"School lunch work is being car- ried on inimany schools ail over the Island. Girls nutrition clubs and girls cookina clubs are also functioning.

“Mrs. ileddin carries on an ex- perlment with stats - one group fed on whole wheat bread and milk. the other group fed on white bread and tea. School children are very interested in this as it shows such definite results obtained by proper food.

Homemaker i Service

"A new Red Cross Service lgnown as the Homemaker Service seems to be growing in popularity both in Bummer-side and (fhariottetown. continued Mrs. Jones. The Home- maker is an experienced woman who is capable of taking the moth- ers place in the home, preparing meals ‘for the family. and caring for the children when the mother is ill. This woman comes in at 8:00

“Nutrition is not a subject that one can make a very definite re- port on because the effects of Nu- trition Services. for the most part. are not immediate. but rather. are far reaching, and slow in showing results. It is a servica that co-or- liinates with the other services - forms a background. as it were for activities that lead to better~ liv-

ing.

"rho Red Cross with its wonder- ful record in helping with war needs. in time of peace is anxious to ntokt- Canada's health more sta-

“Recruiiing for the various war services has shown clearly the need for better health among our young citizens. More intelligent eating is now recognized as an important starting point.

"The Red Cross. continued Mrs. Jones. aims to make people —chil- dren anti grown-ups —- conscious that the simple. easy way to be healthy is by eating some 0f the essential foods three- times every dly — and. above all, to make the belt use of our own homegrown food which is so rich in iron, iod- ine. phosphorus. etc. _

‘Before any physical fitness plln. or any wid; spread. elaborate health plan was organized. the Canadian Rod Cmss was at work trying to make healthier citizens tnroush its Junior‘ Red Cross and its nutrition services.

"This year Mrs. William Reddin. Hits Red Cross nutritionist. is un- dertaking a demonstration project with a group of nine adjoining school districts. The idea is to work lfllfllflifl)’ with the people of this arcs through the schools, Women's institutes. Women‘: Inisliiutes

Girls Clubs. Junior Farmers groups and by individual contact to estab-

lish better food practices," said the speaker. . Of course, the first question tha

comes to mind is "do their (and practices need improvement"? To answer this question in part. a pre- liminary survey was made of the 911N118 habits of the school child- ren. The supervisor of I-Iolru, Ecgn. omics for the Province, Miss And. erson. and the Red Cross nutri. ilonlsl. Mrs. Reddin. interviewed each child over eight years of age. was a specially Dmpared ques- tlonnairc. The children were also Weighed and measured. It was found that only about one-quarter of the children are getting vitamin D regularly. and it was also found that whole wheat. oatmeal, and also vegetables and dairy products —-milk. cheese. etc., are not being featured in the regular diet. School lunches carried from home con- sisted mostly of white bread and pickles or jam. and various cakes.

Distribute Vitamin “D" Capsules

"Through the National Red Cross, Vitamin D capsules‘ have been procured and are being dis- tributed to all school age children ln this area at the very small cost of 8 cents a month per child. or free to those who cannot pay.

"The school lunch program. said Mrs. Jones. will be continued and expanded in these nine schools un- til every child who must eat at school is assured an adequate meal, Special work with the Wom- en‘s Institutes and Girls Clubs in this area is being pursued, and the Junior Farmers are being encour- aged to specialize in home gardens so that an abundant supply of all vegetables be on hand for Winter use either fresh or canned. At the completion of this project it is hoped to determine if this ap- proach to the problem of nutrition education bears results in better food practices. If so, this area_will serve as an example to other com-

AM. when the husband will be leaving for his business, and stays till 6:00 PM. having cooked sup- per, and fed the younger members of the family and prepared them‘ for bed. This service is available to all. its cost being borne in part by the family and in pert by the Red Cross. The charge is $3.00 a day but for a family that needs it badly and cannot afford it, the Red Cross bears the total cost. after looking into the situation carefully. of course. If the people wish to pay the total cost that is all right too. Some families have applied for a Homemaker but have refused to make usa of the Service because they could not pay the full am- ount and would not allow the Red Cross to share the cost as they thought it would sound like char- ity. This is a very foolish point of view. as this Red Cross Service, like all the other services is for the purpose of helping those who need help. Probably these very people would not hesitate to make use of a Red Cross nurse. "Miss Strong. Supervisor of Summerside Homemaker Service reports a total of 2229/1 days serv- ice given by Summerside Home- makers during i048. “In Charlottetown four homema- kers are working. During January and February eleven families were served. Some of the cases were — three new babies. one post-opera.- tive. and one mother exhausted by work and worry of caring for five children in two rooms had a weeks rest at her brothers home. while a homemaker cdred for he: children. "To get this service one just has to call Red Cross House and some- one will be sent to find out whet the particular care requires. Fam- ilies are never asked to pay more than they can afford. "During the past year Mrs. Red- din has done a lot of radio broad- casting which was both interesting and informative. Many appreciative letters were received regarding these-talks. and a cook book con- taining recipes that had been given in the broadcasts, was prepared and sent to those listeners who re- quested it. "The Nutritionist is always av- ailable for consultation by indiv- iduals on problems of food budget- ing. infant and child feeding, diet- ary advice for blood donors, and any other food problems that may arise. " rs. Rcddin planned and sup- ervised a food service for three summer camps. One of these canlps is for underprivileged girls "Someone suggested that a camp for crippled children might be managed. Maybe this is not feas- ible - I do not know," said the speaker. "Last summer a course in nut- rition and school lunch prepara-

“Red Cross canvassers are fre- quently asked this question “What is the overhead? How much of my gift will go for salaries and how much for folks who really need Red Cross Service"?

"Of course ‘salaries are paid to peophl who serve those in need. or who train or supervise people to serve those in need. Relief cannot always be wrapped up es a tang- ible oommodity. The Red Cross la primarily a service organisation. Salaries are equipment to produce such service as legitimate relief expendituies. For instance — e whole community may be stricken with typhoid, polio or influenza. and scores of Red Cross home nursing-trained women are re- cruited to assist the few graduate nurses available. Lives are saved.

land was desolate. affording neith- er food nor shelter.

Soon there sprung up a great forest of spruce. fir. pines. maples. etc. There was wild fruit on the forest vines. bush beans in the bogs. and water lilies and herbs and plants without number. There were beavers, too, and muskrats and lynx, as well as many other fur- bearing animals. And these crea- tures ate the water plants and grass roots thousands of years ago. as they do in our time.

Mingled with the wild animals of the forest were millions of reb- bits. not the small kind we know today, but giant hares as large as kangaroos. The forests. too. were alive with birds of many species. and in the evening and at dawn the melody of their silver voices rose like a heavenly symphony and swel- led In one glad tune over the be- witching land.

Perhaps the love of wandering and being Independent and alone was the reason why so many sav- ages found their way to the cres- cent-shaped parcel of land which es yet was without name-being generally accepted as part and par- cel of the mainland (Nova Scotla and New Brunswick): or it may have been the bewltching beauty of the place that entranced their souls and drew them as a magnet draws steel. from far and near.

Whence they came and why. we cannot tell; but the legend says they sought escape in‘ the new land from fear of strange and cleverer tribes. Be that ae it ml)’. they came; and though they had no bows and arrows, they were able by sheer cunning to kill the hares. wildcat: and other animals with sharpened stones.

The flint weapons used by these ancient savages are sometimes brought to light by present-day farmers while engaged in plowing their fields. But most of their relics and weapons have vanished from our ken. .

Nor have we any knowledge aa to

the date of the great spring floods‘

When the British took possession after the fall of Loulsburg. it re- ceived the name of Prince Edward Island, while to-day its inhabitants fondly refer to it as the "Garden of the Gulf."

With the advent of the white race with their ironweupons, these proud and brave people were no match for them. and had to give way or be exterminated. The anci- ent law. "survival of the fittest." was much in evidence. So, gradu- ally these poor savages were driven out till none were left, save the Micmacs who, it is claimed, are a mongrel race. .e mixture of white and Indian blood. '
