PRIEST STUDYING 1. HEALTH PROBLEMS
Delegation of Canadian
 CIergymen Arrive at Yale University

New Haven, Conn, oct. 6 - pr. william w. Peter, Associate Profess sor of Public Health at Yale, an- llounced today that Q. large group of Roman Catholic churchSnen, sent to the United States by the Ministry of Health of the Province of Cue bec, will study Public Health. at the Yale School of Medicine during the coming year. This is the first large group of its kind to be sent by the Province of Quebec to study Public Health.
 The group, composed of two priests and five brothers, represeT1t- ing six orders, are Normal School teachers appointed by their respec- tive community superiors to come to Yale, Upon completion of their course, they will return to teach public health in the Normal Schools, whose graduates will later be sent to various schools in the Province.
 The Yale Divinity School will serve as the home of the entire group during their stay in New Ha- ven. The Reverend Roland Blondeau S.J., leader of the group, arrived on September 22; the others on october l.
 The course work taken by these men at Yale will average thirty hours of laboratory work and lec- lures Q week for three semesters. Although they have had no previous specialized instruction in public health, the seven men have had many years of education, one of them holding three degrees. As Q result of a vote of the Committee of Admissions of the Yale School of Medicine, they may become candi- dates for the degree of Master of Public Health.
 The coming of the seven men was initiated by a four day visit made the Yale School of Medicine last year by Dr. Jules Gilbert, director of Health Education in the Min istry of Health of the Province of Quebec.
 In the group, in addition to Father Blondeau, will be the Rever- end Raymond Lavoie, and the Bro- thers daston Quenneville, Evan, Jean-Eucian, Rene Donat and BerchnarS.

New York, oct. 6-Fcr the Yank prisoner of war 1t is not all red cabbage and waiting. Sometimes it's hot trurnpets, or the howl of the crowd for q home run.
 Baseball and boogle-woogie are two of many spirits s-lifters which the Tanks are asking for, and get- ting, in enemy prison camps. Word about that comes to pr. Tracy Strong, whose business Is getting things to the captured. Reports to headquarters here, from his cohorts who make contact with men in Ger man and Far Eastern centers, re- assure Strong.
 Tt stands to reason" he figures, "that men who have the. energy and desire to 90 in for strenuous play and sports must be reasonably well fed. When our boys ask for football equipment, I judge they are not being forced to do exhaust ing labor endlessly."
 SIX MILLION PRISONERS

The civilians are reached through various agen- cies in the War Fund. Tn that way 2,500,000 Polish refugees get help in 30 countries to which they have fled.
