On Friday evening last a splen- did programme of classical and instrumental music .was presented in Humber_ Heights school by the pupils of Miss A. E. Campbell, A,T.., J.C.M., L.C.C.M., and under whose direction the event was carried out. Proceeds were in aid of Soldiers' Comfort Club. The girls' and the boys' ensembles consisted of some 40 pupils, whilst the soloists numbered eight including "Billy" Livings and Miss Margaret Olsen, xylophonist, accompanied by her sister F orence, whilst Miss Joan Livings delighted the large audience with her dan- cing. Much credit is due Miss Campbell on the efficient manner in which all her pupils acquitted _ hemselves, it being generally ad- ttted that the program was one the finest ever submitted in the ool. It is interesting to note that for the past 10 or 12 years Miss Campbell and her pupils have " ways been ready to assist in any worthy cause. Secretary J. Mevit, tie and the executive of the Soldiers Comfort Club, express their sincere thanks to Miss Campbell, her mother and all of her brilliant pu- pils, whose efforts resulted in the sum of near] $20.00 being raised for the club Ui','. During the in- termission in the program home made candy was on sale, and was in charge of Miss Margaret Cover and Miss Jean Tomlinson. These two girls are to be com- mended for their efforts at various events, and their willingness to co- operate at all times. Many re- quests have been made to Secret- ary MeVittie to try and arrange a repeat performance at an early date when it is felt a crowded auditorium would welcome these talented young musicions. On this occasion the funds may be devot- ed to the local branch of the Add E. Campbell 's Pupils Entertain Large Audience Clean-Up Time is Here Make Plans This Month With warm weather and bright sunshine comes the urge to clean up the back yard, the attrie and the cellar, and Spring cleaning time is here. Many homes are al, ready showing the efteet of the general cleanup fever. Usually at this time of year there is a general campaign for cleanup but this year the campaign has not gather- ed its usual momentum. However, many thousands of home owners are proceeding with their own plans because their neighbors have al- ready started. The contagion spreads and we see street after street, home after home, store after store, using the paint brush etfets tively, and employing the carpenr ter. New blinds and curtains go up, new furniture is carried in, the decorators are called in, and land- scape gardeners are in demand. Last but not least, the garbage col- lectors are called to remove all re- fuse. So within the circle, money circulates more freely and employ- men}: is created for many out of war . Another feature of the cleanup is the creation of a healthier and more sanitary environment. I more attractive outlook for those at home, in the office and factory.

It is said that this year’s tourist trade from the United States into Canada will be the heaviest in years. It means that thousands of U.S. tourists will visit this part of the country and with the extra ex- change they will have a. lot of money to spend. Tourist traffic to the Continent is cut off, therefore it is expected that millions of Unit- ed States dollars will be spent in Canada. Tourists can be attracted by snappy, colorful store front, at- tractive lighting effects and win. dow displays, and the desire to buy created. Cleanup and repovation of store fronts at this time would therefore seem a good idea, and 'a considerable increase in trade should result. If all our merchants and home owners will plan, during the next two weeks, to cleanup, paintup and beautify their homes and stores, our district will become one of the most attractive which tourists can visit, as well as being one of the healthiest. hm't such an effort worth while?

His car took fire, when, apparently, gasoline was thrown from the engine on a hot exhaust pipe, and, as Hodgson brought the car to a stop, flames shot from beneath the hood. Hodgson scraped loose gravel from the roadside and managed to check the flames until a passing trucker quenched the blaze with__a fire extinguisher.

PERSONALS i WOODBRIDGE Little-Johns fire, when, was thrown hot exhaust brqught the Beginning on Saturday, May 11th, the Annual Campaign of Weston Branch of Victorian Order of Nurses for contributions and memberships got under way. The town has been subdivided into five districts in addition to that section of York and Etobicoke Townships served by this Branch and a cap- tain has been appointed for each of the seven districts. The. captains in turn are supported by a number of ladies in each district who dur- ing the period of the campaign will make a house to house canvas. These ladies ha've voluntarily as- sumed this duty fully realizing the value and importance of the work the Victorian Order is performing in our midst. Ten years are passed and gone since the V.O.N. was established in Weston. During that period the nurses in charge have made 24,155 nursing visits. Not only nursing the sick wherever required, but teaching families how to nurse the patient themselves between visits of the nurse, encouraging them to bravely meet the great crises of life, finding the suspect of any communicable disease case, and en- deavoring to teach methods of pre- vention of disease. This service will surely commend itself to every thoughtful, considerate person in our midst, when it is recalled that 57 per cent of the nurse's visits last year were made to patients who were unable to pay any part of the charge and who, but for the Victorian Order would have been without proper nursing care of any kind. Exactly the same care is given irrespective of the amount of re- muneration received. It is of course the nurse's responsibility to collect where possible the full cost of each visit. This equality of ser- vice, within the organization, to rich and poor alike, is a nice example of social justice. Public co-operation in this work is definitely necessary of course, so this appeal to meet the chal- lenge at this time is made. It is only by unselfish sacrifice that this world is made a brighter place for others. The underlying philosophy of the Victorian Order of Nurses is expressed in its objectives. The Order exists to give a visiting nursing service to patients with any type of illness and in any class of society. The objective of the V.O.N. is simply "The promotion of health and prevention of disease". Such a work is surely worthy of your support, be it much or little, to heal the sick and protect the weak.
