has fallen by 1,337,000 since June, 1945. This decline is due to a considerable extent to the exodus of married women frolu factory work and to the retirement of large numbers of old- er men who would normally have left industry during the course of the years 1939 to i045. There is a large reserve, however. which will help appreciably to bridge the gap: The 760,- 000 ex-merubers 0f the Forces who are still on paid leave.

The man-power shortage during the first months 0f peace has hccu one of the main handicaps to British industrial rccouversiou. Today this problem is well on the way to a final solution.

From attotlter source, it is learned that hewas a barrister by profession. His treatise otl Whist, for which he received from the publisher the sum of £1,000, was first published in 1743, and at- tained such a popularity that it ran throttgh five editions in a year, besides being extens- ively pirated. He has even been called the in- ventor of the game of Whist, but this is cer- tainly a mistake, though there can be no doubt that it was indebted to him for being first treated of, and introduced to the public in a scientific manner. It first began to be popu- lar in England about 1730, when it was par- ticularly studied by a party of gentlemen. who used to assentble in the Crown Coffee House, in Redford Row.

The Bells Of St. Mary's

(Cflmihi Events)

The film, The Bell: of Bf, Mary's, 1n which Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bersmfln B99981‘. and which lS now being shown ln Great Britain. has brought back to popularity the sp-ng whlch has given title to the

film.

The Rev. Cancel R. P. Jolly, Rec- tor of Klddermlnster, England re- calls that when he was Rector or St‘. Mary's Church, Southampton, the composer visited hlm and stated that when he wrote the song he had St. Mary's, South- ampton, in mind, the reason being that they were the last. bells he heard when he left England for America. and they seemed to him to be typical of all bells. He also felt something interesting in the very name of St. Mary's,

It. ls believed that in A, D. 495, the Saxons made their first land- ing in Britain and established their first settlement l-n the neigh- borhood of the site of 5t. Mary's Church. The first church was bully during the 11th century. In the 16th century the complete edifice was pullcti down because l; formed a target for the French boats still- ing up the ri-ver. The Church. mother Church of Southampton, was rebuilt ln 1711 and this struc- ture was pulled down 160 years later to make way for a modern edifice in Early Ingllsh style with notably fine windows and as. al- abaster rcredos. which was dedi- cated to the memory of Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, and complet- ed in 1884.

The peat of ten bells was added

by the generosity of Mary Win- grc-ve nnd Baron Bell. During the Nazi air raids on

Southampton, n shower of incen- diary bombs was scattered on the Church. Owing to the large ox- tont of the roof, it was impossible to prevent fires establishing a hold, and the Church was com- pletely gutted.

Tho tower in which the bells were fixed did not collapse but the fire damaged the bells. These were removed and are now being recast ready to be fitted in the new Church of St. Mary which is plan- ned for the reconstructed South- umpton.

Polio Alarm- Unwa rranted

By Henry S. Doyle Director c-f Communicable Diseases, Publlr Health,

Saskatchewan

,There ls probably no disease which so alarms the parents as pollomyelltls. I should like to Pn- fr-rm these parents that polio need not he feared as much as we think. There ls no immediate cause for alarm.

In 1937, our worst infantile par- alysi-s year on record, there were actually more cases and deaths from whooping cough than from polio.

This outbreak causedgreat alarm because parents feared their children would be attacker! by this disease and left. crippled. They dld not stop to calculate what the chances were of their children hei-ng infected and de- veloping paralysis. I

Five hundred and twelve cases occurring in a population of 939,- 000 leaves a very slim chance for any one person to be involved. Then one must think in this way: of 512 crises, how many had por- manent disabilities? Approximately 50 pot" cent of accurately diagnos- ed crises will have some residual weakness. temporary or perman- ent, Of the 50 per cent that stiffer Weakness, there will be ccily a few who suffer serious crippling.

If we take this rational view- point of the disease. I am sure that r-ztrcnfswill realize that polit- is not nearly as fearsome a disease as they think.

The nublic’s fear of polio and lts relative unconcern about whoclping cough are inccmsislt-m.

In that same year, 1937, when fear and panic were in the hearts of parents. when there was much ltewspaper‘ publicity and we hntl 22 (lentils frompollo,whonplng cottnh caused 4'7 deaths out 01' 904 report- r-d cases. New. I am sure that tiarcnts do not fear whonpw-iq cnugh as much as they fear in- fantiln paralysis. Let's tnlr» rational viewpoint. Tho chant-cs of your child developing polio c-r httv- ing any paralysis are sli-m. Th» l'lll\l‘ll'f‘5 of your child lltlvlllfl whooping cottrzll are much gzetltcr.

We rnn prevrrtt whoa-ping coltgh. So lllt us tnkt- advantage of this ])l"‘\’t‘illtlllVI‘ nnd have our hahics
