municable diseases,
"There are two problems that con-
front us at this time: the correction
of physical defects and the general
improvement of the standards of
health by adequate diet".
Last June, a meeting of public
health Officials and representatives of
the medical profession was held under
the auspices of the Ministry of Pen-
sions and National Health to discusst
present deficiencies in the field of'
public health and the adoption of
measures to raise the standard of pub-
lic health and medical services, This
meeting, Dr, Heagerty hails as one
of the most important public health
conferences ever held in Canada, and
declares that from it was emanating a
long-term program in' the prevention
and control of disease that should be
of particular value during war-time
and the post war period,
The individual housewife, too, has
a role in solving this national prob-
lem. It becomes her duty to be sure
her meals are well balanced and nutri-
tious, Her objective is to get as much
nutritive value as possible for the
money available. Every homemaker
should endeavour to include in the
daily menu: A pint of milk for
"each adult, a quart for each child. 2.
One daily serving of meat, liver to be
included in the menu once a week. 3.
One egg. 4. Two servings of vege-
tates, besides potatoes, one vegetable
preferably raw. 5. Two servings of
fruit, preferably one raw or a substi-
tution of tomato juice. 6. One serv-
ing of whole grain wheat or whole
wheat" bread. 7. Butter three times a
day, Nutrition experts name these as
the essentials of an adequate diet.
FOOT COMFORT TODAY
COMES BEFORE STYLE
The old admonitione "use your head
to save yotir feet" takes on new mean-
ing now that walking to save gasoline
puts a special obligation on said feet.
Foot comfort, an important factor
in general efficiency at any time; lies
in comfortable shoes, making care in
buying essential.
Decide the type of shoes most suit-
able for your particular needs, then
insist on careful fitting. Never buy
by the size of your last shoes. Stand-
ard sizes just don't exist, so have your
feet carefully measured each time,
Shop for shoes when your aren't rush-
ed and keep trying or until you get
a really comfortable pair.
Shoes that fit properly should be
half an inch longer inside than the
end of the big toe. The ball of the
foot (little toe to great toe joint),
should rest on the widest part of the
sole. The shank of the shoe should
fit snugly under the arch, and the shoe
should hug the' heel, fitting firmly at
the bottom as well as the top.
To keep shoes shapely, always in-
sert trees when they are not being
worn.

TELLS OF TERRACE
The following letter was received
recently by Mrs. Wm. Williamson and
her daughter Agnes, from. Neil Will-
iamson, who is a sergeant in the 99th
Field Battery, R.C.A., stationed at
Terrace, B.C. Neil prior to his en-
listment was on the staff of the
Advance-Times.
Terrace, B.C.
Dear Mother and Agnes:
I guess I've been a long time writ-
ing, but we're pretty busy every day,
but it will be busier from now on as
some of the-boys went home on fur-
lchigh to-day and more will be going
when they come back. Charlie Weil-
wood, Joe and Bert King left to-day
for home. It will be a while yet be-
fore I'll get another'one I guess. They
were a happy bunch when they left
here—no wonder.
We went on a hike one day and
ended up at a hot springs. It is a big
pool, planked sides and has a bath-
house with a wooden tub connected to
the pool by a pipe. We all had a hot
bath, four at a .time, it was really
wonderfull, because we don't see too
much hot water here,
Wednesday we went out to Copper
River, so called because of the copper
mines around it. There is so much
copper around there that fish won't
live, in the river. They say that not
many miles front there is ,a large
mercury deposit, the largest on the
continent. I hear there's gold in them
that' hills but so far I haven't seen
any.
On Sunday Mr. McKague and I are
going to take a few of the signallers
up to a lookout on top of a mountain.
Theeet an old man stays up there, a
fire lookout I guess, he conies down
once every 18 days for food. He keeps
a book there and everyone who gets
to the top registers in the book, Sense
of the boys have been up before, so
Were taking ap bunch of ones who
haven't been up yet.
I'm going to setid some picttires
home, but it may be a few weeks be-
fore I get thlm, h takes quite a while Ito haVe them printed here, they have
, 0 be sent Otit and tent back, and the
nail service too-kat.

NUTRITION IS OF
MOST I lVIP ORTANCE
Eighty percent of children in Can-
ada suffer from physical conditions
and defects that are associated with
malnutrition, according to Dr..3, J.
Heagerty, Chief Executive Assistant
in the public health division of the
department of pensions and national
health, writing in a recent issue of
"Cadanian Welfare". He continues:
"The rejections that have taken place
among applicants for enlistment hll.,
catea that Malnutrition IS general
among the younger generation. Ivied-
'cal services were shown to be inade-
quate and an strictly large percentage
Of the population does net receive
mittirrittiti Medical attention. The
low standard of health of the,ritth
of this'tonntry, as indictAijWp*S.,.
kat defects$ leaves them open to cont.
I suppose by the time this gets to
Wingliam, school will be over for the
summer. How the time gets along,
we're beginning on our fourth week
in this place, and we hardly knoiv our
way around yet.
We've 'been eating new potatoes
here for the last few weeks ,they sure
are a treat. Last night we went fish-
ing and got some nice trout, we cook-
ed them and had a midnight feed. The
salmon are just beginning to come up
the river, and the Indians are catch-
ing them in nets, in the evening the
boys go down and get the odd one
from them.
We are getting a bunch of new men
in the signals in another week or so,
which means I'll have a busy time for
a while getting them past the begin-
ner's stages.
We have a Y.M.C.A. picture show
started in town now, and the propri-
etor of the Listowel show donated a
radio for the gunner's mess (I helped
instal it to-night), so life will not be
quite so monotonous as it was before.
Well, I must close for now before
I run out of space. Don't work too
hard and don't forget to write now
and then.
Love,
Neil.
In another letter Neil tells' of his
trip to the mountain top as follows:
I was out on an expedition to-day to
the top of our mountain, 5000 feet. It
took 55 of us 31/2 hours to go up, two
didn't make it. The view was really
Worth, the climb, we really saw the
country around here for the first time.
We can only see a few mountains from
camp compared to what you see from
the top of this hill. We saw the
"Seven Sisters" supposed to be the
highest around ,here, they really are
wonderful. We had snowball fights,
did some: sking on the way down ,and,
altogether had a big day. I'm going
to send Jean Sothe pictures soon, and
you'll no doubt,*get a look at them.
Our rhea's have improved a lot
lately and when we get moved into
huts I guess this place won't be much
worse than the usual. It doesn't seem
to make so much difference what we
have to put up with so long as the
boys are together, that seems to be
the main thing.
