Slemon A classification address ai un- usual iaterest was presented ta Ratarians at their Friday lunch- eon in the Balmoral Hatel when 4Dm. C. W. Shemon sketched the development ai the science ai Social Hygiene. Tohd la temms devaîd ai medical temminalagy and illustrated witb cases which had came persanally under obser- vation aven many years ai pract- ice, Dr. Slemon gave bis audience an eloquent and evalutionamy pic- turc la public health improvement within the past generatian, whicb, as be said la conclusion, was a prime determiniag factar in mak- ing Canada a betten place la which ta live and womk. Dr. Siemon was iatmoduced by Rotarian Arthur Hardy who was glad ta say that the speaker, as well as bimself and Jim Devitt, was a son ai the soul, wha had liv- ed bis entire ie la Durham Coun- ty and had a message, the import- ance ai which would be as authar- itatively preseated as any ai the distinguished ex-Dunhamites wba were ieatured in the booklet, "Country Bays Make Goad in Big City." Recalling days when Dr. i Sieman was a star football player, Mn. Hardy cancluded with an ob- servation universally accepted, that the docton had earned the respect and affection ai the entime cammunity in a lufe devoted ta service in aIl the avenues char- acteristic ai good citizeaship. Hygiene was described, broadiy speaking, as the science and art of presenviag and pnamating gen- emal cammunity health; the de- veiopment ai a souad body and sane mmnd. The typically healthy man was one wba serenely sought ta do bis daily tasks and at the clase ai hife leit an ail-important legacy ai healthy ofisprng. The basis ai Social Hygiene could be traced back to the age-oid Masaic concept af cleanliness, isolation and good food and in adapting these principles the Hebnews be- came the envy ai ail cantempor- amy tibes. Ta these principles, down thnougb the ages, have been added the learning and discoveniesi ai science, with none mare ef-j iectiveiy expressed than withini the present generation. Modemn Hygiene is samethiag more than preveative medicine for it seeks causes with the ulti- mate aum of safeguamdiag bath the cammunity and the individuai.

His graup holds the balance ai pawer but their decision at present is flot ta farce a wartime election. How- ever, packed galleries are expect- ed when Mitch takes the floor with bis flair far the spectacular and the unexpected. It is anticipated there will be considerabie crass-fire as ta whether Premier Drew has im- plemented the 22-paint programn an which. he was elected in Au- gust, 19413.
