Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 19th, 1945 A STRANGE OMISSION The appeal for funds for a new building for the Hospital for Sick Children has brought a magnificent response from those whose hearts are touched by youthful suffering, from children in their classrooms, parents whose child has received healing care at the old hospital; from all classes and groups. The coppers, nickles and dimes from children at summer camps for the aid of their less fortunate brothers and sisters helped. So did the large contributions of individuals and corporations. Alltogether they have exceeded the very minimum requirement the campaign committee finds necessary. The fund now stands $6,191,641.35. This is an excellent showing. But more is needed to assure that no child knocks in vain on the doors of the Children's Hospital. Numerous large corporations have shown that they have a sense of their social obligations to the community. Contributions of $50,000 have been made. Many firms have realized that it is not only a matter of looking after the welfare of sick children, but that it is essential to the nation a whole to have a strong, healthy youth. And the welfare of the nation is the concern of all, whether it be the director of a large corporation, the school teacher or the house-In the lists of contributions to the new Hospital for Sick Children there has been a strange Omission. In none of the lists have the names of any distillers of liquor appeared. Why the distillers have -not made tribution to the most worthy of causes is hard to understand. Have distillers less of a social conscience than others? Does not a child In pain have any appeal to the distillers? Do they feel that they are out of the stream of other corporations which have contributed so well to a new hospital for children? The distillers have been making money. There is no reason why they should not top any contributions already made. It would be a fine bit of good citizenship if they competed with each other to see which individual and which firm gave most to this cause that is so dear to all who would help a crippled child. The fund is still in need of help to make certain that every sick child is cared for.--Globe and Mail. Some medical authorities believe now that many cases of asthma and bronchial trouble can be traced to certain moulds that form on walls and ceilings, especially in damp rooms. The trouble, in such cases, has been found to clear up after the room i3 I minted.__________ ! r We ; July 17th, 1945 glad to report Mr. Fred United Church, Colborne Rev. Geo. D.

(Experimental Farm News) The disease that blackens the leaves of potato plants in the fall and later attacks the tubers, causing so much loss, is known as Late Blight. It has become so prevalent in Northern Ontario during recent years that it is now practically impossible to grow potatoes" without protection against this disease. The disease first attacks the leaves of the plants. It can be recognized by the blotches on the underside of the leaves. The blotches have a water soaked appearance. As the season advances, the disease spreads by means of spores". A great many of the spores drop to the ground and are washed down to the potatoes infecting them. Protection consists of covering the plant and keeping it covered at all times with Bordeaux mixture sprayed pr copper lime dusted on. Either method is effective if thoroughly done. Spraying or dusting should begin when the plants are about six inches high and should be repeated often erough to keep the plants covered. Three to seven sprayings or dustings may be needed, depending upon the season. In dry weather the disease does not spread but cloudy, damp seasons are most favourable to its development. At the Dominion Experimental Station at Kapuskasing, states J. P. S. Ballantyne, the Superintendent, during the past two seasons in particular, potatoes that were dusted regularly and thoroughly were not affected by Blight, while in the neighbourhood the disease was rampant and the loss severe. The slogan "Protect the Surface and You Protect All" applies with great force to the potato crop. NURSES URGENTLY NEEDED FOR RED CROSS OUTFOST HOSPITALS There is once again a great need for nursing personnel in Canadian Red Cross Outpost Hospitals, according to Miss F. I. McEwan, superintendent of the Field Nursing staff. The Ontario Division of Red Cross maintains twenty-eight hospitals scattered throughout the northern section of the province. Any graduate of an accredited training school is qualified to apply, and may do so by getting in touch with Miss McEwan at 621 Jarvis Street, Toronto. This is an excellent opportunity for any gradu-irse who would like further experience in the nursing field in the north west part of the province. Continued support of the Blood Donor Service and urgent necessity for donors to continue their faithful attendance at clinics is urgent in view of the fact that Ottawa has announced that there are to be about 35,000 Canadian troops in the Pacific. Blood serum must be made available to the wounded in that theatre of war. Canadian Red Cross blood donor clinics will re-open next month. Mr. Russell T. Kelley, Chairman of Canadian Red Cross Blood Ronor Service in Ontario, emphasizing the need for continued support of the public, pointed out: "While the war with Germany is over, the war with Japj is far from finished. There are two big reasons (including that stated above) why the service must continue. The British Government has asked the Canadian Government ,and they in turn have requested the Canadian Red Cross for 150,000 bottles of blood serum annually until the war is won. To produce that quantity will require 500,000 donations annually in Canada and Ontario has agreed to produce half of that total, on a basis of 5,500 donations weekly. The National Blood Donor Committee and the Canadian Hospital Association have already held two meetings giving consideration to the question of the blood donor service after the war. WE LIKE TO GET THE NEWS The main aim of the weekly newspaper is to give news of its own district. It may have other aims, such as to give the merchants a chance to tell of their goods in its columns or to try to influence public oponion through its editorial columns; or to ,amuse or instruct; but first of all, it must give news. Some of this news is not easily obtained and no editor can cover it without assistance. Therefore, we ask our readers' assitance. Especially is it true when you have visitors. Many of the ladies think that personals are the whole paper. Your Visitors naturally are glad to have their names printed. So send them in. Sometimes people come in and give the impression that they are asking a favour when they want us to insert the names of their friends who have been spending a few days with them. No person need fell that way who has an item of real news MIDSUMMER PROMOTIONS S.

While wrapping paper is necessary for many articles, there are others, .such as those already packaged, which do not require it and where its use becomes waste. Wherever it is possible to eliminate wrapping, the Board asks that it should be done so that limited supplies of paper may be conserved for essential uses. JOHNNY GETS HIS HOME BACK When Johnny comes home from Europe, as he may any day now, he will be able to move into his home--■ rented while he was away--with a minium of delay. So states an announcement by the Rental Administrator of Wartime Prices and Trade Board, cutting through the ordinary civilian delays necessary before tenants are required to move out. The WPTB order will permit the veteran to recover his home by giving the tenant a minimum three months' notice to vacate. Where members of the armed forces, before their enlistment, were living in houses, duplexes or fiats owned by their parents and these accommodations were later rented to others, the parents may now give the present tenants notice to vacate in three months in order to return the lodgings to their son or daughter returning from overseas. Officials of the Board point out that the regulations contained in this order apply only to former members of the armed forces. In all other cases, previously-existing rental regulations are still in force. Pale coloured paints have been found to be most repellent to the ommon house-fly, with darker colours more attractive.

The life of this little child may depend on the PROMPT ACTION of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Centralized here under one roof is every facility known to medical science for the effective prevention and cure of childhood disease and deformity. More than 9.000 little children were treated here last year. ONE-THIRD of these children came from Ontario Municipalities outside the City of Toronto. Most of them were children of parents unable to pay the low Public Ward rates. But they were not denied any treatment or care that would assist in their recovery. last year. This humane policy resulted in a deficit of $90,000 We appeal to responsible, charitable Ontario citizens for donations to help us meet this deficit and for practical encouragement to continue and expand this work next year.
