Letter Received Expresses Il.M.(luccn Mary's Appreciation

The following letter bu been received by the Secretary of the Queen Mary Needlework Guild:

MARLBOROUGH HOUSE,

Dear Mn. Colh :-

Quun Mary ll deeply touched that the Charlottetown Branch of the Queen Mary Needlework Guild should have sent her A cheque for E9 (825.00), towards the Flood Re- lief Fund.

The cheque ha: been forwarded to the Lord Mayor and you will in due course get a formal receipt from him. Will you convey to all the kind subscribers, Queen Mary's grateful thanks for their gener-

uslty, which Her Majesty very much appreciates. The Queen was interested to

hear of the annual meeting and hopes that the sewing party at Government House was a pleasant gathering. It is really wonderful that the Guild is ready to under- take so much work.

You will I know be concerned about Queen Mary's health. Her Majesty is better and able to spend some hours each day in her sitting room, which is a real step.

With kind regards. i

Yours very sincerely, Constance Milne: Gaskill. Lady-in-Waiting. March 12, 1953.

THE PARALYZED PATIENT snoum RECEIVE SYMl'ATll- ETIC ATTENTTION AND TREATMENT

I have written before of visit-

er'ans' hospital who had slllferm !a coronary thrombosis. The super- intendent. maklng a vlslt to patients, informed my friend not to worry about his ”coromlry" as he himself had had five or six, that he went to bed for 3. month each time, then got. up and carried on With hi5 hospital work as usual.

While it is true that patients sul- fering a coronary thrombosis (heart stroke) may have a num- ber of attacks and carry on useful lives between attacks. yet when the same condition strikes the brain and a brain stroke occurs tupop- lexy). the patient is usually not en- couraged to get up and try 10 1159 his body and brain as with coron- ary thrombosis.

In Medical Press, Great Britain. Dr. Margery W. Warren states that the majority of patients who sur- vive an attack of apopexy with re- sultant paralysis can be helped by treatment and such patients pre- sent one of the most interesting: medical conditions. The paralyzed patient. is one who is severely handicapped physically and ls greatly upset mentally so that he needs treatment under as ideal conditions as possible and in A sympathetic, stimulating and opti- mistic atmosphere. It. is a com- ion mstake that the hemiplegla (paralyzed) patient needs rest and quieiing drugs-in fact what. he really needs is encouragement to help himself. advice on his rc- education, exercise in standing and later in walking. and as little seda- tive (quieting drugs) as pomible.

"Neglected and untreated heml- plegics almost always develop stiff- ness of the affected shoulder and other joints and therefore present later a much more difficult prob- lem of rehabilitation."

The right-sided hemlplegic fre

quently sustain: a. degree of aph- asia (loss of speech) and this adds very greatly to his feeling of utter frustration. When he can't talk or be understood by others. he must be carefully and intelligently treated. Recovery of speech. even if only partial, greatly raises the morale of the patient. - "Those caring for such patients should be advised to frame their questions in such 3 way that the patient can answer by a simple 'Yes' or 'No'."

An important point for physician and family to remember is that hemlplegia. (one-sided paralysis) may result from a. number of con- ditions including 1: piece of tissue which has been carried from a tumor or growth from lower bowel or elsewhere. "Every hemlpleglc patient. should therefore be fully examined and sdequately investi- gated before treatment in given."

Q. What. do you think about women going hatleas?

A. Despite the increasing prac- tice of younger women to go but- less on all occasions, but taste still requires that in town c. hat be worn with street. clothes in the daytime.

Q. When I college girl warm 3 man's frntemity pin, does this im- ply that she is engaged to him? '

A. You. While this ll not always true, the implication in there.

A. No. It in better to say, "Mr. Wallace, this is Mr. Edwards."

Many Ways In Which Woman Can Afiraci Friends

DEAR MISS DIX: I am approaching thirty and see no future ahead as I seeynothlng accomplished in the past.

For Tomorrow

WHILE there seems to be den- nlte incentive for hard work with consideration of the routine and customary vacations for a pront- able week end, there is a chance of normal returns and expectations miscarrying because of poor Judg- ment. erroneous ideas, or perhaps childish or immature impulses. In such a crisis. the young and inex- perienced might proflt by con- ferring with elders. superiors or established institutions.

For the Birthdny

Those whose birthday it is may anticipate a year in which certain plans and projects may come up for wise decision. with careful con- aideratlon for the co-operation of. elders or those in authority. The stuntlon seems to challenge sound judgment, although the inclin- ation may be to take long chances, even to stretch the tr-uth, or other- wise tamper with integrity and honor: Refrain from reckless de- cisions, in commitments in busi- ness or pl-ofusional propositions.

A child born on this day. while clever, serious and ambitious, may be prone to flash Judgments, to its detriment.

Beware of eye-Appeal! nncv wrapper: and container: mly be equal or even surpals the coat of the actual food itself! No onewnnt: to return to the "Cracker Barrel" type of food merchandising, hm are we heading for the oppositu extreme. when. because of our ud- mitted weakness of buying by eyg. appeal. the glamor package; for fruit and vegetables have gond beyond their practical and econ- omic value in relation to food purchased?

The bacon in the nu-iped .pnper is still with us and it pays to have the package opened before you buy, unless you like to be fooled into thinking you are getting me: lean bacon when really more often than not it is fatter than you would ever have bought if it had been in a plain wrapper. The same may be said of the tomatoes done up in those attractive little package: -don't hesitate to open the box and make sure there isn't 1 Apoll- ed or spoiling one in the lot be- fore you take it home.

I was interested in an article in "Saturday Night." same month: ago written by Mr. J. William Hor- sey, President of Dominion stores. Ltd. It was headed "Cost of Frills" ' and among other things it acid: "on the average,-of every dollar the consumer pays for packaged or processed goods, 50 cents are consumed by the cost of distri- bution and only 4.1 cents by the cost of production." "Think of lt!' said Mr. Horsey. "Out of every dollar, you pay 59 cents for tin privilege of picking an article u! where you want it and in a chap: or form you wish it to be delivered or handed to you." (end of quote.)

It is really frightening. isn't it the standard of living we no set- ting up for ourselves? All the men reason why we should learn to In more intelligent shoppers, And that is just what. the Canadian Aa- sociation of Consumers is trying to help us to be.

The names of the grade: on our canned goods, for lnstnnco In very confusing. By act of Pulls- ment. the highest grade of Cam- diall can'ned gnoda is labelled "Farley." then we have "Choice." "Standard," Ind "cub-otandud." and above these we lomctimu find a can of fruit marked "lam-I Ful- cy," generally on I can of pineal? pie or some such luxury from An outside country. but nevertheleu on our shelves. Personally I Hit! the name "Choice" more than I do "Fancy," and feel it should not b0 on anything but the heat. C.
