This là one appeal which we take pleasure li supportlng. "Healthy child- ret may. pitcli snow bals but we would like aduits ta 'pitch li' against tuber- cuk>ssl," is one comment Witli which Vie agree completely. 'We would like ta glve a brief history ôf'4rnblicity for Christmas Seals. Fifty y"mhave passed since Canadian editors uran ging the publie ta, buy Seals. It al.started in Toronto in 1908 when the old Globe ran an editorial on itsfront page announeing something new - the sale of Chr'istmas stamps ta provide funds for anfl-tuberculosls work. The idea was new to this country, said the editorial writer, but Denznark had been using it, since Chtistmas 1904, with splendid results. Sui-ely Canadlans were as willlng as the Dahes ta launch a caznpaign to wipe out tuberéuiôsls. The speciai 'virtue of the scheme, whiclt had been the inspiration of a Copen- hage4 postman, was that it gave everyone a chance ta help. Up ta that timne the general idea was that doctors were the only ones 'who could do anything about disease. This opened up a way for every- one ta take a hand, according to their abilities. Men, women and children could help,'rih or poor, young or aid. Te editorial finished by saying that from that day (Dec. 9th) until the day bef are Christmas there would be news on the front page about what was happen- ing. Replies poured li from as f ar east as Saint John and as far west as Regina,' from a littIe girl of elght and a woman over 80. Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death and many thought lt incur- able, but thére were people ready ta give battie and do their bit. Every Christmas since, Canadians li gr owing numbers have bought Christmas Seals ta help stamp out tuberculosis. Time showed that what had once seemed hope- less is possible if we will stay the course.. We have known it can be done. There is stili a very sizeable job of prevention ta be done, and it is for pre- ventive services that Christmas Seal funds are used. Between now and thig trne tomorrow there wili probably be between 25 and 30 new cases found In Canada. It adds up ta 9,000 people learning that they' have an illiness that will keep them in hospital for the best part of a year, or longer. If you think 9,000 new cases of tuber- culoais are too many you can do somnething right naw. You can buy and use the Christmas seals sent you by aur Tuber- culosis Association. Send your donations in the envelope you receive with the seals.

Canadian Council of Churches has now joined li expressing grave cancern about social consequences of labour strie apparent in many parts cf the country, States The Fort Erie Letter-Rov'iew. At the bierinial meeting at Winnipeg, the Reverend Emlyn Davies of Toronto, presi- dent of the Canadian Council of Churches, said he believed strikes and lockouts should be abolished as weapons of gainrng advantage in labour disputes, and com- p ulsory arbitration enforced. "I say this,"I he said, "as a member of a worklng mnan 's family Who has fought for the right to, strike for more than 25 years." Strong support will be found for Mr. Davies' atatement that "I can compare a strike- only ta war-which I think la sub- Christian and evil. A strike or a lockout la a resart ta violence againat people who are only innocent by-standers." Many Canadian workers who belang ta unions wll agree with these views. Strike action, as Mr. Davies rightly states, is a social evil at any time. But strike action that par- alyzes essential industries does irreparabie harm ta hundreds in the labour dispute. Canadians, elther individually or as à nation, cannot afford social and economic consequencea of prolonged labour strif e. It la timely and heartening ta, find this view sharcd by the prealdent of th. Canadien Council cf Churches. ]Recom- mendation of the Reverend Mr. Davies that compulsory arbitration, blnding on bath parties ta a labour dispute and allow- ing settiement on the merits and without actual hardship, should replace strike action, should flot go unheeded, maintaina The Letter-Review.

"The federel gavernmcnt col- locts some $3 00,000,000 annuel tax revenue fromn the tobacco industry," Mr. Strobbe said, "and 1 teed we have been great- ly let dawn because thé govern- ment bas been îunwilling ta lm- mediatoly modify outdated leg- islation ta make the money available."

LESS COLORFUL Windsor Star The tremendous inriprovement of livestock and poultry on Ontario farms in the past few decades has had one adverse effect. It has taken a lot of color frorn the farms of the province. Nowadays a herd of beef or dairy cattie is distinguished by its uniformity. Each animal is almost a complete replica of the others. The same applies to a litter of pigs, or a flock of hens. Time was, not long ago, when a herd of cattle represented most1 of the colors of the rainbow. In1 the same field one would see black, grey, white and red cows,1 wlth almost ail possible varia- tions of the same. being convened by Mrs. J. Van Nest, assisted by Mrs. B. Heavy- sage and Mrs. L.
