After singing of the hymn “When mothers of Salem”, the leader introduced Mrs. John Gow­ dy- of! Belmore, the guest speaker, who brought a very inspiring mess­ age to the Mothers, stressing the high honor of motherhood and- that a true mother never loses her interest in her child whether small or grown up. The giving of the flower by the children was a lesson in unselfishness, and the foundation of training should* com­ mence very early in life, helping to develop the character. Religious train­ ing should be started even before the children start to Sunday School, lit the home, and that the surrounding of a child by Prayer and religious training in the home could' work wonders later on in life.

MANY ATTEND SCHOOL MEETING School Inspector J. M. Game’s re­ cent meeting in Gorrie for trustees and rate-payers was largely attended and it is gratifying to see the increas­ ed interest being shown in education­ al affairs. Highlights among the Inspector’s address included information on the change of school grants. The general legislative grant to a school section now ignores the teacher’s certificate, but is based on (1) teacher’s salary (2) average daily attendance (3) ap­ proved equipment (The latter includ­ es expenditure on everything except fuel and caretaking.) Mr. Game stressed the importance of specializing in certain subjects and mentioned music and agriculture in particular. He paid tribute to the work being done by Miss Evelyn Ste­ phens. The chief music Inspector for the province, Mr. Roy Fenwick, has heard Miss Stephens’ class in Wrox­ eter and, the Inspector said, declared it was the best he had heard in two months. Mr. Game also complimented How- ick on having an efficient school at­ tendance officer, Mrs. Knight. How­ ick schools showed the best attend­ ance in the inspectorate, but he re­ gretted that there were three or four schools weak on equipment. Asked for an elaboration on the re­ cent Separate School Legislation, Mr. Game obliged by giving a lengthy re­ sume on the subject, but said it would not affect Howick financially, as there were no separate schools here. A vote.of thanks was given the In­ spector for his interesting address, WROXETER Miss Rona VanVelsor of Weston spent the week-end at her home here.

Everyone has a personal interest in the ever-increasing number of deaths from violence, particularly those due to motor-car accidents. Our interest is, first of all, an appreciation that we may shortly be numbered among the victims; the second thought has to do with a similar feeling with re­ gard to relatives and friends, and lastly, there is a general desire to preserve and safeguard human life. Public health authorities are con­ cerned in the preservation of life and in raising the standard of personal health. Originally, they were fully occupied with their endeavours to control the wide-spread epidemic dis­ eases; then, later on, they extended their concern to all preventable dis­ eases. During recent years, a considerable part of the ground gained has been lost due to the deaths from violence. Obviously, nothing is won by saving a child from diphtheria if he is to lose his life in a motor accident. So serious has the situation become that, in many places,, public opinion LARGE CUP FOR LITTLE MISS OF LONDON Miss Pam Barton, 19, "child prod- ' igy” of the British gold, links, is pic- j lured with the huge cup, the emblem of the women’s British golf champion- has really forced health departments to interest themselves in a problem.' which had been regarded as outside of their jurisdiction. No one is suggesting that health departments should undertake respon­ sibility for safety campaigns or for traffic regulations, The question that is asked of health departments is as to what contribution along medical lines they might make in order to help solve this serious problem, There is no single answer to a problem which arises from many causes. From a medical point of view, consideration might be given to the physical and mental competence of those applying for a driver’s li­ cense. It does seem reasonable that cer­ tain degrees of defective vision or hearing, and inability to distinguish red and green lights might be regard­ ed as handicaps which would rule out the right to a license to drive a mot­ or car. Some defects are readily recogniz­ ed and so are easily detected, where­ as others are revealed only through a careful examination. It might be advisable to consider, as a beginning, the easily detected defects in the case of all drivers, and, in the event of accidents, a. complete examination be­ fore renewal of license. The only point to this article is the question as to whether or not the public, in their own interest and for their own protection, should consider a system of requiring at least some measure of physical fitness in those who are licensed by the state to drive motor cars. Questions concerning health, ad­ dressed to the Canadian Medical lAs- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter.
