(A Publication of The Ontario Committee for Safe Milk) (Continued from Last Week) The public attitude toward:s| the control of communicable] disease has always been d.ffieult| of analysis; for example although it is well established that the chlorination of water destroys the harmful organisms all toe often contained therein, ther: are still many municipalities which have adopted an ostrich- like attitude and have delayed the installation of this protec- tive micasure until compelled to do so. The same extraordinary point of view is prevalent even to a greater extent, regarding measures for the protection of milk. Ne¢ well-informed person seriously doubts the value of milk as a food product or the desirability of its consumption They realize equally the diffieul- ty associated with the collectio> and transmission of a quantity large enough to take care of the increasing demand. So great is this difficulty during the sum- mer months, that unless the milk is subjected to early pasteuriza- tion, it rapidly becomes unusable This loss is borne, in the main. not by the consumer or the dis tributor, but by the producer. Despite these facts, however. there still exists an extraordin- ary. hesitancy on the part of cities, towns and villages to protect the public resident with- in their borders. The requisites for a satisfac: tory milk supply are clean mili: from healthy cows, with. the added safeguard of pasteuriza- tion. This procedure is mame after the famous French research worker, Pasteur, who established the theory of the spread of disease by micro-organisms. Pas- teurization involves the heating of all the milk to a temperature of 142-145 degrees Fahrenheit, holding it at this temperature for thirty minutes and then rapidly chilling it. The addition- al precaution of bottling milk in sterile or germ-free containers and careful sealing is essential to safeguard it from contamina- tion between the time of pas- teurization and its consumption in the home. 'When the simple conditions necessary in carrying out the pasteurization process are obser- ved all the dangerous germs which may be present in the milk are destroyed and no epi- demic of disease can result from drinking it. When these con- ditions are not observed the process should not be called pasteurization, dangerous organ- isms present may not be destroy- ed or epidemics such as occurred in Chatham in 1927 or in Mon- treal in 1928 prevented. Vigi- lence on the part of the health authorities in seeing that the process of pasteurization was being carried out would have prevented those epidemics. From the standpoint of its nutritional value pasteurization postpones souring; it does mot change the fat (cream), protein, sugar or mineral salts; it des- troys all harmful organisms, a fact so well proved that it is not subject to discussion; it affects adversely vitamin C which is partly destroyed by heat while vitamins A and B are not mat- erially affected. In view of the considered to be an adequate source of vitamin C, its locs is of relatively little importance but its absence should be appre- ciated and orange or tomato juice included in sufficient amounts in the diet of all chil- dren. It is also to be remember- is present only in limited quantities in milk, either raw or pasteurized, and that cod liver oil or one of its equivalents should be regular- The arguments which have been adopted against the wide- spread use of this protective measure of pasteurization are exactly those that have been used against other such measures, and by the same people. One group states that there are no hotter says we are interfering with nature; a third insists that the old way which was good enough for our forefathers is good enough for today; a fourth is interested solely in the mome- tary return and is presumably prepared to profit by the mis- fortunes of their fellowmen; while a large group is frankly indifferent. Granted that compulsory pas-| teurization does work a hard. ship on the small pedlar, so does every other forward step ad versely affect a small group in the community. This hardship lasts only during the period of his absorption into some other activity, and surely we are not to be expected to expose the members of the community to disabling disease and worse, in order that we may avoid the possibility of inflicting financial inconvenience on a group small that they are only a frac- tion of those who suffer as the result of this attitude of mis- guided benevolence. You are at liberty to line up under the banner of any of the above mentioned forces, or to ally yourself with those who, interested solely in human better- ment are convinced that the pasteurization of all milk is es- sential to safeguard the health of the people crippling disease and death. It is of importance to remem- Ler that legislative bodies, par- ticularly those responsible for municipal affairs, stand in the same relation as individuals to- wards this important public health matter. CHAMPION CANA- DIAN CLOVER Canadian Red Clover seed is well received in the British market, where it has demonstrat- ed its superiority to clovers from other countries. A leading Scot- tish seed firm which pays par-| SO tleular attention to the securing | and distribution of the best strains of clover crops describes Canadian Red Clover, which is offered as an early strain of | Broad-leaved Red, as extremely hardy and invariably giving the best results in trials at the West of Scotland College. In the] firm's catalogue is a striking] illustration showing plots of various strains of clover grown for comparison. In this the] growth and hardiness of the Canadian type is noticeably bet-|! ter than that of the English and]: remarkably superior to the Po- lish and Chilean varieties.

Better {to go to bed and enjoy a good sleep than to be kept up all night picture hash. Sorry, experts, but that's the official appraisal of Dr. Peter Sandiford, Professor of Educational Psy- chology at the University of Toronto, who knows about men- by tal gymnastics of all kinds. You may be trying your patience with a million-piece puzzle--which would be only forty feet square--but if you arb * developing your intellect, there are better ways of doing it. Even the most intricate fretwork does not make a intelligence test. The fastest puzzle solvers, Professor Sandiford believes, are not necessarily the mental giants. Used to Test Immigrants. good Dr. Sandiford is busy devising new intelligence tests for Ontario schools. They are, however, all of the questionnaire variety.

"Then, is there any kind of mental training in jig-puzzling?"' the reporter continued. "It's a good way of killing time," was the reply. 'Psychologists might admit that it has some | slight positive value. But mental training is much better acquired directly. Latin, for example, has an indirect bearing on the English language. But one will make faster progress with Eng- lish by studying English litera- ture itself." "What peculiar mental traits make for speed with the puzz- les?' was the next question. | "Perhaps the same kind of a| mind that is good at geometry," Dr. Sandiford said. Doubts Time Limits. "These time limits the makers | announce. Do they mean any- thing?' asked the reporter. "Not 'much. It would take a careful study in the psychologi- cal laboratory to standardize the working times."' | "Are puzzles more construec- tive than bridge?" "I'm afraid not. I'd vote for bridge. Bridge | is more of an intellectual pur- suit, and, besides, it has some social value. "I really think that the people now working puzzles at 15 cents) a time are the ones who used] HARTGE | to occupy the front rows of the] musical shows at $5 the copy," | Prof. Sandiford went on. "To| me, the puzzle pastime indicates that taste for. other diversions, such as art or music, has not been cultivated. Better to have a burglar solving puzzles than out trying to pick locks. The] jig-saws are different from many other games--it's pretty hard to cheat." Don't feel so badly if you are caught working a puzzle, how-| ever. Dr. Sandiford did one | himself, he confessed. ' 'Out of} curiosity," he said. "I am too | busy to make a habit of it--or | even of bridge." : --Toronto Globe. FEATHERED HYMNSTER In St. Vincent, on the Cana- dian National Steamships route to the West Indies, there is found a parrot peculiar to the island and called the Guildige' Ss Amazon, locally known as the Soufriere Bird. H. N. Hancock, former master at Queen's Royal College, Trinidad, says of the bird: '"The song was so like the first few notes of the well-known | hymn 'Hail The Day That Sees| ete." that the siffleur (whistler of our party tried hard to teach |{ the bird the rest of the tune. _---- CHESS ut Nimes HESS ps \ er S Pe SSS Sessa EE Tre ie ry Sie = = a R and V VHITE | 8 | 0.
