But then, I'm only six months old. My little feet were being straightened so that I'd be able to romp and play when I'm older. "I'm all better now -- going home to-morrow. I feel just fine, too, except when I think of the debts I'll be leaving behind. You see, Daddy isn't able to pay for the wonderful care and treatment I received. "The Government and the city I live in, together, paid $2.35 each day I was here. Unfortunately, that isn't enough because it costs the Hospital an average of $3.45 every day to treat me and each other little patient. "More than eight thousand little children were cared for here last year, just like me. We're the ones who cause the large deficit of The Hospital for Sick Children every year-- but everyone admits that we're worth it. "It isn't our fault that we get sick or become crippled, but the least we can do is appeal to you for help--particularly when we know that this Hospital does not share in the Toronto Federation for Community Service funds because Public Ward patients are admitted from any part of the Province. "Won't you send a donation to the Hospital to help meet this deficit? Even a small gift would be greatly appreciated. "PLEASE . . . send it TODAY!" When Table Fork Was Regarded as Curiosity The advent of the knife and fork Ar table use is dated far later than that of the spoon. In fact only 300 years ago knives and forks were airland Henri II. and even at the magnificent court of Louis XVI forks for eating purposes were unknown. let primitive Implements that are frequently classed as knives and forks have heen in use since an early day. Most authorities are of the opinion that the primitive savage used a natural fork tn the shape of a small pronged twig, while others believe that the folk originated with the arrow as a sort of toothpick. The first forks appear to have long, two-pronged affairs used only in cooking, especially for holding the Joint of meat while it was being carved. The first hint of the fork being used for table service was in the Eleventh century when the wife of the doge, Do-menlco Silvio, was referred to as too dainty to touch her food with her fingers. Therefore she. used a small golden for*; and was described as being "luxurious beyond belief."

HIS COLLEGE YEAR UNIQUE COLLECTION FAMILY HERALD HAS OF SONGS Since 1895 the Family Herald has been publishing on their Old Favorite Page the long loved melodies that are passed from one generation to another. Over these 53 years the Family Herald has gathered together thousands of old time songs--songs that will never-lose their charm and appeal. This ever growing library of song is always available to those interested. In 1947 the Family Herald published for the enjoyment of its myrid of readers over 200 Old Favorites songs, including more than 45 with music. Along with the entertainment provided in the Old Favorites are the serial and short fiction stories in the Family. Herald. In choosing these stories the editors are guided by readers' opinions. For instance, one subscriber wrote that the stories are "full of interest throughout." A Mani-toban commenting on a recent serial, "Now Lost is the Lily," said "Its historical setting appealed so much to me that I waited with impatience for the next issue to arrive." Another reader considered it "Historical Romance at its best." The Family Herald's policy of giving a variety of reading for every family means equally enthralling stories in future which will, as always, carry the readers' interest from week to week.- United Church, Colborne Rev.
