ACCIDENTS KILL MORE CHILD- REN THAN INFECTIOUS DISEASES

At the beginning of the ccnt'un' about three children of every 10 died at birth or during the first year. Today. bemuse childrents use-ases are prevented in great measure by immunizing children against children's infectious dis- eases. the death rate has been re- duced by over 200 per cent. How- ever, we read every day of one or more being burned to death, poison- ed, or killed in accidents, traffic or other types, and all in the majority of these cases, the parents are to blame.

In advertising their Eighth Na- tional Health week, the Health Lea- gue of Canada put B. list of health facts into the hands of all phy- sicians, public speakers, editors and clergyman.

Among these facts was the state- ment that accidents are greater child killers than it) top infectious diseases. Here are a dozen vital safety rules for every parent to fol- low.

1. Don't leave drugs and medicine within reach of children. Always keep them in a cupboard out of reach.

If the clothes closet is infested with months, saturate a cloth with formaldehyde and hang it in the closet. Close the door tightly and leave for twelve hours. The fumes will kill the moths and their eggs and will leave no odor.

ELLEII'S DIARY, ,

It on Island lunar: Wife

' Though at present and for weeks post we sojourn a mile from home. occasions arise when the call to "Come back to Alderlss" is borne irresistibly to us here. on a whisper of breeze. A more sigh it is, which, begets an answer- ing longlng as over the fields it comes and over the woodlands, to bid us return. This evening it came to us - after the supper things were put away and the day, a. rare one of Junes, was drifting into the sunset.

How serene and lovely it was approaching its restl Calm and beautiful the countryside, the sky of west flooded with deep rose and gold as the sun spread color- lul banners along the blue . . . and a magic haze of day's dying. settling on the far hills. We gath- ered last crumbs from beneath the table, hung dustpan and broom in their accustomed places and came to the doorway.

Now blossomed in royal hue, the lilacs were shedding their sweet- ness about . . . At this place they grow in yard and lawn the sight rcmindful to us that likely an English hand had something to do with these plantings to sustain memories of beloved "Laylacs" over the seas.

Away over the meadows a trac- tor moved in a field but strange- ly enough, to our cars, not with the enthusiasm of morning, the sound of its passing more measur- ed now-tired', or was it regretful over the vanishing day? A dog barked in the distance, the notes lingering not unmuslcally on the still air. And nearer a voice in 8. familiar call brought the cows to the barnyard to the milking.

Towzirds Alderlca the fields beckoned. "This," we offered to James carrying an armful of bedding to a pen in the plggery, "would be a nice evening for a walk. 'l”hatawayi" we nodded. smil- ing. "Don't thlnk'of walking it, Ellen" James protested, "just wait a few minutes and we'll drive out there." He too had caught the "whisper in the wind"-which had also spoken to him of Home.

And so we came with the child- ren to Aldcrlea, loving the beauty and bloom of the wayside glories in,,passing, finding with the lads

plant and shrub and tree; admir- ing with them the flock in pic- tured surroundings by the mill- strcnm, the lambs, the white and the black happy as so many young- stars, at their play.

Should we kindle a fire to put

life into the deserted kitchen? Jamie followed us in - a. quiet. thoughtful fellow. old for his years. "Since we're all here. dont you think it would be a. good time to mow the lawn?" he suggested. And that was the chore we came to, joined by Jeanie and the chlldreii and their visiting grand- mother, from the house across the lanc. Then; was work and laugh- tcr, until dusk and the dewfall put an end to our labor and turn- ed our several steps homeward again. Now delightful brookslde pip- ings steal in at our window. The house is silent - the children a- bed. "Ellenll" It is James' voice from the hallway below calling. "What," the tones are stern, "do you expect a fellow 'runs' on?" Lunch-time is dawiilng.

Lei Son's Wife Run Household Wiihoui Your Interference '

DEAR MISS DIX: My son, a young doctor, married against my wislics into rl family of whose conduct I do not approve. They be- lieve in things my son was raised to refute. For instance, they do not say grace before meals, they go to shows" on Sunday, they have

alcoholic beverages in the house, although neither one drinks to any extent. I have, however, told my daughter-in-law she was not to have anything like that in her home.

Even though their home 'isn't paid for, they go to a restaurant on Sundays for dinner. I have

wu-.......n

all I have in the world and she shouldn't waste money like that when they are dstlll in debt.

I try to help her by telling her what she should buy and how she should dress her child. I told her lhe boy should be taking music lessons but she says he isiyt interested. If she would just keep after him I'm sure he would develop some musical talent. She seems to think that because she took a few courses in child care at the uni- versity she knows as much as we-oldslers who have had the advant- age of experience. I told her she could have a boy as fine as mine if she would rear him exactly as I raised my son, for that is the only way to do it. How can I prove to her that I am right?

MRS. P.N:A.

Muriel Nluen

ANSWER: I honestly think you're acting in the belief that you are right, but further from the truth you could not gel. Do you realize that if your particular way of rearing a child were the only correct method, there would be but one good man in the country, namelyfyour son? Obviously, you are dead wrong on that score. Every single mother has a different system of bringing up children, and most of them-in fact, the very vast majority-are rlghli Fund- amental rules remain quite static, but the embellishments differ with each family. Your daughter-in-law seems to have a very fine set of basic principles, and with that material I am sure her child will grow up Io be a credit to everyone. -

Some of your principles could well he adopted for your son's inm- ily, but their absence by no means indicates that a clilld raised un- der these particular circumstances will be ill-bred

NO HARM IN DINING OUT

u

Your son and his wife are completely within their rights to have dinner in a restaurant on Sunday if they prefer. If everyone re- frained from dining out until he had (1 home completely paid for, restaurants would do a sorry business. Most young people begin life with a mortgaged home, which entails neither disgrace nor the neces- sity of banning all relaxation or pleasure until the home is paid for.

Sunday dinner out is a highlight of ihe week for many young couples and should be encouraged, rather than otherwise. It.is, for one thing. good for their child to take him out to dine occasionally. He will thus acquire social graces that are impossible to inculcate entirely at home. Many a grown man or woman has been flustcred when confronted with the task of ordering a meal in public; your grandson will have no such qualms if he learns at his present tender

agedfour daughter-in-law is also right in her attitude towards ll musical education. Talent-musical or otherwise-is a gift from Heaven, and no amount of instruction will instill it in one who is in- ept. Of course it's a wonderful thing to play or sing, but the acquis- ition of such knowledge by one who is completely without talent is an irksome procedure and seldom worth the effort.

Suppose you begin to adjust your attitude! The experiences of yesterday will do little to help in the problems of today. Each per- son, each family has its own problems and must learn to cope with them according to the exigencies of the moment. You cannot force your experience on others. You raised your son according to your ideals; surely be, In turn; has the same right in regard to his own child. Try to understand their life in the light of modern methods. and by adjusting yourself you'll have a better comprehension of what your son and his wife are trying to do.

DEAR MISS DIX: ' My nelghbors' boys, whose ages range from 5 to 12. are such a nuisance that we hate lo go out. They throw rocks, pull down fences, walk on lawns and use abusive language. Complaining to their parents does no good. They are a bad influence
