Prince Co. Member Urges Scholarships For Veterinaries

OITAWA. Ont" May 10-(8 - lab-An a alto riculturs in- ister Gar iher to o fer greater in- ducements for Canadian students to lake up veterinary science was made in the Commons last week ,by J. Watson MacNaught. Liberal member for Prince in the discus- slon on health of farm animals.

Mr. MacNaught recalled that in Prince Edward Island there is but one veterinary for the 100.000 ani- mals in the Province and that Pre- mier J. Walter Jones had estimat- sd there are careers for at least 10 veterinarians on the Island.

The member for Prince urged that the minister offer scholarships in veterinary science and that he take up acceleration of veterinary courses with educational author- ities at Canadian universities.

J. A. Charlton. Progressive Con- servative member for Brant. the one veterinary surgeon in the House of Commons. urged salary increases for veterinarians with the Department of Agriculture, At present government salary scales. he said. only three or four grad- uates from the Dominlonb veter- inary colleges this year would be attracted to government posts.

scarcity of qualified veterinaries. Mr. Charlton said. had resulted in the lowering of health standards of farm animals in Ontario where three counties had recently lost the status of "accredited" areas. Speaking of the department's health of animals branch. the Brant member said. “probably some of the officials are still back in the horse-ae-ld-buggy days." He urged the Minister tn make wider use of findings of United States veterinarians in dealing with Bug's disease of cattle.
