Rich and poor have shared a common dqanger in which they have been intimately acquainted with death. Sharing in common has beâ€" come the rule of liféâ€"sharing in danâ€" ger, heroism, food and shelter and meâ€" dical care, and many men are realizing as they had never before realizeq how vital are the things which unite them, how superficial those that divide th>m. They have learned to take great pride and pleasure in their fellowâ€"men, and in those coâ€"operative undertakings which seek the wellâ€"being of all. Soldiers have always known the satisâ€" faction of this highest kind of patriotic service, and toâ€"day multitudes of civilâ€" lians are in the front line of battle. As one listens to a newsâ€"reelâ€"to a weaver, an admiral, a fisherman, a servantâ€"girl, a cabinet minister, the brother of the Queen, one is conscious chiefly of the common characteristics of the great national family. "Only the incurably sceptical can beâ€" lieve that these things will pass away with the coming of peace," says Prinâ€" cipal Wallace. The 80â€"page bulletin with its cover, "In spite of a daily diet of horrors and although many civilized peoples have been reduced to virtual slavery, it is strange to find that we are discoverâ€" ing happiness in places where we had been unaccustomed to look for it," Prinâ€" cipal Wallace remarks. ‘‘Our sense of national unity has probably never been so intense," he says, "and we are daily made aware that our most fundamental riches are those which we hold in common with our fellows and not individually. Daily we are astonished by the capacity and readiness of humble men and wom>n to contribute to the common wellâ€"being by deeds of heroism and selfâ€"sacrifice. University Bulletin for 1941 Proves Interesting Journal "This crisis in human history," says Principal M. W. Wallace in the 1941 University College Bulletin, fresh from the presses, "may well mark an epoch in the story of our social and economic progress. We shall not enter the Milâ€" lenium immediately, but many preâ€"war injustices and inequalities will seem no longer tolerable. And in this process we may discover new and satisfying kinds of human activity." Principalâ€" of ‘Toronto. Uniâ€" versity Looks With High Hopes to a Better Future. Each school is ably supervised by a principalâ€"at the Central School it is Mr. E. J. Transom; at the Birch Street school, it is Mr. F. A. Robinson; at the Moneta school, it is Miss F. MacDonâ€" ald: and at the it is Mr. R. Beattie. The four schools supply fiftyâ€"three airy and wellâ€"lighted classâ€"rooms. There are fiftyâ€"five teachers on the staff of the schools, with two of this staff as supply teachers. it may be slightly less due to the fact that many families have moved to southern and eastern industrial centres. it is expected that this year the numâ€" ber will be about the same, although Elien M. Terry, Principal Important Cases Are Remanded at Tuesday‘s Court Aircraftsman A. Lynch, staâ€"~ tioned at Calgary with the R.CA.F., and formerly connected with the firm of Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis of Timmins, was in police court on Tussday afternoon facing a charge of theft of $1840 by conversion and he was ready to proâ€" ceed with the charge against him withâ€" out the aid of any legal advice. When the charge was read to him by the magistrate he was asked if he wanted to be tried before a magistrate or a Jjudge and jury. Lynch replied that he wanted Magistrate Atkinson to try the case and said that he was ready to go ahead with it. The crown atiorney, S. A. Caldbick said that he also was ready to proceed with the case but when the first witâ€" ness was called, Mr. W. H. Burnes, Number of Remands are Granted in Important Liâ€" quor Cases. Theft by Conâ€" version Count Remanded. As evidence of the popularity which the plan has achieved in Ontario cities, result of the presentation to the staff of the John Inglis Company nearly 6000 participants had recently enrolled as a group. This was but one example of large industrial group enrolments, he stated. It was emphasized that the plan was a purely coâ€"operative community efâ€" fort, that it was free from the profitâ€" making motive, that its board of adâ€" ministration worked without payment, and that its overhead was strictly limited. Monetary success of the plan would be returned to subscribers in the form of extended and increased beneâ€" fits. In either case, he said, the farmer would be subject to the same a month for himself alone or a dollar a month for himeslf, his wife and all members of his immediate family beâ€" low the ags of 18 yearsâ€"and would be entitled to the same benefits as is the urban subscriber. These benefits were: immediate and complete hospitalâ€" ization in case of need and without regard to the length of time during which fees had ‘been paid, for a period up to three weeks in any one year, as Mr. Saunders mentioned that as well as use of operating room, pathâ€" ological and bioâ€"chemistry â€" services, drugs, medications, dressings. etc. Th hospital jbills would be pait. direcily by the plan. cperation with various farmers‘ orâ€" ganizations, such as creameries, credit unions, coâ€"cperatives, ete. The second would include each farm family as part of the population of the nearest town or village and permit farmers to apply for the serviceâ€"a nonâ€"profit on»â€" through a local bank, newspaper office or similar sponsor. Mr. N. H. Saunders, Secretary of the Plan for Hospital Care, stated that his board of administration was considerâ€" ing two alternative schemes for exâ€" tending its ibenefits to rural cases. One was, to regard farmers as a speâ€" cial economic group, to which the plan would ‘be opened by means of coâ€" Announcement Made by Ofâ€" ficial of Health League of Canada.

To the Editor of The Globe and Mail: With reference to a shortage of gasoâ€" line for this war, does it not appear that the speed of all cars should be not more than twenty miles, both for city and country? Why increase the country speed to more than the city speed? Théere are more killed and hurt on country highways than on city streets, and the only solution to control the spsed of cars is not by traffic officers, but by installing a governor on all cars, locked for twenty miles per hour, these to be sold by the Government as a compulsory measâ€" ure, at a profit, in order to overeome the loss of fines for speeding. Toronto. T. M. Kirkwood. scheme for Reduction in the Use of Gasoline There are always coccasional letters to the editor that say a great deal in a few words. Here is a sample one from Monday‘s Globe:â€" The "crude death rate" from cancer was said to have doubleq in the last 20 years, and in 1940 cancer accountagd for 17 per cent of all the deaths in Toronto. of the heart, artâ€" eries and kidneys caused 47 per cent of the deaths, the majority in this group arising from diseases of the heart. On the other side of the ledger is the fact that deaths from cancer, and from diseases of the heart, arteries and kidneys have greatly increased, according to the Health Department‘s figures. uie ataatasts nel es e« _ a4 *4 ing their first year. The maternal mortality rate in 1940 had reached the low figure of 3.3 per 1,000. In 1911â€"1915, the average tuberculosis death rate for Toronto was 109.3 per 100,000. _A progressive decrease, year by year, reduced this appalling figure to 29.6 per 100,000 in 1940. Notable Work Being Done by Toronto Health Dept. smallpox appeared to have bechn completely banished from the city, there being no cases registered in the eightâ€"year period 1933â€"40. Modern safeguards had their effect also on the infant mortality rate.

Purification of the City‘s water supâ€" ply and pasteurization of its milk are shown to have reduced the incidence of typhoid in Toronto from an average of 31.4 during the period 1890â€"1911â€" with a high of 99.6 per 100,000 of populationâ€"to one of .3 since 1834. In six years, 1935â€"40, there were only 10 deaths from typhoid in Toronto. In 1929, the death rate from diphâ€" theria was 10.6. Consistent immunizaâ€" tion with toxoid had cut that rate to 24 in 1982. Since that year it reâ€" mained at about 1 per 100,000.
