R. MacBrien, Oshawa, barrister, has written to the editor giving some of bis impressions of that part of Canada since he last saw it prior to the war. They are publishec below. Major MacBrien served fÈVE years with British forces overseas and returned to become Progres- sive Conservative candidate in On- tario County. Besides his lega' practîce carried on at Suite 201 Genosha Hotel, hé is also a direc- tor of the international -organiza. tion Civitas. His letter states: 1 think the most profound im- pression which a Canadian likE myself gets who bas lived in al Prairie Provinces, British Columý bia and the North West Territor. ies, and kept in close touch witl themn in pre war years is thei: vastness. One almost forgets thi greatness o! expanse which is Can ada, and therefore widely separ ates her twelve million people inti parts living under quite differer economic conditions.

W. Miller, County Health Officer, spoke on Medicine *up Through the Ages, stressing the preventive side of medicine. He quoted fre- quently from the Bible to show how the children of Israel were concerneà over disposai of rub- bish, the isolation? of the patient and the quarantiniing of contacts. The people of the Grecian era em.- braced physical culture, dlean liv- ing and developed philosophical minds which have neyer been equalled. The age of the hair shirt or the Middle Ages found uncleanliness a virtue and the great sanitary engineering works of the Romans in ruin. Plague became the pestilence that walk- eth in darkness accounting for 25 million dead in Europe alone. The early modern period saw the first beginnings of preventive medi- cine on a scientific basis with the discovery of bacteriology by Pasteur and the introduction of vaccination by William Jenner. Dr. Miller outlined a nine-point program for a modern school health service stressing improved living conditions in the rural schools as well as complete pro- tection against communicable dis- eases. In this connection it was learned that less than 10 per cent of the people of Durham were protected against smalipox. Dr. Miller urged aduits and children alike to get vaccinated as soon as possible because experience had proved so often that when the protection rate f eh below a min- imum, smallpox of the most viru- lent type intervened. In answering questions concern- ing longevity he thought Canada was a pretty fair place to live in becausethe expectancy of if e had risen from 45 years to 61 since the turn of the century. Dr. Miller added however that if all the prin- ciples of preventive medicine were applied that we could certainly expect this figure to be improvec upon because New Zealand who had the highest standard of health- fui living in the British Empire -boasted an average expectancy of elife of 71 years. Il Trinity Young People HoUd 'National Night' "National Night" was observed at Trinity Young Peopie's Union Monday evening in conjunction with the Dominion wide program of the National Council of the Un- ited Church Young People. Hel- en Pritchard presided for the bus- iness session when letters of ap- preciation and thanks for parcels received at Christmas were read from members of the Union who are stili on active service over- seas. Newcastle Union accepted an invitation to join with Trinîty on Feb. llth. Program was presented under the leadership of Arline North- cutt of the Christian Citizenship department. An educational quiz on National Y.P.U. and National Council was conducted by the con- vener assisted by several mem- bers. To complete the program and give a more exact picture of the work of National, Doris Dud- ley gave a comprehensive account of the se±up of young people's work commencing with the Local Union, Presbytery Union, Confer- ence Y.P.U. and finally at the top is National Young People's Union. "Canadians United in Christ" was the theme of an impressive worship service conducted by Ar- line Northcutt with Marie Thomp- son assisting. To open this ser- vice Helen Nelles played quietly "Handel's Largo." Recreation was enjoyed with Dorothy Faulkner in charge. 1 Fancy Price Recelved For Carrnage Team 1- -- 1 can draw reins over .fancy light horses, the motor car wili take second place in the esteem of peo- pie who remember the good old days. That quaiity, conformation, action, stili prevails in Cochrane stables was shown lately when Russell Cochrane, Cartwright, sold a team of carrnage horses for the neat sum of $800. At ail fali fairs hereabouts, one of the chief attractions have been the exhibits from Cochrane sta- bles with single and double har- ness high-steppers hitched to f a- mous McLaughlin carrnages. That is why grandstands were built and remain se popular. Now that the, Canadian Na- tional Exhibition is about to re- sume it is predicted that people from this district will be much in evidence to again see these Dur- ham County horses in action in show rings. Few breeders have done more to advertise this county than these confirmed horsemen. 51 By sending your clothes M e to us you.flot only avail you.rself of an expert dry cleaning service, but also of the conveniefice of having them picked up and delivered.
