Yet the Canadian publication indus- try can boast of 10 daily newspapers, 17 weekly newspapers, three religious Periodicals and one magazine, all in active operation, that had their be- ginnings earlier than the middle of last century. That makes 31 pub- lications, each of which is 87 years old or older. And if the honor roll were to be- gin at 60 ,there would be 204 pub- lications that would qualify, 199 of them being in Eastern Canada, the part settled first. To-day there are many media available to advertisers, but none with the long and distin- guished record of useful service, both to advertisers and the public, that is the boast of the press of Canada.— Sarnia Observer.

The first act of his Government was to give $100,000 as a Christmas present to the unemployed. Then he originated a salary-sharing plan among his ministers under which his own salary was reduced to £800 a year plus £200 for entertainment expenses, which so far he has not drawn. When Mr. Savage arrived in New Zealand he only had a few pennies in his pocket, There is wisdom as well as benevolence in his dark eyes. —Overseas Daily Mail. A Study Of Importance Nutrition Plays Big Part In Promot- ing Health And Preventing Disease Although a recent Introduction to public health service, nutrition’s role is already important, Prof. Grant A. Fleming, Dean of Medicine at Mc- Gill University, told delegates who were in Montreal for the second an- nual convention of the Canadian Dietetic Association. . Addressing the gathering on “the part the dietitian plays in public! health,” Prof. Fleming said nutrition plays an important part in the pre- vention of disease and promotion of health—two main functions of pub- lic services. Efficient public health service can postpone fully one-third of all deaths, he said. “Mental and physical health are so closely bound -together as to be almost inseparable, and both of them are essential to economic welfare. Physical health can be promoted by the dietitian by dissemination of in- formation on use of food for health’s sake. Advantages of a balanced diet, and properly prepared food are obvious, but it is the dietitian’s duty to spread that knowledge.” Isolation Is Impossible It is as hard for a nation to be truly isolated in the world to-day as it is for a man to be a hermit at Forty-second and Broadway states the New York Post. The fact that a man named Adolf Hitler took power in Germany and started an arma- ments race may affect the business of a real estate man and builder in Queens and the plans of a low-cost housing enthusiast in slum areas.
