their very souls and lives there are others who can never forget since they too suffered because of the par tfdpation in the struggle of their kin folk and in that group are many of us young people born since the war who knew not its horrors may be tempted to forget- but this must not be god forbid that we should drift lightly and easily into a war that can be avoided by careful and honorable negotiation we believed that the last war was a war to end war brave men fought and died to that end and others were maimed and weakened but the crisis of recent months has proven that that battle is still with us the torch of the fallen is handed to as that in peace ful struggle we may complete the task let us bravely and courageous ly carry on in time of war passions of hate and violence are aroused and must be aroused to win the battles but in peace time love and goodwill understanding and cooperation have opportunity to settle by careful artal tration the disputes of men and na tlons let us exalt these virtues or the good and well being of all let us nw for peace on earth good will f men it was to that end that our saviour came into the world and died in his name we shall win one

was meant to bring out the original in growing boys and girls and educate them in the prevention of dental dls eases so much interest has been shown in dental educational by both the dominion and provincial govern ments and life insurance companies that the provincial government has set aside 10000 this year for this pur pose while the ontario life insurance officers association annually donate 8 000 00 to the canadian hygiene clinic to organize a dental clinic in any town it is necessary to have the co operation of all the dentists in the town as well as the medical officer of health

such as the lions club who are sponsoring the- clinic the women s institute includ ing nearby branches the local coun cil or women georget business mens association and others the next step would be to have an inspec tion made of all children s teeth and irregularities designated on charts supplied parents should not expect a complete examination at this time but after a hurried check and some of the cavaties and infections located a more rigid check could be made when the child goes to the clinic or dentist for treatment w t who can aflowuto-ha- thelr children s teeth properly cared lor bv
