'Whithy With a cold south wind blowing over the Parade Square and a Sun lacking the enthusiasm of the spec- tators ranged in comfortable chairs beside the reviewing stand, the Port Perry High School Cadet Corps fell in promptly at 18.80 hours for the annual Ceremonies, The loud strong voice of Regimen- tal Sergeant Major Garnet Warriner issuing orders soon had the corps in proper position, This is where disci« pline. and intensive training asserted itself, It never fails to- impress and amaze this writer how each year Principal Grant MacDonald manages to whip the students into a smooth working Even the awkward squad does well on inspection day. The Public school pupils, who were present, were closely watching the manoeuvre, knowing that next year many of them would be taking the course too. Many fond parents in the gallery were keenly observant, wat- ching Johnny and Mary and hoping the tension would not be too high and they might have to fall out or down. Incidentally the cool weather re- duced the casualty hazard to a mini- mum, Promptly at the appointed hour the reviewing party arrived, consisting of the Inspecting Officer, Major W. J. Rolls, Field Officer of the Ontario Regiment (11th Armoured Regiment) Headquarters, Oshawa, for the Coun- ty of Ontario. He was wearing his dress uniform of blue with wide yel- low stripes on the trousers, blue cap with red band, maroon sash and med- als. He was accompanied by Cap- tain Hutton, Cadet Training Officer of Central Training Command, Oak- ville, wearing regulation Khaki with Medals, Major W. T. Harris, in civili- an dress, who had been the inspect- ing officer at the. Cadets Church Parade in Prince Albert, the Sunday previously, and Mr, and Mrs. William Beare representing the Board of Edu- cation and Mr. Parkinson of the High School Staff. After the party had gone down the j lines they took their places on the reviewing stand for the March Past and the General Salute. This is the supreme moment for the Cadets, girls and boys, short and tall, marching in good order, as the Band counter mar- ched on the square, providing the right beat and good music from the four notes available from the buglers. Those spectators present must have been thrilled at this annual spectacle. Major Rolls, after taking the salute, congratulated the Corps Commander, Cadet Major Floyd James and re- quested the presence of R.S.M. War- riner at the reviewing stand, where he too was congratulated. The programme of demonstrations followed ghowing the accomplishment of the girls and boys in Bren gun drill, first aid; signals, section for- mation, and marksmanship. ; 'The girls in their musical drills as always, were quite interesting and e drills well. executed under the H uidance of Miss Ruby Leask. Officers of the Troop explained the exercises over .the Public Address System, so that the public were kept informed at all times. In his address to the Corps Major Rolls complimented them and named as the best Cadets of the year R.S.M. Garnet Warriner and Cadet Captain Barbara Love. The Band, which he thought was very good last year, was in his opin- ion even better this year. The Band was under the supervision of Mr. John Jefford. Captain Hutton presented the Stra- thcona Shield to last years Corps Commander Cadet Major Paul Peel and the Strathcona chevrons to the officers, The Port Perry High Sthool Cadet Corps has won this efficiency trophy five times in the last nine years in competition with the Corps of central Ontario area, old M.D. 2. Mr. MacDonald then acknowledged their remarks and thanked the Corps for its efforts and co-operation during the rigid training period to prepare for the "Day". Their desire to make a good showing was obvious, Highlights-- .--The Flag Party (colour parties carry battle honours) carrying the Royal Canadian Army Cadet flag presented by the 1.O.D.E, last year and the Union Jask Port Drops 1st Game To: Sunderland 12-2 Monday night, Port Perry ran into the strong Sunderland team. ° Port four innings, then in the fifth Sunder- land came up with' 4 big runs. This was "highlighted by a triple, walk, error, single, pinch hit double by Hogg. But the following inning Port threatened as the first two men got on base, but some good fielding by Milne the shortstop and Taylor the left fielder, saved Holborne, For Sunderland Hogg with 2 hits, Milne with 2, Anderson also had 2, were the main reason for the 12 runs scor- ed by their team, McTaggart, who pitched for Port deserved a better fate as he received poor support on behalf of his team mates. But as this was their first time that they had played together the Port team will be much better next time out. Mec- Taggart had 8 strike-outs while walk- ing four, while Holborne struck out 6 and walked 2. Hartin with a triple; McKee with a double were Port's best hitters.

O. Lynch, presently | ~ intendent at Toronto, as Inspector of | Human nature has varied and cur- ious anomalies, but one of the most puzzling is the attitude of. hospital patients about food. =A sick person at home employs nature's own reactions to food with indifferent abandon. If the © home patient entertains the thought of food at all, remembering that "one must eat to live", it is usually with the time-honoured "tea and toast" routine, with a grimace which indicates that it is doubtful if even that will stay put. But, when the physician sends his patient to hospital, to ensure that he will "live to eat", meals in hospital take on a significance of almost 'spree' proportions. A spate of criticism as long as from here to the post office becomes almost routine, and the pa- tient's reaction to any food served in hospital is that "it doesn't taste good". In that criticism, at least, the pa- tient is sometimes right, but forgotten is the reason for being in hospital The patient is sick, and any sickness has its own peculiar reaction to food. What the patient should remember is that in-this day of modern medicine the food served to the patient is, prim- arily, a definite part of his whole medical treatment. Therapeutic (those having healing qualities) are coming more and more into the treat- ment practices of the medical profes- MRS. CHARLES McLEAN BRESIDENT, ONTARIO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION sion, for medical science in the last decade has been to find in diet the an-|__ swers to many of the puzzling pro- blems of disease and the curative mea- sures for treating them. As in most cases, the patient's criti- cism of hospital food stems primarily from a lack of knowledge of the "Why" and the "wherefores" of his stipulated diet. Perhaps a simple run- down of the many types of diets which must be supplied by hospitals on the physicians order, may help to estab- lish.a better understanding of this age- old and very worrisome problem, In the first instance, there is the general, or full diet, called, usually, the "standard" or unstricted "normal" diet. Next in line is the "light" diet, which means that the meal must be without roughage, and easily digested. The "bland" or "soft" diet is soft and usually without. much flavour, but clearly indicated. for certain illness '| conditions or diseases. "Full fluid" will" include strained thickened soups, milk, fruit juices, and dessert jelly, while "clear fluid" means just that -- broth, consomme, juices, and such, Even the "edentulous" dief in the dietitian's varied list--this for patients without teeth, whose food must be sort of "pre-masticated" in the kitchen grinder or blender. His Excellency, the Right Honor- able Vincent Massey, Governor-Gen- eral of Canada, presents the Calvert Trophy to Mrs. Eleanor Beecroft of the University Alumnae Dramatic Club of Toronto. The Calvert Trophy is awarded annually for the best pre- sentation in the Dominion Drama Festival Finals, along with a cheque for $1,000 donated 'by Calvert's, and was made this year at Sherbrooke, Que., scene of this year's Finals, The winning play was "Teach Me How To Cry", by Patricia Joudry of Toronto. | that the - in 4 The widely diets are and sur- therapeutic physicians bl special used by "| eeons_ who 'have to deal with pidrti- cular illness conditions or disens e. The popularly called "salt free" tually "low sodium' (low salt), since it is impossible to remove all the na- tural salts from foods, but no salt is added in their preparation. The same is true of the "low sugar" and "low fat" diets. Then there is the bland, oi low redisue, dict, the low calorie, the high calorie, the high carbohydrate, the high protein, and the diabetic diets all these, and many others, And over all, there is the combination of two or more of these special diets, all J important to the patient's i, sical" needs, and all prepared at the physi- cians orders. The post-operative patient will grad- ually proceed from "clear fluid" to "full" or normal diet. The obstetrical patient from "light" to "full" diet. [ Patients suffering from high blood pressure are usually placed on a strict "low sodium" diet, just as the diabetic patient ~is carefully served a "low sugar" diet. So the next time you are a patient in hospital, don't blame the dietitian or cook for what may be food" "poor tasting --don't even blame your physi- cian. Rather, blame the. illness that has laid you low, and know that your diet is as carefully planned- as your medical treatment, with a watchful eye to every condition and progress sive step in your recovery. There is much more that could be said about diets and the preparation of food for" hospital patients. The pre- paration and serving of food in any hospital is considered a very important function. Only the best food is pur- chased and the Kitchens ave always very competently supervised, usually by a qualified dietition.
