This is even stranger when one considers that the ordin- ary Greek had no belief in an afterlife as we know it except l! l -vcry miserable unfeeiing existence among shadows and darkness.

Leontichus found thee hercdaad on-tbc beach. and buried thee tomb. weeping for his own uncor- tain_ life: for he also rests not. but travels over the sea like a gull." Another interesting "fact about these epitapha is the large number devoted to the deaths o1’ pet animals, birds. and even insects, to the magpie. the partridlv. the swal- low. the cat, the dog, the horse, the locust, the ant, and so on. Such Poems in the mouth of a modern poet might sound slightly ridicul- ous .but in the Anthology they hll/c almost as much pathos and beauty as lnything in it. Somehow throulh artificiality they achieved sincerity. “Within this urn Democrltus in tears; His cicada has laid; hushed is ach win 0 I. Its delicate songs beneath’ the blue-paved sky No more through all the sorrow- ing house shall ring” Another thing to be noticed about these epitaphs is the Creek's love of country or. as I should say, of his own city, for the Greek knew no rather-land save his own self-ruling and selfcontained city. No ancient people travelled mom extensively than the Greeks yet like modem Englishmen none yearned ao much for the familiar surroundings of the ‘place where they were born and where alone A second sun, the intrepreter of gods. He through whcme ageless mouth the whole world seeks For voice, lies here in dust, and all round Is hushed save for the seals eternal sound." I Life being to the Greeks the lonly certain hopa they express Igreat pity for those who'were taken from it untimely, for child- ren or young brides. or young mothers in childbirth. The follow- ing are typical:- “Cleodicus, your golden hair was still Uncut, but three short years above the hill ‘Illiedmoon her silver chariot had e And yet your parents grieved be- side your tomb, Knowing in shadowy unknown Acheron The cold white blossom of your youth shall bloom" ' O O I "With loves ripe harvest wait- ing to be plucked, Your tender eyes, Patrophila, have shut; The magic profiling of your lips. , your ly-re ' And song are stil‘ed; your wine cup empty stands. Thou Hades, too, inflamed with love's mad fire, Has snatched our lovely friend from out our hands. The Greek feeling for irony is often expires-ed in the mourning of parents who have survived the deaths of their children, as in this short poem:- I "On Melitrvs early tomb Nico, the aged one, has bound the rose Hades. was this a. righteous doom?" A great number of the poems are epitaphs on those who were drowned at sea, This brings us to a rather peculiar fact about the Greeks. Although they were the, greatest seafaring people of anci- ent times, with the exception of the Plioenlcians. yet their poets did not love the sea as our English poets do. They did not have our sense of the wonder or beauty of this use- less and monotonous mass of water. To them s. spring of water waa ever beautiful and they wrote dozens of poems describing their loveliness. Not so the ocean. It was never "dear" to them save as a symbol of their sea-girt home. The average of a‘l the epithets applied to it may be summed up in the- word "perfidlous", as in the follow- ing, "And thee too, Clenoridea. homesickness drove to death when thou didst entrust thyself to the wintry blasts of the south wind. That faithless weather stayed thy journey and the wet seas washed out thy lovely youth." To them also shipwreck is a symbol of the un- Advrticlng Rates-Payable in Advance Central Guardian ltenll.

Over and over is heard the complaint of those who have been buried in a. strange land. Herc is tho beginning of a poem expressing this feeling, “Far from the Italian land I lie, far from my country Tarentum and this is bit- terer to me than death. Such L1 the life of wanderers. ill to live—-". Another man is buried "in Spain at the end of the world, lo far from Iesbos" and others buried in Persia lament as follows, "We are Eretrians from Euboca and we lie near Susa, alasi how far from our own land." ‘rhcre seems something very loveable about the Greeks when they speak like this, a. bond which bridges the span that lies between us across the centuries. Ona whole book is composed of poems descriptive of dcdications to the different Greek gods. Gener- ally tha Greek would leave k pre- sent in the tempYe of the god or at the foot of his image in a way- side shrine. As a rule the gift was for some imagined kindness done him by I- bartlcular deity but often however- he would leave the Rift o» condition that the god ful- filled his wishes, in which cue he promised to brim? additional and renter glib. In fa~t in one poem the goddess Artemis is even gently but firmly rebuked for her neglig- ence. The dedication: are made by Dccpie from all walks of life-hunt- ters, herdsmen. musicians. lovers, sailors, fishermen, uoldsmiths, victors. at the games. soldiers, and 0W1! by a young boy who has Brown too old for his‘ toys. Often the dedication is composed of the inprremenis of the person's trade or ,_ ‘assion or in the case of a hunter of his spoils, or it may be anything from the rib of a. sea monster to a salt cellar. The follo- wing are typical:- "Rest, slender spear, upon the long White column, holy to Panom. phacan Zeus; Your brazen point is blunt with age, you too, .

Of the poems descriptive of works of art many are interest- ing as showing the high place in which the artist .was held by the Greeks.

"Think not that Diodcrus chased This little Satyr on the cup; He only lulled him to a. silver sleep; 80m!’ or you shall wake him up" The Greek of course felt deeply the Intimacy between daily life and art and the. one was as signi- ficant to him as the other. one V917 091110101 Poem expresses this feeling:- "The golden stars an: quiring in the wast.

Even in the epilepiu it ia not lacking, as in this on a man who died of the gcutz-“Iha that surprises me moat ia that hawho formerly walked with other people's feet managed in one night to run all the way to Hades." As you observe the Greek idea of hum- our was often a bit grim. In fact the Greeks were more like the French than ouraeivaa. ‘lb than wit, even when it was bar-ch and biting. was the spice of life. though hum- our- as expreaaed in fun and joi- lity is scliom to be found in their writings.

However there is ‘something magni- ficient in such lines as these of one of the last poet. in the Anthology: —"Whan I am dead mav earth be mingled with fire. It matters not to me. for with me all ia well." The fo‘lowing illustrate the Greek sense of humour:- "But two swift cups of. liquor Taken straight have washed from US Our Erasixcrlus The dean hard drinker." one Pl-Iere lies limronis. gray-haired soak, Who sponged 'a. sea of wine; Upon her tomb her sign, An Attic cup, is set; She has but one regret, Not that aha left her loving family broke, But that the wine cup isn't wet " O O O "Look how the wine trips old Anacreon. .

I5—(O.P.)-As contrasted with the continuing high rate of maternal mortality for the Dominion, the report on Maternal Mortality issued by the Canadian v Welfare Council cites records of in- dividual provinces and institutions which have attacked this problem with remarkable results. Outstanding is the record of the Province of Manitoba, which, fac- ed with a maternal death rate in 1929 of 6.8 per 1,000 births, had al- most cut that rate in two in the course of five years, with but 3.8 deaths per 1.000 births in the pre- liminary statistics of 1964: ‘and that of the province of Saskatchewan which had reduced its high rate of 7.1 in'i026 to 4.4 in 1084. These remarkable rcrults were achieved in a. five-year period of unusual hardship and economic distress on the prairies. The significant record is also cited of the Victorian Order of Nurses which gives prenatal and confinement care to more than i8:- 000 mothers annually with a rate for that large group of only 1.0 per 1,000 deaths in i088, and 1.8 in Among the hospitals whose rec- ords are markedly low are the my- ai Victoria Maternity I-iclpita‘. in Montreal, with a rate o! 2.5 mater- naPdeaths in 1034-35. and the Burnside Maternity Clinic of the Toronto General Ho: pital which has not had more than one death an- nually in recent years. and in some years none at all, with approxim- ately 500 mafcrnity patients served each year. The Rad Croce w _tpost hospitals located on Canada's fron- tlers of settlement have also main- tained ln exceptionally low record of maternal deaths. Maternal deaths resulting from the increased strain of pregnancy upon women already luflcring from diseased conditions or generally im- paired health are variously ranked in the several studies from which evidence has been compiled in the Councils report. Placed as high as 1B or 20 per cent in some studies. among causes of maternal deaths, these conditions include heart and kidney disease. tublrculosis and cle- fecis and deformities which may “d have been caused by childhood ric- kets and malnutrition. Failure of the mother to seek early prenatal attention and fail- ure of the physician to make all the routine test: which constitute‘ an adequate examination allows many fatalities to occur which might have been prevented by earl- ier treatment. Cohceded to be almost entirely preventable, and dreaded npt only as a killer of mothers but also for the-permanent injuries to health suffered by thousands of those who survive, septic infection has shown little decline in theac recent years in which medicine has made such strides in the contra‘. of infec- tion genorally. The report says its continuance can only be ascribed to carelessness and neglect to take precautionary measures: ‘ ‘ on the part of the patient hercelf. her ‘ulband and members of her household in observation of careful meuum of , soual hygiene and other considerations that will pio- tect he‘: from infections in the last weeks of pregnancy. Age of the mother d the in- cidence of pregnancy are of course well known factor: in uiatarnal deaths. Mortality is higher in the first pregnancy, and after the fifth prcgnancy. m- safest age in child- "- birth is the ulna-year period of 20 to 29 years. These factors suggest the significance of economic and social factors tending to defer the age of marriage and lower the gen- eral birth rate. War Clouds Cast.
