Phone 703, All Departments Minister of Health Gives Address At Rotary Ladies Night & * The guest speaker at last night's annual Ladies Night banquet of the Whitby Rotary Club was the Honorable Russell T. Kelly, Pro- vincial Minister of Health, Mr. Kel- ly addressed the Rotarians and their wives on problems confront- ing provincial health officials and suggested various ways in which communicable diseases could be prevented or held at a minimum. Rotary President Vernon Rowe presided during the dinner meet- ing, which was held at the Onta- rio Hospital here, and Dr. D. R. Fletcher, Superintendent of the Hospital, introduced Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kelly told the audience that there was no apparent reason why many people lose their reason and that at present his department was striving to do more preventative work to forstall admittance to men- tal hospitals. Many young children could at- tribute their mental deficiencies to mealtime discord between the parents as well as discord in the home at other times, according to the speaker. "The mealtime and home life of children should be a eriod of happiness and enjoyment" e said. Mr. Kelly also mentioned the work being done among the para- plegics in the Province as well as that done for the children with sick minds. He mentioned that tuberculosis was still a dreaded disease but that it was not necessarily fatal any more. "However," he pointed out, "Tuberculosis is still a very contagious disease and everything must be done to stamp it out." Mr. Kelly said that several cases of tuberculosis were not in proper hospitals at the present time be- cause of the lack of nurses. Speaking of cancer, which he re- ferred to as highly dangersus, Mr. Kelly said that the best course to follow when any unaccounted swelling occurred was to see a doc- tor immediately, This was also recommended by the speaker in the event that anything occurred tat was out of the ordinary and in anyway unusual. The speaker also listed three rules to follow in attempting to avoid possible polio infection. He said that children should be kept away from all large crowds during an epidemic, should not become overtired and should wash all raw fruit before eating it. : Mr, Kelly mentioned the num. ber of untimely deaths caused throughout the Province each year by drowning and he suggested that this was partly due to the fact that not enough swimming instruc- tion was being given to children. He praised the work being done by the Canadian Red Cross Society and the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. in this type of work. In conclusion Mr. Kelly listed eight sound rules to follow if de- sirous of keeping in good health. of brown bread and milk; pay at- 'tentidn to correct posture; take short breaths after all meals; See a doctor regularly whether ill or not; Take care of the teeth! take care of the eyes; always do a good deed every day which will be to some other persons benefit; always look on the bright side of things.

Following the address the Rota- rians and guests present were in- vited to make use of the facilities offered by the Hospital recreation hall and a social hour was enjoyed by all present.

PHONE 2243 Famous Toronto Pair To Present Concert At Ladies College o- <> The music lovers of Whitby will be 'interested in knowing that the distinguished violinist, Geza de Kresz and his equally famous wife, Norah Drewett, pianist, will be at the Ontario Ladies' College on Fri- day, February 20, at 8 p.m. Amonz the ensemble players be. fore the puklic teday Norah Drewitt | and Geza de Kresz have been to. gether probably the longest without a break. Both are distinguished so. loists from early youth, they have had since their marriage extensive concert careers playing with great orchestras under leading conductors | such as Richard Strauss, Frit? Busch, Henry J. Wood and with many more of the greatest conduc- Ors. Both have had highly noted car. eers as soloists in Europe playing in most of the centres of musical cul. ture over and over again. They have given duo.recitals in such musical centres as London, New York, Vi- enna, Berlin, Salzburg and Buda. pest on repeated occasions. Norah Drewitt's and Geza de Kresz's interpretation of the entire Bach, Beethoven and Brahms Son. atas or their pioneer spirit in bring. ing forth new works have equally been commended. During their twelve years. as resi- dents of Toronto, their annual sum- mer tours to Europe, 'occasionally with the Hart House String Quartet, of which Gena de Kresz is a found. ing member, and has been a leader from 1924 to 1935, kept them in touch with the European musical world. Geza de Kresz's musical versatility as a soloist, quartet leader, conduc- tor of Little Symphony in Toronto and later the Chamber-orchestra series of the Budapest National Mu. seum Concerts--the successes of his pupils in Europe, Canada and Uni. ted States, as given his solo play. ing a distinction rarely found in a virtuoso of his rank. His internat- ional standing is recognized by the invitations to the juries of the great international competitions at Gene. va, Switzerland, .'aris and Budapest. His celebrated Peter Guarnerius violin has been his companion throughout his concert life. Norah Drewett has also proven her musically artistic gifts and can be a lucid speaker from the plat. form. Critics like Fuller-Maitland and Ernest Newman in England, whose opinions are so highly valued, said of her "she will leave her mark on time" and "not be forgotten." Max Seintzer in Leipzig wrote: "They are among the aristrocrats of the concert field." The News York Times: "Pheir temperments seemed ideally suited to the requirements of chamber- music." > The Manchester Guardian: "Not ofen has one listened to such rave ishingly pure violin tones."
