Several British war brides in Toronto and a number from outside have contacted the Red Cross in an effort to get back to England. This causes all departments a great deal of unnecessary work. Apart from the fact that it is unfeasible because of present shipping conditions, each of the brides who made application to come to Canada also signed at that time an undertaking promising that she would make no application to return to Britain until after the war.

EIGHTH VICTORY LOAN HONOUR SHIELD There seems to be a great deal of interest in the Honour Shield to be awarded to the district in Northumberland which tops its Victory Loan Objective by the highest percent. Every one of the 14 districts has an equal chance. The objectives have been set on an equal comparative basis. Colborne won the shield last campaign with 185% of objective. It is reported that Colborne already has a place dusted off for the new shield, but the race is on and all honour to the district which comes out on top. DIPHTHERIA This dreaded disease has been greatly on the increase in European Countries which have been occupied by the Germans during the past five years. With the return of our soldiers there will be an increase in the number of cases in Canada. Almost all infants 6 to 12 months of age are susceptible to Diphtheria; the death rate for this disease is highest among those Who are in the early years of life; and half of all deaths from the disease occur among children of pre-school age. In these circumstances it is obviously desirable that diphtheria toxoid be administered to children before they have attained school age, PREFERABLY DURING THEIR FIRST YEAR OF LIFE. An added advantage of this practice is obvious from the fact that reactions to diphtheria toxoid are very rarely encountered among children of pre-school age* whereas in the case of older children a reaction The administration of diphtheria toxoid will be done for all citizens of Colborne without charge by the Medical Officer of Health who will be at his office Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 5 o'clock.
