trative costs. Costs of care pro- vided to patients entitled to care under DVA (in respect of pension- able disability), Workmen's Com- pensation. insurance claims, or si- milar arrangements would also be deducted in determining "share- able" costs.

There would likewise be exclud- ed, from any plan in which the Federal Government would share, the costs of caring for mental or tubercular patients.

The Federal Government will pay to each province which oper- ates a recognized plan as defined in the preceding paragraphs grants equal to a portion of the "share- able" costs. and amounting to: (a) 25 per cent of the average per capita costs for hospital ser- vices in Canada as a whole;

Plus (bl 25 per cent of the aver- age per capita costs multiplied by the population covered.

In calculating the percentages and per capita costs referred to, only shareable costs as defined in paragraph 4 will be taken into ac- count. ..

DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS

In the Division of Cancer Con- trill. Dr. Ilonnell said that 494 cases has been referred to the clinic last year. an increase of 66 over the previous year. It was shown that 178 of these cases. or 38 per cent were malignant: 28 were pre- mnlisnant: 256 were on-maIIgn- ant and 32 cases of no pathology. The total cost of the service to the Province clear of the physi- can's salary was 318,000-"In my opinion an amount well spent," said the Minister.

DENTAL HEALTH

An extensive program in the field dental public health was re- Ported by Dr. Bonnoli who said three dental hygenlsts were can-y. ing out examination and treatment of childrenis teeth throughout the Province.

The Division also offers fluoride

treatments to all pre-school child- ran and children of school age who had all their treatment completed. In addition to the above. the hy- genlsts give lectures to the teach- er training classes at Prince of Wilt! College and to nurses in training. "That the Division was paying its way was indicated by the net that tooth decay had been reduc- ednby 50 per cent," said Dr. Don. no .

the -- h s at a dinner meeting held at the Y.M.C.A. which brought out a full attendance.

Continuing his talk. Mr. Linklett- er stressed the importance of con- tinued activity on the part of the club and Its members. ”Nohlng makes a man lose interest in any movement than not having any- thing to do. Active participation is the geatest nourishment for res- ponsibility and idleness soon wast- es into weakness”. He pointed out that age was no barrier. "We have active members in the Maritimes in their 70's and young men in their 'teena".

Special reference was made to tho expanding value of the Bishop's stamp fund which was established by a local member. E.D. Bell 80 years ago. The first year of it's existence 330 was raised to assist in bringing overseas delegate to the International Conference. Last year the fund reached 330.000 Under the set-up. stamps are coll- ected from all over the world and sold on an equally wide basis to collectors.

An additional pleasing feature of the meeting was the introduction and induction of five new members who received the right hand of fellowship from the chalnnan. Past President George Anderson. and re ceived their membership pins.

The new members are: Ken Swansberg, introduced by Brian Cudmore; Bruce I-Iodgins. by Ben- nett Carr; Wallace Douglas by Arnold Callheck; Bruce Atkins by Bob Giggey: Bill Ives by George Anderson. Ronald Zeran was a visitor from Moncton and six mem- bers of the Summerside volleyball team of the "B" were also guests.

to physicians of the Province." said Dr. Bonnell. It also supplies Lab technicians to all the hos- pitals in the province but due to a shortage in staff the technlcans at Kings County and Souris hospitals had to be recalled to the central office. To counteract this sit tion, there are two girls now in rain- ing in Newfoundland who will be available as soon as they have completed their course in June.

The Laboratory Division has. to the present time. been carried on without the assistance of a Fed- eral grant but from April 1. this year it will participate in the health grants of the Ottawa Gov- ernment. making a conside able savings to the Province.

MENTAL HEALTH

The Mental Health Department has grown to be the largest divi- sion in the Department of Health." said the Minister. He reported that two psychiatrists had been added to the existing staff of three doctors. One of these physicians has had special training in the field of child psychiatry.

"The active treatment centre has been completed." said Dr. Bonnell and will be opened as soon as a staff is available. He out- lined some of the difficulties In securing such a staff. The speak- er said that he thought the treat- ment centre would have to be open- ed in stages until sufficient staff was obtained.

The Minister said that the con- tre will contain 06 beds and will be used as an active treatment centre only. By that he meant it will be utilized for the more or less acute cases of mental distur- bances. Those requiring more than four month's treatment. he said would be moved to the old build- ing of Falconwood Hospital.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING "One of the biggest undertakings ever attempted in this Prnvlnce was carried out last Spring by our Division of Public Health." said Dr. Bonnell, "I refer to the in- noculation of 5.283 children in grades 1-2 for poliornyelitls. It is interesting to note that none of t - eleven cases of polio which occurred in the Province last year took place among those who were inoculated." "I do not wish to infer by this that the Salk vaccine is 100 per cent protection against the dis- ease. However I am sure that we all look forward to the time when

all our children of school age will

Variety Concert At Spring Park Last Evening

What is considered to be the most enjoyable Variety Concert in several years was presented last evening at the sprln Park Hall. last evening. The ga erin which filled the hall to capacity a agreed that Mr. Fulton Robertson in his role of Me t of Ceremonies kept the program going at a lively pace. To get the audience into a fully receptive mood be opened tlllnll by reciting a number of arnusial anecdotes.

The program proper was opened by the grade 5 to 6 tudents of Spring Park School wi a choral reading. This was followed with a sword dance by Janet Mcllish and Elizabeth Haywood and a solo by Daryl Easter. Next in the pro- gram came an instrumental selec- tion by Mrs. Roy Archer and Mrs. Ed Garnhum.

On of the top performers of the evening. Miss Margaret Rhyries re- ceived enthuslatlc applause for her Scottish dancing and singing as did the musical selection by the Hunter family and the comic songs of William Harris.

Other numbers receiving repeat- ed acclaim were: the solo by ROY Smallman. comic duet by Mrs. Clayton Shaw and Mrs. H. Clark: the accordian solo of Amby Gauth- ier and the grades 7 to 10 choral group.

Wee McTague in his usual man-

ner won the plaudits of the audi- ence with his mouth organ selec- tuons. Kay and Lloyd Archer rend- ered a very pleasing duet which got very pleasant reception as did the instrumental music of the.Ar- senault boys; the guitar selections of Tom Hunter and the musical and violin selections given by Mr. H. G. Sutherland. and the step dancing of Henry Doiron. Pipers for the Scottish numbers were: Mr. H. G. Sutherland and Bruce MacLaren. Pianists for ihl evening were Miss Cairns. MISS I-Iayter. Mrs. B. MacLaren. Mrs. Fanny Bertram and Doreen Jay. The teachers conducting the two school selections were grade 5 to 6. Mrs. MacLeod and 7 to 10. Miss Haytcr.

SANITATION

In the Sanitary Engineering Di- vision. the Minister reported that surveys had been conducted in most of the villages to ascertain conditions as they existed in re- gard to sewage -disposal and wat- er supply.

He said that conditions in some of these areas were not too good. He estimated that to bring about a system of water and sewage in all of the rural communites re- quiring it, would cost in the vicini- ty of 31,000,000. "It would be a costly propositon.” he observed. "for either the Government or the villages concerned."

Venerinl diseases had diminish- ed to such an extent that this work could easily be absorbed by another division. was the opinion of the Minister. He explained that with the modern methods of treat- ment. the diseases of syphilis and gonhorrea did not present such a problem as in former years. He reported 5 cases of the former and 50 cases of the latter during the past year.

TB CONTROL ' That the death rate from tuber- culosis was diminishing was shown by the fact that in 1948 there were 58.5 persons per hundred thousand died of the disease; in- l954 it had dropped to 8.5 and in 1955 the rate was 4.6.

Dr. Bonnell warned. "we must not relax in our fight against TB." He said that last year 57 new cases were discovered while 48 cases were referred to the TB clinic. Seven cases were picked up by the mobile clinic. all of these were found in homes for the aged. Dr. Bonnell felt that a new pro- gram against TB should be in- stituted. He pointed out that the mobile unit dealt chiefly with the younger people. This he felt was not effective because of the fact

that out of 70 patients admitted. 49 of these were over the age of 40. As one measure of checking the disease. he advocated the X- raylng of all patients admitted for treatment to hospital.

A lack of physio therapists was one of the handicaps in expand- ing the services of the polio and orthopedic clinic. Dr. Bonnell said that quite a back-log of patients needing treatment was accumula- ting in the province and the only solution he could see was an in- crease in the staff of physio thera- pists which could handle more out patients.

He reported that out of 164 cases treated during the year, 109 of these were discharged.
