Thursday and Friday and Sat- urday are leiit te local initiative to present any features deemed advisable.

Naturally the teachers‘ oraan- izations throuxiumi Canada will be able to give real leadership in this Health Week. Teachers will be able to look afte schools. either in room. or in the school as a whole. if the school be s large school. For example. in anv larle school the prhiclpal and staff can easily arr-arise for speaker at their school assemby. a doctor or a clergyman or some one qualified to speak on health and the school.

But teachers can do more than this. Many teachers are connect- ed with orawnizations: church. school, service, lodge, political. social. and the like. An active in- terest in health will prompt the teacher to persuade his or her orminization to have an address on health in Health Week or at some suitable date in February and that meeting should be well re- ported ln the local press.

Any local teachers’ organization can secure the cooperation of the local press in publicity for Health Week. not only during Health Week. but advance publicity in press and on the radio. In a word the teacher group can be a local promotion committee to ensure a successful Health Week.

Why should teachers take such deep interest? Kindly re-read the opsnina parazraphs.

‘Ib assist all teachers and oth- ers interested in Health Week. the Health league of Canada is issuing in i946 -- as they ‘did l945—'two leaflets (a)-"Ah Out- line of Suggested Programme" and (b) "Health a memoran- dum of data intended specially for speakers. The booklet “Heroes of Health" will be furnished to the schools. These publications are issued in both English and French and are available on re- quest to the Health Leaaue of Canada. lll Avenue Road. Tor- onto. Kindly address Secretary. Health Week.

The cedars vary from medium- sized to lame-sized trees. There are (our species known of which two are native to Castada and the United States. The other two are native to Chins. and Japan. but are sometimes planted on continent for decorative purposes.

The bark of all species is thin and shreddy. The wood is aromatic and is much count of its lightness and dura- bility. The foliage consists of tiny. overlapp . scale-like ever- green leaves, wh h owur in pairs pressed to opposite sides of the twig. The branchlets are char- acteristically arrunaed in flat sprays.

The fruit is a tiny cone which matures in one vear and sheds many small seeds. Each seed is al- most surrounded by its two nar- row. membraneous wings excerpt in the case of the Asiatic species which have lanzer and heavier seed without wings.
