But, with the control of bacterial diseases by antibiotics, there has been an increase of virus diseases, hardly any of which are really controllable by drugs at present available. There seems to have been a real increase, not merely a throwing into relief by suppresion of the other. When I was a medical student the The Rector, Rev. R. E.

HALL A former Colborne resident, Mrs. Austin D. Hall, passed away in University Hospital, Edmonton, Thursday, February 7th, 1957, in her 63rd year. She had been in failing health for many years, the last two years she had spent in hospital. She was born in Toronto, Gertrude Belle Hughes, only daughter of the AT HOME__UNITED CHURCH Mr. and Mrs. George McCraeken, HIGH C ORGANIZATION Rev. Lemon introduced the guest speaker, Dr. John lies, in doing so he stated that in observance of Health Week Dr. lies had kindly consented amid his busy routine to address the congregation. Following is the address, which was delivered in a most interesting and impressive manner: The initials W.H.O. stand for the World Health Organization, which founded in 1948 and has its headquarters in Geneva. The Health League of Canada is older, it is a citizen's movement, founded in 1919, for the prevention of disease and the promotion of good health by public enlightenment and acts as an instrument for spreading the influence of W.H.O. in Canada. The Health League sponsors a National Healh Week in February and a National Im'tion Week in the Fall. We have just had our National Health Week last week and it is for this son that Mr. Lemon has kindly asked me to address this congregation. A short address con only touch one or two aspects of the vast subject of health.. First Point--There is never room for complanency about health. Vast strides have been made in preventive medicine in which the H.L. of C. is especially interested. Examples : 1924, 9,000 cases of diphtheria in Canada, with 1,200 deaths; 1954, 200 cases and 18 deaths.Hygiene has virtually abolished the enteric diseases, such as typhoid or cholera. Malaria used to account for 1,000,000 lives a year in easily that it was known as "the old man's friend". Now the old man gets shots of Penicillin and lives on. This contributes of course to increased longevity and in turn causes a vise in the volumes of deaths from heart disease, cancer, etc, etc. People live on to get these things, who in the old days would have died before of something else. An aging population is a bigger and bigger burden for the younger generation to support. This trend is found all over the world. Age-old scourges like Mararia and Dysentry, Typhoid, Cholera and Plague are all controllable and to some extent controlled. Millions of lives are saved that would have been lost. The world population has risen more rapidly in the last fifty years, despite the two global wars. How ar all these survivors and their progeny to be fed? Good nutrition is at the very root of good health, and thus the solving of one problem creates another. In remembering triumphs also record failures. The great group of Rheumatic Diseases which includes Artheritis, gives us no ground for complacency. We are almost as helpless in the face of cancer as we were twenty years ago; cancer of the lung now causes many more deaths than T.B. every year. This is certainly related in some way to excess smoking, and the problem is thus bound up with social customs--which makes it more complicated to tackle. This complication in social customs is also seen in alcholism and in venerial disease. (Continued next week) it was then called. She came to reside in Colborne ir 1921.

A WORD TO PARENTS ON GUIDING The Girl Guide and Boy Scout Movements are the inspiration of Lord Baden-Powell. His vision created a way of life intended to develop the finest characteristics in young people, irrespective of colour, creed or race. To them he brought a very special way of enjoying life, encouraging a spirit of adventure, a love of nature, and a deep appreciation of the wonders of God. The amazing growth of the Girl Guide and Boy Scout Associations during the last half century is proof of their tremendous vitality and the exceptional appeal to young people. For these outstanding times an outstanding generation is needed. For these we need outstanding qualities. To believe when all others doubt, To be good tempered when all seems annoying and difficult, To smile and be happy when all others grumble, To see beauty in spite of the ugly and plain, To be content with what we have, instead of lamenting what is lost. Here is a challenge to adult and child alike. Thousands of young girls waiting to join the Canadian Girl Guide Movement but are unable to do so because there are insufficient Guides and Adult Leaders. FIREMEN'S BALL LARGELY ATTENDED The Colborne Town Hall was attractively decorated in a truly Valentine scheme of red and white streamers and hearts for the Fourth Annual Firemen's Ball, held Friday night, February 8th.
