Several British war brides in Toronto and a number from outside have contacted the Red Cross in an effort to get back to England. This causes all departments a great deal of unnecessary work. Apart from the fact that it is unfeasible because of present shipping conditions, each of the brides who made application to come to Canada also signed at that time an undertaking promising that she would make no application to return to Britain until after the war.

With the return of our soldiers there will be an increase in the number of cases in Canada. Almost all infants 6 to 12 months of age are susceptible to Diphtheria; the death rate for this disease is highest among those who are in the early years of life; and half of all deaths from the disease occur among children of pre-school age. In these circumstances it is obviously desirable that diphtheria toxoid be administered to children before they have attained school age, PREFERABLY DURING THEIR FIRST YEAR OF LIFE! An added advantage of this practice is obvious from the fact that reactions to diphtheria toxoid are very rarely encountered among children of pre-school age, whereas in the case of older children a reaction is possible. The administration of diphtheria toxoid will be done for all citizens of Colborne without charge by the Medical Officer of Health who will be at his office Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 5 o'clock. COLBORNE BOARD OF HEALTH "An army 'can move only as fast as its supplies." That truth is well established. Engineers and infantry need artillery support. All need ammunition ..; food ; ; . and they need moral support : : ; proof that we, at home, are doing all we can to back them up. Attack wins objectives. Support wins Wars.

Bear in mind that part of the money which Victory Bonds provide is used Victory Bonds are a good investment:: s the safest place that you can put your savings. You should buy them to nave money for things you want to do when the war ends. (In case of emergency you can get cash for them.)
