For the Children

At the meeting called by Mrs.
Irwin of the Health Unit last
week before the Community VEL
fare League went into organiza-
tion, she told of conditions that
existed in some of the schools and
pleaded that something be done
for those children in need of urgent
medical attention for eyes, throat,
etc. Also the need of something
hot and nourishing for the lunch
at noon, particularly for the little
ones who live a long distance from
the schools; and after discussing
ways and means it was decided
that Mrs. Willie Pierson, the will
ing and. every efficient Demon
stration Agent, would try to ar
range with the club girls and
teachers and some prominent and
public spirited women in each
community, to have those children
who could and would, contribute
the necessary ingredients, prepare
and serve either hot cocoa or soup,
which could be done at little ex-
pense or trouble and be such a
great thing for children who need
something warm and stimulating
between the long hours.
This movement is not intended
as q reflection or desire to be Of
ficious in any way. but just to be
helpful and try to inaugurate IN
the parish something that is done
generally elsewhere. to assist in
safeguarding the health Of the
future citizenship.

U. S. Tariff Hits German Steel

SOLINGEN, Rhenish Prussia, Oct. 4
The United States has ceased to be
one Of the German steel industry's
most lucrative markets, as the sudden
enforcement Of the new tariff has not
only resulted il heavy cancellation of
orders. but Is making itself felt in the
conspicuous absence Of fresh demands
from America for finished steel prod
ucts. Up to short time ago half of
the Solingen output was consigned to
the United States, and local manufac-
turers are already confronted with the
necessity Of curtailing working hours.
