Across the batered road to Rome they join hands with the fighting French, and Yankee boys swap yarns with kids from Ontario and Quebec, while lads from farms in Kansas talk about drought to the boys from Ontario ........ as they march along together in a great fighting force. In Canada we march along together, too, a land army presenting a united front against the common enemy--inflation. For instance: If the cost of living index were to show an increase of only one per cent, it would mean nearly forty million dollars increase in Canada's living expenses ........ an increase that would be felt in every home. Canada takes first place in world-wide fight against inflation and ballooning prices. Look at Ireland. Ireland is a country which has suffered heavily since 1939. Her prices have increased on the average about 70 per cent, and in brave fighting China the sky's the limit. In Canada cur living costs have gone up only about 18 per cent since the day hostilities started, and most of this increase took place before the ov all price control was established 1941. The rise since that time 1 only been a scant three per cent. Canvas can be preserved from rot or mildew by applying coats of varnish or paint, but care must be taken to see that the protective coating is put on thinly enough to permit it to penetrate the pores of the cloth and to permit the fabric to retain reasonable pliability. Painting of the interior of a room in which there hase been a person with an ifectious disease destroys the £erms on all surfaces to which the paint is applied. Paint and germs just don't get along together. | « RATION CARDS FOR AMERICAN TOURISTS * American tourists are entitled t> the same ration allowances as are provided for Canadian citizens.

I look well enough but I need your help . . . "BELIEVE IT OR NOT--I've spent a quarter of my life in The Hospital for Sick Children. But then, I'm only six months old. My little feet were being straightened so that I'd be able to romp and play when I'm older. "I'm all better now -- going home to-morrow. I feel just fine, too, except when Z think of the debts I'll be leaving behind. You see, Daddy isn't able to pay for the wonderful care and treatment I received. "The Government and the city I live in, together, paid $2.35 each day I was hers. Unfortunately, that isn't enough because it costs the Hospital an average of $3.45 every * day to treat me and each other little patient. "More than eight thousand little children were cared for here last year, just like me. We're the ones who cause the large deficit of The Hospital for Sick Children every year-- . bat everyone admits that we're worth it. "It isn't our fault that we get sick or become crippled, but the least we can do is appeal to you for help--particularly when we know that this Hospital does not share in the Toronto Federation for Community Service funds because Public Ward patients are admitted from any part of the Province. t this deficit? Even a small "PLEASE---send it TODAY!" THE HOSPITAL for SICK CHILDREN
