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.

Charters, who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent tour overseas. 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, M,C., and Col, 0, A. Secord. These workshops almost made its think we were back in soma the large arm- Won faetories in Canada. After seeing some artillery training, WO ifispeCted, a mobile laundry of the very latest hod Meg efficient We had dinner that night with Brig. F. R. Phelan, D,S.O., M.C., V.D., 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 finest rohlirott, YOUR EYES NEED I ATTENTION Our 25 Point Scientific Examin- ation enables us to give you • Clear, Comfortable Vision F.

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: Cream of Pea Soup Whole Wheat Bread & Butter Cabbage & Carrot Salad Canned Plums v Fish & Celery Salad (Pilchards can take the place of salmon and are economical) Whole Wheat Bread & Butter Coffee or Cocoa Cake Canned fruit or leftover pudding * * * Cream Soup Devilled Egg and Lettuce Salad with Carrot Strips Whole Wheat Bread Butter Apple * 4: Macaroni with Cheese Fruit Cup Bread and Putter Milk 'K * Cream of Tomato Soup Beet 8: Celery Salad Carrot Strips Whole Wheat Muffins Rs 13titter Tea and Milk * * * Potato and Onion Soup Cabbage •St Raw Apple Salad (read & flutter Cocoa OE OF CAN.A.D* 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.
