PEOPLE, who i have become so used to .good communications by telegraph, tele-. phone and radio, came : to realize again during the five , days this week that the wire's were down in the '. lower Skeena Valley owing to numerous trees blowing down over the line just bow jnuch we are still ; dependent upon our telegraphic ser-; vice. Digby radio was pressed into service to handle urgent commercial messages but, otherwise, we were practically completely cut off. We had no long distance telephone com- - munication, we were off the radio network, newspapers were unable to get their press dispatches. Business was slowed up and we felt very much cut off. We vStill depend very much on tlie lines of wire which these many years have been "the backbone of our speedy communication with the outside world. Like many other things to which we. have come to, become accustomed and take for igranted, we only had to be without them for. a few .days to realize how much we should appreciate them. INFANT MORTALITY "THOUGH THIS COUNTRY has I made good progress in providing the things necessary to full health, there are still too many Canadians iH, too many babies dying, too many s deaths in motherhood,: and too great van attitude of 'let someone else do ' it' even in regard to caring for one's i own health," says the November : Monthly Letter of The Royal , Bank ; of Canada. : "Every year the birth of -a baby : is of concern; to, about 300,000 homes i in Canada, which means that evory day it is the event of the year (for H00 families," the article' points out, j and then, continues in part: "In the ! four years 1938. to 1011 .5713G babies Poison Treatment Gets Rid of Moles LONDON W) British moles, being blind .as moles, still are : suckers for the poisoned .worm treatment.

CANADIAN PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS CANADIAN DAILY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Living Memorials THROUGHOUT .MANY COMMUNITIES, groups-.see.kjng money, for their particular projects that are worthy but definitely for .utilitarian pur-poses,;have appealed. to the emotions of people: by (designating; their objective as a "Living Memorial" to the heroic dead. There is a question ,of whether any utilitarian; project can ever he a fitting memorial to the heroes ,of our country. What is the purpose of . a memorial? And will that purpose for which it will be dedicated be forever kept in mind, not for this generation alone but for generations to come? The purpose of such a memorial is to reverence the memory of the heroic dead; to recall their epic deeds; to instill a feeling of . reverence in our hearts;; to inspire courage and faith and loyalty; to cause all who pass by to pause and silently pray for peace. Its meaning will be felt in the . emotions and . is spiritual.. Its purpose .and meaning are seen and felt in the cenotaphs; 'in the Peace Tower, especially when the bells are tolling, and jn the room kept sacred for the B.ook of Remembrance ; in statues and monuments .of bronze an,d marble or jn the plain cairns and simple tables of many. a. small town; in an ever-lasting flame; in a painting, in a poem or in a song. But it is jdo.ubtfnl jf the purpose and meaning of a memorial to those Who. died that we might live be kept clear and long remembered jn any Utilitarian structure, however useful it might be. Whether jt js a library, an auditorium, a civic centre, a hospital, a park, , a gymnasium or n home for veterans or the aged oi; anything else that a . city.ncedsi or wants, none of these would for long be remembered for .other than the use of which it was put. The purpose of its dedication as a memorial would soon be forgotten. TJie materialistic concept has gone far beyond its original doctrine applied to . history. It, has unconsciously penetrated into our minds so deeply as to affect .our thinking and actions on matters that ,are affairs of the emotional and spiritual part of human beings. under ,one year of age, died in. Can-, ala, and 3,806 Canadian mothers died giving' birth. This is a greater .death toll than was suffered by Canada in her fiehtine: forces in all four years of the first world war. Monu- j ments. in every city and hamlet show I that we were sadly aware of the war I sacrifices, but there is no general ! teeling displayed of our sense of the heavier losses on the home front through the death of many infants and mothers who could have been saved. 1 "The record has improved over the past 25 years, .of course, but are we content with. it? Those who point with pride to the reduction in infant ' deaths from 102 per thousand live births in 1921 to 55 in 1944 should go on to compare this with the record in other countries. jHere are: the figures; Sweden 29;' New Zealand 29; Switzerland 38; Australia 40; Netherlands 40; the United States 40; England .and Wales 49; and Canada 55.

The rate jn Canada is high, but wherever adequate services are provided and taken advantage of the death rate is only half that of Canada as a w.hole. The point of pressing interest :1s tjiat, according to the report ,of the Advisory Committee on Health Insurance issued in 1943. 'It is considered that by the adoption of adequate maternal services the death rate could be more than cut in hajf.'"

Guarneii was a young man when Stardivari was at his .best. These two are considered the greatest of all makers of violins. They did not work together but they each held the secret which makes one violin so- different from another, thVirs superior to all .others. Some claim .the dlffarence lies In the varnish applied but, generally, authorities attribute the minority to a knowledge .of tones and overtones. This knowledge they skillfully wrought Into fine old instruments which they left to posterity; formed with the front. and the back of exact she and shape. thickness, ,so that they toth resonate in Just the same way to the same note.

In fact, it reminds us of the little villages nestled along the coast of southern France," he said. "We look forward to returning some time perhaps nCxt year when we shall do more In 'Joint solo' work for tha people of Prince Rupert."
