Awarded Fellowship In Royal College

Word has been received by Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MacMIilan, O.B.E., from the Royal College of Physic- ilns and Surgeons of Canada that he had been honoured by being elected to a Fellowship in the Coi-

legs.

Dr. MacMilian is the first phy- sician and surgeon in Prince Ed- ward Island to receive this dis- tinction. He has held a similar Fei- Iowshlp for several years in the American College of Surgeons, and since 1945 has been a member of the board of governors of the latter organization, which he joined in 1922. Chief of staff of the Chur- iottetown Hospital, he is also pre- sident of the Provincial Red Cross Society and a member of the execu- tive of the Dominion organization.

ALTERNATIVE

(Continued from Page i)

that up to Nov. l6 the U.S. Gov- ernment has purchased from Am- erican farmers under its support price poiioy 63,532,050 bushels of potatoes. This includes, for direct distribution, 1,215,000 bags; for livestock feed, 9,496,000 bags; for alcohol, 18,784,000 bags; for export 164,000 bags; for potato flour 6.- 018.000 bags; for potato starch 1.087.000 bags.

This total is considered t.o be about two-thirds of the amount the U.S. Government will have to take to maintain its support pro- gram, which is estimated to cost 5125000000. Every car of Canadian potatoes going to the United States this season has meant one additional car which the US. Government has had to more out of the normal trade.

Embargo Pending

At the discussions at Washing- ton and Ottawa it was evident to the Canadian representatives that the U.S. Government was prepar- ed to take drastic action to cur- tail Canadian table stock sales even to the extent of embargoing all Canadian potatoes.

"It is felt by shippers who at- tended the meeting in Saint John last week with Mr. Taggat-t that the Canadian representatives did an excellent job for us. con-sidet- ing the circumstances." Col. Full said. "The first steps had already been made by the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture to cut out all our potatoes, including seed." It was to forestall this alternative that Ottawa took action.

"The Canadian program is based- on the assumption that there are no market-s outside of North America where potatoes can be moved that will pay the cost of the grading, assembly. containers and freight. Therefore it was felt that any Canadian support price should be given at the farm, and at. the farm only.

It is understood that no table stock can be moved to the United states that is not billed and mov- ing by Monday, Nov. 29. The date has been extended sufficiently to cover that situation. This applies also to seed going to areas other than the four Southern States.

Seed Quantity Unreatricted

"The permits apply to all cert- ified seed and are without re- striction as to quantity moved, but under restriction as to the dates m which they may be moved. The antes are the approx- imate times for planting in the various States.

"Before permits can be granted the applicant must have assur- nnce from the purchaser by tele- gram or letter that the potatoes are for planting purposes only. and will not be used for table stock.

"Some of the growers are disap- pointed that the, support price for table stock is not higher". Col. Full added. That is understand- able. but with the small growers particularly there ls every reason to believe that It will work 011! satisfactorily. The amount of po- tatoes left for export in this Prov- ince after April 1 next will in any case be comparatively small."

Island representatives attending the conference with Mr. Taggart in saint John on Friday included

also the Hon) W.F‘,A. Stewart. Minister of Agriculture, Messrs. W.R. Shaw. Deputy Minister.

Chester Shmv, seed inspection of- flcer, Dominion Department of Agrimrliure, ED. Reid, manager of the PEI. Potato Grrwers‘ Association, and George Thom!!- son. manager of Associated Ship- pers. They returned home on Sat- urday night.

laboratories will be a new service for smaller hospitals and is expect- ed to result in speedier service to patients and their doctors. The present central laboratory will be retained as a standard of rcfer- ence for the new establishments.

For Public Health Work

Each laboratory will be manned by a. technician. In addition to clinical or diagnostic requirements of the particular hospital, the la-b- oratory will take care of the public health laboratory work for that district. '

When the laboratories are in op- eration. the plan calls for free tis- sue service for persons examined at cancer diagnostic clinics, free laboratory service for persons at- tending mental health clinics. free laboratory service to all patients admitted to the provincial sanator- lum and to those attending tuber- culosis clinics and a free blood icst for venereal disease for all patients admitted to hospital.

Use of federal funds has been ap- proved both for the purchase of equipment for the laboratories and for the salaries of the technicians. Costs are being split among the tuberculosis control, general public health, venereal disease control. mental health and cancer grants being made this year under the Federal Governments $30,000,000 health program.

First To Benefit

OTTAWA, NOV. 2B —(Special)- Prince Edward Island will be the first or one of the first provinces to benefit from the $30,000.0ti0 Federal Government grant for health purposes, according to a preview of the overall health plan given by Health and Welfare Min- ister Paul Martin Saturday night at the annual dinner o! the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

Mr. Martin told the assembled doctors that in Prince Edward Is- land, blood tests will be mlde M federal expense of every persm admitted to hospital. Further, the minister said that Prince Edward Island has received approval for the organization and operation of two diagnostic cancer clinics. A doctor is to be given special train- ing before becoming a director c! a cancer control division, and free cancer laboratory services are to be made available.

In addition. Mr. Martin outlined the brunch laboratory services to be provided in ihc provincial and general hospitals. These laborator- ics, it is explained, will accelerate service to patients and their phy- sicians in the smaller centres of the province.

Civesliqepbft 0n National Health Plan

OTTAWA, Nov. 28— (CP)-—The present Feticral Government will never “stifle or destroy the liberty" of Individual doctors, Health Min- isier Paul Martin said Saturday night in a progress report on the national health program.

His report was contained in an address prepared for delivery to the banquet of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons which fol- lowed lts'annuul meeting and con- vocation here. Mr. Martin spoke a few hours after the College hod admitted 98 new fellows at the con- vocation. Thirty-four of them were physicians nnrl the others surgeons. "Reglmcntution of the doctor would be ruinous to health pro- gress," Mr. Martin declared. "In any sensible health plan the doctor holds a responsible position."

He declared that the health pro- gram did not lessen the role of the Provinces and that health planning could best be done on a regional basis.

“It is only four months since this program got underway but ai- ready there is evidence that it Is succeeding admirably in its main purpose—to raise the entire level of health activity in Canada," Mr. Martin declared.

I-ie sold the entire $30,000,000 vot- ed by Parliament for the program this year might not be spent since It “takes time to assess and strengthen provincial programs." Unspent money available under the system of hospital grunts would be curried over Into future years, making n total of $65,000,000 avail- able from Fcdcrui funds by 1053 to Increase the country's hospital oc- commodntion.

Construction proposals had been submitted by Nova Scotin, New Brunswick and Manitoba. Submis- sions from Ontario and Quebec were expected in u few days. Programs had nirendy been re- ceived from the Provinces for training 250 public health workers with Fcdcrul uid. Prince Edward Island had urrattgt-d for routine blood tests for everyone entering u hospital in tho Province.

A Prince Lldwtird Isiund proposal for two clinics for cancer diagnosis had been approved under the cun- ccr control grant and New Bruno- wick was cqtiipping five new can- ccr trcuimcnt centres.

being done at top diplomatic levels to find the dollars to implement further contracts, there are only enough dollars in sight at present to allow Britain to buy Canadian eggs for the first few months of next year." he stated.

Other Markets

"I feel sure that other markets especially the U. S. are attailable for Canada's surplus," continued Mr, Brown. He recounted how the high quality of Canadian eggs draws a U. S. trade from Detroit to Windsor of 2,000 cases weekly. and urged seeking out the lesser marketing centres. “Prince Edward Island has a market at her own doorstep. Newfoundland, Labrador and. presently, Ungava are within both sea and air reach. Canadian eggs are already moving to the West Indies. Bermuda (at the rate of 2.000 cases a week) and South American countries.

“You P. E. l. pouitrymen should be in there," declared M1". Brown. “But to get these markets you \vilI have to move your peak of pro- duction from May to November and make preparations immediate- ly to that end."

Principle Approved

"The principle of a central agency is heartily and unanimously approved by producers across the Dominion,” the speaker continued. "I heard no dissenting voice. but there are many opinions as to how it should be brought about. And it is only fair to add that other businesses do not like the idea. But if you go back to the old way you will be up against the old bogies again."

Suggesting that such an agency would have saved the potato industry from its present utihappy position, the speaker told of the struggle to keep Canadian poultry products from flooding the U, S. market last summer. These were controlled by export permits which were regulated so that no partl- culsr market was flooded. "While we were fortunate that our pro- ducts were not underseliing the U. S. support price, it was a central agency watching What W85 going on and taking effective steps. that saved the day for the Cana- dian pouitryrnan," added Mr. Brown.

“A fifty million dollar nest-egg- which is the Canadian surplus, is worth working on," he continued- “! envision a central agency which will function in some ways like the Wheat Board. through which the producer gains the profits Mid the whole wheat business as it stands is utilized to sell and dis- tribute wheat anywhere i" the world. However, to set up stich a Board would be a tremendous task. We have now the legislation on the books to create a Crown Com- pany which would fulfill this pufpugg more readily.
