One of these is "sWeepinga! Ah, yes, there are several kinds of sweeping in vogue today. We have armies sweeping the country, brush- ing human -life •betoa•e them as though it was -rubbish; we have mine sweeping abroad in the seven seas; - we. even have sweeping "hair do's." But these are all products of modern civilization. Goingback to yesteryears, When life was simple and the world was not a bedlam, of intricate mechanisms we find that one of the most unim- posing and indispensable articles in the home was an ordinary broom. It is still unimposing and still indispen- sable. What is more, if figures have not lost their reputation for veracity, new brooms still sweep clean. Statistics reveal the fact that Canadian house- wives , are as devoted as ever to the ancient order of the mop and broom. Last year retailers sold, over three million corn brooms and about one and one-half Million mops of all kinds. This is entirely exclusive, of whisks and brushes. The total selling value of all the products of this industry 'devoted to the needs. of Canadian home/makers' amounted to almost four and one-half .million dollars . for the year 1939.

The frame two-storey home was com- pletely destroyed, the fire having - started in, the upstairs from overheat- ed stovepipes around the noon hour. It had gained considerablebeadvvay before being discovered, making it impossible for the aged couple to rescue very many of their belongings. There was no insurance on the resi- dence. Mr. and Mrs. Harris have liv- ed in the same house just about all their married life. They have gone to male their home with their son, Joseph Harris.

"Appointment of any man as a 'gen- eral -food inapector in any municipal- ity or to any health organization, es- pecially where meets and milk and their products are always a major ,con•sideration, wtho is not equipped with the knowledge of bacteriology and other necessary scientific know- ledge termed "a traversion of good judgment and a waste of public ex- penditure" by. W. A. Gill„member of the Londee .board of health: Mr. ,Gill addressed the. quarterly..meeting of the Western Ontario Veterinary Association held in Woodstock recent- ly and lectured on "The veterinary pro, fessiou as it is related to public 'health work." Mr. Gill stated that there was also the possibility of "ill results which might .occur to some person or personseven to the extent el an epidemic of serious proportion's solely through the 1a 01 proper knowledge ancl training of the one who was trusted with the supervision .4f the products responsible for such results. Dr. A. R. Campbell, Heesall, is president of the association. "On every hand.," he continued, "there are evidences that the general public is becoming more conscious and more interested in personal health as well as that of the commun- ity at large. As a result of this in- creased interest, there are today op- portunities presenting themselves for certain professionally trained persons to take their places in public health clegartments and organizations which strive to prevent, and control certain diseases and" infection,s, which we know can he prevented and control- led by . an efficient system of educa- tion, inspection, supervision: and con- trol measures. I do riot believe that there are any two other words that embrace more or have a more uni- versal., application and mean more to humanity personally, collectively, in- dustrially, socially and mentally than do the words "public health." . The Veterinarian 'I would like to show you the ne- cessity • for properly trained persons' for certainedivisions functioning un- der and in conjunction with a health department. I 'refer to the veterinar- ian. Now, it is a well-known fact that one's resistance against the on- slaughts of disease is to a great ex- tent the result of safe and proper foods that are consumed. "When we consider the -e a s t amount of meat and milk products whichare humanly consumed, does it not seem reasonable and logical that the supervision of these foods should be placed in the care of those who have a knowledge, of the gener- al anatomy and subject. diseases of the fountain's head'. of these food pro- ducts and. who are .also well trained in bacterfollegibal work and well' in- formed on those disease that area known to :be transmissible to man, which enables him to interpret the danger to the consumer of, foods which, may be contaminated , with pathogenic organism and which -might create a health hazard." Mr. Gill pointed out, though, that the .veterineflaan had not been apply- ing himself to these duties which .rightfully belong to him an the fields of public health work. He stated that with over 40 known diseases of animals which were transmissible to the human race, it would be out of the-nntrained supervisor's sphere . t� cope with the work and that the veterinarian was the only one with the fundamental essential training to- wards satisfactory animal food pro- duct inspection. 'He said that al- though all export meat slaughtered and processed in this country is Kov- Ornment inspected, a large percent- age of Meat for home consumption is slaughtered locally with no inspection whatever and frequently under un- sanitary conditions. He deplored the inferior qUalifications of a layman to make inspectiatis locally and also to dispose of the problem of parasitic diseases in meat ainclf fish. ^ Many Activities "The application of a veterinarian's services is not necessarily confined to meat and milk control," said the speaker. "It extends into many other channels of public health department duties, such as inspection of meat processing plants of all kinds, cold storage and slaughter houses, retail meat shops and general stores where meats are sold as a side issue, fish s.hops, poultry, inspection., open and closed market inspection, soft drink manufacturing plants, general restau- rant and kitchen inspection, swabs taken of eating and drinking utensils for bacterial analysis, educating in showing dish -washers and managers the pro -per way to 'sterilize all. uten- ails, require all food handlers to be medically'. examined and get health certificates, ice cream -plant inspec- tion anal samples taken for analysis, hospital kitchens, 'children and aged people's shelters regarding food sup- plies and many other activities that present themselves froth day to day." No Justification "Surely there Is enough evidence," said, Mr. Gill, "to justify the conten- tion that there as an open piece in the • public health organizations: that should not; and, cannot "effielentlea be Aired by anyone ilithais,•IM is a Man trained aniehtilleally, • anateittlaellY• • • " The sea was calm and the captain decided It 'Would be a good time, to satisEY„ ifhe cabin, boy's •destire to take the helm. x•f9, pointed out the North Star to the boy, and gave him eat- ' elicit directions to steer toward it all the time. • - \ • ' rat a, White eveteitaelng went Welt, bat' tail* the young pilot got ante "Captalea"-he eallesi, "I've tettaiad that Pattie will you please eeMe and Plek oixt allethen" ' M1 • PatfalaE PERFECT BREA() •• ; g440,74744IPP • •• • Ala101,/. • .

Baena R. D. Keefe, B.A., in the OUtarice Library Review, there came a. sou who was shorty chriatened George Franklin Rogers. The lad grew, waxed tall in stature and gave., early evidence of latent possibilities of superior mental attainments in, the future. As his father was a Methodist elergyman, and the church: had, in vogue the itinerant system, when. not more than three years were allowed at one place, he received his elementary training in several schools, the first six years being spent in the Huntingdon and Granby Academies anti the next three in the Bedford Private School. The family was then moved to Athens and there in the High School he obtained his Junior Matriculation. After a year in Hamilton Collegiate Institute he was awarded Sehior Matriculation. And.then to Victoria College! Froth there he graduated with his B.A. de- gree, obtaining First Class Honours in Science and in English as well. Along with this he was awarded the !Prince of Wales Gold Medal in Gen- eral Proficiency and' the Silver Medal 1 in Natural Science. Like most of the , University graduates in those dayS, lte. attended the School of Pedagogy where he obtained his professional training for High. School and Colleg- iate Institute work. The recollections of the early days. spent ,in the neighoring province must have been happy one for it was in St. Francis College, Richmond, Quebec, that he spent his first year in teaching. Ontario, however, offer - bacteriologically and eathologically in animal diseases. 'Today there are many problems yet unsolved relating to devastating disease which are transmitted from animals to man and it is in this field that the veterinarian can and should be of the greatest assistance in performing thoie duties which no one but he can efficiently perform. . . 'Many of the present regulations and the proposed advancements in public health , activities definitely re- quire the, services of :members of your profession 1 feel that you will be well advised to lose no time atnd leave go political stones unturned to arrange a suitable' program which will -fit you for -the breaksewhen they come as they .are undoubtedly going to come.

Do not allow these important positions which should ,be yours to fall into the hands • of ex - bartenders, retired butchers, ex -offic- ials or 'some political heeler whose past patronage would be quietly, paid for by an appointment to the local health department even if it would be at the physical and financial ex- pense of that .particular municipality in which he has spent many years and referred to as a real ',nice' man and quite deserVing of such an . ap- pointment." Mr. Gill concluded by giving a brief outline of the work that is being done to promote proper meatend food inspection both by the veterinary sec- tion of the eantarid Health Officer's Association and the legislature. He then called on Dr. J. Bovaird of London, Dominion government vet- erinary -inspector to speak on the pro- posed legislation regarding the mat- ter which will raise qualifications of meat and food inspectors and set certain regulations in connection) with their appointments. A resolution was passed unani- mously protesting the disbanding of the Royal Canadian. Army Veterinary' Corps. A copy of.. the resolution is to be forwarded to Prime Minister King and Col. Ralston, Minister of National Defence. The protest was based on the grounds that although the use 9f animals in the present forces is practically nil, men quali- fied as veterinaries were valuable as meat and food anspectora working with an army in the field that has to forage for its food. Two other speakers' were heard earlier in the day when papers were presented by C. E. Philips of Toron- to on "Nutritional Diseases" and by Dr. H. Watt, local Veterinarian, vice- president of the association on "Botu- tism and Forage Poisoning." The meeting held at the New Commercial Hotel was prfisided oved by A. R. Campbell, the president, and In the absence of the regular secretary, who has moved out of the district, Dr. Bovaird was appointed acting secre- tary. Following 'the meeting a tur- key dinner was enjoyed by the mem- bers of the association. Many favor- able remarks were heard from the out-of-towners as tothe facilities and central locality of Woodstock for such meetings and the hope was ex- pressed that other Meetings would) be held here." Book Review— "Come Wind, Come Weather" (By Daphne du Maurier) Available this week in a special Canadian edition containing "A Word: To Canada" from the author, this best seller of the war in Britain (over 50O- 000 copies already sold) 'brings to Canadians at this 'time, the 'cure for war -frayed nerves and. lesson's on how to produce a, spirit ,of willing sacri- fices. Turning from the romance and fic- tion of her prize-winning iiovel, 'Re- becca," Miss du Maurier has produc- ed what the British press has called "a handbook OR moaele" in which she gives' us glimpses into the hearts and homes of Britons under fire. With striking simplicity and intimacy she describes in ten short stories, the feelings of the mother who has just received a notice "the Admiralty re- grets to inform! you . ."—how she faced the challenge and used it to bring hew faith and: courage to others . . the retired army -officer's wife who overcame baraiers of shyness and class to welcome nearby soldiers to her home — how the courage they found there prepared them for the horrors and the miracle of Dun•kirk-- humourous, heart -moving stories of evacuated children i . the London charwoman who brodght sanity out of panic in an air-raid shelter during heavy, bombing. Picturing thegrowth of an inner strength and steadiness in Britain, this book illustrates how the inner defence of a nation lies in the, char- acter of its. people --n its homes as they become the citad•eas of a hew spirit. "Peace will not come," says Miss du Maurier in her special "Wand To Canada," "nor unity be achieved. among the nations of the world, un- less we can first sow peace and unity ourselves. It is in the workshops, in the farms, in the factories, in the fields, and above all in the homes, that you men and women of Canada can lay the, foundation stone." Misedu Maurier points out that the secret i1 high morale lies in personal victory over every selfish thought, ev- ery narrow prejudice that creeps stealthily into our hearts and minds in times of trouble. "When we say that we are ready to fight for free- dom," she asks in the epilogue, "shall we mean by this that we would fight for the old way of living, the cone plaeent goets-eotiaplease attitude to our nighbors, the. what -do -I -get -oat -of - it Outlook upon work and Way, trade and profession?

But, what was of more importance, it was here he met "and, took unto him- self, as his life's comatifen, Miss Christina Stephens. There were larger fields in the edu- cational work and in September, 1913, he accepted the Principalship of the London Collegiate institute. After 5 years there he was offered and ac- cepted the' pesitiOn of High School Inspector. This work took him into 411 parts of the Province and before long he had a most comprehensive ItriotAlerige of the ,Secondary School System, In 1928 he was sent to Eng, land tb make a study of the schools in the Old Land and there he spent several months with the result that, on his return; Ontario schools profit- ed by his experience. In the 'same year he . was made .assistant to, Dr. Merchaut, then the Chief Director of Education for the Province, and On his appointment as Chief Adviser to the Minister of Education in 1930, Dr. Rogers became the Chief Director. In May, 1933, the University of Tolaan- to conferred upon him the .deAree of Dr: of Laws. In Odeber of ,tiaT same year by the Uniiersity of Western Ontario and once agalla in May, 1934, by McMaster University, LL.D. de- grees were conferred as a token of esteem in which he was held by edu- cational authorities. In 1935 he was appointed to the Conannittee of En- quiry into the Cost of Education. In. 1936 he was President of the Cana- dian Education Association which met in Regina, and in the same year he was made a member of the Commit- tee to revise the High and Vocation- al School Courses of Study. For years he was Chairman of the Revising Board and many a boy and girl, al- though unknown to th.emelsave reason to feel 'thankful for his kindly and fairminded consideration of their ap- peals. When Dr. McArthur became the Minister of Education, Dr. Rogers was Appointed Deputy Minister, a choice which met with the approval of all those interested in Education for he is a man who brings to his sew work not only scholarly, attain- ments but a richness of experience which it is the good fortune, of but • . seer men to possess. , Although he is essentially a lover of his own home and famile—there are four children, Dr. George K.,. -who is practising Medicine in Washington, Miss Dorothy,. who- gradua,ted as a nurse and later as a librarian and is now on the Toronto Library Staff, Miss.
