To The Eskimo Missionary Returned From Far North After Eleven Years Tells of Native Views Eskimos far up in the Arctic on the Melville Peninsula have been having a pretty hard time trying to understand the present war In Europe, according to Father Steph. en Bazin, 37-year-old Oblate miss. fonary. Father Bazin who has spent the last 11 years in the Far North without visiting civilization is at present In Montreal undergoing ,. medical treatment. ANGER IS A CRIME He said that the Eskimos could not imagine people booming angry enovgh to fight and the only way in which the situation could be ex- plained was to tell them that the war came about because "one peo- ple tried to stoal another's pro- perty. 1 told them that one peo- ple--Germany--tried to steal Po- land and that Britain and France tried to stop the theft and had to fight Germany." Although the Eskimos now real. jze that there iz a war going on _ they still think it is strange. He said that anger to an Eskimo is a grave crime, Although he has not "been out" since 1929, Father Bazin {s anx{ ous to return. He is not "greatly attracted to civilization. I hope to be able to start back to the Arctic by next July," he said. CHANGES SEEN IN CIVILIZATION His missioprWhich is at Igloolik, 1,000° miles north of Churchill, serves 350 Eskimos spread over an area of altkost 400 miles. Discussifig changes that had come abou since he entered the Far North) Father Bazin said: "Traffic moles terribly fast now. When 1 was in Winnipeg last week I walked about but was afrald to cross the street; the autemobiles move so fast. Their shapes have changed since 1 last saw them." "Clothes have licen altered too," he sald. North TF Auericn's Pneumonia Belts Until the diveonery and general use of sulphanilamide and its de- rivatives, pneumonia was known as the fourth largest killer of the pop- ulation of this continent, says the " Toronto Dally Star. About 30,000 "Canadiang annually became 111 with pneumonia, and one. out of four usually died of it. With the aid of the new anti-pneumonia drug nine out of ten lives can now ho saved. A person who is stricken with pneu- monia has practically from 75 to 80 per cent better chances of re- covery than formerly, and the mor- tality rates from pnoumonia were last year reduced by two-thirds {n the hospitals. ONTARIO IS IN ONE But while the fatality of pneu: monia has been reduced, the prob- lem of jts prevention still remains, And In some areas the struggle with thls disease appears to be more severe than in others, for there are certain regions which have be- come known as the "pneumonia belts." A study published a fow years ago by the Metropolitan Lite "Insurance Company Indicated that there are on this continent two clear-cut pneumonia belts. One Is in the east, beginning with the Can- adlan province of Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Now Brunswick, and along the At, lantlc coast all but four states have above-average pneumonia rates. The second pneumonia belt consists of the four' states in the region, vlz.,, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada. PRAIRIES ARE SAFER A point that will surprise most people is that neither latitude nor a cold climate have any relation to the pneumonia rate. The provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and South Dakota are safer, from pneumonia, than are South Carolina, Georgla and Arizona, which have warmer It appears that the.com- bination of a cold climate and low average humidity, as is found fn Alberta, Saskatchewan and a num- ber of American states, operates In favor of a low pneumonia dence.

Animals' bodies already have been made immune to poisons and to disease germs _in experiments in which they were subjected to low tem- peratures for long periods. PUPP HAVE - | YOU HEARD? A man telephoned a hardware store to order a scythe, "Size?" asked the assistant who took the telephone call. "Not size," the man replied. "Scythe." "Yes, yes, I can hear you," said the salesman "What size?" "No, no, no," the customer yelled. "Not size, but scythe -- SCYTHE. You know what a scythe is, don't you? A grass cutter."

Deficiency Of Razor Blades Just as the female of the Brit- ish species is having to give up silk stockings so the male may be compelled to grow a beard for lack of razor blades before this war has gone on many more months. This is just one of the many little sacrifices which keep accu- mulating day by day as the Brit. + ish democracy in the fight for its life, is obliged to adopt totali- tarian methods to save its war sinews and regulate the daily habits of the taxpayer. Each day the screw little tighter. ties, shortages of certain popu- lar brands of cigarettes and to- bacco have recently occurred. The tobacco controller annouunc- ed that there was no shortuge of that commodity in the country and that: the stocks were sufficient to last a-long time to come. He appealed to smokers not to make the situation worse by trying to hoard. He . blamed "temporary trans. port and other interruptions, re- sulting in some disturbance to the normal channels of distribu. tion" for the temporary shortage in certain areas.
