fine and warm, place the cot in the garden in the shade of the hedge or a tree, or on the verandah protected by a dark screen from the glare of the sun. In summer a mosquito net may be necessary to keep off flies and insects. If baby has to sleep in his pram during the day, see that the wheels are fixed to prevent the pram running away. Care should be taken to see that he is not too hot. He should be placed on his side, tucked firmly and securely but with a certain amount of freedom for movement. He must not be wrapped up tight with no freedom for movement. His position should be changed every time he is attended to. As baby gets older he can be taken out in his pram, which should be made with a ventilated wicker hood lined with green. There should be no ball fringers or rattles on the front of the pram. This is injurious to the eyes because of the constant movement when the pram is wheeled about. Many a mother is afraid that cool air is bad for baby, and liable to give him a cold. This is far from right. Provided baby is properly clothed and accustomed to being out of doors whenever the weather permits, he is much less likely to catch a cold outside than if he were kept in a warm, stuffy room.

At all bases the Maoris found that American servicemen were keen to hear about New Zealand and Maori legends. The members of the quartet—Joe Ward Holmes, of Lower Hutt, Pat Rawiri, of Ruatahuna, Mac Hata, of Opotiki, and Henry Gilbert, of Waikaremoana—have sung on many B.B.C. programmes and given cabaret and stage shows in England. They were also in the film ‘The Seekers’.

This is what happens when— 1. a fly walks over your plate 2. a cockroach crawls on it 3. a cough spray hits it These are actually micro-photographs specially posed in a New Zealand laboratory to illustrate how easily you may—through someone's carelessness—pick up un-named and unsuspected dirt when you eat. FOOD HANDLING IS AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS. IT CAN ALSO BE A DEADLY BUSINESS. That is why the practice of clean and hygienic food handling is essential in homes, in hotels and eating houses, and in all food retailers' premises. It is in the hands of these people to make eating SAFE. Issued by THE N.Z. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, 8.3 PRINTED BY THE PEGASUS PRESS LTD., 14 OXFORD TERRACE, CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND
