Jerry, however. was too jXClt0d to take great account of the change in her. or in refect that the modern girl. who repuises tnmiliarities with less indignation than her pi decessor. shares with ..n womankind a positive distaste for the offender who takes her too unprotcstingly at her word.

Here, just as he was abandoning belief in any fraud about the slim- Twnmbley claim, there arose a. co- incidence that revived every sus- ,..r-ion.

"Of course this man lived and mld long ago, I didn't mean that what I meant was: Are there any nf the family left around here?"

Rose shrugged her shoulders and k.,.-kg-d her legs. "I'm sure I don't irnow.” -

He did, while she watched with a smile entirely scornful. He found several other Twombley BNVCS but none more recent than the latter cighieen-hundreds.

Music and Singing

It is recorded that in' Denmark during the dark days of the oc- cupation the Danish were able to keep alive their spirit. and courage because of their love of music and song. Under the wa-tchtful eyes of their oppressors they flocked to the music festivals, and gathered in the public squares. and sang the folk songs of Denmark which was an important part of their train- ing in their Folk Schools.

In days gone by in 'our own Province the hard, harsh. con- ditions of pioneer. and post pioneer days. were made more joyous through the old fashioned "Ceil- idghs", when-old and young, men nnd women. Slllg tihe songs of the day. As time rolled on musical in- struments in the homes and musi- cal training became more common. Music teachers were available in almost every school district, and life was enlivened and sweetened through the development of com- munity concerts. splendid ohuroly choirs. and impromptu groups that gathered in the homm in the even- inrgs, Then the motor car and the radio changed things. and the value and intfluence of individual and group training almost completely clisappeared. What need. it was argued, is there for these old fashioned practises, and fihe em- ployment of music teachers. when it great variety of music and song may be secured by turning over a button. '

We are beginningio realize, how- cver. that a. mista c has been made. and that a musical training is one of the most important in- fluences in the building of oh,ara.oter, educational refinement. and the development of those characteristics rliat carry the in- dividual and a people through the deep waters of affliction and ad- varsity.

The Musical Festival Association of Prince Edward Island has in- itiated R splendid program of train- ing and encouragement in this Province. and the competitions that have been conducted evidence the fine response that has greeted these concerts. Emcoumgement is being given in the-hope that music and singing may take hold of the -hearts of our people. particularly the young. and bhmt a directed musical training may be under- taken in every Prince Edward Is- land community, The syllabus of the progi'a'.m for 1953 has been widely distributed to Women's Institutes. and other oigiminajfrlons. and also to a. large number of in- dividuals. Further copies will be mailed nn request. Leaders in the various town. villages. iand rural communities, are asked to promote an active interest in this work, study the pr , and, when pos- sible. enter year's Musical Festival. Music is an imvoortant part of our education. Let us develop it to the fullest possible extent. .

She bounced back to her neglect- ed busincss. leaving Jerry,g as she purposcd. in two minds about what to do.

Should he continue his quest of Lock- ing back. he decided that while Rose's denial of any such name's among the village's graves was inspired by her annoy- ance. it would be better to inquire among the elderly living than the oldest dead. .

W.C.T.U. NOTES

".ii.coHoi. AND sour WARMTH

to sponge fever patients?

Alcohg reduces the body warmth of fever patients, because it evap- orates quickly. and when any liquor evaporates it. absorbs heat.

2. Why does an alcoholic drink make a man feel warmer?

Alcoholic drinks make a person feel warmer because the alcohol passing into the blood causes the little blood vessels in the skin to become larger so that more blood wines to the surface of the body. The blood coming to the surface from the inside of the body warms the nerve endings of. the skin. That is why the drinker feels warmer all over. This is why there is seen a reddening of the skin. Npecially the nose, after drinking.

3. Is the body actually warmer?

NO. The blood is actually cool- ed. since more heat leaves the body through the warmed skin.

4. How do we know that?

The thermometer shows that the temperathre of the inside of the body is usually lowered in a man who has been drinking.

5. Why is not the person con- scious of this lowered tempera- ture inside of the body?

The drinker is not conscious of the lowered temperature of the blood because there are not as many nerve endings inside the body as there are in the skin.

It is then true that though a man feels warmed by imialcoholic

drink, the temperature of his body is actually lowered. 6. Is this difference between

the feeling of warmth and the actual lowered temperature of the body not dangerous when a per- son is exposed to cold.

Yes. "Persons using alcohol of- ten become dangerously chilled without knowing it. They there- fore often stay in the cold. wet and wind without seeking shelter or warm, dry clothing, or taking increased physical exercise for prcte-ction." (what. About Alcohol by Boben and Htsey. page 41.)

7. Why did Nansen refuse to take any alcohol with him in his Arctic explorations?

The last thing on explorer -of the Far North can afford to lose or allow to escape is heat. Nan- sen refused to have one drop of any intoxicating beverages on board his ship because "alcohol disturbs the delicate mechanism which regulates the heat of the body." and allows precious heat to escape.

8. Did other explorers in Polar regions ban alcoholic everages? Yes. sir T. E. Davl , F. R. S. said: "We, never used alcohol in any sledgmg expeditions in the Antarctic during eighteen months. sometimes a glass of wine was al- lowed on the birthday of one of the crew. It was noticed afterward that resistance to cold was tem- porarily lowered and shivering would be experienced." This is the verdict of actual experience. (See Alcohol and Human Life. by Weeks. Price 177.)

9. What is the scientific verdict on the effect of strong drink on body warmth?

These words of the Medical Ry. search Council committee contain that verdict: "We can therefore summarize the action of alcohol. First it causes that dangerous and deceptive warrn feeling. but...al- cohol does not produce any in- crease of internal heat Secondly. it deceives the lndlvid ...From the point of madntaining the deep temperature. the influence of al- cohol is wholly bad...the taking of alcohol during exposure is to be condemned."
