-. ~ - - ~ r - AHE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILL~ ONTARTO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBEk 28TH. 193Q . ....... THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH, 1939 Health Behaviour ln Sehool In Ontaria 's new pragram for elementary schools, health bas 'been given a foremost place. Hon. Dr. L. J. Simpson, Minister of Education for Ontario in the last issue of 'Health" pointcd out that ini the ncw pro- gram the goal of health cducatioîi will be bealth behaviaur - "Not wbat the cbild knows about hcalth but what he daes about lu the past, bealth has been mcrcly a subjeet for pupils ta study sa as to be able to answer questions. Often a pupil would pass a test with flying colours but there would bc no i.mpravement in bis or ber bealth. The new plan is ta inspire pupils ta do something about their own hcaltb. There will be regular chccking of hcaltb habi'ts ta sec that knowlcdge and practice go hand in hand, along with a carefully planned course of exercises in physical training. The ncw pragram also implies daily, as wcll as annual or semi-annual ex- amination of pupils individually. By this means, discases in their early stages wil be detccted, as well as defflcencies in bcight,. wight, hcaring and sight. In making provision for greater atten- tion ta health, Ontaria 's educational autb- arities bave rcviscd values placed on diffe.r- cnt studies. For example, arithmetic bas long been given first place; now it will be in a possible fifth place of importance. "It bas been ail too comman " says the Minister of Educatian "to find the fresb marning bours and at least thirty per, cent of the day 's working haurs, as well as the bulk of borne work, devoted ta this study." Before You Give - Get The Facts "War-time charity appeals arei naw re- ceiving the attention' of the Toronto Better Business Bureau," according ta A. R. Hask- cil, General Manager. "These appeals bave sprung up since the declaratian of war, and in one instance at least, ,a rcqucst bas been made ta the public for amaunts of as littie as 5e. During the past ten days a number of carnparatively unknown veteran argail- iz ations have been scling tickets ta business fir.ms and the public over the telephone, thus trading upon the sympatby of the publie in an cnd'cavour ta obtain maney ta assist 'needy veterans'." "Reputable organizations do nat use the telephone ta solleit funds, seli tickets, or seli advcrtisements in programs or veteran publications." "Money that is contributed ta fraud- ulent or fake charitable organizatians not only diverts enarmaus funds year after year from recognized institutions, but des- troys public confidence, and encourages the racketcer in this particular fanm of bis ne- fariaus aperatians."- "'Before You Give - Get Thbe Facts' is a goad slogan ta remember wben yau ne- ceive an appeal frani any unknown organ- ization'." "Baclk To Church", (To ronto Globe and Mail) The editonial page of ast wcck 's issue of The Canadian Statesman, Bowrnanville, ivas writtcn by members of the local Minister- ili Association. In previaus issues, editor- ils wenc contributed by farmers and by members of the Durhamn County Wornen's Institutes. ln ail unstance the experirnent was a distinct success. The clergymeny's contribution was part of the paper 's carnpaign ta get people gaing ta church reguiarly. Sept. 24tb was designated as "Back Ta Church" Sunday. The impor- tance of church-going and a marc religious life was stressed in rnany ways in this in- tencsting edition-interesting and unusual ini a secular publication. The keynote was provided in a front-page article headed, - "I 'm Gaing Baek To Oburch," and here a layman played bis part iii refrcshingly candid fashion. 'Un ahl honestly," he says facetiously, "I cannot say that 1 have expericnced any change * of heart, however great sucb a 'confession might please sorne of rny fricnds." He -realizes that he was "unhappy outside the cl2reh," which xerely reveals again the Inatinctive eraving iii the human hcart for sometbing more than the material things of life; nmre satisfac.tion for the spiritual aide of human nature.

" Sa this iayman decides ta be active again in church affairs. He hopes ta "achieve that inner oîtentment sô many old-fashioned Christians seemed ta possess, but which la conspicuously iacking in the Intelligentsia." Theire is iiothing new in this experiment of takiîîg up again church work and a mare religions outlook on life. With inereasing years man begins ta wonder whether the worid anîd its affairs-and these only-cýan bring comfort. It is at this stage he becomes either an out-and-out disheliever, or renews his faith in Christianity. One thing this writer la likely ta discover if hie perseveres ini the religions life is that hie iwll achieve that "inner contentment" lie observes among so many "ald-fashioned Ciristians." Hc has put in words wyhat is ini the thoughts of many people at ail times, b)ut especialiy now, when, largely because of disregard of, or contempt for, Christian- ity and its teniets the world is in its present terrible condition. Are Courses Now Compulsory? If the Hluntsville Forester is correct in the following item, Bowmanville la in the saine difficulty that Huntsville la coin- piaining about: "The local Board of Education are in a dilemma. The foreseen regulations of the Ontario departinent of educaion have been received, and they state dcfinitely that boards of educatioui shall cstablish a home economics course and a general shop cour~se in ecach secondary school under its juris- diction. 'Now what? There is flot any space available ini the local schools, and it is cx- pected that failure ta comply with the re- gulations will mean reduced grants with additional costs ta Huntsville ratepayers. Had the school by-law passed the whole question would have been settled." Food Surplus and Rising Prices In discussing rising prices in the United States, President Roosevelt stated that "there is no canceivable possibility of an actual shortage of foodstuffs in this couni- try, and that there would be no repetition of war4ime food profiteering sueh as which boomed the cost of living ln 1917 and 1918. " With the fourtb largest grain crop ever harvested in Oanada going into stdrage, with sa much butter in the country that the gaverninent bas been trying ta give it away, and a surplus of almost every kind of food, there cannot be any supportable reason for a skyrocketing of prices in this country.a Few will abject ta a reasonable increase, provided the increase ùetually reaches the producers, but governmental authority must step in and contrai any semblance of profiteering ini foodstuffs by xiddlemen. Observations and Opinions E "Give'more attýntion to girth contrai and less ta birtb contra," was the unique r advice Dr. M. T. MacEachren, President of C the International Hospital Association, gave ni Toronto Rotarians lat week in an address ai an "The Business of Keeping Well.". We fi know several men whose girth is getting almost beyond contrai, ai "'He is an ardent walker and apple- E eater." Sueh was the final sentence ta an interesting biographical sketch in The Fin- Fi ancial Post of Col. J. L. Raîston, recently to appointed Federal Minister af Finance. I Now, there 's a man wha ils destined ta live t a long and active life because hie includes the king of ail fruits - the health-giving apple - in his daily diet. vil w "What burned me up lu the last wa r was t the fact that I risked my life and endured W much bardship and reeeived $1.10 a day and allawances as a "buck" private, while the un munition worker at haine received as higli P( as $14 a day. There should be sanie form of f enactment ta prevent such inequality this 0 turne, " stated a local returned man ta a or group of his pals. Truc the rate of pay has been increased ta $1.30 a day and allow- th, ances.

WHY 18 PRICE OF BUTTER UP (Sinicae Reformer) wan thene bas appeaned ample ev- idence of the need for ihe new Wartime Prices and Trade Board in Canada. Despite the fact that tbe Federal Government in June hast ourchased four million nounds of butter for f ree distribution tg peedty famihies in an effort ta* nelieve tbe Out of butter in storage add ta belp the dairv industny, thene il reported ta be f ifty-five million pounds of butter in staragze bought at depress- ed prices. Since war wis dcclared butter bas "one up f ive cents a pound ta the 'consumer, which re- vresents a wartime profit an ti* butter in starage of aba<at $2,700,000, flot anc cent of which Roes. ta the aid of thc dairy industry.' Again, with fortv-twa njlDon potinds of meat in storage, meat bas advanced in prksc about four cents a Pound, or a profit of $1,690,000 on the meat in storage, flanc of whicb reaches the man who raised the beef. Flour is up one dollar a hundredweight al niilled f romn wheat bougit at the low prnce. FARM, OUTLOOK MORE CHEERFUL (Newmarket Eu'a' One brigzht spot in tbis dark world is the prospect that farmers will for a while zet a littie better price for their vroduce. Reliable figures have shawn that farmers bave been sçlling for less than'the cast ofproduction for sanie vears nast. Haw is that pas- sible? It would not be possjble if tbe fanmer werc not pnepared ta do without bis own waires or t9 work unreasonablv bard or to let bis farn run down, in tbc hope of a change fan the better. It bas been quàzested that there shouild be noa government attempt ta curb the risc in price of farmi produce, in view of the dif fi- cuit tinies the fanmer has experienc- ed in the recent past. Ttg stenms onlv reasonabie. Farn prices are g?ing up in an- ticipation of an incrcased exDendi- turc of maney by the zovernments of Britain, France and Canada.

COUNTRY BARBER The barber i the- country is a chap thats gaod ta know. If by chance yau're fond ai fish- ing he can tell yau where ta go. He knows when bass are striking- and the kind of food they crave, And wlll tell you ail about it wliile he's givig y»u a shave.
