The latest edition reflects the great- est credit on its sponsors. No Profit for City As fur as a municipality is concern- ed there Is no profit at all in taking property for taxes. True the city gets Its taxes up to the time it becomes possessed of the property, but after that nearly all ot the property Is even worse than an inactive asset because It Is generally vacant land or undes- irable residential property. After the city gets it there is no taxation rev- enue. The point being argued at Ham- ilton of allowing the owners to have any profit which may bo made is so remote that it is hardly worth bother- ing about. â€" Potorborough Examiner.

As the result of much experimental evidence, tlio Memorandum stales, "it has been shown that cows' milk is the nio.st valuable food known lor tho promotion of growth and hoalth for children."

Adults require milk especially for the sake of It.n calcium and animal pro- tein. â€" Kdinburgh Scotsman. The Shirt Complex Signor Mus.soliMi cannot be blamed for all lhi.4 "shirt" business.

Six years ago tbo first major U.S. t'.ansport line aimoiinced it was add- ing women to its regular crews.

Ceiierally stated, the air-minded young women must till these requlre- nienls if she would don tho pert uni- form of tho stewardess. She must be a graduate registered nurse. Her height must not be more than five feet, four, nor may she weigh morn than 120 pounds. She must not he more than "0 years old. She must have an engaging person- ality, be solicitous of the comfort of others and capable of performing a variety of tasks, from explaining the fundamentals of aerial navigation to helping change a diaper. One of tho air lines operates a school to polish its stewardesses, the classes going into such things as pas- senger pyschology, how lo make air travellers comfortable, serving lunch- es and answering questions about the geography of the routes flown. The stewardess must be a register- ed nurse explains an air line repres- entative "because the Institutionally trained girl has an understanding of discipline and a knowledge of how to deal with the public that is required in the Job ot stewardess." The stewardess may not be "beau- tiiul but dumb." Sho must have sense enough to car- ry her end of almost any convers.a- lion.

Plans to Rule Produce Control Bill for l:.\port and Home Sales Is (jiven First Keadinj;: WELLINGTON, New Zealand - The iirimary products bill, which gives tho New Zealand government full control of all produce for both export and domcs'iic iiiarkeU, passetl the first reading in the House of As- seml'ly last week. The hill also creates a new ministry of marketing and a primary products marl'.clinp department. It is intendcHl to protect the producers of primary products from the effect of lluclua- I ions of tho market prices by enabling the government to acquire ownership of, or control sale and distribution of such products as are iiiteiuled for intcrnsl consumption. But at the beginning of the new scheme will deal with only dairy products and pork, bacoi. and calves. Ituttor and cheese will be dealt with first. Kxport prices for ne.xt season will be fixed on the basis of prices over the last eight to 10 years. A dairy industry account will be opened with the Ueserve Bank with the power to overdraw. The bill provides power for the transfer to the new minister of any powers vested in meat, fruit and other export boards, and adds all freight contracts for exj ort nin.-;l be made by, or approved by Ibc m'n ister Home Field of School Nurse ValiiaMe Asset to Com inunity; Finds Many Hindrances TORONTO â€" Miss Sally Lucaa Jean, health education consultant ot the Department of Indian Affairs, Washington, told a meeting of th» Ontario Educational Association that the trained public health nurse wa» one of the most valuable assets â- community could have, but that sh* was not always allowed to use her; professional ability to the degree her training warranted. Her place, said Miss Jean, was not in the classroom instructing children in health, but rather in the homesi and in the community, serving to cpv ate confidence in scientific health pro- cedures, explaining, persuading and organizing, so that the school physi-j cian's advice might be put into effect. The addition of school luncheon* for the pupils who are not able to get home was another measure urged by Miss Jean. When pupils were abU to bring their own lunches, hot dish- es of some kind, such as cocoa or soup, should bo provided to supple- ment the cold food. Mass meetings of the parents la the schools, clubs and churches were important to the promotion of healthy children, Miss Jean believ- ed. It was only by instilling in the minds of the parents the importance of health rules that the children could be trained along con-ect lines. W. P. Oakes, principal of the Cen- tral School of Commerce, Hamilton, to'.d the meeting that students in hia school were showing groat interest and enthlusiasra in the regular visits of the nurse, which indicated that a new attitude was developing toward health services on the part of the boyi and girls of today.
