"Future public ap- pearances, if conducted in the manner employed at Bowman- 4rille, will win him friends. In this personal tribute we by na means. retreat irom the position we have maintained in respect ai the party with which he is identi- fied and within which he has few peers in intelligence and capac- ity.01 This is a graceful tribute. It shows ta good advantage a sense ai fairness which should predom- mnate in aur relationships with those for whom we may have a feeling ai admiration personally, but toward whose politicai doc- trines we hold opposing views. Better is the frugal intellectual repast with contentment and vir- tue than the luxury ai iearning with egotism and vice.-Mary Baker Eddy. tian era---although it seems like downright biasphemy to cail it "Christian" arnid the self -made ruins of Christendom. Goering is thinner now, as he plays out his part in the crimin- al's dock-there is less fat over his heart. It is doubtful if, in his heart, he thinks any differently than when he said-while most ai Germany laughed-"we prefer guns before butter." They stili have plenty of guns lying around in Germany, and they also have what the guns brought. But there is littie butter. The ration in the British zone of Germany has been cut to one thousand calories a day-which is just two-fiiths of what the doctors say it takes to keep a person in fit health-and less than two-thirds the minimum even to keep a human being alive indefinitely. We could say that Germany has only got what she asked for-and that would be half true-but on- ly haif true-and hence as big a lie as half-truths always are. But here is the appalling fact. Ger- many is only now cut down ta the point that aur friends and allies -the French, the Czechs, the Yu- goslaves, the Greeks, have been trying to keep alive on for mon- ths or years past. Vast numbers of these have died-and are doing s0 day by day. Canada shouid rouse herseli as she has neyer done before to help avert what could, and probably wili be, the greatest catastrophe of ail time.

The pending famine is one re- suit ai the war. But the famine wili not necessarily be the final resuit. For in the weakened con- dition af Europe-plus the war's creation oi breeding spots for plagues-pestilence is not only highly possible but probable. We should rouse ourseives as a nation. We should act through churches, sehools, organizatians and groups of ail kinds. The need is desperate-immediate. Everybody can do something- if only to send a money donation ta the Save the Children Fund, 320 Bay Street, Toronto. Dr. Miller Speaks At Clarke Union Speaking at the Home and Sehool Club at Clarke Union an Tuesday evening, Dr. G. W. Miller re-iterated the need for better health education in the rural areas. He said that preventive medi- cine as a science was still in its iniancy but in spite af thîs, had some very notable discoveries ta its credit. The discovery of the use of D.D.T. he disclosed, was made by the Germans during the early part af the war and the sec- ret eventually reached England and U.S.A. via Switzerland. Pre- ventive medicine was not slow ta take advantage of new discover- ies or abandon aid procedures if they proved useless. He thought that the discontinuance of the practice of quarantining for mea- sles was a step in the right direc- tion and prophesied a a similar step with regard ta scarlet fever before long. The use ai scarlet fever serium was not justified ex- cept in the event ai an epidemie. He also gave an interesting ac- caunt of measles but dîd not ad- vocate the use of convalescent measles serum except in the very yaung. Dr. Miller concluded by giving a detailed account ai the Health Unit arganization in the counties and gave some idea af what the community could expect when the unit was functioning at ful strength.1 charge with censure on the prose- cution. In an interlude the cap, R. .Gaflagher, monologued The Prisoner's Song. This descrip- tion is ail too brief for the fast- moving comedy. The piano solo by Ray Dudley brought down the house insistent on encores. The girls' play, "Pen- ny's Diary," was a seria comic with Stella Bonk and Peggy Dip- peUl taking the major roles. Their lachrymatory clinches, mourning a pet canary were realism of high drama. The plot which was un- folcied by these talented thespians included minor parts taken, by Ulva Green, Hazel Cryderman, Joyce Grant and Tom DeGeer, as Arlene Northcutt read "Penny's Diary." The scene was a family home having a cat and a canary. While mother was away, and Penny and the girl friend were in the parior, a screech and flutter in the kitch- en persuaded theffi the cat had eaten the canary. They hung crepe on the door. That brought fiowers from neighbors and a press reporter. All assumed the moth- er had passed. The press obitu- ary, composed from an interview with Penny, stated that the de- ceased was fond of bird seeçl,- was devoured by a cat. TIIe finale, with ail forgiven, fourid the girls planning to mç'ke" boUquets from the Wfèâthï, to be sold and the money used for sodas, etc. The sailor's lament, sung in so- prano and baritone by an artist whose naine was not given, was given by a boy costumed ta rep- rment on one side, a female-pes- tered sailor, and on the other, a dock-side maiden mourning "Lo- ver Came Back ta Me." It was exceedingly well done, well re- ceived. The conciuding massed chorus sang seli-composed parodies tou- ching the characteristics of ail the teachers of the High School. It was an intriguing conclusion toaa very excellent, fast-moving haur's entertaininent.

Sparkflng.Talent ,1Hun<o6ur Revealed At High School Dramatic and musical talent in a measure ta challenge even Hol- lywood, featured the inter-form programn presented under auspi- ces ai the Literary Society ai Form 2, in the High Schol audi- torium, Friday afternoon. The boys and girls, given full latitude ta arrange and improvise, under direction ai their teachers, Miss Rice and Mr. Elliatt, assuredly ac- quitted themselves in a manner ta win great applause from the audience ai parents and pupils who occupied every available seat. It was a case ai sophomores employing high talent ta chal- lenge seniors for the schaol "Os- car" for 1946. In the absence af The States- man's drama critic the reparting assignment feli ta one ai the sports writers. It is hoped that this review may avoîd caloring attained in that field. t may be said at once that there is but one criticism, and that is: "Why not, with equipment available, a mim- eagraphed program?" Hence this report may omit names deserving mention in a very sparkling per- formance. Reading notes taken in semi- darkness we find nine divisions in the program which may be listed as iollows: 1, Introduction and reading ai minutes; 2, Master ai ceremonies; 3, Girl's sang skit Henry VIII; 4, Boys' play, "Who Heaved the Hammer?" 5, Prison- er's Sang by the Cap; 6, Piano solo; 7, Girls' play, "Penny's Di- ary;" 8, Sailor's solo, biiurcated; 9, Grand finale, mixed chorus. 0 Canada and the National Anthem bracketed the ensemble. The double-piano prelude, play- ed by Miss Audrey Northcutt and Ray Dudley, preceded approval of minutes read by Norma Piper and sigped by Lit President Winona Cla'rke who then introduced Ro- bert Knox, M.C. His address, with monologue interludes were in the Winchell tradition with Marx Bras. wit. A hit plus. Hîs first introduction was the skit- and-song pantomime, Henry VIII, with the chaired, castumed and crowned, Miss Medieval Monarch backed by five pantalooned vas- sals, singing vocal response. Those taking parts were Hazel Cryder- man, Yvonne Moore, Ruth Cale, Shirley Grant and Margaret White. The boys who staged the court case were: The judge, G. Morris; attorneys, J. Frank and R. Hall; clerk, E. Finney. The cast in- cluded J. Cattran, R. Gallffgher, W. Harnden, F. Tuerk, B. Fraser, E. Evans with supporting supers. The jury was compased entirely of bobby-sox co-eds. The drama involved a zoot- suiter with a coupe who with a hammer, conked the cap. The judge pre-disposed ta canvictiqn, learned that the accused came from the same town, same street as himself, and dismissed the j UT HAPPENED ON THE MORNINGO0F DEC. 16Y 1942 REMEMBER? It wLs on that winter morning, two years ago, that the consumer subsidy of 2c. per quart on fluid milk, paid by your Wartime Prices and Trade Board, came into effect. If it were nat for this subsidy, your milk today would stili cost you 2c. a quart more-just as it actually did in Navember 1942. Why did the WPTB decide ta take this action? Because, in the face af an ail-time high demand and rising prices, it was essential in the gçneral public interest ta hold the price of this basic food at a low level which would keep down the. cost-of-living index. In the face of this ail-trne high demand for fluid milk, the dairy farmer and your own neighborhood milk distributor have co-operated to provide a daily supply of this fine food, under mast trying and difficuit war-time conditions. Only by such splendid teamwork and by intelli- gently expanding both dairy herds and distributive services have Cana- dians everywherc been supplied with this essential nourish- Sment whenever and whereve it is required.
