PAGE TEN THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE, ONTARTO THURSDAY, OCT. 25th, 1945 Dr. Dorothy James Writes Series Of Articles for Cdn.Home Journal Of interest to a wide circle ai friends in Bowmanville and dis. trict is the recent announcemen1 that Dr. Dorothy James, who is physician in charge of the medi. cal care of the children in the Infant's Home, Toronto, has alsc been appointed to the editoria: staff of the Canadian Home Jour. nal, a monthly periodical of wid< circulation, issued by the Con- solidated Press, Toronto, pub lishers of the noted weekly Saturday Night. Fulfilling this new appointment while continu- ing her official duties at the In fant's Home, Dr. James will write a monthly column on problems o: child care. Her first article ap pears on page 53, October issue 1945, in the magazine. Dr. Dorothy James is the only daughter of Mrs. James and the late Norman S. B. James of Bow, manville. In introducing her tc the Canadian public, the Cana- dian Home Journal tells that she comes of a "writing family" bu1 chose medicine as a persona. career. The reference is to her grandfather, the late M. A. James owner-publisher of The States- man, to her father, Norman, as- sociated with the present editor George W. James, her uncle, Dr M. J. A. James for years in news- paper work in Cleveland, Ohio, and her brother, Capt. John M. James, lately returned to The Statesman after service abroad. Dr. James comes to her new du- ties with this background. The Canadian Home Journal, telling of its newly appointed di- rector of the Well Baby Centre says that in appointing Dr. James, it is adding a new force to the sweeping endeavor Canada is making to raise the health of its children to a new high level. Dr. James will write in clear terms to mothers about the wise care of children, for she is a specialist in that field. Three countries contributed to her medical education. Graduate of the University of Toronto, Dr. James took a post-graduate course at College Hospital, Phila- delphia, then at the Sick Chil- dren's Hospital, Toronto, and finally she completed post-gradu- ate studies at the famous King Edward VII Memorial Children's Hospital in England. Then she returned to her native Canada, to specialize in her chosen field. Continuing, the magazine in- troduction observes that Dr. James is in daily contact with parents facing problems in con- nection with the health of their children, and the sound advice that has meant so much to the health of many Canadian ehildren in the past, will be offered to readers across Canada through t,' Dr. Dorothy M. James the columns of the Canadian Home Journal. In a personal sketch, the article says: "Dr. James is a vivid and friendly person. Children trust her; so do their parents. She has auburn hair, hazel eyes, a warm smile but a keen and searching way of looking at the problems that come to her. She knows that the greatest influence on any child's health is in the hands of the child's mother and together they can work out the best solu- tion for continuing health." "Prevention rather than cure is the greatest weapon the medi- cal world knows against disease and prevention is what Dr. James will more largely discuss in her writings. The home care of a sick child, the intelligent following of the attending doc- tor's orders, the care of the in- fant, the food needs, the health- ful finality to post-school devel- opment are matters which will be featured in the column con- ducted by Dr. James." Her first article deals with steps to be taken in pre-natal care, then care of the infant in the pre-school age. Next the junior school child and finally the High School child. All of which is preliminary to the many phases for discussion dealing particular- ly with the different problems to be encountered, step by step in child care. Space in The States- man does not permit any extend- ed review of present or future articles. With congratulations to Dr. James in her new sphere of activity, we have indicated where her professional advice may be found from month to month in the Canadian Home Journal. Freight Assistance for Movement of Feeder How Better Business Bureau Lambs and Cattle -a- Hon. James G. Gardiner an- nounced on October 3rd that freight assistance will be given during the remainder of 1945 by the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture to encourage the move- ment of feeder lambs and of feed- er cattle from dried-aut areas in the provinces of Alberta and Sas- katchewan. To avoid congestion in stock- yards, and with a view to discour- aging the slaughter of unfinished livestock, the assistance will ap- ply only on shipments purchased at and billed from country points in the prescribed area to country points in other parts of the Do- minion where feed is available. A refund of 50 per cent of the actual freight charges will be allowed on carload shipments billed from any country point in that part of the provinces of Al- berta and Saskatchewan lying to the west of the Canadian Pacific Railway lines-North Portal to Moose Jaw, Moose Jaw to Re- gina; Regina to Warman, and south of the Canadian National line-Warman to Jasper. The assistance will also apply on stock purchased at the Moose Jaw Feeder Sale or at the Saskatoon Feeder Sale. The concession will apply on feeder lambs born in 1945 billed to any country point east of the Alberta-Britsh Columbia bound- ary, and on feeder steers born af- ter January 1, 1943, billed to any country point east of the province of Manitoba. Lambs shipped to Eastern Can- ada must be loaded in double- deck tars, not less than 275 head to the car, or in single-deck cars, not less than 140 head to the car. The refund will be payable when the applicant is in a posi- tion to certify that the stock have been retained in his ownership for a period of three months from date of shipment in the case of cattle, and for a period of two months from date of shipment in the case of feeder lambs. The re- fund will not cover feed supplied en route, sanding, decking, car cleaning, or other charges against the shipment. The concession does not apply on shipments secured through speculative channels while en route or on arrival at destination, nor on any stock purchased at a stockyard and forwarded under through billing, originating in the prescribed area and diverted at such stockyards to a destination or consignee different from that shown on the original bill of lad- ing. A carload bought jointly by or on order for two or more farmers should be consigned to them jointly. 1' 'i N0 NE E D to remind him that Canada's plansfor his wel- fare are as far-reaching and generous as any in the world. BUT THERE IS NEED to prove that now, with the life- and-death struggle ended, we are as determined and wholehearted as ever in our resolve to give him the best break in the world. HE WILL BE WATCHING the outcome of this Ninth Loan Drive. He knows that on it depends the success of our plans for his rehabilitation and employment. There can be only one answer. And that is the overwhelming support, by every Canadian, of Canada's Greatest Victory Loan. S9e re#ene & Protects Returned Soldiers A very important function of the Better Business Bureau, with main offices in Toronto, is to pro- tect the returning service person- nel of the Canadian forces against the predatory elements of our population who constantly seek personal profit through var- ious form-; of rackets, was the statement made by the Bureau's manager, A. R. Haskell, guest speaker at the Rotary Club lun- cheon in the Balmoral Hotel, Friday. Dealing with his subject, "Rackets Against Service Men" Mr. Haskell gave a rounded out- line of the organization with many details of its operation. The speaker was introduced by Ross Stutt who told that he was a Toronto Rotarian, not only well known in Bowmanville but all across the country for with his associates engaged in promoting better business ethics, the gen- eral public and businessmen have been saved many thousands of dollars through exposing the sharp practices of sharks operat- ing on the fringe of laws designed for the protection of the public. People of Bowmanville, from time to time have benefited from the warnings and advice of the Better Business Bureau. Mr. Haskell explained that the Bureau was originally formed for public protection and 15 months ago they approached the military authorities to seek co-operation in making plans to protect sol- diers against sharks when the period of demobilization was reached. There was now direct liaison with the War Veterans' Association, the War Assets Cor- poration and other government agencies to prevent soldiers be- ing swindled. Through the issue of pamphlets, direct letters and radio talks, the public are in- formed of the types of rackets launched and what steps to take in defeating them. The Better Business Bureau was a non-profit, fact-finding as- sociation, supported by its mem- bers and the public as the only means of revenue. But its ser- vices were at the disposal of everyone and it was affiliated with a like organization in the USA, with free exchange of in- formation. Its affairs were di- rected by 15 businessmen all giv- ing their services free of charge, and in the main office at Toronto there was a staff of 10, a central setup working with subsidiaries in other centres. Letters and pamphlets issued last year from the Toronto offices exceeded 12,000, all handled without charge to the general public. Typical of warnings given were the general cautions: "Don't give information to fake investi- gators. Don't sign anything with- out getting a copy in writing and if in doubt get authoritative ad- vice first. Use freely, without charge, the facilities of the Better Business Bureau." Using these simple precautions will avoid côstly disappointments. In regard to protection for re- turned soldiers, the main discus- - sions centred about where and how to buy a business, a used or new car, property and building a home and in general the many things found perplexing to those who have been so long absent from the country. In regard to general rackets, information on them was constantly notated. For general information the Bureau has issued a booklet: "Facts Re- garding Rackets" and more than 100,000 copies have been circu- lated among the armed forces. The booklet presents informa- tion on Victory Bonds, jobs, clothing allowances, gratuities, insurance, fake veterans' organi- zations, collection of alleged pa- COURTICE W.A. MEETS AT MRS. J. GEARING'S The Courtice Women's Associa- tion, at a meeting at the home of Mrs. Joseph Gearing on Wednes- day, Oct. 17, answered the roll call by telling of something for which they were thankful. The- topic, "The Church in Africa," was taken ably by Mrs. Pen- found. Mrs. Cecil Adams led in prayer. The business at the meet- ing consisted of preparations for the bazaar. Rev. H. C. Linstead closed the meeting with prayer. Refreshments were served, twelve members and six visitors were present. YOUNG PEOPLE'S UNION Trinity Young People's Union met Monday evening under the convenership of Marion Foley and the Christian Missions de- partment. An excellent program was presented including vocal duet by Doris and Mary Alldread accompanied by Mrs. Alldread, and humorous reading by Betty Smales. Rev. J. E. Griffith gave the topic. Speaking of Missions, Mr. Griffith sought ta give the word a new meaning and stressed the need of co-operation among the people of Canada for the needs of people of the occupied countries o! Europe. Mr. Griff- ith's talk was a challenge ta all Christians to set aside thoughts of hate and revenge else this war will have been fought in vain and world-wide, lasting peace will nlot prevail. Service o! worship continuing the theme of the address was given by Marion Foley assisted by Jean Crossman. Business period was conducted by the president. Meeting on Monday will be in charge of the Christian Citizenship conveners. The lecturer dropped his glass lantern slides on the way ta the hall, and that's why the illustrat- ed talk on modern architecture turned out to be one on "How Berlin Looks Today."- Boston Globe. triotic funds, mortgages, picture frame rackets, and a whole range of activities under which fakirs suavely attempt to chisel money from soldiers with spurious blan- dishments. The speaker told that all that was necessary to get the facts and competent advice was the investment of a postage stamp on a letter to the Better Business Bureau. Mr. Haskell quoted several in- stances of how wives of service- men had been separated from hard earned savings by slickers promoting pernicious rackets; women who sought a business and a home for the time when the husband would come back, only to be left destitute and disillus- ioned while the racketeers dis- appeared to other fields. Concluding, the speaker warn- ed that constant vigilance was needed and with the co-operation of the public much distress could be avoided and rackets controlled even if they could not be entirely eliminated. He said, "We invite the people to come and see us, to write to us and direct atten- tion to any cases found anywhere in the nature of rackets directed particularly against service men. All letters and information will receive prompt attention. We are doing a job and you can help us make it more conclusive and ef- fective." Bob Stevens moved the vote of thanks and felt that members had been given information of high value for anything we can do to help soldiers is our job. President Cy Slemon observed that the luncheon was in the na- ture of a family gathering, with no visitors, no birthdays and no correspondence. Jack Griffith reminded members that the base- ball banquet would be held in Trinity Church, Friday evening, Oct. 19, with a showing of pic- tures and an address by Ed. Bow- man of Whitby. MANY SOLDIERS MARRIED WHILE OVERSEAS Defence Minister Abbott an- nounced in the House Tuesday, that 32,000 Canadian soldiers were married in the British Isles during the late war. To them were born 16,500 children. As of Sept. 1, 1945, 12,000 brides with 8,100 children have already reached Canada. Still overseas waiting transpor- tation priorities are 20,000 brides and 8,400 children. The minister stated that preference in coming home was still given soldiers and brides and children must await their turn as shipping becomes available.
