48 Six William Osler, the famous mediâ€" cal man, onee remarked that, "There is always & group of individuals in every community of that peculiar orâ€" der of mind which rendefs them inâ€" capable of sane judgment and who keek in every way to oppose vaccinaâ€" tion and reâ€"vaceination ,not cnly for thomseives but also for others." We have found this to be so in Canada, and we have not theâ€"slightâ€" eat docht that if a smallâ€"pox epidemic were to make its ghastly presence felt t»mortrow there would be the usual handful of people to raise a hue and cry against vaceination.

We find that not tom years passed during the seventeenth century withâ€" out the occurrence of devastating epidemics of samailpor in Europs. Smail pox was the king of discases prior to the discovery of vaccination in 1798. _A French writeor, Monsioutr de in Condamine, said that it was the eause of oneâ€"tenth of all the deaths amonsz mankind. Macauley the English historian, in writing about ecnditions in his counâ€" try says: "The havoe of the black plague has been far more rapid, but the plague visited our shores only once within the living memory, but the smallâ€"por® was always present, filling the churchyards with corp30s leaving on those whose lives wore sparod the hideous traces of its powâ€" er turning the babe into a changeling at which the mother shudderd; makâ€" Ing> the cyes and cheeks of the bo trothed malden objects of horror to her lover." 6/ \ba s â€"‘l-nvt;t;t‘.- Macauley concludes, "Smallâ€" pox is the most terrible of all mints ters of death." we Mexieo was atricken with an epidâ€" bmic in the sixteenth century, and $,500,000 of its inhabitants died, leayâ€" Ing scarcely enoug! people in some @entres to bury the dead. .

Four years ago the newspapera all over Canada blazoned forth this neows as today thoy arte giving giant headlines to the discovery of lignite in Northern Ontario or the gold find at C€hurchill. But this time ‘despatches regarding the latter are warning against the dangers of any rush to tho distant goldfield at this time of the year and are emphasizing the hazards run by individual gold seekers who brave the northern wildorness at this season. Why? â€" Because after.. the éxciteâ€" mout incidental to the Red Lake disâ€" covery when thousands of prospactors pushed their way to the goldfields late in the year, extreme hardship, satck ness and often death itself faced those who bad staked their claims, . Real disaster threatoned, but the Red Cross stepped in to prevent the most sorious‘ consequences of their hardtâ€" hood. Aeroplanes rushed the Directâ€" or and staff of the Ontario Red CGross to the scenc and plans wore at once made to meet the needs. ‘The Canaâ€" dian â€" National Railways (coâ€"operated at once by placing a fully equipped hospital coach at their disposal. This was drawn to the siding at Hudson, a point nearest to the Red Lake trail, and there the Red Cross nurses began {thelr ministrations of mercy . which lasted during the rest of that memorâ€" lablo trek. With the gradual settioment of the Red.

Jatpbsson. © ° ° Coach, with its two trained nurses in charge, has brought to the twao or throe thousand families in the locality that actual help and sense of security which come only when hospital faciliâ€" tios and nursing care* are available. With its four bods, its medical supâ€" plies, its comforts for the sick and its hardâ€"working nurses it has spelied safety for men, women and children. Nor has its use onded within its own borders. During the time it has been travelling to and fro the nurses have made 549 visits to the homes of sctâ€" tlers, have seen many babies into the world, have visited 18 schools and exâ€" amined 263 school children and have mot all emergencies in the district. But now has come a further evoluâ€" tion. Just a year after the Coach moved into Kakaboka, in December, 1928, tho‘ people decided that they must have a pormanent Outpost. The whole community got busy and toâ€"day this is an accomplished fact, On Augâ€" ust 2ist the Kakabeka Hospital was opened. It has two wards of four beds, a baby ward and a «recdptionat room. The baby ward was furnished entirely by the Kiwanians of the Twin Cities, many other furnishings were donated locally and toâ€"day the build« ing standa with only a debt of six hunâ€" drod dollars againat it. From the small boy who raffied hisâ€"pet rooster ‘to ratse a fow dollars for the Qutpost to the largest givers the whole comâ€" munity has shown that it was "sold" in its entirety to the idea that a hosâ€" pital is indispensable in any and all places. 8o the Coach Hospital is getting ready to move to other fields of iabor in frontier sections. An engine will carry it away just as soon as the new Outpost is in full working order. But in another sense it will never "move on." It has done its work in a double sense. As a hospital it has well served the people for whom it=was intended. As a missionary it has spread an idea and educated a whole community and inthe permanent Outpost which has taken Its placa, and which will grow with the needs of Kakabeka it has loft the bost kind of material. * IDLENES$ A Nothing is so insupportable to man as to be completely idle.* For he then feels all his nothingness, all his weakâ€" ness, all his emptiness.‘ At‘once in his idleness and from the deeps of his soul, thore will _ arlso weariness, gloom; sadness, wexation, disappoifitâ€" mont, despatr.â€"Pascal. worss & | 4 & <10 ARCHIVES TORONTO | The ‘vigor with ; which Sir [lubert!
