welcome news while there have been no cases of the diseases reported within halton s boundaries the prompt action in establishment of a committee of this type may well be the means of preventing it our encyclopedia describes rabies as a con tagious disease oldogs communicable to man or domestic animals by the bite of a dog the rabid animal becomes restless excited and tends to bite at every object it meets later paralysis may occur death ensues in 5 to 12 days we had read earlier this year in bulletins from the department of lands and forests of the pre valence of the disease in foxesin the north warn ings were issued that dogs being taken in hunt ing should first be vaccinated in fact this warn ing was carried in our news columns its importance is really stressed however when cases occur within only 20 miles of hal- tons boundaries perhaps as dangerous as the disease is the panic that can develop and the wanton massacre of dogs that can follow should rabies be thought to be apparent the animal suspected of having rabies must be taken under observation to estab lish the presencebr absence of the disease municipal officials are extending an extra effort to keep all dogs under control pet owners would be equally wise in the interests of their dogs and the children who may play with them to keep fido on a leash as the urban bylaws re quire the control committee is endeavoring to se cure the necessary vaccine for the free treatment of all dogs but those who value their dogs are urged not to wait and above all if you suspect a dog of rabies contact local police or competent officials arid restrain it without killing if at all pos sible in peace and war in war it brings comfort to the injured com panionship to the lonely sympathy to the ang uished in peace it brings food for the hungry shelter for the homeless help for those in dis tress those are the words used by president eisenhower to describe the work of the red cross the simple banner bearing the red cross on the white background has been an indication to thousands of relief from suffering since its in ception almost 100 years ago the red cross has become the uh iversatope for mankind the princi which hen dunant proposed have en circled the world today in 74 nations millions of people embrace these principals and proudly carry on the work of mercy for their fellow man consideration of the work of the red cross probably comes only once a year for most people in this town and district every year march is set aside as red cross morth during which the an nual financial campaign is launched in an effort to continue this work and keep it ready for disas ters anywhere in the red cross locally as in other organiza tions i is difficult to obtain canvassers who will make a particular point of calling on every indi vidual throughout a growing municipality per haps the work of the red cross is sufficiently wellknown to you and perhaps you can apprec- te its importance sufficiently to go out of your ay to contribute without beign approached the red cross is constantly serving mankind through the work of thousands of volunteers these are men women and children ofa4l colors creeds and political beliefs all united to serve un der the familiar symbol of the red cross will you be under the banner of the red cross through your contribution or will you just be watching the parade our tariff policy has always been unfair to thewesrern farmer who sell his wheat on a world market but must purchase his needs on one which is prptected to the advantage of the non- prairie canadian the answer to the farmers plight is producticwi of less wheat and procfuction of more of the other agricultural products for which the nation itself has a greater demand north battleford sask news optimist everybodys business without a doubt education is everybodys business thetruth of the statement is being em phasized this- week as schoolsi across canada mark education week there is often a tendency for those without children at school to vaguely refer to the changes in the educational program the high costs and the lack of emphasis oh the three rs with no lit- tie scorn all of these things become classified mentally as education and we dont want too much to do with it perhaps for that reason we have an education week to emphasize the fact that education is everybodys business does not take any extensive research last year acton taxpayers contributed about 40 per cent of their municipal taxes to sup port local schools this of course is besides the 28 per cent or so of the provincial budget that is used for that purpose so education is everybodys business financially but it is not fair to give an appraisal of a thing like education in monetary terms only its every bodys business because the future of a young country like canada can be seriously impaired if it lacks men of vision and education as well as men of enthusiasm and labor the quality of education can depend too on the interest of parents as well as teachers for the parents can exert a great influence on the formu lating of a childs like or dislike of education local schools are always endeavoring to keep parents aware of what takes place in classrooms and maintain their interest in the continuing pro- ces of education this week education week has been set aside to bring special emphasis to education the mot to of the week education is everybodys busi ness is particularly apt a time for stocktaking on education and its effect on the individual is not misplaced a gratifying report in the editors mail last week was a big fat envelope containing six sets of folders the largest of which was the budget statement of the treasur er of ontario statements from all levels of gov ernment at this time of year can be interesting they foretell the amount of taxation that will be required so the fact that ontario had a good big surplus last year and will not need any additional form of taxation was good news only reduction will benefit the race tracks and if you dont pat ronize these places you wont be affected by the one per cent reduction but every citizen will be interested in the 10 million increase voted to schools- larger grants to universities assistance to municipalities and other local agencies 13 percent above a year ago municipal road subsidies will be up 8 million and a huge program of road building which will cost 1738 millions which is spread pretty well j ever the whole province while the surplus of the past year was 749- 000 after providing 176 million for sinking fund and 285 million for highway reserve ac count the ontario government is budgetting for a surplus next year of 76800 aftex providing 177 million for the sinking fund the budget and the report indicate ontario to be in a very fine financial condition and enjoying an era of prosperity when tax collections are high and in most cases quite beyond expectations we are not going to infer that we thoroughly perused all the documents that came in that en velope but in it we found nothing but optimism and a report that any business would find most gratifying to present photo by w lock over the

bible into the hankul script for korea about the turn of the century a missionary had literaly worn out his eyes putting the bible into the clas sical korean script few people could read this however as the new simpler script was developed and novels and newspapers were printed in it the decision was made to print the bible in it also after years of painstakiiik effort the manuscript was completed and the first 400 panes were set up in the press in the bible house at seoul then war broke out the bible house was bombed nnd almost everything destroyed the remainder of the precious handwritten manuscript however was smukklcd out by the wife of rev younn bin im the master mind behind this translation she hid it in n pickle jar in the cellar of their home and hid her husband in o woodpile as expected the communists searched the place but miracuously missed the manuscript nnd the man knowing they would return again she smuggled it away over miles of guerrilla infested fields to a farm owned by a friend there it was buried in a barnyard when it had finally been smug gled out of the country to japan the first 400 pages were laboriously rewritten by hand as war cleared aroundpusanut

prohibition is due in 12 years the speaker head of the clinical science de partment at the lllinoisuniversity pointed out that history showed waves of drunkenness and de bauchery are always followed by waves of pro hibition history will tepeat itself and another dry wave is due about 1965 or 1967 he said the physiologist declared that for every dol lar the government collects from the sale of alco hol it loses 250 through alcoholism he brand ed as ridiculous and absurd the argument that the government has to cause alcoholism and j misery to get these few dollars in taxes the chicago lecturer said he favored the on tario ban on liquor advertising but added that it wasnt as effective as it might be he mentioned the advertising aimed at ontario through us television i today we are faced with the most seductive sort of advertising or propaganda for the use of alcohol that has ever appeared he said the ban on liquor advertising aids the temperance people in their efforts to educate the public to the evils of alcohol evidently the same routilne as old bar rooms which became so progressively repulsive iriat the majority wanted them eliminated it is said many of the top bootleggers of prohibition days are the top brass df the legalized trade of today women seek cheaper milk victoria cp housewives here want milk prices lowered mrs j e tail in an address to the victoria branch of the canadian association of consumers reviewed the clyhe royal commission report on british columbias dairying industry the report shows mrs tait wild that we in victoria pay the
