MEASLES
Measles is •a child -killer. This dis-
ease which so many regard as of no
seriousness and which is thought of
as a necessary evil, accompanied by
certain inconveniences, is, as a mat-
ter of fact, a serious menace to child
life, and because of the number of
children i t kills, i t ranks high
amongst those diseases that take life
in early childhood.
In one year there occurred in Can -
which 264 were children under one
which 264 were childish under one
year of age. Most deaths from meas-
les occur under five years of age.
The disease attacks especially those
under three years. The older the child,.
the better chance he has of recovery.
Measles is a communicable disease;
it is passed from the sick to the
Well. It is very easily spread and
practically all who are exposed, con-
tract the disease, unless they have
been protected by a previous attack.
It is a mistaken idea that every
child must have measles. It is crim-
inal to exppse children to measles,
because to do so is to risk their lives.
Measles is serious not only because
it kills, but because it seems to pre-
pare the ground for other diseases.
It is the pneumonia following meas-
les which makes it so dangerous. Tub-
erculosis may become active after
measles.
Concerning the control . of measles,
it must be remembered that measles
is most contagious during the days
before the rash appears. For this
reason, it is advised that every child
with a cold in the head be kept away
from other children, not only to pre-
vent the spread of colds, but because
the cold may be the first stage, the
most contagious stage of measles..
Part of the protection of child life
is the protection of the child from
measles.

Recommend Cheese For.
Picnic Lunch
Some foods seem to be just right
for picnics—and cheese is one of them.
Cheese sandwiches are, without doubt,.
the most'pbpular and most practical
way to serve cheese at a picnic. It
is a good idea, and an easy matter
to vary the sandwiches from one pic-
nic to another by making use of the
many cheese fillings which can be so
quickly and economically prepared.
For tasty and nourishing sandwiches,
blend cheese—either grated Canadian
cheddar, processed, cottage or cream
with salad dressing and add chop-
ped green pepper, green onions, pi-
mento, nuts, pickles, olives or cel-
ery. Use a generous amount of_fil-
ling with brown or white bread cut
to suit the occasion—in other words.
not too thin, or for a change, use the
filling in buttered tea biscuits or
rolls.
Another suggestion is to serve
plain buttered bread or rolls in place
of the sandwiches, and make cheese
a part of the salad by combining
grated cheese with the other ingre-
dients, or by serving a cheese dressing
with the salad. For the dressing
blend together equal parts of grated
Canadian cheddar, processed; cream
or cottage cheese with salad dressing,
folding in whipped. cream if desired.
Small balls of cottage or cream
cheese, slices of Canadian cheddar or
processed cheese, large prunes or
celery stocks stuffed with a,cheese
mixture all add flavour and food 'va-
lue to the, picnic salad plate. And
speaking of salads, keep in mind that
cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, aspara-
gus, pineapple, peaches and pears are
especially delicious served with a
cheese accompaniment.

WHAT OTHER NEWS
PAPERS ARE SAYING
UNFAIR COMPETITION
WITH THE RAILWAYS
A -keen observer of economic condi-
tions has remarked of the present
transportation situation that the rail-
ways built up the country for the
people and the people 'built tide high-
ways for the trucks. The trucks use
the public highways to take business
from the railways and leave the re-
sultant railway deficits for the peo-
ple
eople to pay. -
The railways handled the country's
freight and passenger traffic before
the coming of motor transports and
still have the equipment to do so.
One of the reasons, and probably the
chief reason, that they are running
behind financially is that they are
suffering from unfair dompetition.
They have bought and paid for their
own right of way on which they tra-
vel apart from other traffic. On their
property they pay taxes to the muni-
cipalities through which their lines
pass.
The trucks, on the other hand, op-
erate on highways built at the ex-
pence of the public, and a very heavy
expense at that. What's more, they
interfere with and endanger the pri-
vate passenger cars which the high-
ways were primarily intended to
serve. They carry . enormous loads
which call for a heavier and more
costly foundation than would other-
wise be the case. True, they pay a
bigger license fee than private ve-
hicles, but that fee is nevertheless
small in comparison to the taxes paid
by the railways and the cost of main-
taining railway rights-of-way.
Just so long as this inequality pre-
vails the taxpayers may as well re-
concile themselves to an annual levy
to meet railway deficits. It is true
that there is no need for all the rail-
way facilities that are available but
railway servic e i s indispensable.
Trucks can never completely take its
place. That being so the railroads
should have a fair chance tooperate
on a self -guarding basis.

FEAR OF LEWIS KILLED
COURT BILL
What really defeated the Supreme
Court bill and caused its withdrawal
in the United States Senate before it
could come to a veto was the C. I. 0.
threat to law and order.
This is something for certain Can-
adian politicians to think about—the
politicians who are trying to curry
public favor by support of the John
L. Lewis labor organization in Can-
ada.
The always well-informed Whaley -
Eaton Service of Washington inter-
prets the situation in this manner:
"0.I.0. activities hurt the White
House more than anything else.
Congressman after Congressman, go-
ing home, was amazed to discover an
overwhelming suspicion -that, in some
way, the plan to pack the court was
interwoven with s ome undefined?
scheme to use the court for. Lewis's
ends. This fear was not confined to
the farmers. In the South, especially
industrial workers, satisfied with pay
and hours, were fearful lest organiz-
ers drift in and call strikes. Men
who refused to fear Roosevelt as a
dictator did fear Lewis in that role—
and they became convinced, rightly
or wrongly, that Lewis was dictating
to Roosevelt."
The American people do not want
John L. Lewis ar a political'klictator.
They have resented his efforts to a-
chieve such
-chieve'such a position by lawless
,and arbitrary methods.

HOME IMPROVEMENT
LOANS
The Department of Finance has
published the loans made under the
Home Improvement Plan in cities and
towns of five thousand population and
upwards to May 31st, 1987. The io-
tai loans for all Canada as. at 111'ay
31st, were ' 13;971 amqunting' to $5,-

IIAND'Y GADGET
A most convenient little gadget is
the telephone cupboard built in a
wall. It may have an elaborate door,
or it may have a simple panelled door,
or,if you desire it to be very incon-
spicuous, you may cover it with the,
same wallpaper as covers your walls,
The door lets down, serving as a
desk. There is a storage space pro-
vided in the wall for a telephone book
and a pad of paper and pencil, and
the beauty of the thing is that the
door opens not only on this side of
the wall, but on the other side also,
making it possible for you to phone
from either one of two rooms.
Cost of improvements of this type
may he paid with modernization loans
obtained under the Dominion, Gov-
ernment's Home Improvement Plan.

JOY
According to the Oxford Dictionary
joy means gladness or pleasure.
Joy to some people is occasioned by
something which would not, bring joy
M others. Some find their plea-
sure in things of the world, while glad-
ness is brought to others by spiritual
associations.
Some one has said, "Joy may be
divided into three words — Jesus —
others—yourself, and if we could on-
ly follow • that order out in our lives.
how much better it would be for
ourselves as well as for others. We
may think that we are having a good
time with the world and are still re-
taining our Christianity but this can-
not be so. We must make a choice.,
The motto of the Salvation is "oth-
ers'.. Would that it were the motto
of a great many who do not belong
to that worthy organization.,
It is a splendid idea when one
gets up; in the morning to resolve to
do a kindness to someone and when
that deed; is done, plan for another.
It brings joy into our very souls
when we have given of ourselves to
others,'
When we,have put Jesus first and
others second, then there is not much
time to think of ourselves.
"Others, Lord, yes others,
Let this my motto be, .. -
Help meto live for others,
That I may live for Thee.

LETTERS ,
Oftentimes it makes you 'better
When you're ill to get a letter.
Oftentimes when you are sad,
A wee note will make you glad.
Sometimes when you're all alone,
Ina letter's friendly tone,
You will find sympathy
That you need! It seems to me
Letters are an easy way
To make brighter some one's day.
Letters make the miles seem fewer,
Letters make old faiths seem newer„
Letters make a friendly hand
Warmly reach from land to land.
Oh,, I think we should (don't you?)
Write more letters than we do!

He yelled for his Mummy,
He splashed with each foot,
And he splashed with each hand.
He clutched at a wave
That came up on the sand,
It struck him amidships,
And 0-0-h the surprise
That shone in his wondering,
Rainbow filled eyes,
And then with a shout,
He bent closer to see
The wet funny waves that lapped
Each chubby knee.

And soused his, small head,
And he staggered for Mummy
And yelled as he fled!
