"Ae you know," he aaid, "u long ago as 18M the Charlottetown Confer- ence was convened with the object of merging the three provinces by the lea. That, object having later been loot. sight of in the greater 310.10% of Confederation, it is. however, o! even greater import» a-nce now, and after its Rip Van Winkle repose for ‘I0 years might very well be aroused to action"

We in Canada, with tremendous forest resources, are aittﬂ8 N03 idly and watching their depletion each yea-r at a rate which ls little short. of a crime. B111“ 15 ma" that within far fewer years than mod: people imagine our forest wealth vrlll have been lrretrlevably impaired to a very serious extent. From time to time there are heard piglﬂ gxpresdom of horror at this sort. of thing from various members of Parliament, but noth- ing is done that even begins to measure up to the actual necessit- ies of the situation.

horn a Root opinion written by Chief Justice Hughes of the Unit- ed States Supreme Court on mn- stitutional freedom of the press: “The administration of government has become more complex, the 0p- portunlties for malfeasance and corruption have multiplied, crime has grown to moat serious propor- tions, and the danger of its pro- tection by unfaithful oﬂlci-als and of the impairment of the funda~ mental security of life and property by nramlnal alliances and official neglect emphasize the primary need of a vigilant and courageous press, especially in great cities’ From which it is clear that the press ln this country has not only a legal right but a public duty to print news fearlessly and speak its mind freely.

If the meteors that have fallen upon the earth during the past hundred million year's were to be evenly spread upon its surface they would form a layer hardly more than one-hundredth of an irlch in thirkness. ‘this is the calculation made by Dr. Harold Jeffreys. F118, of 8t. John's College, Cem- bridge and communicated by him to the scentlfic periodical, Nature. Dr. Jeffreys states that on the average, in ordinary circumstances, about three meteors are visible per hour at a given place, and that represents meteors that have fal- len within a radius of at least 100 kilometers (about so m-les). Oc- casional meteoric showers do not ocotpy enough time to more than dotble the number of calculated meteors, in Dr. Jeffreys‘ estimation.

Oﬂlclal record; and thou of un- omcial and cooperative observers strongly suggest that “we are in the midst of a period of abnormal warmth which has come on more or leee gradually for many years.” In Washington, District of Col- umbia, for example, eighteen of the lug twenty-one winter: have been warmer than normal with the winter of mar-n the warmest in a century, whereas fourteen of the nineteen winters between 1&4 and lﬂlwerecolderthan normalwlththe wLnter of 1056-60 the coldest in more than a century.

The usual ngmptonu at the begin- ningofanattackareafeelimu if the whole body had been pound- ed, a general who of all the mus- cles, the head becomes "sultry" or 'snu:rly", there is a slight cough, slight rise in temperature, an un- easy feeling in the atomach.

How should you ﬁght an~attack of ﬂu?

The suggestions of the Canadian social Hygiene Council and these suggestions are now in general use

are:

l. Go to beg immediately.

2. Call your physician at. once .r.:\l follow his advice exactly.

3. stay in bed until your doctor tells you to get up.

4. Remember the period of get- iing well is longer than the time actually ill.

5. Keep your room at 68 dqrees l". and well ventilated.

Your doctor will tell you that the

most important part of the treat- ment is not the medicine he gives you but getting to bed at the first sign of flu, and staying there a few days after your temperature is down to normal. This getting of! the feet and stay- ing oi! the feet ls your best chance of preventing pneumonia, or a heart condition later.
