The blood stream, or the cir- cuiatory systemn as it is more carrectly known, is the.lifeline of the human body. Every second of every minute of every day, fromn the nursery to the grave, blood courses through the body carrying rlaurishment and oxygen from head to toe and carrying away waste. Today most bospitais in On- tario have a blood bank. This ta a storehouse for biood, kept at certain specified tempera- tures. When the lufe of a Da- tient appears ta be eb'oing away, biood fromn the bank is injected into the ailing indivi- dual's veins. The resuits, in most instances, are virtualiy iniraculous, and time and again hospital patients who have been on the bring of eternity have quickly responded toaa transfusion and, in a few days, have been restored ta normal health. The first reported attempt at a transfusion with buman blood dates back ta 1654. But, up to the year 1900 people bad a baf- Dr. Margarei 0f Macdonc Has Interesti Many o! aur female readers Who attended Macdonald Insti- tute at Guelph will be especially interested in the career of its present principal.

By Joseph Lister Rutledge The news ai the day includes an item to the effect that there ls a move to organize bank em- ployees. The movement seems to have been prompted fromn without rather than within, and it appearS as a part of the over- riding strategy of unionism, whlch does flot like to see pockets of satisfied and unorg- anized empioyees who might be- corne the nucieus of apposition to some officiai union policies.1 Perhaps an organization that pravides the benefits that union- ism says it provides should have no cause ta fear, but obviousiy union arganizers are moving ta remedy this situation and make cantrol of the workers com- plete. There can be no argument as to the right of the worker ta join a union of bis own choos- ing if he so desires. Virtually everyane also will agree with the basic purpase of the union movement ta benefit the circum- stances of the worker by al ieg- ai and reasonable means. There are facets of unionism, however, with which as good citizens, we cannot sympathize. Happy as we are to see the work- er benefit, we cannot be happy when his benefits are secured at a cost taotCher workers, ini taking from themn their right ta work. We can have littie symn-i pathy with a segregation thatt% wauld make an unorganized worker an outcast and restrict bis right ta make a living, and we feel that is as bitter a wrong as is segregatian between white and black citizens. It sbould seem ta us, as cit- izens, just as shameful ta remain voiceless wbile pieket lies are made inviolate with police sanc- tion, or wbiie uninvolved plants are hampered or cîosed and their workera denied a liveli- hood, or where unions arrogate ta theinselves the rights ai man- agement, ta decide who shal be empioyed and why, as it would be ta us te make a division between first and second-class citizens. But there is no use being smug about it. As govermients and industries and as citizens we bave accepted these en- croachments on aur basic rights witbout a pratest Theme la no one ta biame but ourselves. What can be dane? At least it can be urged that we support tbe worker who wants ta be free ta make bis own choices as a free man. This is nat a chal- lenge ta organized labor. It is merely a return ta the prin- cipies under wbich unionism was founded-the right ai a worker ta join a union ai bis own choice, or not ta join, and, organized or unorganized, the rigbùtot work and ta make bis own free decisions.

A heart-warming picture af kindiy action does not tell the whole story. Where children especiaily are concerned, it is not enough to "do good", we must do good wisely. children needing speciai klnds of care and treatment. If children must live apart from their familes, there shouli be saine means ai ensuring that they will receive care suited to their individuai needs. An insti- tution in Ontario, uniess it is a charitable institution as defined in the Charitable Institutions Act, is flot supervised by a pro- vincial supervisar. [t has only to conform ta the usuai legai re- quirements as to'space and san- itary conditions, and ta avoid neglect witbin the meaning ai the Ontario Chiid Weii are Act. If the home were a faster home in the usual sense, it would be supervised by the agency piacing the cbild there. One af the main misgivings about the care of children in a privately aperated baardlng home is the probable lack af skilied long-term, planning forý the children. The boards and: staffs ai regulary constituted' social agencies can bring exper- ience ta bear at every point af planning for a chiid. The staff workers discuss a problem. Most carelully with the family and every resaurce is used ta avoid, if Possible, the drastic solution of separating a chiid from bis awn home. If be must be sepa- rated, the agency works with the famiiy ta enable tbem ta take the chiid home eventuaily or ta make same ather permanent plan, possibly adoption. Legisiation provides that cer- tain social agencies can, if neces- sary, become the legal guardian ai the child. Wben a child is living in a private "ýhome" under an informai arrangement, there may be difficulty in determining who is responsible for him sbould the need arise for public pay- ment af bis board, medicai care, etc. Without the social and iegai protection an agency auth- orized by iaw can give, the child, bis parents, and even the people he lives with may suifer seriaus hardshlp. Years bave *been spent In building up good cbild weifare services on this continent, and in Ontario alone in 1953-54 author- ized agencies cared for 26,203 chlldren, nearly 80 per cent af themn in foster homes and tbe rest in speciai institutions. They also belped 46,408 mare chlldren in. their own homes. Not ail social agencies are perfect, nor do ail social workers have equal skili. But there is, it seems ta us, a far greater chance of child- ren receiving good service from such sources than through hap- hazard private placement.
