Lewis, who is now defying the highest authority in the land, our boasted system of democracy will have reached a new low: In fact, it will scarcely be worthy of the name. A showdown is called for next Monday when Lewis is to appear before a U.S. federal Court to answer a charge of contempt Terliting from the calling of the strike of coal i Average Per Issue FOR OCTOBER miners in de e of a Government order. Our hope is that the U.S. government will make Lewis | understand that he, like all other citizens, is subject to the | law of the land. Our fear is that it will not do so. The] background of relations between the U.S. government and the | coal miners' chief is not encouraging. 2 Canada has a very definite interest in the result as the | operation of our plants and the warmth of our homes is] largely dependent 'upon the supply of fuel from American mines. . " Entertain Your Son Addressing the St. James Literacy Society in Montreal | recently, Col. C. G. M. Grier, headmaster of Bishops College School, voiced sentiments which are well worthy of serious consideration by.every father who is interested in the de- velopment of his children along the proper lines. Col. Grier voiced the opinion that the boy of 1946 is no worse or more difficult than the boy of 1926 or 1896, but the world about him is more fully charged with evil than it had been in the past. As a remedy he suggested that fathers cut down on their golf, their bridge, poker and curling and entertain their sons and their friends. He advised the set- ting up of workshops in family basements and bringing boys in off the streets at a reasonable hour. The speaker was strongly in favor of the strengthening of home ties and advised that radios be replaced by gramo- phones and better records. 'He would buy books rather than | theatre tickets and encourage the boy to play games and | teach him that sportsmanship is 'more to be desired than spectatorship. . School Lunch Program The school lunch program can be a valuable part of the school curriculum, This was shown by the results of a dem- onstration to prove the effect of such a program during the | school year 1945-46 by the Ontario Division Canadian Red | Cross Society. The Nutrition Survey Team from the De- | partment of National Health and Welfare examined the chil- | dren at the beginning-and end of the demonstration period. | | The program was carried out under the auspices of the Jun- | ior Red Cross Branch in the selected school. Under the direc- | tion of the public health nurse, the children kept records of | their height and weight. They assisted in the preparation | and serving of their meal and took part in other activities re- | lated to the lunch program. The results !of this demonstration on the health value of the school lunch are significant, The most outstanding result was in the weight gains which showed an average of 8 pounds as compared with 3.6 pounds in a school where no lunch was served. There were fewer colds and other common infections. The school meal seems to have helped the chil- dren to maintain a better nutritional status than would otherwise have been the case. The children appeared bright- er, more lively and more interested in school work and school activities. Absenteeism was less than the year previous. There was a noticeable improvement in food habits during the demonstration period because the children learned to like foods which they previously would not eat or which they did not have at home. Vegetables, raw and cooked, were great favourites. In addition to its effect on the health and general well- being of the children, the school lunch program provided many opportunities for purposeful learning. The school les- sons became more interesting when related to the school' lunch program, The children gained practical knowledge in cooking, dishwashing, table setting and other everyday tasks. They put into practice the Junior Red Cross health rules, By improving the health and general well-being of the children and by affording opportunities for purposeful learn- ing, a school lunch program is the community's gain, tA © . .

'We received a parcel from you | the other day, and believe me it was a god-send, We had nothing for dinner but bread and margarine, and you ought to have seen us when the parcel arrved. We pounc- ed at once on the cheese, and then we had chocolate as dessert, I feel so sorry for the kids--their appeti- tes are enormous, partly due I think, to the fact that the food we are getting is not nourishing enough. Quite often they are restless at night and can't sleep because they are hungry. What we'd do without your parcels I just don't know. 'We have to consume a great many potatoes, which are served for every meal including breakfast. However, on some days there are not even potatoes to be had, The other day we had fish (which we ave sick of now) and wanted a change from the usual boiling, but had no fat to cook with, so had to use liquid paraffin (Russian oil) as a substitute. No potatoes that day either, so had to put up wih dry bread. 'I had to pay twenty-two shillings for a small saucepan recently, but I just had to have one, as our uten- sils are all worn out and during the war could not be secured at all, Ev- erything is so expensive here now that you really wouldn't believe it unless you were over on this side. This is going to be the hardest Christmas and winter of all, and by the looks of things there is not much hope of getting ingredients for a Christmas pudding." In view of such grumbling to be heard locally, and at large, a letter such as the above should make many of ys feel rather humiliated. Yours faithfully, RAYMOND MARTIN 233 Athol Sireet East, Oshawa, Ont, November 22, 1946. oe AN OPEN LETTER TO NEXT OF KIN OF VETERANS IN PICKERING TOWNSHIP Dear Friends: As' the Christmas £ 7son draws =e our thoughts rn to the ¢ ren, especially the children whose Daddy did not come home for Christmas, and who will not be here for any more Christ- mas'. Also the shut-ins, the vet- erans in hospital and those con- fined to their beds at home through sickness or after effects of service to their country, If you know of any such children and sick veterans in Pickering and anywhere in Pickering Township, will you please contact the Ladies' Auxiliary, Canadian Legion, BES.L, Ajax, as soon as possible, giving name, rank, branch of service, and address. In the case of children, please give name and age too. If this is done we will make sute that Santa Claus pays his regular visit this year, Yours sincerely, Grace M. Mills, Pres.

Along {he horizon's faded shrunken » nes, Velling the gloomy borders of the night, Hung the great snow-clouds washed with pallid gold; And stealing from his covert in the pin es, The wind, encouraged to a stinging gat, Dropped in the hollow conquered by the cold, Then a light cloud rose up for hardi- Training a veil of snow that whirled an: roke, Blown softly like a shroud of steam or smoke. Sallled across a 'knoll where maples stood, Charged over broken country for a rood, Then seeing the night, withdrew his force and ' Leaving the ground with snow flakes thinly spread, And traces of the skirmish in the wood, o Other Editors ON A PASSENGER-MILE BASIS Financial Post When you see a man calmly read- ing a newspaper in an airline wait- ing room and you see the headline of his paper shouting "11 Die in Air Crash," it makes you stop and thing. The violence of air-crash death makes big news, and it comes to the headlines from all over the world, from California and Newfoundland ance the Azores. Big names travel by air and so big names are killed and add weight to headlines, : But people still read calmly of such ac- cidents as they wait for their own flight confirmation. Airline traffic in Canada hit an all-time high in June of this year, the last month for which statistics are complete. Passengeer-miles flown across the country that month climbed to 17,~ Perhaps that term "passenger- miles" is the clue. Air crashes make bigger news because they kill a dozen or two at a time; but the single and double deaths by auto- mobile, bus motorcycle, bicycle, boats large and small, trains and Just plain walking add up too. Per passenger-mile, the airlines might not reckon so badly beside other travel ways. People taking to the skyway on 1 responsible airlines know they are | about as safe crossing a continent | by air as crossing a busy street on foot. They know that manufactur- "Guiding Light" ~Shoemaker in the Chicago Daily News ers of aircraft, government agencies charged with licensing commercial planes, and operators do their sup- erlative best to keep 'em flying-- safely. Recently Lord Knollys, chairman of British Overseas Airways Corp. outlined the training, maintenance end experience required of BOAC personnel to show "how a properly orgaized airline 'can reduce to a minimum those causes of accidents which lie within its sphere." On Lord Knollys' testimony, 'virtually everything except what the insur- ance companies write off as "acts of God" is anticipated and warded off. oA Bible Thought Thus saith the Lord God, "Be- hold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious corner Stone. (Isa. 28:16.) Christ is a Jewel so matchless that the whole universe is but a setting for Him. "Let a man be what he may, he is still to be loved because God is love."--John Calvin. "And this commandment have we from him, "That he who loveth God love his brother also.' " (1 John 4:21). ® 50 Years Ago The Oshawa Division of the Sons of Temperance celebrated its 48th Anniversary in the Town Hall when Edward Carswell, a charter member and a life-long temperance advocate, gave a synopsis of the Division's History.
