1 The safety factor today is perhaps being omphasized more- than in any time in the past. Forthe past few years one week is set apart as "Health Week." Thisisa special

occasion when we should take "stock" and try and ascertain if we are doing as" much as we individually and collectively

can to nsake this Dominion, this Province, this City of ours as i

safe _as we can from disease, which is our common enemy. consensus of modern opinion in the-field of public health in Canada, in the United States and in Great lritain is that a single vaccination against smallpox is, in too many cases, not sufficient for a life time of protection. lnprrler to play "safe“, it is desirable and necessary to repeat this vac- cination peliodically. Every six years is considered an opti- mum time to seek this protection .by a re-vaccination.‘ It is the one and only way to banish this enemy and all school chil-

‘dren from Grade Vll upwards should avail themselves of this

protection. ~

"Health Week" this year is observed during the first‘

week of February and the Department of Health ls making preparations for clinics in each of the City Schools the fol- lowing week for this purpose.

Any school child, who has never been vaccinated and any who has t ten vaccinated six years a o tion to those im Grades Vil, Vlll, IX andgX attending the City Schools are eligible for these Clinics, which will be conduct- ed by the City HealthOfficer, assisted by the City Public

_Health Nurse.

lt should be pointed out that it is required by law that a child must be vaccinated before he or she can attend a public school, but the revaccinations are voluntary. Intelli- gent parents do not require compulsion when the health ef their children is at stake.

The time and place will be later advertised in the press.

British Spirit ill Iolerance

ters) - A German journalist who has returned to the American sane ,- after spending three weeks tour- lng the British Isles believes that only British type "tolerance" ap- plied to Europe cal save the con- tinent from sinking into a auag- . mire of inhumanity.

The journalist. Fritz Von Woedt- lte, who is rwell known' for his theatrical writing, stated in a re- port published in the "wlesbaden- or Kurler" that during his trip he discovered the spirit ot England was beet epitomized in Voltalre's saying; "I may disagree with your opinion; but I will fight to the death tor your right to exprose lt." Von Woedtke said that he was unable to discover wbathnr the average Englishman's love of tnl- erance sprang from sell-discipline. lack of passion, the inﬂuence of the damp climate. or was simply

the mull island with one price- less commodity — the spirit of England. it you transtee it to your children. it is Lke medicine. It has calories and the formula o; the drug is-Joleratioﬂ."

Von Woedtke declared that dur- ing his brief visit to the “cloud and crisls-curtained" island, he lound people living with g, mixture of self-discipline and liberty, which resolved itself into the spirit of British tolerance.

Through the hungry eyes of a German accustomed to gazing at the bomb-Jagged ruins of hie country's cities and its discouraged inhabitants, London becune a ma- gic kaleidoscope.

Drove Through Insulin _ Describing his arrival at Liver- pool Street station. Von Woedtlre said: "Mist and fog cloak us as we drive through the city of ‘t.- 000.000. We. a group of Germans riding in a taxi through the, town. drive fast on the ‘shiny asphalt of the main streets. Hllge double-deck monsters (London buses) congre- gate nightly in front of the red traffic lights like herds of hurry- ing, heavily-breathing metal azs- knais."

When he arrived at his ‘hotel in Kensington and found a hot bath Whiting. Von Wocdtke decided: “It rnust be a dream. I think of my poor hmne in Germany and I am sure that it is all g dream. But. there I am in a huge, still-shining brilliant cosmopolitan city and I am happy at being in the world again and at home in it."

During a trip to a post office, Von Woedtke was surprised at. "the good left in the world" -- as typ- ified by two persons altruistically sending glttlparcels to needy per- .sona abroad.

“There are two persons ahead a! 4M in line who want to dispatch parcels, A woman and an Engllgj workman with a pipe and .ea1t.hy. colored akin.
