Strange Christmas Customs

Many thousands of people enjoy- ing Christmas at home in Canada are thinking of relatives or friends abroad and wondering how they will spend the day.

But tltey can rest H$~~UTPII lliat. iio matter where the absent ones are, they will celebrate the occasion in a fit-ting ntaiuier, for so strong are their memories of traditional rus- ioms that Christmas means as much to them on the Equator as it would were they in Canada.

Out in India the day is usually one of hot sunshine. Although holly is praciicaliv unobtalniiblc, yet nat- ive mistletoe and bougaineillea make excellent substitutes for dec- Iutioris. Where there to a garri- son lhcy hold a full-dress church parade. Curiously enough open-air picnics are held in the zifteriicon, while dinner parties and fancy dress balls are the more conventional means of spending the evening.

"It. wouldn't matter what he says," said Mr. Gilmours son. "This is what matters: do you love iiie, i<'a_v'."'

I-‘ay looked straight across table into his eager blue eyes.

“Yes . . . Geoffrey"

He clasped her hands. With the fl'ccmiisoiiry of youth, a couple strolling past them looked the other way.

“You'll marry me, then?’

"Geoffrey . . . would it be pos- siire?" a "Iuverytliittgs possible. If we both love each other, what else can hap- pen? Loving each other is the only thing that matters, isn't it?"

Fay nodded. '

‘It may iizean rather a long en- gagement," said Geoffrey. "We shall certainly have to ivail; till I'm tvreu- ty-one. That doesn't matter; Two or three years is nothing. But even ihcu, yon sec, perhaps I shairt be ' earning much. And Father mightirt help us if hc didntlike my getting married young!

"safety First" is the Euldln! principle of every health officer. This is particularly true as rEEHTd-‘l the protection of i1l1b1l0 milk Sui?- pues, \Vc want milk that is of good quality. Quality is, Iiowevei‘. 0T minor importance as comPMQd with the safety of the milk which we are to consume. . '

What satisfaction is there in hav- ing a milk that is rich in food values and of good flavour if, hid- den from our eyes because of their microscopic size. the EBYIIIS 0f m5‘ ease are to be found in it?

The only practical way that ls known at present to secure a safe supply for a COIiIlIlLlIIlt)’ is to com- binc inspection and pasteurization. We require inspection to secure as clean a mill: as possible for healthy’ cows, and pastcuriz-atioii to make this iuilk safe.

From time to time we hear ob- jections bring rutsed to the use of l)11Sl(‘lli'l‘-I(‘£l mill: on the grounds that the heating of milk destroys much of its food value.

A report has been made recently on a study made of several thous- and citlldrcu to determine if there were aiiy appreciable difference in the height or wcipht of children fed on heated milk as compared with llmrt- fed Oil raw milk.

There nan im significant differ- -.~ f-uitirl l» 'I'.\'f'f‘ll the heights and t ~i vi the two groups. ‘Ilie frat-lioiilil difference was in luvuui" of the group receiving heated milk. Children do not live on milk alone excepting for the srort period when they should be breast-fed. All of the rliiltlrcu studied hail eiitcu cer- eals, vegetables, fruits and iitetits. The conclusion reached was that, under average living conditions. tlicrc is no measurable difference bctwccii children using; raw and those using healed milk.

"Safety First" would imply the use of milk, but would require that the milk used be safe. 'I'liere is rio reason why anyone should take chances when tlic sale milk is as good iii every other way, and it "possesses the added virtue of safgty,
