K, Blair; M.P., North Welling- tou, who says that in 25 years' practice, he has never lost a mat- ernity case, in an interview on maternal mortality said: "I see where some doctors are laying part of the blame upon the nurses These doctors are trying to ex- guerate themselves in a cowardly way. In the rural districts we have usually only lay women to assist us. If the patient should die, we do not blame them. We are in charge, and must assume the responsibility, : "Perhaps this discussion will show the people that nature should be interfered with only when absolutely necessary. The doctors may give nature more time to do its duty. We are liv- ing in a fast and more or less ar- tificial age, and both these fac- tors enter into the high maternal mortality. There should not ho undue interference "mor should there be neglect." ° He also discounted the argu- ment that the high maternal death rate in the cities is due *o cases being brought in from the country, and that the high rate in the hospitals is due to serious cases being taken there, Hs was particularly interested in {he comment of Dr. J. Lloyd Burns, that civic authorities might make a similar advance to needy per- the hospital case. He also agreed with Dr. Healy that cases should not be rushed to a ho#pital ex- cept when absolutely necessary. It is apt to cause a nervous reac- tion to the patient. From the psychological aspect, maternity cases. in the h¢mes are to be pre- ferred, - \ song for birth in the hame as for | LEGION AUXILIARY HAS ANNUAL PICNIC The Lagdies' Auxiliary of Post 43, Oshawa, held their annual picnic on yesterday afternoon, June 29, at the Cream of Barley Camp.

Perry Is Director of Amateur Dramatic Club The Elite Dramatic Club gave the first performance of its sec- ond production of the season, last evening, when they presented "Home Ties' at Albert Street Church under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society of that church. With Mrs. A, Perry, as director, the play was a huge success, and in spite of the ex- tremely warm weather, the au- dience in the crowded 'lecture room of the church was excep- tionally appreciative of the dra- matic attempt. "Home Ties" 1 a wholesome drama with a touching love story throughout, interspersed by the contic sayings and antics of Mrs. Poplin and Lindy Jane, the colored maid. Ruth's choice between her lover and her father, held the audience till the curtain dropped upon the third act. Players were equally good in the roles which they depicted and did credit to their director, Mrs. Perry, who also took a part in the presentation. Ruth was played by Miss Mabel Mills; Harold Vinc¢ént, by W, Sir- geant; Martin Winn, by F. Stirie- vant; Leonard Everett, by D. H. Rice; Josiah Tizzard, by C, Lee: Alma Wayne by Miss Effie Bald- win; Aunt Melissa by Mrs. A. Perry; Mrs. Poplin, by Mrs. C. Lee, and Lindy Jane by Miss Reta Blake. Variety entertainment was pre- sented between the acts, in it tak- ing part were Mr. H. Dyas, tenor; Mr. W. Simpson, little Miss Weeks, Mr. N. Williams was pian- ist for the evening and Mr. J. Naylor, violinist. Accordian mu- ric was played by Mr. Sugden. The Elite Dramatic Club 1s de- serving of credit for the excel- lent manner in which they carry on their amateur theatrical work. The club is open for engage- ments. Mrs. A. Perry, on Stacev Avenue or Mr. Stirtevant, the president, would give further in- formation. THE BEST OF ALL When Norma waved goodbye at the statioh, everyone cried, "Write often" Nora smiled to herself. She knew a better way and a quicker--Long Distance! She'ed never lose touch with her hometown friends by that means. a When things seem wrong to thought of this I earnestly commend you: It may be that unknown to you Good fortune doth attend you. --Old Mother Nature. This is happening all the time. None of us ever fully realize how often we are fortunate. The very thing that seems hard to bear may be our good fortune. It was so with Peekaboo and Popup, the young runaway Prairie-dogs, as pre- sently you will see. That first night they spent curled up together in an unfinished house that some Prairie-dog had started and then given up. It went down into the ground only a little way, but it gave them shelter for, the night. In the mdrning they started out once more to look for their own home, but having no idea where it was they went in the wrong direc- tion. Of food there was plenty, so they did not have to go hungry, but when their little legs grew tired and they wanted to rest, there was no house open to them. Time and again they approached a house, only to be driven away by the own- ers. How they did wish they had- n't left their own comfortable home! Finally they wandered out some distance from the edge of the town. There they found some particular- good grass, and as they stuffed themselves they felt in better spir- its. "I suppose father and mother would say that we have no business to be so far from the nearest house," said Peekaboo. "Of course they would," replied her brother. "Just between our- selves I think they were very timid people. As for me, Tm not afraid. Why, what is there to be afraid of ?" Just then over in the town an alarm was given, and there was the usual excited scrambling to get in- to houses. Forgetting that he was not afraid, Popup led the way straight for the nearest house. What a long way it seemed then! Sud- denly he stopped and flattened him- self down in the grass. He had caught sight of a member of the Hawk family and knew now the cause of the alarm. He knew, too, that that Hawk was too near for them to reach that house in safety. So he did the wise thing, flattened LI SWE Nl himself in the grass and kept per- fectly still. Peckaboo did the"same thing? : There they lay hidden in the grass, two as frightened young Prairie- dogs as ever lived. No matter how safe they might be there in the open, they couldn't feel safe. They had been taught that the only safe place was deep down in the ground. Oh, how they did wish that they hadn't wandered so far from the nearest house, For some time, even after the Hawk had disap- peared, they lay there, not daring to move. Finally Popup did pop up for a look around: Over in the town he could see Prairie-dogs com- ing out of their houses and sitting up on their doorsteps, to make sure that the danger was over. The owner of that nearest house came out. But he had been out only a minute when he turned and dived headlong inside again. He didn't even take time enough to sound an alarm. It was plain to sec that he was badly frightened. Peekaboo, who was also sitting up, looked at her brother. "What do you suppose is the matter with him ?" she whispered. Popup made no reply. He had caught sight of a stranger who seemed to appear from nowhere ar paused to sit up on that door- stp for a look around. Peckaboo saw him too. Never would they forget his appearance. His coat was much the color of their own coats and his tail was short anc round and black at the tip. Other- wise he was as unlike them as pos- sible. His body was long and slen- der. They hadn't supposed that any one in all the Great World had such a long, slender body. His neck was long, too. There was a black patch across his eyes like a mask. His legs were short and his feet were black. All this they saw before he disappeared in that house. When they had seen that Hawk they had thought themselves un- lucky. not to be able to reach that house. In reality it was their good fortune that they had not been able to get there. This stranger who had just entered was Blackfoot the Ferret, a relative of Shadow the Weasel. . (Copyright, 1931, by T. W. Burgess) The next story: "A Dreadful Dis- covery."
