It may have other aims, such | as to give the merchants a chance to | tell of their goods in its columns or j to try to influence public oponion | through its editorial columns; or to amuse or instruct; but fiist of all, it must give news. Some of this news is | not easily obtained and no editor ! can cover it without assistance. There-i fore, we ask our readers' assitance. | Especially is it true when you have | visitors. Many of the ladles think j that personals are the .whole paper. I Your visitors naturally are glad to have their names printed. So send them in. Sometimes people come in ! and give the impression that they are I asking a favour when they want us j >o insert the names of their friends j *'ho have been spending a few days j 'vith them. No person need fell that i vay who has an item of real news. ! Medical science has declared a victory over smallpox, yellow fever and | typhoid. If everyone would help, a I similar victory could be declared Over | tuberculosis. One way of helping | is to buy and use Christmas Seals.

If you don't need --don't buy it. Jo young Wloth&M whose problem is caring lor a Baby NO-ONE but a mother can know the tremendous amount of work involved in satisfying the needs of an infant or a young child, for even one day. Attending a sick or injured child for a day in the Hospital for Sick Children demands still greater effort . . . painstaking . . . patient . . . alert . . . ever-watchful. In addition, it requires the greatest possible degree of medical skill and nursing efficiency. Mukiply this one-day effort by 17, which is the average number of days each Public Ward patient is treated. Then multiply by 8,200. which is the number of patients admitted to the Hospital during one year. The result is a staggering total, measuring as eloquently as cold figures can, the tremendous volume of personal effort demanded from the Hospital Staff. Despite the fact that the treatment and nursing of children requires such a high degree of proficiency from every angle, the costs of the Hospital for Sick Children are kept at vary low levels. Evan so, the Provincial and Municipal grants and all other revenue are inadequate to meat the coat Unfortunately, too, wa have no largo group of patients who pay high fees--40t of our 420 beds being in Public Wards. An annual deficit cannot be avoided if proper care and attention ia to be given needy little ones. It is because we believe you would not want us to turn away any child, broken in health or body, that we appeal annually to the public to make up the deficit. This year, we must raise $70,000.00. We appeal to you for a donation -- aa large as your circumstances permit -- 15% $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00 -- no amount at too great . . . none too small. Why not send along your donation now? All you need is a piece of paper and an envelope. Write your name on the paper, pin cheque or banknotes to it and fold silve* inside. Acknowledgment of all subscrip* •Jons, large or small, is made in the columns of The Evening Telegram. SEND YOUR DONATION TO THE APPEAL SECRETARY We do not share in the lunds collected by the Toronto Federation for Comirunity Service because we admit patients from all parts of the Province. HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDRtTI IXMAS TREES BRING IN AMERICAN DOLLARS Ottawa, November 8th, 1948.-- When Santa Claus hangs his gifts o» Canadian Christmas trees in American homes next month, he will be taking part in an operation which nets this country some two million U. S. dollars every year. Sales of Christmas trees to the American market have long been a substansial source of revenue to Canada. Last year they produced $1,900-000 in U. S. funds during the brief season. As in the case of all commodity sales to the United States, payment for such exported trees is required in U.S. dollars. This year, however, to prevent non-resident buyers from circumventing this requirement, a new procedure, which came into effect last October 4fch, will apply. United States buyers who come to Canada to make their own purchases-for export will have to establish beyond any doubt that the goods have been paid for with U.S. dollars or with Canadian dollars obtained by exchanging U.S. dollars at a bank in Canada. When Christmas trees are shipped in the name of the non-resident buyer, he or his agent must be prepared to surrender to Canadian customs officers a bill of sale or s receipt from the seller, certified by both buyer and seller, which states clearly whether United States or Canadian currency was used to close the transaction. If Canadian currency was used, proof that it was obtained by exchanging U. S. dollars at a bank in Canada is also essential. Unless both these provisions can be met, the exporter or his agent must leave a deposit of 10 per cent, of the value of the purchase with the Collector of Customs and Exise at the Canadian port of exit, pending verification that these regulations have been complied with. Otherwise customs officers are instructed not to allow the shipment to go forward to the United States. In cases where a Canadian resident sells to a non-resident and makes the export in his own name, he must insist on obtaining payment in U. S. dollars and Immediately sell then to his bank. Jimmy Snieldss, one of Canada's favorite tenors, will appear as guest singer on the Northern Electric Hour broadcast on Monday evening, November 22. The program, which is heard weekly over the CBC Trans-Canada network, this time will originate in Montreal, and the concert orchestra will be under the direction of the well-known conductor Allan Mclv.-- ' ; ' Trinity Church, Colborne | Rev.
