United Church Gives $52,000 to British Churches The first objective of the "Aid to British Churches Fund" of $50,000 beîng raised by the Unit- ed Church of Canada to help par- ent churches in Britain in their ministry of preachmng, healing and comfort in the bombed-out areas, has now been reached and passed, it was announced today by Rev. Dr. Gordon A. Sisco, Secretary of General Council. The total sum given by United Church of Cana- da members to date is $52,000 and it has been dccided to recommend to the Sub-Exccutive of General Council that the Fund be kept open as long as the need exists. The money raiscd has been sent to Britain, to be shared by the Methodist Church in England, the Congregational Union of Eng- land and Wales, the Church of Scotland and the Presbyterian Church of England. Information receîved at United Church headquarters in Toronto from the parent churches in Bni- tain reveals continued need in the bombed areas of Britain, and as long as this need exists it is felt that the "Aid to British Churches Fund" should remfain open. Ac- knowledgnwnts of gifts are made in the United Church Observer. British churches have suffered a heavy blow from German at- tacks. Hundreds of churches have been demolished. Scores of con- gregations have been broken up and moved into other areas. Many ministers are carrying on a valued mmnistry of healing and comfort in the underground shelters. Canadians Must Attend To Food Supply Q u estion And Science of Nutrition (Cantinucd tram page 1) who bas a fine technical back- ground. He will, it is expected, organize in Canada a more thar- ough comprehension o! the value a! proper nutrition. It is now an cstablished fact that a large pro- portion o! the inhabitants o! all cauntries, even including those who arc well-to-do, are victlms a! malnutrition. There appears ta be nô doubt that many of the bodily afflictions tram which bu- manity suffeis qre caused by im- proper diet. May I give you some back- ground as ta Canadian Lit e Insur- ance companies, in this matter? Thcy have been doing a work i coftncction with public health in Canada which I think desenves ta be betten knawn. Public Heaith Eightccn ycars aga this month, after a gîcat deal o! urging by a few men, piominent amongst wbom were the late Mi. Edward E. Reid a! the London Lite and Mi. V. R. Smith of the Confeder- atian Lite, the Executive« Com- mittee of the Canadian Lite In- surance Officers Association ap- pointcd its first committee ta sug- gest means for paîticipating in public health campaigns. Five principles weîe therefare cstablished under which the As- sociation shauld act. It was de- cidcd that ail such prajccts must be: (1) Beneficial ta the gencral hcalth of the public. (2) Educational in nature. (3) Guidcd by notgbly respan- sible people. (4) Of national on at least pro- vincc-wide importance. (5) Dcsigncd ta become self- supportig. I draw yaur particular atten- tion ta that last item. We wcre fat expectmng .ta subsidize pro- jects by perpetual annuities. The chic! matters studicd and assistcd wcre Tubcrculosis, Can- cer, Child Weltarc (including pie- natal and post-natal advicc ta p)arents), Dental Hcalth, and Nu- trition. As an outcome, amongst many products we have to-day several publicly supponted Sani- taria particulgrly in Eàstenn Pro- vinces where none existed before, fiee dental clinics travelling in outlying districts, and pie-natal and post natal letters bcing sup- plied ta thousands needing the' information. These arc but cx- amples a! thc results.

Over hait a million copies in English and French were distributed. Millions of Bookîcta The édition was exhausted ia f ew months. A new édition fol- lowed, printed in colon. Hal! a million copies a! this also were distributed. Inspectons a! the On- tario Departmnent o! Educatian cxprcssed keen interest In the baoklet and many copies were used as a helpfui and pleasant way o! interesting school childien in the subject of' health. The booklets werc distributed not anly by the Life Iinsurance campanies but at Home and Scbool Clubs, by Wamcen's Clubs and welfare work- ens throughaut Canada. It bas been necessary ta have a third édition issued, brought up ka date and again colored. The Ontario Department o! Ed- ucation's intcrest was such that i the latter part o! the Fala! 1938 tbey suggested that the ma- tenial be made a basis for posters tan use in schools in confection with health and nutrition classes. A set a! eight caloned posters was piepared and 5,000 sets (40,000 posters an ail) wene distributcd by the Department o! Education in the primary schools tbroughout OntariQ. The printing o! these was financcd by thîce Lite Insurance campanies. The reports indicatcd tbat they were found moat useful and cneated a widcsprcad intenest in the scbools throughout the Province. To still turtber arause public interest in Nutrition, Dr. Tisdaîl, wlth the assistance a! sevenal Lite Insunance companies, un 1938 -ar- nanged ta have leading Nutrition- ists from Great Bnitain and the United States come ta Canada.

Sur John Boyd Onr, whiom we have with us this evening, lecturcd at Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Hamilton, Lon- don and Toronto. In 1940, because Nutrition and War were sa closely linked, a new booklet was prpred entitled "Food for Hcalth in Peace and War." 'his again was a joint pro- duct a! the Canadian Medical As- sociation and the Canadian Lite Insurance Officers Association. This time, howAever, the Canadian Red Cross assisted in the distribu- tion and the cost. One and a haîf million copies were piinted o! the first edition. An extensive pub- licity campaign was arranged in the daily and week]y papers o! Canada and before the end of the year the fiist edition had been exhausted by public démand. A new edition was then prepaed o! a futher hait million copies. The hope o! those who arranged the matter was that evcry househald in Canada would request a, copy and study it. Joint Committees During this period there has been a grwing inteest on the pat o! oui ncwspapers and maga- zines in this most important mat- ter. The joint committe o! the Medical and Insurance Associa- tions has had magnificent support in their campaign from a nation- wide body o! daily, weekly and manthly publications. To-day, in-. deed, anyonc who reads must know that the question o! proper nutrition is a live topic befoe the Canadian publi. It is therefre a paiticulai satisfaction toalal con- cened ta sec the Dominion Gov- ernmcnt now taking a maie active part in this woîk. We hope the work will now take on a national character. Wc believe the cam- paign started by ur two associa- tions is reaching a climax. T-day we have with us nc whose experience if this matter makes him an outstanding au- thority, Sir John Boyd Onr, Dir- ectr o! thc Rowett Research In- stitute, Aberdeen, Scotland. In the lst !cw years Sir Jon's work as been largly n Gov- ernment committees and com- missions dealing with agriculture and public health. He as been interested in the economic aspect of the problems o! health and agriculture and.has very strongly advocated in speeches and writ- ings the idea that national food requirements. sbould be the basis o! agricultural plannfing-and that biinging national ditaries Up ta a new standard o! health would bnring not only great improvement in national health and physique, but wuld bring also prosperity ta agriculture and would lead ta incîeascd inter-imperial trade.
