Happenings of The Week

United states servicemen am been in Newfoundland for 10

The Yanks join in sports and social activities and they co-op- erate with provincial authorities. But more than that-they are marrying Newfoundland girls.

Marriages between islanders and American servicemen stationed at the three Newfoundland bases have increased to a point where straightening out citizenship of wives and offspring has become one of the major jobs of U. S. consular offices.

If anybody is unhappy about the arrangement. it is the unmarried males who already exceed eligible females in the province; Bachelor servicemen have cut into the wo- man surplus in the years the US. forces have been stationed there. and last year more than 800 New- foundland girls went to the States with their American hus- bands.

That": the figure revealed by the U. S. Cons l-Generals office in Newfoundland. It covers mar- riages at the St. John's and Ar- gentia bases. but does not include many others at west coast Har- mon Air Force Base.

American couples are also tak- ing to parentless children. Last year 25 adoptions were arranged by authorities co-operation with the Newfound- land Department of Welfare.

Did you know that-

0. A. C. after their snnusl meeting last September and again last-month wrote to the Govern- ment asking that ice. and coffee be classified as "floods" and that the ten per cent. sales tax be taken off these items? i

As every consumer knows. We pay much more for our coffee in Canada than consumers in the United states. Part of the dif- zerenoe in prices I due to such

things as higher truisportation charges. slightly higher storage charges (winter supplies are

brought into Montreal before the freeze-up) and to the two per cent. duty that must be paid on all cof- fee coming from non-British sources, (about 90 per cent. at the present time). .

But a considerable part of the price difference is due to the 10 per cent. sales tax. This is just one of the many ways 0. A. C. is try- ing to stretch our dollar but do you realize that mnst of our prices are so closely interwoven with everyone's i comes as to make it difficult to bring the one down without bringing down the other.

C. A. C. can tell you what can be helped and what has to be en- dured. whst housewives should "kic'r." about and what they must: accept or cure through their own buying behavior. This is the first organization created in Canada through which the average house- wife can bring her complaints to the Government or through which she can learn the many matters that touch her "business of buying."

Today the consumer has a means of uniting her voice with that of other housewives and con- sumers. Bhe has a place where she

Marriage to a servicemen does not automatically give U. S. cit- izenship to a Newfoundland girl. but speedy naturalization is ar- ranged when the couplel returns to the States. The same applies for adopted children.

REEUMATIC FEVER. IS GRADUALLY DISAPPEARING-I -m- 4

Albhough there are cases of, rheumatism that physicians and dentists cannot trace back to in- fected teeth and tonsils and which? they believe are caused by other conditions (too much starch food. cold and dampness. and injuriesl, there appears to be no question but that in most cases rheumatic fever can be traced directly to the streptococcus organisms found in the throat.

Rheumatic fever is acknowledged to be childhoods greatest enemy, as an attack predisposes to future attacks. followed by heart dis- ease. While many of these cases die in childhood or in early adult- hood. there are still a great num- ber who live on and then pass away in the prime of life-in their forties.

with the coming of our new "wonder" drugs. the physician now has cortisone and ATCI-I with which to light most forms of rheu- matism. including rheumatic fever.

At the last convention of the American Medical Association at Los Angeles. Dr. Paul D. White. Boston. the noted heart authority, while giving credit to the new drugs, said that medicine is well on its way to controlling rheuma- tic fever with lts toll of lives from heart failure. "Rheumatic fever." he said, "has almost disappeared in areas where the standard of living is higher, such as suburban areas. This encouraging result is due to the development of the an- tibiotic (germ killers) and other drugs that control the strepto- oocco."

while it is of interest to learn that good nourishing food so strengthens the body's defenses against disease. Dr. White goes on to say that many persons are still eating too much and if they could reduce the unnecessary calories or food units. it would help to pre- vent heart disease and diabetes.

In the matter of food and rheu- matism. Drs. A. A. .F'let.cher, of Toronto. Canada. and Dr. Ralph Pemberton. Philadelphia. several years ago reported their success in the treatment of rheumatism by cutting down on starch foods- sugar. potatoes. bread. pastry.

It is certainly gratifying to learn that rheumatic fever, until recent- ly chilclhood's greatest enemy, has almost completely disappeared wlhere the standard of living is higher. It can be seen that gov- ernments and industry. by taking into account the cost of living. are

A. The same as always-"Mrs. Frank J. Wilson.”
