TWO POEMS THREE CLOCKS We have three clocks that live with us Each has its proper place They stand alert yet with no fuss They set the household pace The parlor clock a lady fair In cream and gold array Ticks gently lest she break the peace That conies at close of day A haughty grandee is the clock That stands within the hall His voice is firm as tick tock He says to one and all The kitchen clock a little maid In blue and gold is gay Her nervous tick tock sounds afraid Shell lose the time of day So lady fair and maiden gay And gallant grave and tall Theyve timed our work and timed our play Theyre friends not clocks at all GATHERING GOLD Do you gather your gold in the busy mart Where the ticker beats like a robot heart Where stocks and bonds reign like gods of old And the honor of men is bought and sold Do you gather your gold from men who toil Whose backs are bent in the ceaseless moil From women who stitch till their eyes grow dim Or feed their machines in endurance grim If youd gather your gold from the sunset sky And the silver flung from the moon on high If youd open your ears to the voice of God Live more like a man and less like a clod Youd give of your gold and give and give Till youd wrung from your soul the right to live And those words of the Christ would sound anew Give all and Gods all will come back to you Food For Children Said Lacking Value Between a third and a half of all our school children are receiv ing insufficient milk citrus fruits and Vitamin but too much sweets said Mrs Voege nutri tionist with the provincial depart ment of Health in a talk Food for the Schoolage Child deliv ered at the Feb meeting of the Newmarket Home and School association Dr Robert King director of York County Health unit introduced the guest speak er Mrs said that emphasis in the field of nutrition is being placed on a four point program which would ensure that each child would daily receive at least one pint of milk pints for teenagers a satisfactory source of Vitamin units of Vita min and simultaneously de crease the consumption of sweet foods Oranges and milk are not ex pensive even at present costs in view of their food value Mrs said The good foods are the cheap foods It is the weet food which is expensive in costs and in its effect of dulling the appetite for the necessary foods Mrs Voege compared the cost of eight ounces of pop at seven cents with milk selling at cents the eight ounces costs four and a half cents eight ounces of the skim milk powder only costs two rents Sufficient Vitamin for an individual daily dose can be obtained for approximately one cent and bulk cereals are much cheaper than the packaged fancy varieties the speaker pointed out to her in terested audience Why Wont Tommy Eat movie in color was shown with William operating the projector It was a most interest ing and entertaining film and dealt comprehensively with the problem of a childs refusal to eat The desired natural easy manner of the mother during breast and bottle feeding was il lustrated The lack of tension and need for a quiet and relax ing atmosphere at meal times was emphasized Children learn the use of eat ing implements gradually The polished table manners of the adult are not to be expected of the child but the mother and fa ther in their own meal habits set the example they want their children to follow During early childhood or if a feeding prob lem exists there should be no forcing or unpleasantness at men times This refusal to eat is one of the most effective weapons at a childs command and frequent ly he uses it unconsciously Even when the problem is recognized and an attempt is made to cor rect the tense atmosphere it may take six months to undo what it took five years to build into a regular habit At the close of the film Mrs spoke on its highlights and then followed an open dis cussion period Mrs Voege said that there was not enough Vita- T min found in our foods and so it had to be obtained from outside sources She said that it was es sential for the growth of teeth and bones and that Vitamin D was needed every day all through growth until the late teens are reached It is a known fact that the body does not use the miner als obtained from other foods to the same degree if insufficient Vitamin is present in the diet The guest speaker was thanked by Mrs Noble chairman of the health committee who was in charge of the program GUIDES HOSTESSES AT VALENTINE PARTY Members of the Girl Guide local association were guests at a Valentine party held by the sec ond class guides of the
