After looking through The Pat- riot, a few evenings ago, a lady remarked, "its getting more ridi- culous than ever." That's the truth!

We have now in our midst an army of political parsons who have no vote arid who pay no taxes in this province. They have come to take part in a political campaign against the Government and to tell us how we ought to vote. They tried this in Ontario and failed. Shall they win out here‘! We think not!

Our political prohlbitionists are fond of quoting authorities who have. spoken or written in support of prohibition. These authorities may have been quite sincere, and

The authority to guide up here at this juncture is the condition brought about in our own province and under our ,own eyes by prohibition.

SLENDER GIRLS

One of our health magazines is bemoanlng the craze for slender- negg that nan swept‘ over the coun- try. 1t is pointed out. and rightly too. that the growing girl needs all her strength as she approatvhefwoman- hood, and that if she cuts down on her food intake in an effort to keep “sllm." then not only her health at. present, but her whole future health is endangered.

"Observers are reporting in- creased tuberculosis rates among girls in early adult life. due large- ly to reduced vitality caused in turn by lack of proper diet."

Now what about this’! Unfortunately it is only too true. and our girls seem to rejoice at the loss of a. pound. or the reduction oi‘ one eighth of an inch from the ankle.

Now that the majority of our middle aged folks are too heavy. that overweight and protruding ab- domen are only too common, must be admitted, but middle aged folks have attained their growth and strength and are in a. sort ’of stat- lonaly condition, whereas "the functions of growing girls must ho maintained at all cost, and If instit- ficient nutriment is provided, the difference must be made up from such reserves as are available." And growing girls cannot afford to draw upon their reserves, be- cause every ounce may he needed in the days that are to come.

What is the result‘ of this under- eating?

These girls feel tired all the time. sore throats and colds are frequent and an otdlnary ailments hangs on. Why? Because tfood is necessary not only for heat and energy. but also for growth at this time.

This is t-he reason that the grow- ing girl or boypneeds its much, if not more food ban the parents. You sec the surface of the body is almost as gloat in extent as that of the parent, thus lequlritig as much food, and in addition there is the food necessary for growth. However, fortunately to be fash- ionable for the coming year, a little more weight must be carried, be- cause as mentioned before, Florenz Zelg.field states ‘that he does not want such “slendet" girls for his

two or three years.

This announcement will likely have. a greater effect upon our girls than all the talking that parents or health specialists can ever give. They will not be afraid to eat now.

CONSERVATION OF CANADIAN WILD LIFE

‘tThe wild animal life of 10-day is not ours to do with as we please. The original stock is given to us in trust fol tho benefiy both of the present and the future. We must render an accounting of this trust to those who come after its."

--"'l‘bc Sportsman's Code Etllics"-— ,

.\ great many of our citizens" have heard about the conservation‘ of wild life, but probably only a few oi‘ them could give the essen-l tlul reasons for this conservation, it has been estimated by competent‘, authorities that the annual loss tol Canadian agriculture through in- sect depredutions is $125,000,000 an- nually. and it is well known that birds are the chief natural factors which tend to keep Insects in

Ills Royal l-lig-hness the Duke ofl Connaugllt, when Governor General. of ‘Canada, took a very real interest? in the conservation of Canadian birds, and personally saw that nest- ing boxes were distributed through the grounds of Government House similar to those used by tho Ottnvfti improvement Commission ln Rock- cliffe Park and the Donllpion Gor- ernment at the Central ‘Experiment- al Farm.

It is impossible to oven approxi- mately estimate‘ the value of our wild animal life in dollars and cents ‘but it is well to remember that moose, for example, not only tur- nishes our Indians of the northern woods with meat but provides them with clothing as well, The buffalo within the limits of the last cent- ury llas been reduced from millions to practical extermination; total ex- termination ln fact if it had not been for the excellent wild anitnal| ‘conservation accomplished by the| Dominion Parks Branch of the De-' Dnrtment of the Interior.-

Canadlans have excellent reasons for being proud of their national parks, which comprise a"total arcs of nearly 9,000 square miles, and are absolute preserves for wild life; hunting being totally prohibited within their borders, and fishing al- lowed only under strict rcgulutiotis. Banff is especially an ideal spot for the animal lover, as excellent nut- ural paddocks have been construct- ed ,in this vicinity where buffalo, wapltl, mountain sheep, goat and deer are confined for those who wish to see these animals in ideal surroundings. An excellent motto for every hunter and sportsman is: ——"No species of animal should be destroyed at a greater rate than l0 can increase."

One of the most, encouraging signs at present ls the increasing number of nature books being pub- lished, and it is thought that our future citizens will recline more fully each year the priceless asset that “Wild Life Conservation" is to our country. '
