HEALTH TOPICS " Thousands of Lives Saved by Education Canada gains thousands of n&w Dltlzens each year through a public ]ie«Mh campaign. Children live now who would have died in their first year of life had they been born a few years ago, vital statistics Just published reveal. Some Idea ot the strength of the 'lost generations" of former years Is gained from a study of pensions and national health department sta^ ttotlca. In 1926, out ot every 1,000 Canadian children, 101 died in their ffliwt year of life. The latest figures ayalhible show that in 193S the rate bad been cut to 63 deaths for every 1,000 births. HEALTH EDUCATION "Interpreted in round figures," •aid Dr. Ernest Couture, the de- partment's director of maternal and child hygiene, "the foregoing rates signify that in 193S we lost 10,916 babies, Including those still- bflm. As to the reduction from 101 to 68 In the mortality rate, it also •hows that each year we have aav- •d 13,000 lives." Improved public health facilities •od public education to the need of I iroper medical care and sound hy- , glene are partly responsible for the , vast improvement, the department IksUeves.

Focal Points of Danger in Southeaitern Europe ^""^^^ Extension of the war to the Mediterranean last week, appeared more imminent as Allied and Italian naval forces gathered at strategic points prepared for instant action. The above map shows the danger points in Europe's uneasy southeast comer. Turkish troops were report- ed to be massing on the Greek and Bulgarian frontiers (1) while Nazi forces were reported marching near Yugoslavia and Hungary (2), and shipping tanks into Slovakia. Italian troops were also on the move (3) and had their fleet stationed off the Dodecanese Islands (4), Russian troops were reported near Hungary (6). Allied fleets had taken up stations in the Aegean (6). Hungary was busy rounding up spies (7). • HAVE • YOU HEARD? It was with considerable concern that the fishing club noticed that Smith, their champion teller ot the best fishing stories, seemed to have forgotten his old habit after his marriage. At their annual dinner they con- fidently expected to hear once more the story of his three-foot trout, but never a word came from Smith. The chairman decided to get to the bottom of the mystery. "Smith, old boy," he said, "tell us about the trout." Smith shook his head. "I've given op telling fishing stories," he said. "Whatever for?" "It's like this," said Smith, with an air of gloom. "Every time I staxt- ed to tell one at home my wife gave me some wool to hold." Fair Young Miss â€" "Officer, these men are trying to flirt with me. Make the little one stop. The honeymoon was on the wane, and he thought it was time to get down to earth. As they faced e«oh other across the supper-table, he said: "Darling, this steak tastes just like burnt leather." "Sweetheart," she murmured In a soft voice, "what strange thing* you've eaten in your life!" Friend: "How's business?" Scissors Grinder: "Fine! I've never seen things so dull!" Although It was Wiggins' fh'at reception his buttling was perfect. "Stand erect and announce the name of every person who comes to the door during the afternoon," Mrs. Van Ritzer had instructed him. Wiggins had been doing elegant- ly. All were present now but the guest of honor. He should arrive al- most any time. All eyes focused on Wiggins as he paused to announce the guest of honor. A hush fell over the big reception room. This was the gieat moment ot Mrs. Can Ritzer's most formal affair. Wiggins cleared his throat and called In a firm voice: "Mister Yeagley, the Fuller Brush Man." Grandfather: "You don't know what It Is to be old and bent." Grandson: "No, but I know what it is to be young and broke."
