These Months Threaten Child Liﬁe

Canada has been making remark- able Dfﬁgress in a. NdUCtlOll of her infant mortality rate in the last twenty years. In the last eight to nine yEHTS alone the efforts of the Health Departments of our Provin- ccs anci- municipalities have resulted in a decrease of 29 per cent in the death rate of children dying in the first year of life and an actual saving of over 6,000 lives annually. Marked progress has been effected in the prevention cf deaths clue to certain of tile diseases and condi- tions prevalent in the summer weather but now a special analysis lnade by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in collaboration with Dr. Lloyd P. MacI-Iaffie. Staff Consul- talit.in Pediatrics" of the Canadian Welfare Council. indicates that the problem of death and sicknex in the infant and Pteschool age group. due to respiratory diseases and to diseases which are related, must be

" attacked at onceand vigorously.

These diseases include inﬂamed conditions or nose, throat, larnyx and wind pipo, bronch’tis and broncho - pneumonia. concho - pneumorta. whichso frequently is secondarv to 0r complicates bronchi- tis coughhcolds and sore throats, accounts for nearly half of the res- piratory diseases which strike childhood. and it has now been se- tabllshed that in 1933, the last year for which final figures are now available, broncho-pneumonia was the’ second greatest cause of death by acquired causes among all child- ren in their first year oi life in the whole of Canada. while broncho- pneumonia and bronchitis took first place in the cause of deaths in the whole group from one to four years.

Broncho-pneumonla is also a fre- quent occurrence in such condition as measels. whoopng-oough and in- ﬂuenza; especially is this so in in- rants and toddlers, the younger the child the greater the danger. It is said to be the most frequent cause

CASE COMES FROM INDIA T0 CANADA

(By The Canadian Press)

HALIFAX, Dec. l7—A debt case that began in lidia is now beiore the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia after five years of litigation.

It began back in i930 when Din- ~bai Ardeshar Boga, an Indian wom- an, gained a court judgment at La- hore against Francis Chamberlen for 27.439 rupees and nine annas (about $6,713). He moved to Mldd‘e- ton, N. S., before the, money was collected, though, and the action had to begin all over again.

Despite Chamberlens allegation of fraud in the obtaining of the or- iginal judgment, Mr. Justice W. F. Carroll of the Supreme Court up- held the verdict. Chamberlen took his case to the Full Bench of the province.

OTTAWA, Dec. l7~The practice

of death in young children who die form these three diseases, so that the death rate resulting from broncho-pneumonla, "due to all causes as affecting this young age group. is indeed alarming.

The preliminary vital statistics for the first quarter of 1935 are now available and they showadisturbing ‘hlcrease in the number of infant deaths due to influenza, pneumonia and bronchitis, and to two diseases. measles and whooping cough, which only too frequently ' end up in broncho~ -» pneumonia, especially when these two diseases have been regarded with an undue degree oi complacency. The months of Janu-

. sly-February and March in this

year were particularly deadly to child llie in this group of diseases.

Therefore, a special effort is being made to reach parents throughout Canada in these next few weeks. urging on them the necessity oi special precautions and pl fectlon of the baby and young child in the next three ‘to four months against the dangers of the group of respiratory diseases and these primary diseases which contribute to a high death rate usually from a complicating pneumonia. The Provincial and Municipal Depart- ments oi Health are always ready to provide parents with educational literature and advice u to ciincial services and other provisions for the protection of child healthc A special folder, written by Dr. Mac- Haffie. is also available. free of mot. upon application to your De-

concurred in the prohibition recently established by the Pro- vincial Government of Ontario

against this practice. The regulation with respect to baiting reads as follows; ‘No person shall kill, at- temp to kill, or hunt any migratory game birds by the use of baiting. which shall be interpreted as the attracting of such birds by the aid at corn, wheat, oats, or other grain or products thereof. or any other tong planted to decoy the said birds. provided, however, that the feeding of migratory game birds in any manner in p. ‘ ted areas where hunting is at all times pro- hibited, or the planting of food or their seeds in any place, are not prohibited."

Efforts have been made to de- t/crmine the numerical status of the brunt in succeeding seasons. Lat- est findings of the survey were des- crlbed by Mr Lloyd as "gloomy". Unless eel grass recovered from the mysterious scourge he feared that brant would continue to decrease until they vanished from New Brunswick shores. The malady broke out at North Carolina and wotked up to the Strait of Belle Isle. extreme northern location of the marige plant.

Mr. Lloyd termed the Migratory Birds between the United States and Canada "a most important pact to hunters." This treaty includes agreement that migratory birds be- long to both countries and that the matter of adequate protection rests with huntersnorth and south oi the border. -_
