New Prospecting

Thanks to a iuiuilnir of interested financiers. iucludint: Iilr. Cyrus S. Eaton, prospct-tors are heading for Baffin Island ncar thc Arctic Circle in searcli of ll'ttll on-. 'l'hc team is led ti)" Rtlxn 'illv.t.;r.-3 a Ncwfouiid- lander who has done a lot of pros- pecting in t..ilu'.iviur and who is credited with til-I-oxci-iii;.; ore and oil fields on the l'l'..ll'iIlCl'll slopes of Ungaxa Bay.

Illr. Tlionis is lu-glily optimistic over the now venture. "We're not fooling around with anything small," he told rcpoitcizx ill Montreal, "we're after big tliiu'.;.-. Baffin will be the next big name ill iron. The day isn't far off when well see towns going up right inside the Arctic Circle."

The ”Coaslal Queen”, a convert- ed submarine cha.-cr. is already en- route to Ii0pe's Advance Inlet in Ungava Bay carryiiig supplies and equipment. Mr. Thoms and his crew -and Mr. Ealonawill be flying there in a few days to meet the ship. From there they will go on to their destination and. or so they hope, to new richcs. The project is planned to extend over three sum- mers. It is expected to cost 51.600 each day the ship is away from her home port. Montreal.

In addition to iron ore, the pros- pectors expect to find new deposits of nickle. copper. oil and uranium. All Canadians will wish prospector Thoms and his liarriy associates and, of cotiiise, his financial back- ers every success in their under- taking.

Hospital Accreditation

During the year under review It Edmonton, Canada moved appreci- ably nearer to having her own body of hospital accredi'.ation, and in fact this goal may be said to be within sight, states the Canadian Doctor. A purely Canadian nr;.:ani7.ation of medical mcn. to assess the standards of can in (laiiariutii hospitals, is to he set up and is I-xpcctcd to go into opr-ration Jaiuiary l. 1939. This is the result of procrcssive cfforts which have been undertaken since 1931 under the lcadership of the Canadian Ilicdical Association.

Oricinally all hospital accredita- tion in the I'nitcd States and Canada was carricrl out by thc American College of Stii-goons. Canadian medi- cine has had representation since 1932 when the work was undertaken by a joint body of rcprcscntatives of both l'iiilcri States and Canadian medical bodics. "The time has now comcs." notcs the rcport of the Committee on llmpital Accredita- tion. ”wlivii tlic national status of Canada. its lantruazc and racial factors, and its cliantziiitz economics In hospital scrvice call for the estab- lishment of a purely Canadian pro- gram for ihospital accreditation”.

Working on t h 0 all -Canadian plan since I032 have liccn the Can- adian Hospital Association, the Canadian Nlcdical Association. the Royal Collngo of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and l'Associ.1- tlon dcs Medccins dc Lanizue Fran- chise du Canada. These groups will be represented on the new commis- lion.

It is officially hoped that the ap- pointment of a new all-('anadian organization may result in the speed- ig up the work of inspecting

The National Debt

There is one debt shared by every citizen to which, oddly enough, very few outside of financial circles of Government ever give a serious thought. That is the national debt which in this country at the present time, annual surpluses notwithstand- ing, amounts to about S600 per head of the population.

However, it may be interesting to some to note how this debt has developed in proportion to the growth in population. in lilil, '.-rhcn war expenditures were just licgiiiiiiiig to make themselves felt. (lanadals debt stood at about Kill, billion or 33317 per head. Five years later it had reached the per capita rate of nearly S2900. But in lflll the popu- lation was only 11 million. In llllti it had risen to about Ill: llllIIl(i'l. The debt was rouchly 1.". billion. By 1932. it. had fallen to a little ovcr 3311 billion: and the population had risen to 14', million. That manic the per capita debt something like N773.

Since then, surpluses have re- duced the overall dclit sliizlitly. Meanwhile, the population has :.:rown by another 2': million. which lcav--s the per capita dcht at the present time a little less than Stittfl. This means that, although the ricbt is roughly 3'; times what it was I5 years ago, the per capita liurclcn is less than twice what it was then. In the meantime. the economy has grown by leaps and bounds: so that, all things considcrcd, the Canadian debt is one of the less burdensome of all the national dcbts in the free world. Even so, it is good for us all

' to remember that we cacti owe Si600

in behalf of Canada.

More bothersome. by far. are the Provincial debts. cspcrially in these Provinces which, like our ow n, do not have rapid growth in either population or resources.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The inscription "In (hid We Trust”, which long has been carried on United Statcs' coins will now be carried on 51 bills. Some will call it a commendable move. Others, equally anxious to stress the powcr of faith, will have their doubts.

Since stingray wounds nro among the nmstpexcrucintinuly pnlnful that any animal on in- flict upon man. I think it's n good idea for you vncntioiiists to know how to treat them.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

Drs. J. Fred Mullins. Charles J. Wilson and William C, Best I!- commended treating the wound by immersing it. in ice water. Since the foot or ankle general- ly in the site of the wound, thin in easy to do.

Temperature of the w n t e 1' should be about zero degrees can- tiarade. The foot or other ex- tremity should be dunked until the wound is about six inches un- der the water.

.Vlnst cast.-s require that the foot be submerged for about one' and one-hall hours. This is not u very comfortable method of bait- ing pain. I admit.

MARKED DISCOMFORT

For the first five minutes or so. there will be rather marked discomfort from the cold water. But the bent of your extremity soon will boost the temperature to about five degrees ccntilzrade and. as a result. the pain from the wound is usually reduced
