NEW CANADIANS ARE AMAZED One of the many reactions to Cana- dian life expressed by immigrants ar- riving to take up farming in Canada edad. Y by far the most frequently. noted is their amazement at the mechanization of agricultureyin this country. - Al. though conditiohed to expect advanced methods of farming in the new world, they find that Canadian farms are "equipped even beyond anything they had anticipated. =, - While the use of such implements as tractors, combines and other elec- trical & mechanical equipment comes in for its share, perhaps the most fre- quent source of favourable comment BES STAR EDITORIAL PAGE rd inet | irl oe eshte ane [8 : Port Perry, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, Ontario, 5 : ep 1954 is the extent tp which Canadian farms are served with 'running water sys- tems," And this. is hardly surprising since Canada ranks among the top na. tions in the world in the use of run- ning water in rural localities. To people accustomed to hauling ; water from hand- operated pumps, or at best to crude forms of water dis- tribution, the modern Canadian farm, with water on tap in both kitchen: and bathroom, piped water supply to barns pogltry sheds and out-dooy drinking troughs, must be a miracle of modern farming indeed. Perhaps the outstanding factor In all this is that water systems on farms faith falling into a mere form, losing are.not regarded as a luxury by Cana- dian farmers, And this is because the use of water systems has proved that running water more than pays for its own cost, both in increased , production and in"saving of valuable Ah hours. --Canadian Statesman HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR Edward Gibbon, who wrote "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Em- pire" in 1782, listed five reasons for the fall of an early civilization which, !: at one time, embodied many of the Christian virtues. It might be well" for this generation to ponder on these reasons as they apply to present day onlin Here is Gibbons list: . The rapid increase in divbree, the i mining of the dignity and sane-* tity of the home, wheih is the basis of human society. 2. Higher and higher taxes . . . spending of public money - for bread and circuses, 3. The mad craze for pleasure, sports becoming each year more ex- "citing and more brutal. 4. The building of gigantic arma- ments when the real enemy was with- the free in . . . the decadence of the people. 5. The decay of religious faith; touch with life and becoming impotent' to guide the people. -- Canadian Statesman + " : The Red Cross canvasser is a vol- unteer. He is happy and proud to call on you. You can do your share by contributing to the Canadian Red New Frontier in Medicine One of the most exciting new fron- tiers in medicine is in the eontrol and © regulation of human metabolism. Me- taboltsm is the functioning of vuri- ous eells in the body to provide the energy necessary for life. Dr. Hans Selye, the noted Montreal. physio! t, believes that in the un- derstanding of these functions may lie the key to the conquest of many diseases. The hormones, secretions of the internal ducts and glands, are the body's' chemical messengers in the regulation and op- eration of metah- y olism--and life Only in the past-decade have scien- tists gathered exact knowledge of -how the hormones work. Out of this has come a radically new concept of disease. Dr. Selye has offered a theory ex- plaining between 30 and 40 diseases, including high blood pressure, arth- ritis and rheumatic fever, as a result' of -an abnormal body reaction to what he calls stress. The hormones. play the central role in this theory. Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, was found to respond dramatically to hormone drugs such as Cortril. This Tiare conipound urges the adrenal [gland to release hor- mones that ree the inflamed tis- sues and permit movement of the affected joints. : Whenever the body is subjected to a 'stress or strain--such as extreme cold, emotional shock or injury -- "there is always an outpouring of hor- mones from the adrenal glands. These hormones help the body compensate for the stress, but exactly how they do this is a mystery. Dr. Selye thinks that after repeated stresses the body becomes exhausted and what he calls "an adaptive dis- case," such as arthritis, results. This theory can explain a basic unity for seemingly different diseases, which in - turn may lead to bétter treatments There are more than a million Cana- dinn school children enrolled in the Cross.
