Tomorrow is Tag Day for the Blind, org-

anized by the \\'oiiieii‘s Auxiliary for the Blind.

There should be a generous response to this

call upon our sympathies and pockets, for we

must ever bear in mind:

"A blind man is a poor titan, and blind a poor man is;

For th: ioriiici‘ sccth no iiizui, and the latter no man sees."

Tomorrow, however, the good ladies of the Auxiliary are carrying out the scriptural in- junction of "being eyes to the blind."

It was ever thus politiszilly. Hon. Onesime Gagnoti, Quebec Provincial Treasurer, says that the National Union government in Quebec has sufficient “financial information" to prove

“without fear of being contradicted" that the recent financial statement issued by _l. A. Mathewson, treasurer of the Liberal atlminis- tratiou which was (lcfcated in general elections August 8, "is absolutely contrary to the facts and indicates a complete absence of responsi- bility for a statesman.” f-Ie adds: “It is the duty of the government, before establishing the 1'€ftll'lllS and improvements it intends to itiake, to establish the real financial situation left by the Liodbotit administration. To accomplish this task, we have -acqttircd the services 0f an in- dependent accountant whose competence and qualifications cannot be ticnicd." i i fi IF The general practitioner, writes Surgeon LL-Cmdr, Little, is essentially the confidant of his fellow men, with all that is implied in tiie word (confidant). 'l‘hat menus that he gathers to himself a. reptitation for integrity‘, under- staiidiitg and healing skill. “lit the field of internal itiedicinc he must be a good diagnosti- cian. - - - He has to lcarri the present limits of his proved knowledge and be quick to seek as- sistance front his older and more experienced trollezigues. - - - .\lany a case will baffle and weary him. The responsibility of these must be shared." The writer commends the practice of "the fine old custom" of the apprentice- partuersliip, and tirge that’ general-practition- ers kccp zibrcztst of the rcsezirch and other work going on iii the medical field. "lt is a pity," he says, “that general titactitioiters practically never study the broad aspects of community dis- ease in their own locality." In conclusion lie suggests that the naturalist, the poet, the his- torian, the socialist and others have something to say to the general practitioner. Humanity in all its phases is ivithin the study of the family doctor; post-graduate study never ends and should ncvcr be allowed tn iell, he emphasizes. Y Mr. Hugh Dalton, President of the British Board of Trade, says he can provide utility furniture for three people. exclusive of carpets and crockery, for about $175. Furniture m- cliides a dotiblc bed, a single bed, a dresser

ivitli mirror, a dining table, two armcliairs aitd six small chairs, '.l'liese furnishings would cost about $600 in nonutility furniture, if they could be obtained at all in wartime. People who quali- fy for utility furniture have first call on the supplies of utility sheets, price-controlled blan- kets and utility mattresses. This is arranged by means of “priority dockets." The people who can apply for these dockets are people whose homes have been bombed; people setting up house because they have young children or are expecting a child; couples married on or after September i, 1939; couples who propose to marry within three months; and people who nccd a bed for s growing child. People whose bedding has been ‘destroyed by bombing may also "apply for dockets, even if they have not lost their furniture. These goods are not ration- ed. Only about one quarter of the total pro- rltiction of bedding will be reserved for docket

holders; the greater part will be sold iii the shops iii the ordinary way to the general pub- no -.*'II"

CITY WEIGH SCAIES

Shy-At our Council meetlriit held September 11 it WESJIIB op-

ion the Council that fhere should be u further meetlna on Monday, Sept. 18. with the coal dealers, interested citizens and the Council, on the matter of the in- stallotion of scale houses and weigh scales. ‘

As this matter is certainly of vital importance not only to the coal dealers but to the house- holders or consumers of coal and coke, I believe the time has come for those citizens who feel that this is certainly a move in the interests of the public. to attend this meeting.

If we are going to sit. and lis- ten to the "cons" of the aren- ment (that ls the coal dealers) than we should also give the “]JI‘CS" a chance as well. It \\‘lll be the taxpayers‘ money that will erect these scale houses. and ivhilc a portion of the taxpayers’ money would also come from these respective coal dealers. nev- ertheless it is tiie ninety-five per cent 01' more of tiie coiistiniors who will also have to pay for their erection.

I believe the consumers feel that the City Council 1f tlicy erect the scales, will be making n step in tiie right direction, and lii eon- scqtieticc their expressed qhllllilll at. this meming will go fur tti dc- ciding the issue.
