Mr. Miller will explain how it came a- bout that since the conclusion of the! war the efforts of the Red Cross have! been diverted to peace-tlme work as| a voluntary public health organiza- tion. “The usual idea of public health | is that it deals with sanitation and | with the control of communicable} diseases. Formerly this was per-| fectly true and complete, but public | health now has a new and broader | meaning. The production and main~| tenance of sanitary surroundings and | the control of disease Hable to cause | epidemics is still an essential ‘part of the work of every public health | body, but there has been added a| new movement of an educational character—educating people in the lawa of liealth. “The reasons for this great change | centre in the lessons tanght by the War. You will remember the ter-! Tibly long casualty ‘lists published | during the war. but do you realize} that for every Canadian soldier who was killed in that great strugele, a! Canadian child fell a victim to di-' sease. ' “Do you also realize that it is an equally true statement to say that of the diseases amongst children, al) least one in four could have been! prevented if the parents had been familiar with certain simple rules of | health both for themselves and for their children. “In addition to the appalling waste of child life, an alarming amount of physical unfitness was revealed a- mongst the class of the community that could be expected to be in full} health and vigour. Official records} show that just over one-half of the| young Canadians called for military, service were physically unfit for full! duties in the field. These facts are! very significant and would be truly appalling were it not that medical | science has reached the stage where | a great deal of this loss of life and physical handicap can be removed) if and when knowledge of health is! more general. Such knowledge ed useless to the community 1f it is secreted in the minds of a compara-_| tively small section of the commun- ity, and to spread this knowledge | by public health education is the new | | task of the Red ‘Cross. “There are many forms that such! public health education can take—| Child Welfare, Anti-tuberculosis work; Social and Mental Hygiene: | School Nursing; Public Health nurs-| ing—these are only a few of the| fields of endeavour that lie open be-| fore you, and which field you select | will depend on your local needs and! opportunities. “The results to be expected from this work are far reaching and cer- tain for it is perfectly true that ev- ery community has within {tself the power of determining the death rate of that community and, as Dr. Mec- Cullough the Chief Medical Officer af Health for Ontario, has said: “The wealth of a country rests not al- together in well-kept farms and great industries, but upon a healthy, sturdy and vigorous race of children. “In addition to these material benefits in improved health and dim- inished disease and suffering. you will also find that the Red Crass work {tn peace-time offers, as it did in war-time, a splendid opportunity for unselfish service to one's fellow men and this {deal of service is as fundamental a portion of Red Cross’ activities in peace as it was during the war." Mr. A. M. Miller gave a brief his- tory of the creation of the Red Cross, ‘hurch; it is still with us and ifs flourishing. and it will be here long after we are dead and forgotten; would it not, then, be a great deal better for us to try regulation than to continue our futile efforts at el- imination? I very much resent Bro. Davies’ statement that "No person can im- bibe the pleasures of the theatre and at the same time give a good ring- ing testimony for Jesus Christ."’ Sup- pose Bro. Davies tries it—only let him be as discreetly selective as when purchasing a book—and then see. Also 1 dare say when Bro, Davies reads a new book he does s0, as we all do, without much concern for either the writer’s or the publisher's religious views; and the fact that either of them fs not a patron of the Church never detracts from the Pleasure and profit with which we peruse their volumes. I trust Bro. Davies will see the wisdom of assisting, with the rest of us, in creating a public sentiment for a wholesome and an _ elevating theatre instead of futilely trying to eliminate it.

Camlachie, Ont. ‘Died On Operating Table From Choking Walkerton, April 21. — Death came with startling suddenness this morning to a well-known Walkerton young man, John W. Freiburger. The deceased had been troubled with his tonsils of late and went to the hos- pital this morning to have them re- moved. He was in very good spirit and while walking to the hospital joked and laughed with those ac- companying him. While under the anaesthetic he | choked and before anything could be | done for ‘him had passed away. The late Mr. Freiburger had been in the blacksmith business in Walk- erton for a number of years. He was about 24 years of age and is sur- vived by his wife. one child and his aged parents and several brothers. ‘Government Goes Into Cement Business ~- Globe—An item of one million dollars for a Provincial cement plant was passed at 1 o'clock this morning by the Ontario Legislature, sitting as a committee on supplies. Hon. F. C. Biggs, Minister of Pub- lic Works, explained that the money would provide for a one-unit plant with productive capacity of 300,000 ' barrels of cement per year. This will be obtained by the Pro- yinee for use on the Provincial roads system, at less cost than is being paid by the government at present. its work In time of War and its new Peace-time programme. He pointed out that the beginning of modern methods of dealing with the sick and woundéd in time of war, begun the time of the Crimean War, was the result of pressure of public opin- ion, and that the creation of a strong public opinion was just as necessary for the advancement of health in time of peace. He stated that the Membership Enrollment Campaign, which is to be held in the week of May 22nd, 1921 was the first step of the Canadian Red Cross Society in The Crusade for Good Health, which was a world-wide movement in which thirty-one Red Cross Societies were engaged. ,, Pusiness Places of Listowel Close’ at 12 0’clock Wednesdays, Starting May Fo et act Biren hia a ' Bw ee ag at ole Rear 2 = ST Le ets eee ae ‘Sets. ee kde = eae aoe. ska A RSE a ei no ¢ at - sacri eet d will Soe acid
