Pace Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13th, 1945 JUST IMAGINE! A PARADE OF 79,410 CHILDREN PASSING THROUGH ONE DOORWAY Just try to visualize over seventy-five battalions of soldiers passing in ■ingle file ... or think of the population of a city bigger than Brantford, Peterborough and Kingston all combined. Now you have a basis for comparison because that's the number of :-> dividual visits made by children to i Out-Patient Department of the --ospital for Sick Children last year. This huge total represents the need of babes and youngsters for medical treatment . . . help which could not be afforded if parents were asked to pay more than a small part of the cost. In fact, many parents cannot afford any payment at all. These little ones need your help. The revenue from Government and Municipal grants, plus whatever parents may contribute, covers part of the expense, but the balance must come from charitable citizens. Please mail a donation today . . . no matter how small. The need is greater than ever before. The HOSPITAL for SICK CHILDREN 67 COLLEGE STREET, TORONTO "WHERE NO CHILD KNOCKS IN VAIN" DOUBLE BREASTED SUITS NOT IN STORES YET All manufacturing restrictions on the production of double-breasted suits, pleats, formal wear and bi-swing backs have been lifted, Wartime Prices and Trade Board announced recently. The lifting of restrictions, however, does not imply that double-breasted suits or other types that have not been manufactured for some time will be back on the market immediately, Board officials declared. The reappearance of such niodels will depend on how quickly manufacturers can reconvert to such production. It is expected that output of it suits will be 5% higher this year than in 1944 but in the face of an creased civilian demand there is also a heavy turnover of suits to discharged servicemen. More than one-third of the suits manufactured are reserved for sale to demobilized servicemen. Together with the removal of restrictions, the Prices Board announced a pricing order limiting the wholesale and retail markups on men's and boys' suits, overcoats, topcoats, raincoats and sports jackets. Some adjustments are being made also in the manufacturer's selling price. No change in the retail prices of men's and boys' clothing is expected from this action. Scotch Sheep Come to Canada Montreal, November 21--For the purpose of improving the quality of livestock in Western Canada, five highbred Scotch sheep, four ewes and a ram, were carried to Saskatoon from the steamship which brought them to Canada in charge of the Canadian National Express. They were crated. FOOLISH ADVICE "Sorry, sir," telephoned the butchet\ "but we are out of sirloin. Why don't your wife order you a round?" "What's that?" exploded Harker. at the other end of the line. "Why don't your wife order you a round?" "Why don't my wife order me around? Mans that Is all' she does from morning until nigiht! If you were nearer I'd--" But the startled butcher had hung up the receiver. A chest X-ray for everyone is the motto of the health workers who seek to stamp out tuberculosis. Your purchase of Christmas Seals will bring nearer the day when this dream may be realized. Canada's death rate from tuberculosis in 1944 was the lowest on record. Despite this, nearly six thousand Canadians died of this disease. This is too heavy a toll to pay to a disease which can be conquered. Your support of the Christmas Seal Campaign will help bring tuberculosis under control. Even If-- The loving husband was about to start on a long journey. His young wife, a very modern type, stood disconsolately on the platform. The whistle blew. He gave her a last kiss. "I'll write to you," he said, "from every place we stop at on the way." "Yes, do," she said, "do, darling, even if it's only a check." Good News for the Patient. 'Sam, shut off that phonograph * will you?" said the barber who provides music with shaves. "Don't you like that jazz record?" asked his assistant. "Sure, but I'm fixing to go around the gentleman's chin. I can't keep time with short strokes."--Louisville Courtier-Journal.

Mark NO REDUCED RAILWAY FARES FOR HOLIDAYS Montreal, Nov. 28, 1945.--Notwithstanding that hostilities have terminated, demands upon the railways in the efficient handling of troops returning from overseas make it again necessary to suspend the use of all free and half-fare transportation dur-the forthcoming Christmas and New Year holiday period, it is jointly announced today by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the .Canadian National Railways. The suspension will be effective from Thursday, December 20, 1945, until Thursday, January 3, 1946. The announcement states : "It had been hoped that with the war over, it would not have been necessary to place this restriction during the coming holiday season, but the situation that confronts the railways in the handling of our fighting forces en route home, leaves no alternative." MEET POTATO SHORTAGE Montreal, Dec. 4th.--Shortages of potatoes in Ontario and Quebec are being met by supplies from farmers in the Maritime Provinces, an official of the Canadian National Railways' car service department says. Since October 1st, more than 3,000 carloads have been handled by the CNR from Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick to Central Canada points to offset poor crops harvested this year. The potatoes are shipped in heated refrigerator cars during this season of the year to avoid freezing and spoiling. Since the movement began 50 C.N.R. carloads a day have been handled. Before the potato traffic ends next April, more than 9,000 cars will have carried nearly 500,000.000 pounds. Three out of every thousand apparently healthy people in the average community are likely to be suffering from tuberculosis. The best way to find these people is through an X-ray survey. Your purchase of Christmas Seals will help provide money to finance these surveys. A stitch in time saves nine--that's the motto of the tuberculosis associations. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis saves not only lives, but the taxpayers' money. Buv Christmas Seals and help finance the early diagnosis program in your community. _ 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, DISCUSS TRANSATLANTIC EXPRESS "When Trans-Canada Air Lines begins its trans-Atlantic commercial operations, a world air express service is possible with connecting air lines," said G. E. Bellerose, general manager, Canadian National Express and Trans-Canada Air Lines Express, who has just returned from Great Britain, where he went to set up the necessary organization for handling overseas air express shipments. "Through rates," he said, "will be established similar to those set up by the railways on the North American continent. The prospects for traffic in the trans-Atlantic air service are good and as the effects of war disappear, they will increase considerably." Three-quarters of a million Canadians were X-rayed for tuberculosis last year. A good percentage of these surveys were financed by Christmas Seals. Your support of the Christmas Seal Campaign will help extend these surveys. Canadians are dying of tuberculosis at the rate of sixteen persons a day. This is sheer criminal waste, fo-tuberculosis is a disease which can be conquered. Do your part to bring it under control by buying Christmas Seals. United Church, Colborne Rev. Geo. D.
