Goodwill Toward Men To our customers and the many kind people we haVfe met since coming%o t!his community, we wish to extend the COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON STAN ROBINSON Butcher Phone 74 HE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20th, 1945 THE LEGION'S CALL FOR TOTAL VICTORY In 1941, when the fate of civilization was hanging in the balance, we addressed to the Prime Minister of Canada "The Legion's Call for Total War," urging the immediate, complete and scientific mobilization of our resources--spiritual, intellectual, financial, agricultural, industrial. Many of its proposals were afterwards carried out by the Government. We now address ourselves to the lople of Canada because Total Vie-to be won. Victory in ;he field must be matched by victory at home, over everything that weakens and divides the nation. The things that weaken can be found in everyone; every Canadian, therefore, can start with himself. Every Canadian must accept his responsibility. Our greatest task lies ahead. Total Victory demands a total effort for a new world, worthy of the sacrifice our comrades have made. We, as veterans, believe that we must fight for this new world here in Canada. The Legion issues this Call for Total Victory in the name of the hundreds of thousands of Canadian men and women who, in past wars and in the war just ended, have served their King and Country. As Canadians and members of the British Empire Service League, we are proud of the role played by the British Commonwealth and Empire in the struggle for freedom and pledge ourselves to do our part in creating the great moral forces required for Total Victory. After the First Great War most of us felt that our efforts were finished with the winning of the war. Now we know that the job is not over because military victory has been achieved. COUNTIES HEALTH UNIT At its meeting December 8th, in the Counties Council chambers with Mr. C. R. Carveth, chairman, presiding, the Northumberland-Durham Board of Health received from Dr. C. W. MacCharles, Director of the Health Unit, a report of activities during November and discussed plans for the future. There is now a staff of three medical officers of health, including besides the Director, Dr. MacCharles, Dr. G. W. Miller, Bowmanville, who started his duties November 1, and Dr. Charlotte Horner, Campbellford, who has been here since November 18. Other members of the staff are: One sanitary inspector, Mr. A. R. Hall, who reported for duty November 7, six public health nurses, and one office secretary. The lack of cars for all the staff continues to be a great handicap. This results partly from the delay in getting new cars and partly as the result of wearing out of old ones. At present there are three cars belonging to the staff in running order, and one car on loan from the Ontario Department of Health. Office quarters are being prepared for the head office in Cobourg, and for two sub-offices, in Bowmanville and Campbellford, and these will be occupied by staff members by January 1st. Applications of two qualified public health nurses were received and accepted by the Board. Miss Anne Earshman, Belleville, is a graduate of Belleville General Hospital and of the public health nursing course at McGill University. Her experience included school nursing in Belleville for a number of years prior to the war, and she is a recently discharged matron of the R.C.A.M.C.' Miss Mary The conflict will continue with the | Scott> Crystal Beach, Ontario, forces of good and evil arrayed against each other. For Canada, having won the war of arms, has still to achieve the ideals of peace. Total Victory will come only when these ideals have been achieved. Our fathers, inspired by a vision of Canada devoted to the God, chose as their motto, have dominion from sea to sea." This the heritage we have received, and . this heritage we must build our nation. The children of our country, who e its greatest potential wealth, must _-ow up in this fighting faith. They will then respond to the challenge to live to make their country great. This purpose will give them the incentive to learn the dignity of work, the value of a task well done and the dynamic qualities of teamwork. Only thus can national unity be achieved. Hundreds of thousands of houses will need to be built. Yet homes are more than houses, and Canadians have the challenging task of creating the kind of homes and family life that will make this nation strong, clean, united. To build the Canada we want is an enterprise which requires the work of all. It will need the combined ini tiative and imagination of government, management and labour, freed from the menace of fear and greed. Made rich by the special gifts of every race within it, Canada will then demonstrate its answer to the chaos of conflicting races which, throughout history, has challenged the peace of the world. Thus will Canada fulfil the vision of our King who said: With God's grace, you may yet become the example which all the world will follow." In the faith that the people of Canada are with us, we issue this Call to Action for Total Victory. |ROQUEFORT LEGEND le Roquefort type of cheese is made in many parts of the ■ world but it is named for a cave in ■France where it is supposed to have ■originated.

Five hundred and ninety-five children were given special physical inspection by nurses, and among these 131 appealed to have some defect other than dental, concerning which the parents were advised to consult their family physician. Three hundred and twenty-eight had dental defects. Five hundred and seventy-eight children were given a superficial examination, because of suspected minor communicable disease such us scabies, head lice, etc. Forty-seven children were excluded from school because of these conditions.
