Thousands of Lives
Saved by Education
Canada gains thousands of new
(citizens each year through a public
health campaign, Children live now
who would have died. in their first
year of life had they been born a
few years ago, vital statisties just
published reveal.
Soma idea of the strength of the
lost generations" of former years
le gained from a study of pensions
send national health department sta-
tistics. In 1926, out of every 1,000
Canadian children, 101 died in their
ifirnt year of life. The latest figures
available show that in 1938 the rate
had been out to 63 deaths for every
1,000 births.
HEALTH, EDUCATION
"Interpreted in round figures,"
Maid Dr. Ernest Couture, the de-
partment's director of maternal
and child hygiene, "the foregoing
sates signify that in 1938 we lost
20,916 babies, including those still-
born. As to the reduction from 101
to 63 in the mortality rate, it also
chows that each year we have sav-
ed 13,000 lives."
Improved public health facilities
send public education to the need of
proper medical care and sound hy-
glen() are partly responsible for the
vast improvement, the department
believes. Prenatal care of the moth-
er, proper attention at birth, and
protection from disease after birth
have played important roles in sav-
ing thousands of very young Can-
adians.

Focal Points of Danger in Southeastern Europe
Extension of the war to the Mediterranean last week, appeared
more imminent as Allied and Italian naval forces gathered at strategic
points prepared for instant action. The above map shows the danger
points in Europe's uneasy southeast corner. Turkish troops were report-
ed to be massing on the Greek and Bulgarian frontiers (1) while Nazi
forces were reported marching near Yugoslavia and Hungary (2), and
shipping tanks into Slovakia. Italian troops were also on the 'move (3)
and had their fleet stationed off the Dodecanese Islands (4), Russian
troops were reported near Hungary (5). Allied fleets had taken
stations in the Aegean (6). Hungary was busy rounding up spies (7):.

It was with considerable concern
that the fishing club noticed that
Smith, their champion teller of the
best fishing stories, seemed to have
forgotten his old habit after his
marriage.
At their annual dinner they con-
fidently expected to hear once more
the story of leis three-foot trout, but
never a word came from Smith.
The chairman decided to get to
the bottom of the mystery. "Smith,
old boy," he said, "tell us about the
trout."
• Smith shook his head. "I've given,
up telling fishing stories," he said.
"'Whatever for?".
"It's like this," said Smith, with
an air of gloom. "Every time I start-
ed to tell one at home my wife
gave me some wool to hold."

The honeymoon was on the wane,
and he thought it was time to get
down to earth. As they faced each
other across the supper -table, he
said:
"Darling, this steak tastes just
like burnt leather."
"Sweetheart," she murmured in
a soft voice, "what strange things
you've eaten in your life!"
Friend: "How's business?"
Scissors Grinder: "Pinel I've
never seen things so dull!"
Although it was Wiggins' first
reception his buttiing was perfect.
"Stand erect and announce the
name of every person who comes
to the door during the afternoon,"
Mrs. Van Ritzer had instructed
him.
Wiggins had been doing elegant-
ly. .411 were present now but the
guest of honor. He should arrive al-
most any time,
All eyes focused on Wiggins as
he paused to announce the guest
of honor. A hush fell over the big
reception room, This was the great
moment of Mrs. Can Ritter's most
formai affair.
Wiggins cleared his throat and"
called in a firm,,voice:
"Mister Yeagley, the Fuller
Brush Man."
Grandfather: "You don't
know what it is to be old and
bent."
Grandson: "No, but I know
what it is to be young and
broke."
