Your Rexall Druggists Che Baerkum Arvicw COL. MacLEAN NOW 75 YEARS OLD} Whether we like it or otherwise}| the years have a habit of accumulâ€"| ating and almost before we realize it| our age becomes common discusâ€" sion among our friends. Such we are sure. is the experience of Col. John Bayne MacLkean, who recently marked | his 75th birthday. Durham likes‘ to claim the colonel as one of her | distinguished sons, though his con-s nection with the town is with his | mother, who in her widowed daya,l resided here with her sister, thelate Mrs Rev. Chas. Cameron. Both of‘ Mrs. MacLcan‘s sons, â€" Col. John Bayne and Col. Hugh, were Aevoted sons, and her heritage of good works was lovingly transferred to them. "Lieut..Col. John Bayne MacLean V.D., LLD., has had one of the most colourful as well as busy careers In modern Canadian history. Not only is he a Canadian who started his life‘s work as a "cub" newspaper reporter and who is now a millionaire publishâ€" er and chief of Canada‘s most widely known publishing corporations; _ but in spite of the struggle and the effort which his rise in journalistic circles must have meant, he is a man who has succeeded in getting a lot of joy â€" out of life _ at the same timeâ€"a man of many parts, who takes a wide and a kindly interest in many other fields of endeavor not partlcu.l-‘ arly identified with the publishing business. The list of enterprises of one kind and another with which he has been identified takes up nearly half a page in the various "Who‘s Who" publications which carry his biography." \ _ There are lessons to be learned from the public interest in an epidemâ€" ic of this type which go far beyond the control of this particular disease. There is a peculiar quirk in human psychology which seems to demand the dramatic. An epidemic of poliomyâ€" elitis seems to be in the same class as the sinking of a Titanic because to some degree the circumstances are similar. Yet the sudden dramatic death in an epidemic is not the only death. Unheralded and unsung, death has her daily victories without benefit of publicity. As a result of our failure to realize that most illness is preventâ€" able and most deaths postponable, |if not preventable, we fail to set preâ€" ventive machinery in motion. It takes an epidemic to stimulate us to even consider the simplest of hygienic preâ€" ‘cautions. We drink unpasteurized milk and eat without washing our Now comes the time of year when motorists face the extra hazards of bad weather. These hazards may be compensatâ€" ed somewhat by the fact fewer cars are on the road, but, neverâ€"theâ€"less motorists _ should exercise special caution . Henceforth until Spring they must expect the perils of rain and sleet and fog and snow and ice. They prepare for these handicaps by having their cars checked for faulty brakes, old skiddy tires and other mechanical faults. More important, they should check themselves to learn whether behind the wheel they are wsing the unceasâ€" ing caution that is a motorist‘s greatâ€" est protection. in â€" mechanical â€" prefectionâ€"none . of these can contribute to traffic safety unless the man behind the wheel drives with care. The most expensive insurance, the finest brakes and tires, the last word You should drive carefully at all times,of course, but especially now when the boisterous weather of Fall and Winter is stacked against you. Undoubedly infantile paralysis is a serious . disease. It kills and it crippies. It has blighted the lives of thousands of children and sadness has followed in its wake in myriads of families. The voice of the press has been â€" a powerful factor in calling attention to the need for action if this sinister figure in the diminishing galaxy of the killers of children is to be chainel and destroyed. There are features about an epiâ€" demic of poliomyelitis (infantileâ€"parâ€" alysis) which arouse public interest. The epidemic comes suddenlyâ€"mysâ€" teriously It strikes often where least expected. It leaves behind it not only dcath but pathetic little victims upon whose bodies have been left as the reâ€" minder of asinister visitation a dragâ€" ging foot, a hanging armâ€"to hinder them ever afterwards in their proâ€" gress through life.

One sometimes hears criticism of publicity with reference to epidemic because it may create panic. There no cvidence of panic in connection the present epidemic; only a lively but healthy understanding of a seriâ€" ous â€" situation. followed sooner or later by sensible moves in the direcâ€" tion of prevention. This is as it should be, Perhaps if it were possible to creâ€" ate a similar psychological reaction with reference to other death dealing maladies action would be prompt. Naturglly it would be more effective because there are many Causes of death and disability both in young and the old which are better underâ€" stocd than that which at themoment has succeeded better than the others in capturing the public imagination. | The spinning of fine linen _ yarns ‘and the weaving of damask and fine ‘linen is still a technique and an art |\ dependent upon skilled hands rather !than the mechanical perfection _ of { the machine, which is in _ contrast | with many other manufacturers. In |certain sections of Ireland, Scotland, northern France and Belgium, men and women have been working with flax for so many years that â€" their | deft fingers handle the sturdy yarn in a way unexcelled by machines. It is from these countries that we get our finest linens. Thoroughbreds are coming back into favour again, along with feminine‘ styles for women and graceful and polite manners for both sexes. In England, a thoroughbred asks "Is it cricket?"â€"over here, he asks,"Is it fair play?" The meaning is the same, because a thoroughbred is a thoroughâ€" bred in any language. He is one who "plays the game"â€"any game, like a gentleman. That‘s all!. The art of turning flax fibre into cloth has been practised for at least 8,000 years. Egyptian nobles wore whirts of sheerest linen, the Greeks and Romans valued linen as a rare and costly material. Today it is still an aristocrat among fabrics. The principal linen weaves are the plain weave used for clothing and embroidâ€" ery linens, twill weave for heavy fabâ€" rics and satin weave for damask taâ€" ble linen. _ Today most linens are bleached by chemicals, but the best quality linens are still grass bleachâ€" He may be a business man, a ball player, a socialite, a poet or a prize fighterâ€"but he never is a bounder. He may wear evening clothes or overâ€" alls; he may carry a walking stick or a shovelâ€"but he always carries the thorcughbred‘s code and lives up to it. More and more, we are borrowing the phrase "Is it cricket?". and hearing it repceated. Yet some peo ple still think _ of it as merely an English sport, in which you knock a ball through wickets. That human skill which is necesâ€" sary for making the fine:t linen is necessary for the flax itself. Clumsy handling of the flax straw in any one of the many stages through which it goes before it is ready for the spinâ€" ning machine may result in fibre of poor spinning quality. But. the term means far more than that. "Cricket" is fair play.t is being "sporting" in everything. It is instinctively knowing the decent thing to do. It is something finer than mere honesty, more delicate than the ordinary requirements of good breedâ€" ing, and harder to explain than a French idiom. THE DURHAM REVIEW ARE YOU A THOROUGHBRED? .
