It is a crime in the first place because it robs people of limitéd means of a proper manner of living. It is a crime in the second place because it promotes selfishness and leads to class distinctions that are not founded on merit. Limitation of production reduces marketing op- portunities, increases unemployment, tends to lower | the tone of citizenship, encourages stock gambling, and reduces the actual wealth.of the country; because _consumption without production leads to bankruptcy. Our country is suffering because so many people are looking for an easy way to make a rich living. We -~need more industry, and contentment with reason- able returns for our labour.

This was the query that was raised recently by Dr. Edna Guest, Chief Surgeon of the Women's College Hospital, when addressing the women of the Salvation Army Con- gress, meeting in the Margaret Eaton Hall. When I protest a- gainst girls and women of the poorer homes wearing high-heeled shoes, they reply that-they can't afford to buy anything but a high-heeled shoe", said Dr. Guest. "What can we do about this matter of shoes? Can't we band together and do something? Surely a sensible heel can be made as cheaply as a high heel," and she stressed the bol iatico of proper, sensible shoes in. their bearing on the health of women. * * 0 i" Dr. Laura Lane of the University of Michigan reported that an analysis of about 100,000 cases of cancer showed a remarkedly higher ocfurrence among individuals subject to continuous bright sunlight, particularly in the tropics, and in patients following re- covery from influenza.

SCHOOL DAYS BY ANNABELLE BAIRD The Hallowe'en Dance given by the Literary Society of the Port Perry High School last Friday in the hall of the school was well attended, and a big success, As well as the majority of the student body, there was a large number of ex-pupils present. They rallied from -the various places to which they have scattered to enjoy an evening with old friends and their class-mates. The 'hall was attractively decorated by Ruth Carnegie and Mary Stone in Hallowe'en colours. The ceiling was draped with black and orange streamers, and spiteful black eats hung on the walls. Four pumpkins grinned on the assembly, and one wel- comed the gentlemen. (Only the gentlemen.) Coa Reta Willard, Mary Smallman, John Orde and Dorothy Porteous provided snappy piano music. Jean Hopkins and Jack Beare won the spot-light dance, Jean received a box of powder and Jack a tie.
