THURSDAY, JULY 9th; 1931 THE HAI LEYBURIAN Haileybury in 1924 'Items from the Files of The Haileyburian of Seven Years Ago The North Bay Golf Club en- tertained several members of the Haileybury Club at a tournament last week-end in their city. The Laurentide Air Service is making Haileybury a base for their operations between the Rouyn gold fields and outside points. A public meeting to discuss the proposed soldiers' memorial has been called for July 24th in the basement of the United Church. Several memorial stones for the graves of soldiers who died here while on active service during the war years have been shipped to Haileybury, and an effort is be- ing made to locate all the graves. The Dominion Government has approved the proposed extension of the T.&N.O. Railway into the Rouyn district and, should cir- cumstances warrant, it is the in- tention of the Ontario govern- ment to proceed with the road. The wearing of a gold ring probably saved J. W. Hughes from serious injuries when his hand came in contact with a high power wire. As it was, he suff- ered severe burhs. Haileybury High School con- tributed $50 to the fund for Jap- anese children suffering from the great earthquake, the largest in- dividual subscription of any high school in the province. Good progress is being made on the new Oddfellows' building on Broadway Street. The foundation walls are completed and the gird- ers for the main floor are being laid. THE RHYMING OPTIMIST By Aline Michaelis FAITH'S FLOWER Of faith I sing, of faith that leads Us always on to better deeds; Of faith that like a beacon glows And makes life lovely as a rose; Of faith that to our souls is given So we may gain an earthly heav- en. Through all Earth's dark and doubtful ways By rock strewn roads or forest maze, Like to a mother's guiding hand Faith leads; why seek to under- stand The reason of the things that are In darkest night faith finds a star Faith brings a joy no man can gain : In reason's cold, severe domain; And wise are we who tend life's flower That, in some hour, Grows up into a towering tree With sheltering boughs for you, for me. storm-rent, cruel Whip-poor-will Whip-poor-will! Whip-poor-will! Over meadow, Over hill, Calling, calling, Twilight falling, Whip-poor-will! Day is done, Now the sun Sinks while stars climb One by one; This bird only Has his lonely Song begun.

GRANT FLEMING, M.D. TETANUS ' Lockjaw is the name commonly, given to the disease tetanus. It describes one of the symptoms of the disease, the firmly-fixed' mouth which results from the. contraction of the musles of the jaw. | Tetanus is one of the commun- icable diseases, and is caused by a germ which usually gains en- trance to the body through a wound which tears or punctures the tissues. In many ways, the germ tetan- us is unlike most disease germs. It lives in the intestines of cows, horses and sheep, and is present in the bowel discharges of these animals. Consequently, any wound received on the farm, or any wound contaminated by dirt, particularly if the dirt is at all ikely to contain manure, is very apt to contain tetanus germs. We have stated in other artic- les that most disease germs die fairly quickly outside of the hum- an or animal body. The tetanus germ is one of the few excep- tions to the general rule for the reason that it is able to form spores. The spore is a resistant state into which the germ goes when conditions for its existence are unfavorable. In the spore state, it can lie dormant for long periods of time. The spore be- comes an active germ again when conditions are again favorable, such as when it is introduced into the body by way of a wound. For these reasons, earth which has once been contaminated with manure containing tetanus germs will, for years, be dangerous, and will have the power to cause tet- anus if it gets into wounds. Another peculiarity of the tet- anus germ is that it grows best where there is no air Wounds which are favorable to teanus are those made by a nail or other piercing instrument whereby dirt is carried down to the. bottom of the wound_to_a_ point which the air does not reach We can say that in the case of any wound where dirt is forced under the skin, there is danger of tetanus. fiealth: Service _ OF THE Ganadian Medical Association Edited*by =~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY Every wound, no matter how g slight, should be thoroughly cleansed with soap and water, and then covered so as to keep it clean. Every wound where dirt has been driven under the skin should be treated by a doctor. Tetanus can be prevented. Wounds should be properly cared for, and, in addition, if they are the type of wound in which tet- anus is at all likely to occur, tet- anus antitoxin should be given. The tetanus antitoxin which your doctor injects has the power to neutralize the toxin or poison which the tetanus germ gives off and which produces the sympt- toms of the disease and causes death It is a preventative meas- ure and, as such, is most success- ful. During the Great War, it was given to every wounded man with the result that tetanus was practically eliminated. Tetanus antitoxin is also used for treat- ment, but once the disease has de- veloped, the outlook is bad. Reasonable care of wounds and the use of tetanus antitoxin will prevent tetanus.

LeBOURDAIS Director, Division of Education, Canadian National Committe for Mental Hygiene HEAT CAUSES SUFFERING IN CROWDED HOSPITALS Patients Packed in Mental Hos- pitals Twenty to Thirty Per Cent over Normal Capacity In this hot weather one's thoughts turn to those poor un- fortunates who are unable to get out into the fresh air or near the water, the thousands in hoggit especially those in mental, als. sy A The mental hospitals of Cafiada | contain over 30,000 persons. In each, on an average, are over 1,000 men and women. In some The Limit NNE morning last January I stepped into the corridor of an office building to wait for a streetcar. You must wait for a street car occasionally in most cities. It was a rather cold and snappy morning, this. The ther- mometer on the wall outside the door said twenty below, and not- withstanding the rumor that © "you don't feel the cold" in West- ern Canada, people who waited for a car flocked to this free ~ waiting room like sparrows to the eve closest to the furnace chimney. Two modern flappers whose high-heeled shoes, silk stockings and today's custom are responsible for a fair share of the street railway company's income, stood close to the rad- iator. "Say, kid," said the tall one, "did y' hear about Tommy Jones?" "No," said the short one, "wha' is it?" "He's buzzing roun' with that Smith skirt," came the information promptly. Then came the rumble of an approaching car. Both girls pulled their sealskin coats close round their slim bodies, both bolted for the joor, and both said in the same breath, 'Well, uf that ain't the limit," and "'wha'd y' know about that." This English of ours is truly a wonderful language, more wonderful in the ordinary everyday gossip of the masses than it is in the books of the "best" authors. "The sky's the limit," expressed quite accuratel y. _the stimulated egotism of a celebrated editorial writer during some sort of game some people play with cards. Somebody, some day, will coin a new phrase to express the limitless limit, so to speak, something along the lines of the bacchant ballad: "Let's do some wild oat sowin' Before we hit the hay; We don't know But we know where we're goin' we're on the way." Incidentally, the sowing of oats suggests a fairly good example of this idea of a limitless limit. The re, lations covering the competitive exhibits for the World's Grain Exhibition and Conference at Regina in 1932 contain a clause of this nature . According to this clause, if there are farmers on Mars and they have the idea that they grow the best zrain in the universe they are eligible to enter. It's wide open. Most things, however, have a definite limit, though it may not be apparent to a mind beclouded by enthusiasm, excitement, selfishness or some other cause. During a flying trip across country the plane hit an air pocket and 3uddenly dropped three or four hundred feet. these planes drop?" asked an excited "How far can one of passenger, who, up to this time, had oeen enjoying his first flight experience. 'The world's the limit," replied an old stager who was sitting in the same seat. So it is show of 1932. with the big provinces the overcrowding is worse than in others, but every- " fie hospitals must house fram twenty to thirty per cent. more patients than they were wilt to accomodate. In one hos- pital in a Canadian province six- teén patients are obliged to sleep in one small room having only one window--and there are seven! such rooms. Even with the best ventilation, conditions are far pleasant when forty, fifty, ri more, patients are packed into ingle dormitory. f Vith government treasuries tied in meeting the demands the present depression, it is pethaps too much to expect that m ey will now be spent in build- ing new mental hospitals, althoug in" supplying work as a form of emergency relief no money could tbe@more wisely spent. Further- more, patients are daily pouring into the mental hospitals; the de- pression will be with us for some time to come; and, in spite of the general financial stringency, some provision must be made to take care of each year's additions, even if no relief is found for the wgeigl overcrowding : & condition be- goes back This will serve tor sportwear in town yor country, for motoring and general travelling.
