ililservslico of ilatloniil Health Week in The Home

How can National Health Week be observed in the home. There are many ways in which health principles can be built into the lives of children-and of par- ents as well. It is. important, of course: for the families to know the factors that make for health security--to know what individ- uals and families can do for their own protection, and to know what the community, does for the pro- tection and advancement of health for all its memhcrs.i one of the most effective and least obvious settings for family education, in health or other mat- ters. is the dinner table. At the evening mealtime. when all, or nearly all. the embers of the family are together conversation may range over a wide variety of subjects. With a little deft leader- ship, parents can often steer the

Parents might remark, "Very good. But where does one start?" Discussions of any kind. includ- ing one on family and community health. have many. starting points. An easy and obvious one is refer- ence to the fact that National Health Wtek is being observed this week. A question regarding health practices at school may start a useful conversation. It may de- velop from what children recall of a. health film or s. health educa- tion project. lit may lead to a com- parison between pioneer health problems in communities and families, a discussion to which parents and grandparents can contribute.

Reference could be made to ac- cidents experienced and how they might have been prevented. This could lead to provisions which are made by the community to pre- vent sickness and accidents.

If lively family interest can be aroused. projects might be assign- ed. One child might be asked to find out and report back what ac- cident hazards exist in the home and how they may be overcome. another to check hazards outside or on the farm. Another member of the family might be asked to inquire into the work of the Health Department for the pro- tection of families and commun- itles. Mlothers. too, can make their contributions, by telling what community organisations. such as women's clubs. are doing on the health front.

Discussi-us should not be long or be forced. There should be no ridicule of anyone offering a mis- taken ldea-rather a. tactful. friendly alternative should be of- fered. Parents should not domin- ate the conversation; rather they should be good listeners, putting in a few word.s here and there.

133 Lives

cess Victoria confused some rescue ships in the vicinity. These vessels understood the ferry was near the Scottish coast a.nd steamed along there. instead of along the Irish coast. before the paosition of the stricken ship definitely was estab- lishcd.

Giant Wave Caused Trouble

Disaster overtook the Princess Victoria in the northern neck of the Irish see. one giant wave struck her broadside I and poured hundreds of tons of water into her hold. A rescue seamen said:'

"she began to fill up life a jug. Once the list set in, she shipped water over the stern. Then it. was just'a question of time." For five hours Ferguson fought to keep his ship afloat. The vessel could not answer her helm. Fergu- son ordered his crew to pnt life- jackets on the women and children and form a human chain to hand them up the slanting deck to the llfeboats.

The tragedy struck hard at Northern Island and western scot- land where many the passeng are live. Messages of sympathy came from the Queen and other leaders of the land; sailors and fishermen prayed in the trim little churches of coastal towns.

seven Bodies Recovered

In this port, men and women, many dressed in their Sunday best, waited on a pier as the coast guard crews came in. slumped in their dripping yellow oilskins. the coast guardsmen shook their head.-. Those at thepicr knew that meant there was no hope of finding ad-

ditionsl survivors. Among those who perished were Mal. John Maynard Sinclair, deputy prime

ministerxof Northern Ireland. and

Sir Walter Smiles. member of Britain's Parliament from North Down.

only seven bodies have been re- covered thus fsr. All are uniden- tifie

Identity of the dead is expected to be difficult to establish because the Princess Victoria kept no pas- senger list.

Calls For Help

Emergency calls for help came from mayor after mayor with such steady profusion n the radio. network that it was rnpmsible to draw a comprehensive picture of the situation or assess the casual-

es.

The Associated Press correspond- ent at Antwerp. Belgium's leading port. said: .

"This is the worst catastrophe of the last 40 years in Antwerp. The schcide rlver'left its channel. Dikes in the harbor broke down over a 120-yard length. ships cap- sized in drydocks. The telephone network of the city is slmost. com- pletely destroyed. The electricity supply in the greater part of the city is cut. off. The number of victims so far is unknown."

Chaos. Confusion

similar reports of chaos and con-

fusion came from southwestern Holland, the picturesque area of hundreds of square miles of flat islands at the many mouths of the Rhine, the Meuee and the Bchelde. This is land reclaimed from the see. some authorities reported the sea was rushing through collapsed dikes so fiercely that rowbosfs no longer were of use. Gales, coinciding with the spring tide. overwhelmed dikcs that were considered solid, f' ding polders below-sea.-level areas behind the dikes. marooning and drowning farmers, rushing through the streeiz and houses of towns and villages.

50 Towns, Hamlets

Emergency calls came from at least 50 towns and hamlets. The low-level eastern part of Rotter- dam, main port in Holland. was flooded when its river dike burst." Two hundred volunteers worked to plug the hole with sand bags. Willem.stsd's 2,000 people were marooned on their housetovps. Two landing craft went their rescue. An area of mi diaaste was around Dordrecht, a city of 200,- 000 just south of Rotterdzun..Gra- venfecl in that area reported seven dead. Zwyndrecht, a. suburb of Dordrecht, reported the first dike break. .

The p'eoplc of the island of Wal- cheren. which was flooded by Sec- ond Wcrid War bombing of its dikes. had to give up their. land again to the salt of the sea. Waters was three feet. in its harbor city of Flushing.

Rescue workers faced the sever- est task in the province of Zeeiand because of its isolation. So many were busy watching the dikes and attempting to reinforce them that few could go to the rescue of their neighbors.

In Belgium three dead were re- ported from Antwerp and two from Poiders north of the city. Seven dikes in the Antwerp harbor area were smashed. A ship in drydock broke loose and in drifting away damaged the Norwegian ship Tri- cololr. The runaway ship finally as .

with a hand-made set he was the first man ever to give dem- onstrations here of wireless tele- grapiry as he displayed his equip- ment in the Kirk and told , his audience how it worked.

Island Odds And "Ends

-1.

"Hon. ahcrmsn Adams. who I5 Governor of New Hampshire, paid an unofficial visit to this Province in the summer of 1951. will be General Eisenhower's chief assist- ant in the White House. .Al.ready he has been called the "assistant president." He was one of the first to promote the "Ike for President” movement and was a key figure at the Republican can. "on and in the Presidential Campaign which followed.

He was in the Province during Exhibitionoweek and was intro- duced to the race crowd one even- ing by Premier J. W. Jones. He made a very pleasing down-to- earth speech on that occasion, and impressed his audience by his sincerity and his obvious freedom from pose or pretentiousrldss. Just prior to arriving at the exhibition grounds he had been trout fishing at Mr. Ben Taylor's pond at Gran- ville. He liked the Island very much indeed but had no luck fishing. However, he spent some very pleas- ant days on the golf course of the National Park and was very plena- ed with his accomodstiona at the Links Inn.

Unemployment Insurance bene- fits are being paid to 1740 people through the National Employment Office. Charlottetown, at the pres- ent time. More than 1.000 of these claimants are rural residents of Queens and King's County. known as "postal" claimants." The re- mainder-about 700-reside in Charlottetown or within a. radius of a few miles from the city. In terms of money it is estimated that al- most thirty thousand dollars is be- ing paid weekly.

The present total of claimants is the largest in the history of the local office. After the war, when out-of-work benefits were paid to returned men. the claims total was approximately as high,.but the soldiers were paid from a special government grant and not from the Unemployment Insurance Fund.

Officials of the,local office are of the opinion that the peak load of claims has not yet been reached, and that it. will climb beyond the 1800 mark by mid-February. Merchants interviewed in a number of rural communities report that benefit cheques are being cashed for groceries and other necessities. with regularity, and that the money is most welcome at this time of the year, with work actively,st its lowest point.

0 O. I

Though his name is always link- ed with hockey. "Murph" Cham- berlain. coach of The Islanders. considers his winter job a vacat- ion, from his Quebec farm at St. Sebastian, fifty-three miles from Montreal.

Farming is a serious business with "Murph", a question of dol- lars and cents. Just now it is hard to make a dollar says the Islanders boss, more especially since hog prices are about as low as the lea- gue standing of the Sydney Mil- lionairas.

Chamberlain gave a quick run- down of his farm activities to some local friends a. few days ago in these words:

"I have three hundred and fifty acres of land, and fifty dairy cattle. When the price was right I raised a lot of plgayas many as three hundred. some years. I employ as many as four men in summer time -lust now I have only one hired han ." .

"Throughout the summer I work from 6 s.m. until evening every day and I work hard-everybody mixed up with farming must-if he wants make a go of it."
