NEW ZEALAND "OSTRICHES"
Probably the largest and most
spectacular of all birds were the Moas
which once flourished in New ZealantE.
They became extinct during recent
times, Maas were flightless and some-
what resembled ostriches in general
form—Jong neck, small head, and fitiVits
body. Some of these birds were no ,
larger than turkeys but other varietiet,
reached a height of ten feet. An ex--•
cellent fossilized skeleton five feet
high is on exhibit in the Royal On ,
tario Museum..
Stories of New Zealand natives des-
cribe a "monstrous human-headed,
creature" that lived on thc mountain--
sides of the island interior, It is quite
possible that this tradition refers to
Moas and the Maories hunted them ha
comparatively recent time and thus,
unfortunately, contributed to their cx‘•
termination. Naturalists who have
searched for a living example have
been rewarded only by such remains
as bones and bits of skin with stringy
brown feathers httathed, buried in
swamps, in old lake beds, or bidden. Tri.

HOSPITALS, WORKSHOPS AND
ENTERTAINMENT
(Article No. 16)
by Walter R. Legge
The Canadian Army has provided
plenty of excellent hospital accom-
modation, so far, in excess of the re-
quirements. These hospitals are not
entirely for combat casualties, as the
health of the men must be kept up,
and in this war the health of the men
in the forces is looked after to a great-
er degree than ever before. Most men
are probably better looked after
medically than they would be in their
own homes.
We inspected one of the large hosp-
itals, and its equipment, this particu-
lar 'one being in charge of Col. R. M.
Harvie, of Midland, Ont., who told vs
that modern drugs were, most effective
in combating infection, usually a prob-
lem during a war.
Others on the staff whom we met
here included Capt. Francs, Lieut. J.
Braive, Major Rothwell, of Quebec
City, who is a native of Carleton.
Place, Ont., and Lieut. Col. A: W. Id,
White, of Toronto.
Some Dieppe Wounded Here
There were 221 men wounded at
Dieppe who were brought to this hos-
pital,,and we talked with some of them
including Desmond Kelly, of Montreal,
Tom Watt of Shaunavon, Sask„ H. A.
Seaton, Of Noranda, A. Clearest, of St,
.Donat, Rimouski, J. Rudd, C. Dube,
and Cpl. J, D. ,M. Gendron, of Mont-
real, most of ,whom had been injured
by shrapnel. Sgt, J. C. Bousfield, of
Granby, was another patient there who
has been suffering from an eye trouble,
but who was hoping to be able to do
training soon.
Lunch was served in the officers'
Mess with Col. Ilarvie presiding, and
here we met Col, G. W. F. Johnston,
formerly of Montreal and Col. Bailey,
of Yorkton, Sash,
However, our experiences with
hospitals was not over, as we return-
ed that night to sleep in an unoccupied
wing of,the hospital, and we also had
breakfast there° the next morning. ft
was the only night on, the trip when
we all slept in one dormitory, and
there were many complaints abaft
SCAM of time uninusical snoring.
In the afternoon, we visited some of
the extensive workshops, and marvel-
led at the repairs and new work that
was being done, They are in charge
of 13rig. ,r, ArchaMbault,

workshops almost made its think we

We had dinner that night with Brig.

Commanding the Canadian Reinforce-
ment Unit, and his officers, in their
mess. Brig. Phelan has a very friend-
ly personality and made our visit
there very enjoyable.
Camp Entertainments
In the evening, we had an oppor-
tunity to see some of the entertain-
ment provided for the Canadian troops
when we were taken to the camp
theatre, It is operated by the NAAFI
ENSA organization •and only men in
uniform are admitted. An exception
was made in our case and we were
given seats in the front row,
This theatre seats 1,400 people and
in four nights a week that it is oper-
ated there are often seven thousand
men. admitted. Similar theatres; we
were told, are found at all the larger
camps and admission is 3d, 9d, and
is, that is about Six cents, eighteen
cents, and twenty-four cents. Such
low admission prices are possible be-
cause there is no rent to pay, no tax,
no advertising, or other expenses that
run up the overhead,
•The shows are given by the very
best artists from London, who travel
around from camp to camp in buses,
staying at each place for the full three
or four nights, At this camp the
theatre is open. on Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday nights,
Most of the shows are of the revue
type, or "variety", as they call it over
there. This particular entertainment
featured an outstanding orchestra, but
there were also vocalists, dancers and
musicians, both male and female, and
a particularly clever comedian who
kept the huge audience in gales of
laughter, All the numbers were re-
ceived with tremendous enthusiasm
the audience plainly .showing that they.
enjoyed the shows to the fullest.
Just before the intermission the
house manager came on the stage and
announced the attraction for the coin-
ing week, ending with the words "at
your own. theatre", This was evident-
ly a standard ending, and the audience
all joined'in shouting it out.
The amusement for the evening was
not entirely over, for after the show
had ended, we went back to Brig,
Phelan's Mess and had a sing-song
which lasted until after midnight, be-
fore going back to one hospital cots,
at the medical centre.
The things that we saw that day
showed clearly that not only does the
Canadian Army look after the physical
welfare of -the men, 'bttt that their
tinitiSentent is looked After in the very

LUNCH BOX VARIETY
---
Variety, we are told, is the spice of
life, It also can add greatly to the
enjoyment of the worker's mid-day
meal, - imagination is a prerequisite
for the lunch box planner, for nothing
can perk up a jaded appetite like new
ideas and innovations introduced• into
the daily lunch. For example, sand-
wiches are not, as some people think,
a vital necessity in the lunch box.
Indeed, they can be eliminated entire-
ly from time to time and other items
of food substituted with gratifying
effect, Following are some lunch box
menus which do not include sand-
wiches; yet are very appetising, just
the same:

YOUR RED CROSS appeals to you for funds to carry on its program
of mercy; to continue vital war work performed by no other
organization. Never has the need been so urgent.
Helping to keep up the morale of half-a-million fighting men is
a gigantic task, and that is only the beginning. The Red Cross
makes life more bearable for thousands of prisoners of war.
Over 2,000,000 parcels were shipped to them last year —more
than this number must go in 1943. Our men in British and
Canadian hospitals need- Red Cross comforts and heartening
visits from the staff of Red Cross "visitors".
Red Cross help to shipwrecked sailors is essential, thoughtful,'
immediate. Homeless war orphans—our own kin and those of
our allies—sick and starving men and women in many lands—
millions in Russia, Greece and China and other peoples of the
United. Nations—need more food, medicine and comforts from
the Red Cross.
The need is world-wide; this year the cost will be greater than ever.
The work must go on. Obey the dictates of your heart; open wide
your purse and be generous. Remember, you are the Red Cross !
