It must have been a day in June when with a gleaming, scarlet thread, you worked the livelong afternoon, “Give us this day our daily bread." For look! just where a line begins your needle strayed a square. to? high; quite crooked are the words "our_stns.' Oh! were you gazing at the sky? Or did the daisies on your lawn begin to wink and blink at you? Perhaps you spied a leprechaun iust where your mother's roses grew? 1 think God smiled at that mistake. dear little girl so fair and prim. and blessed those hands that failed to make â€" a perfect gift for Him. * “k * created a design from the flowers grown in her own garden.

This is the twenty-second consecutive year in which Na- tional Immunization Week has been observed in Canada. The fight against the epidemic disâ€" ease never ends. Fortunately we have vaccines against several of the oneâ€"time killers such as diphtheria, smallpox, whooping cough, tetanus and poliomyclitis. Smallpox â€" There is no natural immunity against smallpox. Anyone who has not been vaccinated may catch it. It attacks people of every age. Vaccination is the only protection we have against it. Every child should be vacâ€" cinated before he is six months of age. Vac- cination should be repeated every seven years, or during an epidemic, and for international travel every three years. Diphtheria â€" is a killing disease, though at times it is deceitful by its very milduess. It attacks all ages and even when apparently mild it may leave serious heart and nerve complica- tions. Diphtheria can be wiped out if Diph- theria Toxoid is used. It is best given begin- ning at the third month. A “booster” or “re- inforcing” dose should be given about one year later and again just before or on starting school. In 1?5_9 there was not a single death from diph- theria in Canada for the first time in history. 12 But there can be no let-up in our vigil last year (1963) there were seven dentl diphtheria.
