Mayer McCallum in his address of welcome gave us the freedom of the city and mentioned his pet projects, Lambert' Lodge and Regent Park. In her chairman's address Mrs.' N.

For common sense prac- tical reasons, such as the general eco- nomic good of the country, as well as for cultural considerations there must be' a complete partnership and. under standing between the English and French. races if Canada is to become the great nation she hopes to be. The Tower of Bebel, she said, was never finished because its builders could not understand each others language. I wonder if this lesson from the Bible should not be posted on the walls of every Canadian school room, Canadian history taught in the schools is one of the reasons for ex- isting prejudices' between the two races. It depends largely upon where you got your history which you con- sider 'the superior Tages, | she J main- Attitudes towards each other's re- ligions also - are, 'perhaps, uncon- sciously, defeating Canada's growth as a united nation she said. On your side of the fence religion is actually a stronger. divider 'than race--although race-looms larger in French Canada. Religious freedom implies, not only freedom from persecution, but toler- ance of the others. point of view. This applies whether the others are Je- hovah Witnesses in Quebec or the small French Catholic minority in On- tario. Too many people are more con- ecrned with the method of finding God than with really finding God, she said. Mr. "John Fisher was the next speaker. His subject: "Saving. Can- adian Children for Canada." Speaking of "the death rate in children 'from birth until one year of age, the speak- er said "It is a disgrace to Canada to say that with all its great dpen spaces, it is away below England with its tenement life and the United States' with all ifs crowding slums, Canada rates tenth on the mortality list." In the last war 40,000 of the flower of our-Canadian-manhood-died-in -the name of of freedom but twice that num- ber of children under 1 'year of age, died in the name of ignorance, he said. There are 40 children lost every 24 hours." Upon women, whose priv- ilege it is to create new life, does the responsibility rest for preserving life through the spread of the gospel of health! - Dr." Margaret McCready, Macdonald Institute, Guelph, spoke next. She referred to Britain's National Institute of house" workers and sug- gested something similar here, _ Canadians do not advertise them- selves enough said Mrs. Lelia-Tomlin- son; of Jamaica. She said she had been' advised to bring all the warmest things she had as there were acres and acres of snow.

Rs OS INSULATE OR NOT? Research work conducted' at the station indicates that it might be pro- } fitable to insulate brooder houses for young chickens. ¥ It was. found that birds in non- an | sulated houses feather more rapidly and .seém to gain more weight but that extra weight was more than off- set by the extra cost of heating--a problem almost eliminated when in- sulated brooders were: used. There were no consistent differences in mor- tality with' either type.of house, the Rhode Island College experimental tests showed. HOSTER EE = an 02K Tou the finest assurance of a las job.
