Thousands of students of the Universities are deprived of their first Federal vote this elec- tion by a decision of the Chief Returning Of- ficer for the Dolnittiott. It was within the dis- cretiorl of the Chief hefurtting Officer to give students attending university away from home the right to vote in the electoral districts where they live during university tcrnt. He has de- cided to (lcny 1111-111 that right. Citizens of Can- ada who have rcacltctl the age of twcttty-one and are attending college can only vote in this elec- tion if they are able to quit their studies on the eve of final examinations and go ltottte, Since few students can spare either the time or the‘ money for trips 1101111: after Easter, the decision amounts to a disfrattcltiselttettt of all those af- fected by it.

The Shetland Islands

(St. Thomas Tlmcs-Jottrnal)

It was universal knowledge before the last war f-fill» the British Navy had a sanctuary itt the Orkney Isl- itttcls. the particular haven of the Grand Flt-ct being at Scapa Flow. The Biritislt public must have been st1rp".l=ed. hct c1121" of the Slit-third Islands soon after the mesent 1v:": be-ian, a. much longer journey from Germany, being about 1.500 ntllcs there and back. equiva- lt-ttt to crossinz the Atlantic, which indicated to the Brlllslt people that up there the 1lfl\‘_\' has a new stronghold. although. obviously, the Germans knew all about. It.

The Shetlartcls comprise about 70 islands in ail. the total area oeint: 550 square tnlles, with a, population of 2G 000. The people ate a hariv

and cl-esgilte the loneliness . n poverty of their resuorces, they seldom "emigrate" to Scot- land except to follow the hmrln’; at trertaitt seasons. Fishing, small farming. and a few local hand- t-rafls such as the renowned Shet- lands shawls, and the breeding of the even nmre famed Shetland patties, are the chief sources of In- come. On the whole llfe there Is mltnitlve.

Wlrn the Orkney and Shetland ds were first populated is not but for 600 rveats from the n lo of the ninth century they did bcbng to Norway. How they cattle to be passed on to Scotland and therefore to become part of the British Empire, Is Interesting. 0.1 Julv 19. 1469. Princes Margaret, 13 rs old, clatlgliter of the third King of Denmark and Norway, Clnlstlcm 1, was married In Holly- rood Abbey, Edinburgh, to Jam-us 111, who was 18. King Chrlstlent gave his daughter u. dowry of 120.- 000 florings. equal to $60,000, offer- ing to pay 10,000 florlns down. and 1ilctlulttg the Islands as security I01 the otrcr 8.000. Thev were all poor cotuttrles lrl those days, and 2.000 Ilorins was all the King could raise. It. was agreed that If Margaret. sur- vived her husband and returned to her natlt-e land the Islands would revert. to Norway, but Margaret died In 1486, two years before James was murdered at Mlll town of Bannockbuln and the lands thus became rt of scotdand. Bev- eral times t. e Government of Norway and Denmark endeavored to regain them for a. cash payment. but the deal never went through. In 1764 the Dundas family acquired them. The head of this family Is the Marquls of Zetland, long a. leading squtreurchy In Yorkshire to this day, and It was from his name that the northern group of lsln-nds came to be known as Shef- lnnd. However, In time they were bought backnbly the Crown.

If Queen atgaret. has outlived her hucsband the Orkney and Shep land Isantls might have remained part of Norway, and the strategy of the British Navy In the big wars would have been altered, the near- est naval base In the North being at. R/bsyutlt, near to Edinburgh, some 250 miles south.

SOCIAL HYGIENE DAY

Throughout the United States on February 1st. Fourth Natlonal Social ‘l-Ifglene Day was observed and prov- ed _a reminder of the tremendous strides being made against sypnllls and gonorrhoea.

Canada, of course, had made con- siderable progress In venereal dls- ease control, but, as In the United States much Is yet to be done. As to Immediate and future needs In the United States, "The Health Officer"

ubllshed b the United States Pub- Ic Health get-vice says:

“An active program of public tn- formatlon must; continue to Inform those who are stlll not aware or only half aware of the nature of the ven- ereal diseases. Millions of dollars are stlll spent for "cuxealls" that. do not cure. Quacks and sellers o! wot-titles. remedies reap a rich annual harvest because not all people are suffic- Ientlv well-Informed about the nat- ure, 111168110815. treatment and cure o1 syphilis and gcnorrn-iea. Mtmv c0111- munltles have not yet begun to exert themselves etfwtlvelv In instituting control measures, wItl"l the resut that, these dtieases continue to reap a needles toll In misery and death. legislation has not vet been enacted In all Jurlsdlctlons for the reventfon of congenital syphllls and he spread of this disease In marriage. Among these factors can be Iouucl the rea- sons why syphilis gnd gonorrhcea WlIl continue high ln the ranks of our Iiatlonal llabllltles unless gains are consolidated and the ﬁght toa- Ilnued unremlttlngly.”

In Canada similar needs exist.

merits was made 20 years ago 1. .1111 a Department of venereal Dlse scs was set up at Ottawa, grants mafe to provlnces for clinics and to he Health League of Canada to carry on the necessary educational vl-ork,

Fora, number of vears $200,000 was appropriated by the Federal government and equal amounts spent, _by the provinces. Upwards of 100 clinics were established and ‘n the intervening years half a million peo le given treatment. This was" hal d In 1932 when grants were withdrawn and the spec al de art- ment abolished. Wlthln the la? few vcars, grants have been revived in pat-band it would appear that public opmon would soon necessitate the r complete p restoration.

Exlucauonalwork has been coit- Llntlollsly mzgttalned with the result that more people In Canada today realize what, major health hazards venereal diseases constitute than at any previous t-Ime.

The Interest of Canadian citizens In the problem of venereal dlserve control will undoubtedly he further Increased by the Influence of the aggressive campaign now being waged In the Utilted States.
