NO MAGINOT LINE
AGAINST DISEASff
It is interesting to observe the
contrast in the life of Andre
Maginot famed designer of the
fortified line which bears his
name and protects the French na
tion from invasion.
Sergeant Maginot who scientif
ally designed a method to defend
his native land from the dangers
<of invasion, died because of a
failure to scientifically protect
himself from danger. He died af
ter eating oysters that were taint
ed and became a victim to ty
phoid fever.
Medical science has long work i
ed to protect man from the at-'
tacks of disease. Typhoid is one
disease that is, at least, prevent,
able. The skill and intelligence
that developed the plans and
guided the construction of the
world’s greatest fortification
could not save Maginot from ty
phoid.
Anthony Eden, British Domin
ions Secretary: “Five times in ]
the last eighty years, the rulers
of Germany have embarked with
only the slightest pretext, upon
a war of aggression.”
Story with a Moral
There was a man who lived by
the side of the road and h^ sold
hot dogs. He was hard of hearing
and he had no radio. He had
trouble with his eyes so he read
no newspapers.
But he sold good hot dogs. He
had signs up on the highway, tell
ing how good they were.
He stood by the side of the
road and cried, “Buy a hot dog
mister?" and people bought.
He increased his meat and bun
orders. He bought a bigger stove
to take care of his trade. He fin
ally got his son home from col
lege to help him.
But then something happened
His son said, “Father haven’t you
been listening to the radio? Hav
en’t you been reading the news
papers? There is a big depression
on. The European situation is ter
rible The domestic situation is
worse. Everything is going to
pot.”
Whereupon the father thought
Well, my son has been to col
lege he reads the papers and he
listens to the radio and he ought
to know, so the father cut down
the meat and bun orders, took
down his advertising signs and
no longer bothered to stand out
on the highway to sell his hot
dogs. And his hot dog sales fell
almost over night.
