/ PV While Plan For Saving Nation's Babies Detailed study of local condi- tions and organizations across Canadas as part of a campaign to save. more of the nation's babies is being planned during the pres. ent fiscal year, Pensions and- Na- Hone) Health officals said recent. Yoo Consideration is also being given to the provision of human milk for premature and debilitat- ed infants, A departmental committee has examined the problem of infant mortality and its study "indicates that complete information in re- gard to. the factors influencing" death 'is insufficient for the pur- pose of the instituion of compre hensive measures to reduce infant deaths. "It is, therefore, considered as part of the plan for reduction of infant mortality that a special sur. vey should be' made _ during the present fiscal year, if possible, and for this purpose it is thought that a committee should be set up in 'each of tle provinces, cont posed of provincial and munici- pal officials and representatives of voluntary groups, with the ob- - ject of obtaining further infor- mation in respect of local condi- tions afid organizations to further .more direct and systematic. ef? forts," the report said, "An extension of incubator ser- vice, since more than 4,000 deaths are due to prematurity, has been given consideration." Human milk depots might be established in connection with larger hospitals for the purposes of collection, refrigeration so that a supply of human milk might be available everywhere, i i "Any "effort directed towards the saving of infants must of necessity include maternal care, as the care given a mother during pregnancy and at the time of birth fias a direct bearing on the pre- natal group and stillbirths, "It is estimated that at east three times 'more babies die in a group of motherless children than where the: mothers survive and, as approximately orc-sixth of all maternal deaths aré due to hem- orrhage at the time of confine- ment, the provision of transfus- ion _services® would appear to be paramount." Britain Tightens Clothing Rations Tightened British rationing regulations provide that, civilians © receiving from overseas friends clothing parcels weighing more than five pounds must surrender clothing coupons before obtaining the. parcels from customs author- ities, . ) : Second move in a campaign to assure "equality of treatment for all," this order by the Board of Trade follows one providing for confiscation of food parcels weighing more than five pounds, Customs authorities have power to open all parcels over the five- pound limit and release clothing only on payment of necessary duty and receipt of the required number of coupons. Failure to comply with the "duty coupon demands results in the parcels being handed over to the. Red. Cross. or Women's ~~ Voluntary Service for charitable distribution, A Board of Trade spokesman added that already "there. have been "many" such cases. : This rule does not affect ser- _ vice. men: from overseas, because when the parcels are properly ad- dressed they: are forwarded' un-. opened, regardless of. weight, a Board of Trade representative stated.

MARRYING MARK .... . a Violette Kimball Dunn CHAPTER 23 CHAPTER 24 Mark took Valerie to the den: tists's the next morning, which seemed to Dorothy an -answer to prayer. She was fresh from her day with Elise, and worked up to an increased state of righteous in- dignation. If her sister's child was not freed from the influence ot a creature like the Tredway girl before another twenty-four. hours, because there was no decency she assured Elise, it would be in the world. ] Loucy was in her own sitting room- when Dorothy knocked, Lucy. - got up courteously, al she could see cven now that courtesy was not going to play much part in the conversation. "Will you sit down?" she asked. Dorothy came. in and closed the" door. N " "Isn't it a nice morning" sald Lucy presently, Thero seemed need for speech of some sort. "l was so glad when I saw the sun. A dentist seems easier to bear somehow when it's bright, don't you think?" Dorothy stared "at her for a moment without answering. "I won't pretend that this is a soclal It'she- expected Lucy to question her further, she was disappointed. The girl merely went on with. her dgrning. "You were unknown to this houseé on my last visit Dorothy sald, "Or at least, I suppose you know that .I was here to bury my sister. Seven short months ago!" "Nine, wasn't it?". Lucy asked cheerfully; "Almost a year ago. Time. does fly." There was no answer. She added. "She must have have been very lovely." "What my sister was doesn't.en- ter into this discussion. I'm going to speak plainly, Miss Tredway, because 1 have a duty here. Also because there is no one else. to do it. Would you care to tell me just when: and where my brother-in- law found you?" Cross Examination Lucy started. "Found" was such a terribly accurate' description. - "Judge: Brown of Allington, and ton Bank, recommended me," she sald. "They were old friends of my father." "When?" asked Dorothy. "I mean, how. long, has it been going: on?" - or "If you mean how. long is It since Mr. Alexander engaged me to tutor Valerie, I'm: afraid 1 don't know exactly, Sometime in the early summer of last year, "Have you; a: mother?" "No," said Lucy flatly. She add- ed 'nothing to the. statement. "That may explain ft. At least partially; How old aie you?" Lucy put down her darning. She was very careful about it, laying her mother's gold thimble in its case, and putting away her little: gclssors. After this was done, she looked deliberately at Dorothy, "Do you know I'm just a little tired of answering questions; she said. "Wouldn't you like to tell me what It is you want?" "Very well, then, I want you to pack youre things and leave this house. You may take whatever gifts my brether-in-law may have given you, but I want you to go as soon as possible, I see no reason why it shouldn't be at once." "Perhaps you'd care. to tell me whose authority you have for dis missing me?' asked Lucy. She was surprised to seo how quiet she was ,and how cold. ' "The authority of common de- cency, The authority of my cone cern for my sister's. only child." She was annoyed, and a little afraid of the tool-eyed young woman who - looked at her so disconcertingly. The girl had not taken the thing as she expected. "Come, my dear Miss --what Is your name?" Will Lucy Leave? "Tredway," sid Lucy. "Have you forgotten? You used.it only a mo- ment ago. Mr. Alex.nder engaged me to come here. Anyone can see what my Influence on Valerie has been, It was my fdea that il her father wanted to, get rid of me he would naturally let me know." Dorothy sat staring. at her. * "You're a great deal harder than you look, aren't you?" she said. "Perhaps this isn't altogether a new. experience for you. I'm per- fectly willing to speak more plain. ly. In the course of my visits with a dozen different women during yesterday, I made a point of ques- tioning them. They were all my sister's friends. Women of wealth and position, They assured me-- all of them--that if present condi- 'tions continued here, they would refuge to allow their children to remain friends: with Valerle." Lucy had no way of knowing that this was the purest fiction, invent ed at the moment to bolster up a - failing argument. She. couldn't, of course, tell that Dorothy and Elise had spent a quiet gossipy afternoon in Elises apartment. She stood and clasped her hands tightly. If this was true--if she was really hurting Valerie there was only one thing to do. . a "But I'll have to spesk to Mr, Alexander first," she cried. "How can I sneak away, as if I' done something I was ashamed of? I've been terribly happy here--they've . been so good to me! I_couldn't bear to have them think me un- grateful--" (To Be Continued) Bacon For Britain 'Some: Pork For Us Ann Rutherford, In the Strat. ford Beacon-Herald, Tells How To Use What Britain Doesn't Need Bacon and ham- are being sent over to Britain in increasing quantities," as Canadian producers get into their strides Such em- phasis has been placed on the need for such food that the other parts of pork have béen decidedly neg- lected.

"Just as a war which is won will benefit us all so a war which is lost would smash us all up. As always in the great hours of history our people has its fate in its own hands." Arctic Indians Donate $432.00 The Old Crow Iudjans who live north of the Arctic Circle in Yu. kon territory near the Alaska boundary have sent to Resources Minister Crearar $432 for the relief of bombed out children in the United Kingdom, it was learned at Ottawa, . Dollars come hard to the Crow Indians, ~most northerly of all North American bands in Canada, s0 this gift meant much to them, Indians rarely live as far .north as the Arctic Circle, usually cau sidered Eskimo territory, but Crow Indigns have hunted and trapped along the Crow River for generations, R This summer they took their catch of last winter to a trader in Alaska and were paid in United States dollars. Then Chief Moses, who had been told of the bombings in London, took up a collection in the band. He headed the list with $100 and some 24 Indians made up the balance, Tho chief tied the bills in a red cotton handkerchief and turned it over to the Royal Canadian Mount | ed Polico at Old Crow station. The Mounties sent the money to Daw- son and there it was deposited in a bank and a cheque forwarded to Ottawa, _ Mr. Crearar turned the funds - over to the British high commis. sioner's office in Ottawa, TABLE TALKS By SADIE B.
