It is the primary importance] for the Christian disciple of charity, in its fullest and most comprehen- Iive sense. _ The comprehensive social plann- ing of the modern welfare State may have produced in some people the feeling that responsibility to- wards their fellow-men has been in] large measure removed, and no’ loiibt in some particulars this is zrue. There is always however, the. langer in such an organization of iociety that the springs of com- iassion will be dried up. I The apzeal, for example, of suf-. lering humanity as represented by the voluntary hospltas; the con- lition of the aged poor, the lonely. ind the incapscitated—these and iiany other claims upon compass- ‘on may ea=ily lose their fo"mer mignancy when so much of their naterial, refief has become the 'esponsibility of the Slate. The Christian needs constantly lo be on his guard lest he become inobservant of suffering and un-l responsive to the deeper human needs. “Thy neighbour," as the parable indicates, is any human being who needs the help that his fellow-man can give; and the or- ercise of compassion is by no means to be limited to the giving of help that is purely material. To love one‘s neighbour as one- self is to be deeply concerned about his needs—spiritual as well as mat- erial—as about one‘s own. 'I‘hewel- fare State, efficient and humane though it may he, cannot in the nature of things provide that ele- ment of personal sympathy which in times of suffering and distress. can bring new courage and hope to the sufferer. Such an ordering of society may appear on the surface to meet man's varied needs, but inevitably it leaves untouched the deeper springs of his life. and, indeed, may help by over-concentration on the material to create a void of whose nature he is not fully conscious- a. void which can be filled only as he recognizes the spiritual nature of his need and of his potential re- §0lll'C€S- "Go, and do’ thou likewise," is our l’.nrd's summing up of the les- son of the parable. Let your com- passion reach out to those in need, whether friend or foe. To "pass by: on the other side" is to commit the cardinal sin against charity. no matter how such indifference may, be excused. or rationalized. And» since the commands of Christ al-5 whys convey the enabling power to obey, obedience to them is never beyond a man‘s capacity. ,!MwmM Morning Smile 5 Diflerent He asked the lady for her hand; She yielded to his wishes: But now that they are wed she sets His hand to washing dishes!

Here's a Tipsy Tip for home- makei-s—a tipsy pan on the range is both unsafe and inefficient. Be- fore buying a saucepan or frying pan. make sure that it stands steady on a flat surface and that the handle is not so heavy as to throw the pan off balance. An unsteady pan can tip and spill hot food or water, does not cook food evenly and wastes heat. Look for the pan that "hugs the stove", and has a close fitting lid. And still more talk about pota- toes in the United States—severa‘. shippers in Maine have adopted the new consumer grading system, making easier potatmshoppiiig for the housewife. Under the new grading is United States housewife may buy potatoes marked U. S. Grade A. Medium to Large. These potatoes will range from 2 1-4 to 4" in diameter. most of ihe bags have a mesh window in the front to allow lfer to see what these potatoes are like without handling them. Other Grades are: .U. S. Grade A Sm.all—-ranging from ‘/2 to 21/. inches; U. S. Grade A Me- d‘ium——from 2‘/4 to 3 inches; and U. S. Grade A Large—fro-m 3- in 4 inches. Thus if she wants small potatoes for boiling or large po- tatoes for baking, the United States housewife can make her own choice in size. Could be that Island shippers may take this iip from their neighbours in Maine? Have you ever wondered why the same nationally advertised brand of coffee is cheaper in the United States than in Canada? In Canada we are dependent on the same source, we pay a duty of two cents per pound plus ten cents dollar exchange. plus 8 per cent Sales Tax, which causes higher prices for the same coffee. We can't do much about the duty and dollar exchange, but the Cana- dian Association of Consumers has asked the Federal Government to remove the 8 per cent sales tax on coflfee and is reiterating its request that the "hidden" 8 per cent tax be removed from all food products on which it is lev- ied.

This information is encouraging each year. because. while the actual cause of apparently normal ‘cells acting in such a disorderly manner is unknown, what cancer is not is gradually becoming known. This information is worth much to everyibody. The other valuable knowledge is that early cancer is curable by the present methods of treatment—surgery, X-ray, and radium. In “The Handbook on Cancer for the Medical Profession," issued by the Canadian Medical Association to all Canadian physicians, a sim- ple but complete definition of can- cer 152 A CBHCEF l5 8 mass Oif new cells which multiply without con- trol .and which invade surround- ing tissue spaces and in some cases the lymphatics and blood vessels. All other biological or body processes have a meaning; cancer has no meaning whatever. Every oidiiiary cell in the body has a twofold job to do: (1) its function in the body and (2) to multiply or reproduce itself. In cancer the idea of reproduction Is present. but the cancer cell has no use, no function to perform in the body. 'IT.1ere is just a purposeless and never-ending cell division or muz- tiplylng of cells. Carrcer cells may be tenmed the gangster cells of the body. Unfortunately, in their early stages the cancer cells cannot be recognized as they so closely re- semble normal cells, but fortun- ately. even in their early stages.‘ cells that are cancerous or likely to become cancerous are recognized by their behavior. These cells grow in a disorderly manner and have no boundaries; they will grow in such numbers that they destroy every other tissue in their path. While it is known that iiritaticn will “start" a group of cells to be- come cancer, it is not known when causes the cancer cells to “con- iiin-ue' to grow. It is this continu- ing to grow that is the object of research in all laboratories. Until the cause of continuous multiplying of cancer cells is dis- covered, we must have all "sus- picious" symptoms investigated. * KxVVmX$ Household ’:rapBool<i./ By Roberta Lee : China.

If a man's married life is a disappoint merit. he has a thousand outside interests and distractions to take hll mind off his disiiluslon. Another reason is that business has taught a man to regard a contract as more binding than it ever is to a'wo man. and I0 he is a better sport about sticking to his bargain than lhl is.
