With the to-operation of Dominion, Provincial and Municipal departments of health. departments of education, schools, churches, service clubs and other piiblic-apirited organ', zations, an effort IS being made to again call to the attention of all Canad- isms the need for organiaing for health. Science has made enormous contri. butions in the field of preventive medi- cine in our own lifetime, And yet, fail- ing to apply the discoveries of science, we go on allowing health and life to be sacrificed because we are not stif- ficiently informed to spend reasonable time or pass adequate legislation for the prevention of sickness and the con, servatiort of life, Wallpaper SALE ROOM LOTS SALE CONSISTING OF WALLS AND BORDERS HALF PRICE AND LESS Bedrooms, Living Rooms and Kitchen Papers. 30 inch wide Heavy Embossed Paper . . 19c roll Heavy Embossed Ceiling Paper .. 19c roll Regular 30c • The Wallpaper Shop PARK-DALE BRAND STANDARD Sieve No. 4 PEAS 20 oz. tin 15c FRESH FRUITS and VEGETABLES Size 96's Texas GRAPEFRUIT, 5 fOr 290 Size 244 California Navel ORANGES,doz. ..21c FRESH LETTUCE, GREEN CELERY, CHOICE LEMONS COOKING ONIONS, FRESH cAutittLowER, WAXED TURNIPS, FIRM CABBAGE.

GORRIE (Continued from page Five) Sicily and Italy with Br. 8th. army, were at Moro river, Ortona on the east then crossed the mountains to Casino, Liri Valley, Rome to Florence. In. Feb. 1945, they again sailed as part of Can. Corps. for Marsailles, France, then to Belgium, Holland and 'Ger- many.

In either case their is a vast need for a widespread • educational campaign. Briefly is the facts are disseminated widely enough and often enough there will be a widespread demand for action. "Health Week" is but a brief inten- sificiation of the year-round effort of your health departments and the Health Legue of Canada to make you health-conscious. The statement that in war yarn, 50,000 industrial workers were unable to work on account;of sickness on an average day, and that of 1,260,000 men exaniined' for military service 357,000 were unfit for military duty of any kind, should be sufficient to give pause.

The presi- dent, Mrs. Jesse Wheeler was leader of discussion on th subject of Can We Maintain Our Present Consumption of Farm Products.

Yuill seconded by Carl Procter. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. Howard Wilkinson with Mrs. Cal- vin Robinson and Mr. Josph Yuill as Recreation Committee.
