THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6th, 1945 MORE VICTORIES TO BE WON Toronto, Aug. 26.--There are n victories to be won in peace than there were in war, Commissioner Benjamin Orames, Territorial Commander for Canada of The Salvation Army, said today. He warned that the cessation of general warfare had not brought Utopia. The problem of bringing hostilities to an end and creating order out of chaos of war were more complex than the problems of fighting the war, he said. The change-over of the domestic economy of Canada from war to peace, will be far more difficult than was the change-over from peace to war production. "The demands upon The Salvation Army for counsel and assistance in the rehabilitation of veterans, are increasing in ratio to their return," said the Commissioner. "Salvation Army War Services supervisors served with the troops overseas and the men are turning to The Salvation Army here at home for help in problems beyond the scope of Governmental rehabilitation arrangements. "The transition from army to civilian life is a crucial period for these men. Numbers have returned and will return uncertain about the future, undecided as to what to do, where to go. For guidance and help many are coming to our rehabilitation officers. "There are ahead of us increasing problems on the civilian home front with war industries shutting down and disturbance in the lives of so many, brought about by new condi-• tions of employment or by unemployment. "Back of these new demands upon USE OF SULFA DRUGS MAY BE DANGEROUS Live stock owners who have heard of some of the benefits from the use of sulfa drugs in treating livestock ailments nave been reminded by the veterinary authorities that there is also a dangerous side to the use of these drugs. Through their improper use, the following are some of the results--degeneration of liver cells, damage to kidney tubes, depletion of bone marraw, necrosis of muscles, and in some instances hemorrhages. The authorities point out that these are not common occurrences but they may result when sulfa drugs are used by persons who do not know their proper application and limitations. The only safe way is when the drugs are used under the direction of a veterinary officer. The Salvation Army are the greac number of human reclamation and upbuilding services The Salvation Army has embarked upon in the past sixty years and continues to carry on. This is a campaign in which there has been no truce and in which there can be no cessation of effort. "The Salvation Army is soon to open across Canada an Appeal for $1,500,000 to carry on its nearly 50 social service and welfare activities. There was never greater need than now for this work in behalf of so many who are distressed and whom we can help. That we can and do help is proved every day. Our work is richly rewarded in salvaged lives and our hope is that we may be able to further extend the scope and the blessings of our work." "CANADIAN HOMES" SURVEY Canadian farm women are handicapped at every turn in their struggle to keep their families and homes clean. They lack properly equipped bathroom, toilet and laundry facilities and place three-piece bathrooms, bathtubs, built-in laundry tubs and washing machines high on the list of things they would most like to have. These findings result from a poll of Canadian medium and low-cost homes, revealing a sad shortage of sanitary facilities in Canadian rural homes. Lever Brothers Limited, who conducted the survey, said findings are being given to government and other housing authorities as developed. Key to household cleaning problem, the survey indicates, lies in providing more running water and especially hot running water. The survey was confined to farms of 200 acres or less. It is estimated that 70% of all Canadian farms are in this class. Connected with the running water shortage is the report that nearly half the village homes and three-quarters of the farm homes are without flush toilets. Reason for the accent on bathroom equipment in future plans lies in the discovery that only one farmhouse i.i four has a regular bathtub. In cities and towns, where prevalence of plumbing might be expected to show a different picture, almost one family in, five is still without a bathtub. The laundry picture is also challenging. Only 21% of urban homes, Those 20,000 Tons Where are you taking you holidays' If it is a spot where a salvage com mittee is in operation, save your waste paper for them just as you do at home. Canada still needs 20.000 tons of waste paper a month. 6% in villages and 2% on farms are equipped with stationary or built-laundry tubs. Number of tubs any kind with drains is just a point or two higher. That means the jority of Canadian women in all sections of the country do the weekly wash in tubs much like their grandmothers had. Washing machines are in better supply. Almost seven-tenths of city and town families have them and a slightly greater number in villages. Farms lead with 76%, though naturally the scarcity of electric power suits in a much higher proportion of hand operated machines. Gasoline drives the washing machines in 11% of farm homes. That few farm people who without washing machines have separate wringers seems indicated by the figures showing one home in every five without one. Even at that rata wringers are more plentiful on farms than in villages or cities where they are absent from one home in every four. Nearly all women have irons, and the number of electric irons is roughly in ratio to the availability of power. But husbands have fallen down in supplying ironing boards; Seventeen per cent of city-town women, 11% in villages and 26% on farms have to do their ironing on the kitchen table-top. \ With other groups, you play a part so that everyone gets a fair share No PosW9 -of.
