MODERN APARTMENT

Officials and press representa- tives w-ere given a preview of a typical S-room apartment in the modern apartment development now well-advanced in the Town- ship of Dorval.

The model apartment is now open to the pu-blic from l0 a.m. to 8 om. daily except Sundays.

The Dorval Garden Apartments. owned and managed by Industrial Enterprises Corporation, introduce an entirelv new conception in ntodern living accommodations. They boast “city living in coun- trv atmosphere." They are situat- ed on beautiful Lake St. Louis. and onlv 20 minutes from the heart of the city.

An interesting feature about the buildings is the many modern iii- novatinns. the result of extensive research and travel by the pro- lmoters. In addition to the 2. 4. 5 and B-room apartments designed to lsuit families of varvinc sizes. -there are such unusual features as central recreation rooms for all ages nlus indoor and outdoor facili- ties for safqchildren‘: play, elec- tric laundry and drying rooms are

CONSTITUTIONAL DISEASES

In former years, a; medical students, We studied infectious diseases such as typhoid fever. di-Flitheriﬂ. malaria. and others Caused by invading organisms, but the medical student and physician today. because infections are under BOFRTOI. are more interested in dis-

eases arising from within the body; that is_ constitutional dis- E8525.

In “Health Bulletin for Teach-

ers" published by the Metropoli- tan Insurance Company, we read that constitutional diseases are those which are thought of as n-atlve to the body in contradic- tion to the infections which are caused by invasion of the body from the outside. The body itself. however, is not entirely to blame for constitutional diseases. as in most: cases they develcip from in- juries and wear and tear on the body over many years. As it takes years for this wear and tear to damage the body tissues. . these diseases ﬁrst appear at middle age and beyond.

The three outstanding diseases of middle age and beyond are dis- eases of the heart and blood ves- sels. and cancer.

“The most important causes of diseases of the heart and bloocl vessels are rheumatic fever. high blood pressure, and hardening of the arteries. Rheumatic fever is responsible for most of the heart disease before age of 40. the (muse of which is now believed to be re- posted infections of the nose and throat due to streptococcal infec- tions." Due to this knowledge, phy- siciais now prescribe penicillin or sulfa, drugs to susceptible child- ren in order to try to prevent re- current attacks oif rheumatic fever.

In regard to high blood pressure. it is now known that in addition to infections, emotional disturb- ances tense or tighten blood ves- sels and so increase the blood pres- sure. Gctting rid o! or preventing infection together with acquiring calmness of spirit prevents many cases of high blood pressure.

The search still goes on all over the world for the cause of can- cer. In-the meantime. if signs of cancer are discovered early, the present treatment. by radium, X- ray. and surgery will save life or prolong it for many years.

An annual checkup by physician and dentist la the best method of controlling constitutional diseases.

We ilaveI Social Duty To Perform

By I‘. B. MacArthur "Man in society is like a flower Blown in its native bed, "ris there alone His faculties expand in tull bloom, Shine out, then only reach their proper use."

Too many of us fail to get hold of the ides that we are members of society. Too often we take it for granted that the social machinery of the world is self-operated. Young people cast their first vote with a feeling of pride, perhaps, but are al- inosi; sure to pay their first tax with loud lnmentations. Although we are a part of society, yet. many take no interest and little thougiht’. as to bow society functions. While this condition exists we never will hﬂVI good government. brie DFOKFeSSlYQ and healthy society. The "let: George do it” attitude too often results in poor workmanship and slipshod methods.

It. seems to me that our schools and colleges have failed to put. enough emphasis on the word "society," what it means and how it should be organized to insure the highest degree of perfection. Unless youth can be carefully in- structed in these tnntters o! which I speak, how is society going to step forward in the right direct-

ion? O

If we as individuals fall to as- suime our full share o! social ra- sponslbilltles, then we ought not to place the blame for society's shortcomings upon the shoulders of others. Society, ns it is called. is for more n/pt to pay its dues to the individual than the individual to society. Don't whine over the fact that all is not as it should be especially it you have clone nothing yourself to make the world a. bet- t.er place in which to live. In other words, in return for that. whirlh you wish society to do for you, what can you do to help society? llow can we expect to he a beneficiary of society" receiving favours yet conferring none?

If we contribute noiihlizg to ad- vance the cause o! a. better social state, then society, as such owes us nothing. Christian philanthropy may put its anms around us, coddle us; but when it, comes to such a pass we are almost sure to find ourselves out on a limb.

.

Don't. permit yourself to lapse into a morbid state of mind. If you do, then you'll be heading in the wrong direction, and all social intercourse will become iiiksome. Scme folks go to o. party as if they were being dragged oft to jail. We ought not to shun the company. of others, even it they do not see eye to eye with us. Olt- on such persons will prove them- selves to be our best friends. Be- cause anotiher seems uncongenlal to us. we have no right to shu l him. We become charitable and broad- mlndcd by knowing lots of people.

Remember that the good Lord has introduced into human char- acter infinite variety, and for any- one to say he dc-es not love another and will not associate with him because he is so different is not, only foolish, but; wrong. No two persons in iihe world arc exactly alike. and this difference in in- diividuals is what makes them in- teresting. What a funny group we would he if we were all as like as peas in a pod!

Do what you have to do in the

best way that you know how. Ea honest with yourself and with others, conceding to every man

the privilege which you claim for yourself. The better mixer you be- come, the less you will be disposed to quarrel. and the more charita- ble and understanding you will be- come. The fact that we do not un- derstand another is quite as likely to be our fn/ult as his. So I say: try to meet every man and woman honestly; seek the best that is in human character and forglie the sins in others as you hope to be forgiven yourself. O O

We can have little influence ov- er others unless we learn to be sociable. It is through social con- tact that all good things a-e achieved. Remember that society takes revenge on tlhe man of wom- an who hides away from the world. The pride which sits alone will have the privilege of sitting alone in its sublime disgust till it drops into tlho gmve.

We cannot move men until we become one of them. The? Will "05 follow us unless they have shaken our hands and heard our voices, lggfngd our sympathies and princi- ples. It. matters not how much You know, or how much you are cap- ubld of doing; l! you are not in good standing with the so-cailed "social order." you rob you!!!"

and others of many blessings.
