LOCAL DOCTOR tMrs. Hassall Heads
ADDRESSED CLUB Legion Auxiliary
]Dr. W. V. Johnston. of Luck-
. h9Vtr was the guest speaker at the
regular ennnthly meeting of the
'Windham C.C.F. Club, held. last
V,Vedneselay , in .the _Orange 'Hall
• at Wingliarn.
He said that T.B. couldbe
Wiped; out it -leder -Jade in ,two gen-
• erations if the, medical profession
• had all factors under control. The
factors include slums, under-
' .nouriehnient, unemployment and
either social evils. He went on to
say that,at the pres6nt time doe,•
• tors . are unable. to .use , all the
. knowledge they possess because
of the,foregoing conditions which
•• they 'alone cannot control, •and
• as a result people Who cannot
:afford to pay ;for: medical .aeten-
: , •tion either do not seek it at .11*
or else leave. it until it is tdo' late:
Dr. Johnston advocated a system
of periodical medical 'examine -
tions of all 'Canadian -citizens, al-
e
• though this can only: be accom-
• plished .by legislation Or when
socialized medicine is, instituted
fully.
Speaking of preventive medi-
cine • Dr:: Johnston stated that of.
all the money .spent on medical
• services in Ontario only 9 .percent:
• is used for preventive purposes,
while in lluseia the figure is qo.-
lect by Canatitans;1-16 ,said, shows
up inthe,, high. percentage of vol-
unteers rejected from the errieed,
• services on medical grounds.
The health plan of :.Henry
Kaiser for his employees - was•
...outlined. By the company paying.
frotri •820 to S25 per person per
year; it js able tp maintain a
fully: equipped and most up -to-
• date hospital. •Employees and
their • wives • and children are
t looked' after there, and Henry
Kaiser finds thai'.it pays to keep
• people well—they • Make better
. . ships faster. The •health plan of
the I3eVeridge Report works out
at about .the Sante cost and:ini
.passing, Dr. Johnston mentioned
that 'the Beveridge Report, was
• evolved largely because wages
are so: i6dequate for the, main-
tenance of large and healthy
families. 1 Cana a the. health
, insurance he e Would cost
Canadians abut $26 per person
• per year for those whbse income
• is in excess of $1,400, All child-
- ren will be entitled to 'medical
• service without cost. Inassessing
a farmer' who does not • keep
• books, his- income would be com-
e puted•from the value of his.farm.
• Dr. Johnston • mentjoned the
Russian system of health, provid-
ing pensions, at •55 to 60 years of
"ke . age and compulsory holidays for
' all. workers. Free passes on the
railroads are available, should
they wish to travel, or the time
may be spent, gratis, at a rest
• home equipped with all the facil-
ities of .a summer resort. He also
_ touched upon the social legisla,-
tive measures in New Zealand,
whicheare at a very high stand-
ard. In Canada, he said, social-
ism is here in the form of un-
. employment insurance, old .age
•"pensions, Hydro and similar pub-
lic projects. "So why should peo-
' pe he frightened of socialism"?'
Dr. ,Johnston asked. "In this light
• socialism is the highest form of
dernoCracy".
