By this he means that a somewhat larger amount will be withheld from a worker's pay check each week and that the employer will be asked to watch the amount says The New Yorker. Mark Sullivan, in the .Tri- bune, points out that with the value of money dropping the way it is, an increase in social security is.only ar spparent increase, not a real in- crease. Mr, Sullivan argues that fifty cents that was withheld from your pay check in, say 1937, would have bought you a square meal at that time, but that when you are sixty-five years old and get the fifty cents back, it may buy you only a small box of dried raisins. He says the way to increase social security is to see that the dollar doesn't shrink. The argument is sound enough. Perhaps the way to manage social security is to forget sbout dollars and withhold meat in- siead. very employer could be required to maintain a deep freeze unit and withhold one square meal «ach week for each employee. Then when an employee reaches sixty- five and starts digging around like » squirre}-on a winter morning, he will dig up some frozen meat instead of a shrivelled dollar. . . . If security itself were ever io be- «ome the highest national goal, the citizen would shed his self-reliance ss a buck sheds his horns, and the citizens of the republic would be + like privates in the army--each with » dog tag, and a dull sense of having abandoned something irreplaceable, Although the above refers to- "United States conditions, thoughtful » 123 Eighteenth St, Ontario.

From her hospital bed-- which didn't look like a hospital bed at all; but a couch amnong a bower of flowers--anyway, from it she held court. There were many visit- ors and peals of laughter drifted in- to my little back room. She was de- finitely the glamour girl of the hospital, even to the nurses. Per: | haps I envied her a little... [ don't know. N If 1 did it wasn't for long. The next day a baby was born to each of ws. Daughter was just about perfect--just as any normal baby is to its mother. But Lady Blue Satin . .. her baby was born dead. That is a terrible thing to happen in any language but this girl was apparently a spoilt darling and re- acted accorlingly. Before the baby was born there had been kidney complications. She had been put on a strict" diet and yet had per- suaded her friends to bring her in some of the very things she wasn't supposed to eat. Nature plays no favourites but has a way of eatch- ing up with spoilt darlings. But for all that I felt awfully sorry for Lady Blue) Satin. When 1 was going out of the hospital she called me in and asked to see the baby. She looked at her and said nothing. My lady was still wearing blue sa- tin, her room still bedecked with flowers--but the glamour was gone. I never did know who she was. The hospitil, as | said before, was just about tops for efficiency and comfort, and yet, a month after I left it was closed by order of the Health authorties. Several mothers had di from blood poisoning, others - seriously ill -- and all through ¥nfection getting into the hospital from an unsuspected source. i Why do I think of all this just now' Because this is the eve of Daughter's birthday. It is only natural to look back and think how much we have to be thankful for. And | wonder what happened to . Lady Blue Satin! And 1 wonder, is there a "pyll" towards the district where one was born? Both our babies were born out West; when we came East it was largely on their account---to give them, as we thought, a better chance in life.

And for many} the long year the problem of school lunches has botliered countless mothers, So today I thought you might welcome a few suggestions along this line--most of which have the endorsement of the Saskatchewan Department of Public Health; which made a special study of the subject. So here goes. The Lunch Pail What kind? Metal is best because ft must be. washed--and scalded regularly. There should.be air holes for ventilation and, of course, a handle for easy curryivg.
