St. Valentine's Day

For makers of greeting cards bedeckedl with hearts, f0i' florists, bachelors and foot- weary postnien, the coming of spring is marked not by the March equinox but by the 14th of Februai'y five weeks before. The modern St. Valentine's Day is something of an unaccountable tradition, its exact origin obscured in antiquity. The National Geo- grapliic Society can report with confidence that there are towns named Valentine in iNebraska, Texas, Arkansas and Arizona, iiol forgetting a Valentines in Virginia. But there is no such certainty on how ”Wlll- you-be-m,v-Valentine?" came about.

on Valentine's eve, Victorian oncc illllltlltlily tied bay leaves on their pil- ions to induce drcanis of their sweethearts. Tiicy iiiiglil have been shocked to know that the romantic day's history could be trarctl to imperial Rome's pagan festival of Luperi-alia, which was quite un-Victorian and uninhibited in its observance. Celebrat- ed in iiiiti-lVclit'iiai'y, it was a time to in- voke spi-rial gods tor the boon of fertility.

lion did this occasion of pagan revelry give place to the name-day of I Christian saint? And who was Valentine? The an- suer to the first question, many historians believe, is that Cliristianity, after conquer- ing Rome, instituted a mid-February re- ligious feast of its own to combat lingering , pagan beliefs associated with this time of

year.

As to the trite identity of the original patron saint of romance, scholars can only giltN'S, for reliable records are lacking. Of the scven Valentines on the early Christian can-ndar of saints, only two would seem eligible. Both were martyrs and may have died the same day. One was a physician named Valentine, ll preacher of the new

gospel who refused to renounce his faith. Legend has it that bfore he went to his death be cured his jailer's daughter of blindness and sent her a farewell note, end- ing; ”From your Valentine." A second, candidate is Valentine. Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) who is said to have defied an imperial edict by officiating at marriage ceremonies which were banned. He paid with his life, and some authorities say he met death on February 1-1, A.D. 270, along- side the preacher-physician Valentine.

The practice of sending sentimental grcvtiiig cards began about AD. 1400. Lace paper and ribboiied fri'llwork gradually be- came a iiiglily skilled art, as valentine gal- lants sought to outdo one another. By 1800 the vogue had become tremendously pop- ular, and it has suivived into the present atomic age, outlasting dynasties; changed outwardly but still the same in spirit, and capable, it would seem, of perpetual reno- vation.

Words in Season

In a recent address at Nortimcstcrn Uni-

States anilizissatlm to Canada said tha Canadians are appalled l)y the ignorance of so many Americans about this country, llis Excclleiicy did not i-x.igi;ci:ate the unfortu- nate situation. Sonic place in that general area is the home of licprcscntativc Shee- lian who, only two or three years ago, it

to the United States (fongress that Canada should be "purchased" from Britain and converted into an American State. That gentleman was amazi-d to learn that Can- ada is not owned by Britain and, tlierelore, could not be put on the auction block by the British Government; in fact, he was so amazed by the information that he didn't quite believe it.

Misconceptions about Canada are so numerous among Americans that it would take a good-sizcd book to list them all. Here are a few of the more fantastic ones, re- ported by travellers from time to time: in- deed, some of them are frequently mention- ed in some sections of the American press:

Canada pays taxes to England. These taxes are collected by the Governor-General or his agents. If there is anything left over after English officials have all they want, it is returned to this country. The Queen, in her own person, has the power of life and death. Prime Ministers, Provincial Premiers, and other subordinates, do as they are told by the Queen's representa- 'tive. (It is only in late years.that the Gov- emor-General came into the fantasy. It used to be thought that the Sovereign at- tended to Ill these little chores in person.)

lloughelt places. There Ire no Universities or Colleges to speak of; medical students,l especially, are obliged to go to the Unitedj States for their education. Only a very few areas are free of ice and snow at any time in the year. Most Canadians would like, the country to be taken over by the Unitedl States; but they are afraid to say so openlyl because of the swift and cruel punishment that would be meted out by the English tyrants.

If it be true. as it has been stated by, reputable Canadian travellers time and tun? '

again. that these views. subject to varia- tions here and there-and others equally; fantastic-are held by at least 50'. oft Americans who live any considerable (lis-1 lance from the Atlantic seaboard. there is: obvious need for a crusade of enlighten- ment.

The Gentle Octopus

A campaign is underway to ex- uncratc the octopus. The octopus, says Science Service, an agency which reports the findings of the scientists, has been maligned. It is not. as it has heretofore been thought, I devil-fish; it is "one of the shyest and most retiring of all the citizens of the sea.” It creeps about the ocean floor and hides among the rocks "to lay for lab- sters, crabs and other items of seafood incautious enough to come within its reach."

This s ',y insidious sort of strategy strikes Science Service as anything but devilish. The ap- pelatloii. "devil-fish." it would re- serve for the great horned manta ur the giant ray. both of which, in uontradlstinction to the octo- pus. find human beings appetiz- ing. One would not wish to do inju- tlce to the octopus Ind one bel- twins to contradict I scientist (there was that little affair ovoi- lemmings) yet one cannot help but think this sort of reasoning is rather hard on giant rays and burned mamas.

A day or so ago In octopus was pictured in I Kuch cartoon to mark the launching of the Nautilus. Readers of this page Ire therefore well aware that the creature has eight sucker-bearing tentacles. It also has strong, beak-like jaws. Some nctopuses are forever in deep water. They have gelatinous tis- sues, reduced gills and no finger- nails. When nervous, they have been known to chew off their own tentacles as far up Is what should

says Science Service, and there- fore they are good. not devilish at all. This is surely questionable logic. The tncautlous crabs and lobsters might hold the view (if they can hold a view) that the argument is a bit anthropomorphic and we would be inclined to think them right. We would go further and say that Science Service has over- looked the whole tremendous ques- tion of the underlying motive. That question. simply put, is this: does the fact that I great horned manta will eat I men, while the octa- pus will not, justify the scientist in calling the octopus good and the great horned manta bad, or devil- ish? We do not think so. It de- D9ndS Upon the motive. Obviously In octopus that 1-.. Ililts its nIturIl inclinations that, in otbcr words. denies itself and Ibltalns because I has I gentle hurt.

TREATING CONVULSIONB

A convulsion in I baby II I frightening thing for I mother Ind father.

While you should take lmmedl-3

ate action to aid ygur tol. don't become unduly alarmed. If you handle the situation quickly and properly. I convulsion is usually not as serious Iimatter as it. may appear.

Sometimes a convulsion, or even several of them, will occur at the beginning of. or during an illness. Diarrhea or some other intestin- al upset might bring it on.

If your baby suddenly develops I high fever. as he might if he is coming down with I contagious disease, he may be stricken with a convulsion. Among other causes are brain infections. brain injur- ies or epilepsy.

Begins Suddenly g

Generally. a cunvulslon will be- gin suddenly with little or no warning. A slight twitching of the baby's hand, feet or face muscles usually is the first sign. This twitching probably will spread to most of the ' throughout his body. His body probably will become stiff, his face will sweat and his lips may become blue.

His eyes will stare and roll up- ward. His head may jerk, and be may clench his fists. He will be unconscious during the attack.

The convulsion may continue for hours, or it may last only for a few minutes. even without treat- ment.

Your first step, of course, should be to call your doctor. While you're waiting for him. you can wet the baby's skin thoroughly with I mixture of half warm water and half alcohol. Then wrap him in I blanket and put him to bed

If you don't have any alcohol in the house. place him in I bath of tepid water. The water should be about 90 to 100 degrees. You can test it with your elbow. Make sure it feels comfortable.

Keep Close Watch

Keep the baby in the water for about five or ten minutes. If the convulsion stops before this, take hlm out at once. Wrap him in I blanket place him in bed. Watch him carefully. You might place I cold cloth on his head as he lies in bed.

If he had teeth, it might be a good idea to place I wooden stick between them to keep him from biting his tongue.

Handle him gently. because his nervous system is excited. Noise. bright lights and rough handling might start another convulsion. Therefore, you should keep him as quiet as possible. keep his room dark and quiet, too. An enema. as I rule. will only disturb I baby.

Don't feed him for at lunt two hours following an attack. Make him stay in bed for snveral days.

If neceana 3' your doctor can give your baby an anesthetic to stop I convulsion. and be can pre- scribe the proper medicines to keep it from returning.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

M. 3.: Whenever I handle I newspaper, the ink comes off on my hands. What would cause this?

Answer: It is likely that this happens because your hands be- come moist, possibly due to ex- cessive sweating.

Extreme perspiration of the bands may be due to nervousness. Hyperthyroidism. or increased se- cretion from the thyroid gland. is also a possible cause of excessive perspiration.

You should consult I physician for an examination, in order to tell what condition is present; then proper treatlnent can be sug- gested.

It has been said that the British Colonial Office since the war has been so pre-occupicit viiili constitution-building that II has neglected the prior task of strengthening the economic mell- belng of its possessions. Curtain- ly the rush to self-government has been obvious. But. the critics who take this sand may well over- look the fact that. in our age, politics take priority over eco- nomics. Colonial peoples, many of whom have gal ntly served the British flag in e of war. no longer care for subtirdinail political status. They bellow that they have earned freedom and self-government. They want to make their own decisions. They grow restive at continued super- vision. This tide is !ll'0flL' and has proved irresistible in many parts of the world. The (tulnninl Office recognizes it. just as it has always fostered the long-e.si;iIilish- ed British tradition of i-nl.'ir;:lnl the Ireas of self-goveriinunt in its Empire. -Montreal Star
