POV VV VOU VY IN September -- Scientists who have worked with the skeletons of the great prehistoric saurians have found that these ancient beasts suffered from arthritis. The remains of early man also show evidence of arthritic crippling. Down through the ages this has been a disease that afflicted mankind. "Treatment" has run the gamut in charms and talis- mans to ward off or "cure" arthritis, from carrying three chestnuts on the person to "magic rings" of copper. An- other superstition, which hasn't exactly been scorned by the modern physician, is that there is virtue in the venom supplied by an angry but co-operative bee. A certain amount of research has been tried in this field but ap- parently nothing proves that bees are the answer to the arthritis problem. More than a million Canadians are sufferers from arthritis and rheumatism. More than 285,000 are dis- abled, 63,000 totally or severely handicapped. Arthritis can strike anyone of any age, but with to- day's modern methods of diagnosis and treatment taken as early as possible, extreme cases of severe crippling can usually be prevented. The Canadian Arthritis Society came into being in 1948, when the then Minister of National Health and 'Welfare called a conference of experts in the field to re- > commend a plan to combat arthritis in Canada. The Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society was incorp- orated, dedicated to furthering research and professional education, and spreading of public health information on arthritis and related diseases. Through the Society, general hospitals are assisted in establishing arthritis clinics, which are part of hos- pital outpatient departments, operated under the hospi- tal's professional control. SEE TREE J oe Stark Contrast "We are, as Americans and Canadians alike, a rela- tive island in a rocky sea of poverty, hunger, disease and abject human misery. We are like billionaires living in a mansion in the midst of a vast ghetto. "Together we are only 10 per cent of the world's po- pulation. Yet we have about 75 per cent of the world's income. In contrast, 75 per cent of the world's popula- tion exists on less than $125 per person annually. "Meanwhile, the 20 largest underdeveloped countries produce better than half of the free world's industrial raw materials and consume less than five per cent of what they produce. All except one are non-white. "Thus, for the developed nations of the earth such as ours, economic development of the underdeveloped countries is not a mere opportunity--it is a necessity. . ." --Governor George Romney of Michigan.

The alleys will be open- ed for business on Septem- ber 15th, DHOVDD ODODE By BIL SMILEY >H® AGED HONEYMOONERS Things are rather at sixes and sevens around here today. It's Second Honeymoon time, and the Old Battleaxe and I are flying around in a tizzy of preparation. The fact that we'll have an 18-year-old son along for part of the honeymoon trip won't slow us down. He can find a girl of his own. The main thing is to get out of Town for a while. This business of running a summer hotel with the lowest rates on the con inent can prove trying. The clientele has been of i class, but the whole enterprise has its drawbacks. Not only do the guests expect you to stay up all night with them, but their children, who happen to be your nieces, nephews and other small buddies, expect you to be on deck at 7 a.m. to tell them: where the cereal is; how you turn on the lawn sprinkler; "Are we going swimming soon, Uncle Bill?"; and why Daddy was so grouchy when they tried to wake him. ; And there are other things. Next year I'm going to buy barbecue charcoal by the carload. I've cook- ed so many steaks and hamburgers I can't look a steer in the face. The manager of the local booze emporium told me the other day he'd give me a summer job next year, because I'm in there every day anyway. I've slept on a chesterfield in the liv. ing room, a couch in my study, a mattress on the attic floor, and half-reclining lawn chair, but I haven't been in my own bed in a month. Oh well, it's all part of the game, and we enjoy having them. However, I do think it's a bit much when they start making reservations for next year, and assuring us they'll recommend the place to all their friends, because of the low rates, excellent cuisine, free drinks, and nightly entertainment (no cover charge). At any rate, with nobody booked for this week, our wedding anniversary coming up, and daughter safely off to camp with enough clothes to go to Europe, and a bag of fruit, candy and cookies she could scarcely lift, we're getting ready for The Trip. First leg of The Trip will be up the Great Lakes, and I quote from the folder, * . liant days . . . cool nights with stars swinging low . sky-blue waters . . . etc" Actually, we'll have only one and a half of those long, lazy days, but two of those star-swinging nights 'It'll rain. 'I'll give odds. Eight to one. We're going on a passenger steamer known as Hugh's Boat. It used to bt ng to a steamer ser- vice line, but since son Hug : obtained a job this summer as Entertainment Steward, it has become known far and wide as ny After all, he . . long, lazy, bril- - has a pretty important position. He's listed on the directory of feature services with the Barber, Handy Shop and Motion Pictures. . I've promised to help him entertain the passen- gers by rendering my famous version of a drunk - singing, "I Belong Tae Glasgie". He was reluctant to impose on my good nature, but I brushed aside his repeated protests. His mother has promised not to embarrass him by telling him, in front of the passengers, that he needs a shoeshine, that he's not playing that piece in the right key, that he left his room in a mess last time he was home, or that it's high time he was in bed. Second leg of The Trip will be by car, around the top of the Lakes. We've left nothing to chance. I've borrowed sleeping 'bags from our music teacher, a tent from our minister, and money from our bank manager. We have a road map. It's an oldish one, 1954, but why worry about that! Well, bon voyage, and if you'll excuse me now I'll get out in the backyard and have another prac. tice go at putting up the preacher's tent. It's a pretty religious tent, I expect. Every time I get it up, it sinks to its knees in an attitude of prayer. --Toronto Telegram News Service
