eggs eggs have been an important food product in every one of the major civilizations our ancestors knew nothing of vitamins as they prowled through the jungle but they realized early that eggs had something that was good for them today we think of birds only as producers of eggs but in many parts of the world reptiles lay eggs the same as birds in the early days man risked his life to gather these eggs because eggs from domestic fowl were not yet known to get fresh eggs man in the past would risk horned rhin oceros sabertoothed tigers and the ferocious and flesheating reptiles today man takes eggs for granted from where i sit i can vision a modified re turn of the hunting for eggs with the great reduc tion in poultry population in our country a great reduction in eggs will likely take place early this fall the housewife who always expects to buy a dozen fresh eggs just when she wants them at a reasonable price may have to start hunting for them it costs more when you have to hunt she wont like it but what else can she do if there are not enough to go around it would be rather nice to have eggs to sell this coming fall in fact it should be very profitable to sell eggs i know for a fact that a great many farmers who usually have large flocks have none now the ones who have in my opinion will be sitting pretty if you have a brooder house empty j why not act fast and cash in on agood market we have just shy ted 1500 lovely pullets these will be sold to the first man who comes along he will be lucky for he will have pullets already started on the road to profitable

949 urgent appeal is made for wholehearted public and personal cooperation to cut traffic losses in 1950 in deaths and injuries on ontario streets and highways 1949 proved to be the worst year in the history of the province despite the lact that the intensive and maintained campaign for safety by the department received generous support and cooperation of the press the radio the schools the police many service clubs safety organizations the operators and drivers of commercial vehicles and many thousands of citizens the toll of tragedy reached an alltime high here is the 1949 record motor vehicles registered in ontario 969368 tourist vehicles recorded 4900000 persons killed 830 persons injured 17469 property damage 9531659 the picture in 1950 in 1950 there will be in operation on ontario highways one million motor vehicles owned by ontario residents there will be mora tourist vehicles in the province than ever before traffic will be much heavier and more chances of accidents will exist estimated motor vehicles in 1950 1050000 estimated drivers licenses in 1950 1350000 estimated tourist vehicles in 1950 5000000 unless the ontario public takes this problem of highway safety seriously to heart and everyone sets out to cut down this mounting scale of accidents it is possible that in 1950 the death toll may reach a new shocking figure with the number of persons injured keeping pace ith these facts in view it behooves every man and woman young and old to make it a personal objective to establish and maintain safety and to preach it at all times to schools families drivers and acquaintances the department of highways is devoting all its energies to a continuous planned attack on accidents the earnest teamwork of all citizens and organizations is re quested it is a common cause that all of us can aid for the general good geo h doucett mirjster of hianwayj jean mcgillis rosycheeked husky and essentially feminine despite her winter garb of skislacks and high boots has one of the biggest jobs in canada when considered in terms of territory jean mcgillis rn is district nurse of the society for crippled children in northern ontario with the task of caring for the crippled children in an area that extends from latchford on the south to hearst on the west the quebec border on the east and the pole at the north she hasnt been that far north yet but she has toured the james bay district and plans a coastal trip with federal govern ment officials this summer by air to visit crippled youngsters of whom she has heard this organ ization is putting on a drive for funds through the stouffville lions club a combination of practical nurse trained therapist qualified teacher of homeadministered treatment and lecturer and afterdinner speaker jean mcgillis is typical of the highlyskilled young women who represent the society through out ontario in her district she has been pioneering for the last year or so previously it had not come within the organized scope of the societys program to describe briefly her first years efforts also describes what a district nurse for the society doesthroughout northern ontario as in old ontario there are service clubs whose members are interest ed in helping treat and if possible establish as selfdependent young sters who are crippled the clubs to the limit of their resources finance the treatment of such youngsters supplemented when necessary by funds from the central organization of the society miss mcgillis went into the north to first ascertain the number of children and their needs she visited the service clubs allied with the society talked to doctors and public health nurses about child ren needing attention wrote to every schoolteacher because often children in isolated areas are neverdiscovered cases who could be reestablished by treatment or operation then she toured her district brought many children to the attention of local physicians for diagnosis was given details of others by these physicians who knew their charges needed special ized attention then miss mcgillis arranged clinics at strategic centres by plane she flew with a team of specialists from the hospital for sick children to these points at kapuskasing for instance 85 children were brought together at timmins another 125 were seen similarly at cochrane and kirk- land lake other groups were examined their conditions diag nosed and local or specialized treatment was prescribed local doctors talked with the specialists out of this came a flow of child ren to the famous hospital in tor onto or to other centres where suitable treatment was available others went into local hospitals or made arrangements for medical attention at home then miss mc gillis began a special yearround phase of her work the teaching of mothers as to how therapy can be done at home to maintain the pro gress launched by the medical and surgical corrections into back woods clearings she penetrated hundreds of miles she travelled by motor car because ontarios de partment of health confers on her the recognized title of orthpaedic consultant she obtains special opportunity to travel by public transportation system anywhere in her area to reach her little patients it was because of this that she was able to go into moose factory last fall and survey that area on the island alone where the tiny outpost hospital stands she found 10 badly crippled children many of them the horrible congenital types such as dislocated hips such conditions can be corrected by treatment otherwise the cripples are almost helpless for life at the hospital she heard of other eases all up the coast of james bay through the cooperation of tlie department of indian affairs which takes a great interest in her work she will travel this year with a department medical representa tive and see these eases thus the program of the society is implemented not only in the north but all over ontario where its district nurses collaborate with local physicians public health nurses medical health officers school boards and other author ities who form important links in the process of making handicapped children selfsupporting more than 150 local service clubs in the prov ince sponsor the efforts for child ren in their own areas aided by the society which organizes the work provides the specialized services and maintains the
