venting disease; The latter, it seems to me, is the crux of the •prroblem. You say that "the general opinion. in the country ''districts seer ms to be that the compulsory tuberculosis: test- ing of cattle, and not pasteurization: of milk, l's the answer to check the spread of disease." If, and I am not in a ;position to deny the statement, this is rural opinion, it is time that the holdiers of this opinioa should be disillusioned. It is the duty of those who are in a position to contradict this view, to endeavour to do so. No one can do this better than the edi- tors of nerwepaPers if they are pose seised of -the facts. The testing of cattle against tuber- culosis is a wise step in aiding the prevention of bovine tuberculosis.. It is not a. complete preventive even if the Measure covered all the stock "ire Ontario, for it is well known that among the users of milk from accred- ited ;tamals, bovine tuberculosis has been known to occur. A farmer in this province possessing an accredit- ed herd and whose children were us- ers of the milk from the do'mestie supply', was horrified to find that four out of his five eh'iI'dren bad acquired - tuberculosis Let us assume that the testing of cattle will prevent more or less com- pletely the incidence of bovine tuber- culosis among: the users of milk. Such a result would be of high value, but it falls very short of the ideal. Bovine tuberculosis is but one of the many diseases carried by milk, Undulant fever is another. To this might be added a long list, ''including diphther- ia, scarlet fever, typhoid, septic sore throat and infantile diarrhoea. Rural children are quite as suscep- tible to these affections, indeed- more, so, than the children of the large towns and cities. Surely the children of the countryside are just as deserv- ing of protection against disease as are their city cousins! Cost need not be considered in the solution of the problem. The cost of pasteurization is not, as you suggest, two or ,three cents (I presume you mean per gallon) but no more than from one-half to one cent per gallon_ In this connection I am in complete agreement , with you in your view. namely, that the producer should not be called on to bear the added cost of pasteurization. It should be borne by the users of milk. Pasteurized milk is worth the additional coat. From a somewhat extended knowl- edge of rural women, 1 am of the opinion that they are just as jealous of the rights of their children as wo- nleoi elsewhere. 'What they will de- sire to know- is, how their little ones. nay be fortified) against milk -borne preventible disease. They should he taught, not to question the value •of a pr -owed preventive measure, but how that measure may be made available to them. The local housewife may pasteurize )her own supply with a minimum of cost and trouble: She should place the household supply for her children in a double boiler, heat the milk to 145 deg. F., keeping it at this) tempera- ture for 30 ,minutes. The milk should )then be cooled to a temperature of 40 to 50 dreg. F., and kept at this temperature• until used. If the house- wife will do this she may snap her fingers at, not only bovine tuber- culosis, but at all the other forme of milk -borne disease, insofar as milk is concerned. Some will call this a great trouble. It is a trouble added to the list of household activities, but it is in>fln4te- ly less of a trouble than the care of a child afflicted with tuberculosis of the hip or knee, or of one strickenr with undulant , fever, -scarlet fever diphtheria or s'umaner complaint. The mothers know. Let us help them. JOHN W. S. McCU'LLOUGAi,. M..D., D.P.H. the top of the cattle.

As he lay on, the field of agony, the best he could -hope to see was the old yellow 'hospital flag com- ing, with its associations of quaran- tine and death. For in 1862 no one had yet looked upon the blood -bright emblem of the Red Cross - A woman's fece appeared above him, a 'human angel with dark corn- pasetonate eyes, tender mouth and hands like his mother's. Save his own mother there was no person in the world •he would have been so glad to see. For he recognized his old teacher, Miss Barton, ClareBarton of the low, sweet voice; who by sheer cJomrad)esrhlr had conquered the h'ob- bled'eh•oy toughs) taller than she. Clara Barton, whom everyboely loved. With a sob the boy flung his left arm around her neck and buried 1} s face in the cloak of She pitying wo- man. "bo you know me?" be cried, "I am Charley Hamilton, who used) to carry your satchel home from school! Charley's right arm, she saw, would never carry a satchel again. At her call, stretcher-bearers came for Char- ley. Across the field a surgeon's lan- tern wavered toward them. So this little woman — she was scarcely more than five feet tall, 40 years of age, slender, nervous), al- most morbidly responsive to suffer- ing—daily uffer- ing daily aid) hourly met the man- made agonies of w-ar. In) Civil War tunes no mere lady ever dreamed of nursing at the front; husbandhunting ninnies were turned back every day. The army nurses seldom left' the base hospitals, where only a small fraction of the wounded) ever arrived. Clara Barton, the future founder of the American Red Cross, went out on the field. She belonged to 1 or- ganization, had no official stane ing, and reached the desperately wounded only by ba'ttiin'g for passes and against the preoccupied resristanree of gener- als, surgeons, the Sanitary Commis- sion, quartermasters and supply -train drivers. She was simply a compas- sionate woman who, •sometimes. as - sated by a few other women, some- times hindered by her friends),fought the pitched battle of Mercy against Mars.

She bad admirers, bue no su'tors whom elle took very ser- iously. In sl>':te of her intense asinin- ity she was no clinging -vine. Her face was lit by knowing humor; she had too much will and intellect for most men. From her father, an old India -fight- er, she had eaier'sd an exceptional mastery of military affairs. She knew a major from a colonel, she remem- bered regiments by their numbers, listened Without a blush to the blue swearing of ,_army muleteers beside .her on th�agon trains. Unlike most woman in wax -time, she never con- sidered bersett an exception to mili- tary orders.; she went where she was told, and troubled to obtain the right sort of passport. Military men quick- ly came to perceive all this; regi- ments recognized; her, and cheered ther as she trudged past them in the min, going up to the front with band- ages, fruits, jellies, messages from home. In the early days of the Civil War, Clara -Barton, then a clerk is the Pat- ent Office 'at the capital, had etra,rted to visit wounded men in the hospi- tals, cheering them up, writing let- ters for then, reading home town newspapers to them. After the first Batt'l'e of Buil Run, she began to re- alize that every hour elapsing be- tween a wound and arrival at a -base hospital increases, in geometrical ra- tio the likeld)bood of death. Men who might have been saved if their forces Iliad been rallied at the start were hopeless cases before they reached the operatiaug table. She eaw men whol bad been waiting so ling in the stretcher queues that their feet had rotted off from gangrene- She decid- ed her work of mercy was needed most right on the battlegrounds where the ,wounded lay neglected: Behind her Clara Barton had at first only two slim organizations—a group of women in Worcester, and another in Bordentown), N. J. (where she had once started a school for neg- lected guttersnipes), against the dis- dainful opposition: of the select priv- ate institutions). Before she, went in- to the battlefields she journeyed through New England,, :organizing, as- suring herself of •supplies, She used her own mloney without thought.
