The idea wos new to this. country, said the writer, but Den- mark had been using it since Christmas 1904 with splendid results, Surely Canadians were as willing as the Danes to launch a campaign to wipe out tuberculosis. 5 The special virtue of the scheme, which had been the inspiration of a C hagen postman, was that it gave everyone a chance to help. Up to that time the general idea was that doctors were the only ones who could do cnything about disease. This opened up a way for everyone to take a hand, according’ to their abilities. Men, women and children could help, rich or poor, young or old, The editorial finished by saying that from that day (December 9) until the day before Christmas there would be news on tha front page about what was happening, Replies poured in from as far east as What's So Special About Farming? ‘Nothing makes the public more indig- ‘nant than when governments, for political ‘reasons, decide to grant perferential tax treatment to particuler groups where favor they seek. . An example of this sort of thing is found in an Alberta proposal to exempt all farm -trucks from provincial gasoline tax. Farmers in Alberta and Saskatchewan may already purchase gasoline free of the provincial tax for use in trucks for hauling grain to the elevator. Whatever merit this latter scheme may have, it is a very difficult Saint John, N.B. and as far west as Regina, from_a little girl of eight and a woman over 80, Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death and mony thought it incurable, but there were people ready to give battle and do their bit, Every Christmas since, Canadians in gro- wing numbers have bought Christmas seals to help stamp out fuberculosis. Time showed that what had once seemed hopeless is Ppos- sible if we will stay on the course. We have not wiped out tuberculosis yet but we know it can be done, There is still a very sizable job of pre- vention to be done, and it is for preventive services that Christmas Seal funds are used. Between now and a month from now, there will be about 50 new active cases found in B.C. !t adds up to about 600 people leaming in 1959 that they have an illness that will keep them in hospital for the best part ofa year or longer. If you think 600 new cases of tubers culosis in B.C. is too many you can do some- thing right now. You can buy and use the Christmas Seals sent you by the B.C. Tuber- culosis Society. matter to suggest that all owners of farm trucks be granted the privilege by law of buy- ing gasoline tax-free, while everyone else in Alberta must pay the gasoline tax.

CLEMO TOPICS We live in an age that is characterized by tension. It has been aptly called “the Age of Anxiety”. There was a time when a working man, leaving. the tensions of daity work at the of- fice or mill, could come ‘home to a quiet even- ing of relaxation with the family. Now our living room is no longer a haven of rest for.in- to it via ‘T.V., newspapers, and radio, come the tensions, problems and burdens of the whole world. Added to this, in far too many . homes are almost constant bickering, ‘nagging and quarreling which create. more. tension than ever and ruin the ane place where each member of the family ought to have a sense of security. 4 The problem is a serious one for it has filled our mental institutions to overflowing, and is ruining the family life of countless others, What is the solution? How can we cope with the age of anxiety? None of us wants to go back to the old days, nor could we if we wanted to. The answer is found in God. Gad who has created man, has’ provided certain laws for man’s own protection and benefit. Among these laws is the fourth cormmandment, “Re- member the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days skalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. % We cannot break this law with impunity any more than we can break the law of gravity (which is also for aur good) without suffering the consequences. God has so con- stituted man’‘s nature that he needs one day in seven as a rest day in which he may be Physically, mentally and spiritually . renewed. In this age of anxiety the Sabbath is more than ever a necessity for the maintaining of a satisfying family life and for the worship of God, both of which we neglect at the risk of our physical, mental and spiritual well be- ing. There is a trend in this nation against which we need to be warned. No one can af- ford to ignore the lessons of history. No na- tion can long survive that tramples the sab- bath underfoot. French national decay came in o period when she did away with the Sab- bath, : For a healthy body and mind, anda hap- py home, for due reverence to God, let us all strive to give the Lord’s Day its rightful place. Worship God as a family, in the church of your choice, next Sunday and every Sunday. Sunday Church Services ST. RITA’S CHURCH Rev. E. A.
