Original Toronto Star caption: Weighting in for battle he does his part ot win wars too. It's total war this time. And that goes for rats, mice and guinea pigs as well as men. Thousands of them are working night and day up at the Connaught laboratory farm in North York, fighting the battles against disease. The enemies include some of the most dangerous epidemics that will threaten western civilization at the end of this world war, as well as common infections that bother all of us once in a while. To glance over the thousands of little houses they are in, you'd think they were living the life of Riley. Especially when you feel the carefully regulated temperature and look over the fastidious diets they are on. Actually they have a terrible time, according to their keepers. That's because they are often pretty sick animals--going through their sickness experimentally to save [Incomplete]
