Modern Etiquette

For Tomorrow

IT is probable that some illicit, complicated or involved situation. based on bad judgment of alli- ances in the first place, could be brought to a satisfactory finale by some honest and forthright "get- ting down to casds" if these be dir- ected into the right quurtcrs. Cer- tain indiscreet, unprlncipled act- ion; or devices could be cleared by straightforward approach. It would take some clear thinking to save the day. The mind may be tricky on both sides.

If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. may have a situation calling for clear, honest and strategic thinking in order to bring treachery into the open. At that the mentality may be shrewd. but dubious and im- petuous rather than based on logic or rationalization, In the long run "policy" may be the wiser tactic to settle a perplexing situation.

A child born on this day may run into strange Oi' tricky situa- tions. best vanquished on it basis of ”dog cat dog." or compromise might solve certain vague and ob- vcure circumstances.

Q. is it all right for the guest who wins a bridge prize to open it immediately and display it to the other guests?

A. It is not only all right, but it is required. It would be an act of rudeness to your hostess if you refrained from opening the prize she has offered.

Q- 15 ll 811 right for one to ad- dress onels dentist as "Mr. Black." or should it always be Black"?

A. The dental surgeon is per- fectly entitled to be addressed as "Doctor." and it would be xi lack of courtesy to address him as ..M,,.

Q. When a man arrives fifteen minutes late at a dinner party, after the other guests have begun to eat. should all the men rise to greet him?

A. No. It is necessary that the host and hostess rise. but it would ge too confusing for all the men to

In so far as the Supreme Court of Canada is concerned, the word health is only a relative term. Be- ing in good health docs not neces- sarily mean that a person is ab- soluteiy free from every kind of ailment . . . The pioneers who settled in Prince Edward Island had. usually, two sources of in- come. fishing and farming. Dur- ing the first lean years before crops could be harvested, many families subsisted largely on eels and seals. both plentiful in the mouths of rivers and harbours about the Island. Eels were bar- reled and put aside for winter use. and the skins and oil of the seals found a ready cash market.

The spelling school of past gen- crations were attended by whole settlements who took part in the affair. Test matches were spelled out in the home districts, then ad- joining communities. were chal- lenged to test their mettle. some of the larger spelling matches drew persons for many miles around. Young and old joined in the spelling bee, and many became experts at the game. Excitement ran as high as it does today when baseball or hockey is played.

The first Church Camp Meet- ing took place during the summer of 1805 at I-lay Bay. The site was cleared of trees, large enough to seat those in attendance. A rude platform was set up for the min- ister, and knoils were built, upon which pine knots burned to light the evening meetings. Whole families attended these open-air meetings. They came in ox-carts. in canoes, on horseback, and on foot. Tents were erected, pro- visions were stocked, as the meet-

ings often continued for a week or more. . Potash, furnish- ed another source of income to

our pioneer parents. This they got from burned hardwood logs. The lye was boiled. leaving behind crude potash. which was shipped to Montreal where it brought a good price. .Beds in pioneer homes were sometimes heated by

warming pans, filled with hot coals. . . Plymouth, Mass., has its famous rock erected to the

memory of the Pilgrims who land- ed there in Colonial times. You'll find I similar rock in St. John, N. B.. which marks the spot where the Loyalists first landed in May of 1783. 82.8 per cent of the 34.- 805,000 families in the nation as of April, 1940, owned a radio. In 1943. the figure was raised to ninety

DC! cent.

The weekly attendance at movies in the U. S. A. and. Canada is be- tween 100 and 110 millions. .

During the twenties, newspaper circulation grew faster than did the population. . what happens when a strike effects the newspaper industry? Well, here's an example. "During the strike of the delivery force in N. Y. C. from July 2 to July 16, inclusive.

194.5, thousands flocked to the offices ' the papers, often stand- ing for several hours in queues

tr-it stretched for blocks in order to buy papers over the counter." According to data collected by the Bureau of Advertising, over-the- counter sales mounted from 246.- 114 on July 2. to 636.817 on July 11. By July 16. the figure rose to 1,- 256,624. Fact Finders, Inc.. was commissioned to interview a num- ber of men and women on the streets of New York to determine their attitude re the lack bf news- papers. The first question put was: "You probably "are getting more of your news now'from the radio"; Is radio completely "'ling your need for news?" only 17.3 per cent answered "Yes", and .'I answered "No". Further interviews carr'"' out on July 12, revealed if--t. 89.2 per cent answered "No". a against 76.6 per cent giving the negative answer on July 3 and 6.. when the strike was in its infancy.

AMPHETAMBINE SUCCESSFUL IN TREATMENT OF BAR- BITURATE INTOXICATION

Among the greatest drugs of modern times are the barbltal or barbiturate drugs. While their par- ticular use is us a sedative, sleep- ing oi- quietlng drug, they have re- volutionized the treatment of epil- cpsy. Formerly, watching the diet and the use of bromine was the treatment used, but unfortunately bromides do not control attzicks oi epilepsy. Today thousands of epil- eptics are kept entirely free of at- tacks and many thousands more are able to live practically normal lives by lhe use of phenobarbital and following it diei. The "epilepsy diet cuts down on all starch foods -potatoes, bread, sugar, pastries- and also on all liquids-water. W3- coffce. milk, soft and hard drinks- but increases the fat foods-bub ter, cream. egg yolk. fat meats. However, like many other good things, because they are so good. so effective, many individuals take phenobarbital reizulai-1y to bring on sleep with the result that deaths or dangerous results occur from use of large doses. And be- cause the sleep is so sound, drugs are now used to counteract pois- oning or intoxication by Phemb barbital that have a "wakeful" effect. Among these drugs are amphetamine and nikethamide. In a report from Copenhagen in the Journal of the American Medi- cal Association. Dr. J. Riishedc states that during the first ten months of the period reported on. 61 patients with acute barbiturate intoxication were treated with nikethamidc; in the following 21 months amphetamine was applied as n stimulant in 132 patients. The rest of the treatment was the same in the two groups -- empty- ing the stomach, stimulating bowel action with prostigmln, preventing pneumonia, injection of fluids and treatment for shock.

of the 61 patients lrcaied with nikeiliamide 27. or 44 per cent died; of the 132 treated. with am- phetamine 12. or 9 per cent died. The course of the patients treated with apheiamine tbenzedi-ine sul- fate) was quiet. less capricious. and more favorable in all respects: the side effects are fewer and less important.

Amphetamine is. therefore. con- sidered for superior to nlketharn- ide in the treatment of acute bar- biturate intoxication.

Amphetamine is the drug used in the treatment of alcoholism and also of obesity (overwetght).

Iy An Island Farmers Wile

Coming to our round these morn- ings, it is to exciaiin over the con- ti t fine unreasonable weath- er, which instead of Winter's own brand, is I foretaste of Spring. Mild and lovely. It may be calm, wrapped about in a delightful silence wherein every twig and branch is suspended silently, or with a light breeze of day already stealing in from the hills. And as we go about our choring -- or sit down to the milking in the pom- fortablc stable, it is to consider that farm-folks are fortunate in- deed. in being able to attend to

of snow or the chill of frost. And

. as it is at present at Alderlea.

James is sure to comment at such a time: "Isn't it ii blessing for us that the glass doesn't dip. Ellen. It wouldn't be too warm right: here if it didl" So we go to our various interests. wondering if perhaps in spite of our expectations to the contrary, January may not con- tinue to use us kindly.

Rob's truck remains near the highway. while ours. a sister ma- chine, though not so ambitious, stays on the farm, its movements restricted usually by every snow- fall. Again however. it maintains a line of communication with the outside world - to the mill-with a grist to be crushed, to Rob's or as far as the other farm on some mission or another, and of course to a corner-store.

She rode safe in her father's arms. on the logs that were be- ing drawn from the lumbering to th. till today, behind the new mare, every day now proving her worth at the hauling. Beneath sunny skies, they moved, the claw- ing of crows, music now, drifting down from the uplands. And catch- ing the sheen of the presently open water of the mill-pond, as it shone between its white banks, we recalled the sight and sound of happy skaters there at this time of year in the years now gone.

0 U 0 . Jamie "can't find much of a sheet of ice anywhere about the farm" but contents himself learn- ing to skate on a small place close to the buildings.- The younger lad is his boon companion and some- times Karoiyn Joins the two there.
