AUTUMN SONG

fling me a, song of the Autumn clear,

with the mellow days ruddy eves:

Bing me a. song of the ending year,

With the piled up sheaves.

Bing me a song pf the apple bowers,

of the great grapes the vine-field

ids, e ripe peaches bright as ers. ‘

ind the rich hop-fields.

sing me a. song of the fallen mast.

Oi the sharp odor the pornase sheds,

of the purple beets left last

in the garden beds.

ling me a song of the tolling bees,

0f the long flightand the honey won,

0f the white hives under the apple- trees,

in the hazy sun.

Bing me a song of the thyme and the sage,

0i sweet marloram in the garden SP6?»

Where goes my love Amnitage

Pulling the sununer savory.

fling me a song of the red deep,

The long glow the sun leaves,

Di the swallows taking a last sleep

in the barn eaves.

the death rate from alcoholism per 100.000 of the population was less than one-fourth that of 1917; and that the alcoholic death rate among‘ Policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance COmpany had drop- bed to about one-eighth of that in i017. These figures reflect the ben- eflil of Prohibition as prohibition Wlht to be, No other period of history in the world records such n drop in the death rate, even among selected groups. could we have had a better degree of enforcement dur- ing all these years how enviable 110W would be our health record and our death rate. What the na- tion now needs is not nuli-ftcation, but more prohibition.

Alcohol and Alcoholic Insanity

A few Years s80 reports showed that nine of the states of the union contained 90 per cent. of all 611505 0f alcoholic insanity in the land. These states were thestates that had j.’ ticaliy nullified prohibition within their borders. whatsoever a man, or a state, or a nation shall sow, that shall it also reap. If it sows the seed of alcoholism it 511511 reap alcoholic insanity.

Alcohol and Athletics

Is there a relationship between alcohol and athletics? If alcohol is 800d for a nation. it is good for the individual. Why not furnish oil ath- letics with alcoholic beverages? Be- cause lt has been found that al- cohol impairs physical efficiency. Athletics is wiser than certain com. ........i..l interests, and some poli- tlcsl parties-athletics has excom- municated alcohol.

Alcohol and Strength of Will

There is a certain element in all society which is inadequate and msladiusted to its environment. Blwh persons are unhappy. They find to turn to stimulants and narcotics to induce a state of eu- Dlwris, and these substances in tum further deteriorate the will, and render the individual yet. more [emotionally unstable. Just here al-

chiefly the small fly-catchers. Well, we dissected this fellow, and found two little birds‘ legs, and they were not mates. Last fall I saw a shrike follow a snow bird fully five hun- dred feet high, but the snow bird won out.

I said to another man, “The crow and bronco gvackle take the

robins cuss.“ “Why," he said. "I don't, understand that; there is a robln‘s nest within a rod of my door, and. the woods are full of crows." Why. bless your life, that is,

ooholism finds many of its ready recruits. Now any complete health program must include preventive mental and emotional hygiene. For those who cannot be salvaged in this manner, the prohibition of al- cohol is legitimate, for they are a menace to yhcir icllowmcn and a tniilsione about the neck of soozety.’ They cannot protect themselves;

Orphanage Review,

The September meeting of the Trustee Board of the Protestant 0t"- phauagc r wcil attended and the time was mainly occupnri with thc cotislderation of the sev-sfi‘. cufilillit- tee reports of their activity over the summer months.

Considerable repair had been found necessary to the brickwork and some remodeling done in the

interior; four cat's of coal had been‘

purchased and the hauling was 12c- lng ict by tcilcicl‘. ;

The report of the Home was very complete and included the activity of the Gywos and L. P. U, in bcllulf of Lllt: children. The Board is cvcr grateful to such organizations for these and past favors. In presenting the finance report, lvlrs. H. S. licn- derson, head of the committee, tab- led a cheque for $200.00 from the City Auxiliary, the result of their floivcr sale during Exhibition week. The members individually expressed their appreciation of tiic outstand- ing ivork of this untirlng band of ladies.

Rcsulning, it was shown it while funds were in sight for im- mediate needs, thc cxtrn expense for iviutci" liccds including coal would require special financing till tiic ililllllfil fail drive opening early in November.

In the Endowmctit Fund the re- ccipt of $100.00 from the estate of the late William Ross Rigott, Savage Harbor, was announced. During i932 this fund had received several helpful increases but so far in. i033 vcry little had been added. It is hoped e. thoughtful public will not

overlook this excellent plan of con- -.

tinuing assistance.
