Immunization Week Over a million cases of smallpox took thousands of lives within the past year in Pakistan. Pakistan is a Jong way from Canada in terms of miles, but only hours away in terms

'. of jet travel. One has only to recall

the swiftness of the spread of Asiatic flu a short time ago to realize that - there are no physical barriers to dis- _ ease, aside from that of immunizat- jon. :

This is as good a reason an any for stressing the importance of National Immunization Week, sponsored by the Health League of Canada in co- eperation with our Departments of Health, which is being observed next

roughout: the country.. The purpose is to remind Canadians that their families are not safe from such killers as diphtheria, whooping cough, _tetanus, smallpox and _ poliomyelitis

last—year,—as eompared to 2,804 cases, with 287 deaths in 1943, the vear when the first National Immunization Week was started. Although this is grati- fying progress, there is still room for improvement. The recent eutbreak of polio in Montreal, with ever 600 cases reported to date, is evidence of the need for greater act- fvity in health education.

Some persons fee! protected with- evt immunization merely because they are adults, and therefore past contracting childhpod diseases. This fa dangerous thinking, for in the case of polio, those between the ages of 20 and 45, and pregnant mothers-_in particular, are proving more and more. susceptible to this disease.

Again, we note that in 1934 -Tor- ento had its first Year without a diphtheria death—the first city of ever 500,000 population in the world te achieve this miracle There were

‘po diphtheria\ cases in. Toronto in 1958. But in 1920 there were 2,256 @ases, and 224 deaths. Once toxoid was put into general use, the killer began to vanish.

On a smaller: scale, we have ex- perienced the same good results from fmmunization in this Province. There fa no ground here for complacency; rather, it should inspire us, to great- er efforts in eliminating communie- able diséase altogether.

His main theme was the need for the United States and Russian leaders reaching some measure of agreement in their current talks at Washington, “or we all may perish.” But he start- ed off in lighter vein, leading up to his subject in this characteristic man- ner: : ens

“T am a curiosity. I have held seven

That, of course, is not a practice conducive to sober study; but what a change from the platitud- inous utterances of so many of our elder statesmen! We have not read many of Lord Beaverbrook’s speech- es, but this one, for its punch and originality, must have been among his best. We should like .to. have heard-it.

It was found instead that the venom released ip_ the blood agents which destroyed the staph. bacteria, and pathologists felt that the discovery could lead to achieving a rapid otinter to staphy- lococcus infection in hospitals.

one of the most significant an- niversaries in Canadian history has crept upon us. Sunday was the 200th. anniversary of Battle of the Plains of Abraham. It was on the morning of Septenr ber 13, 1759, that the drama fam- itiar to most of us from our schoo] histories. was played out— the scramble of the British troops up the cliffs at Wolfe« Cove, the battle with muskets and bavonets in Abraham Maftin's meadow. the fall of Wolfe in his hour of

victory and of Montclam in his!

September 13 has never heen a national holiday. At one time in Qntario there was a tendency to glory in the Batile of the Plains

as a British victory. and a cor- |

sponding tendency in Quebec to mourn it as a French disaster

- These feelings have faded, and m® recent years the day has been hardly noticed. Yet this particul- ar. anniversary deserves com- memoration, not as the triumph of one race or culture over : an-

other, but as the beginning of a new nation based on oastebias

Red Pauncint On The Moon

' By Harold Morrison

Russia’s successful moon shot has put President Eisenhower at a decided disadvantage in his meeting with Premier Khrush- chev.

“It not only Has’ tended to grav- itate world attention away from such earthly crises as Berlin and Asia, but has brought new ad- miration for Soviet technology and downgraded United States space achievements.

In fact the planting of the So- viet pennant on the moon has raised the question of whether Russia has thus achieved sover- eignty over that celestial body. It has brought U.S. legal experts into the rather ludicrous position of trying to establish argument why Russia is not entitled to the moon, .
