Medical expenses How. ever long he may require it, a worker is entitled to all the necessary medical care relating to his injury. Compensation If a man is off work because of a job accident, we send him a tax-free compensation cheque every two weeks. Vocational rehabilita- tion If a worker requires rehabilitation services, including job retraining, before he can return to work, we will provide them. There is no limit to the amount of time and money we are able to spend to help a man get back on the job. Help us to help you We give every claim the same fast, fair and thorough attention. But to give everyone all the help they are entitled to in time of trouble, we need the co-operation of many people. We need a prompt report of every accident We can act on a report from the injured man, from his employer, or from his doctor. From the day we hear of the accident, we can put the first compen- sation cheque in the appli- cant's hands in five days. The disabled worker needs your goodwill Whether you're an em- ployer or a fellow worker, give him a chance to show what he can do. It's a man's abilities that count, not his disabilities.

Accident hazards will always exist; the way to avoid them is to work defensively. Our job Our job is to see that you get all the benefits of the Workmen's Com- pensation Act. This Act is financed by assessments on employers, and offers protection in the case of on-the-job accidents to more than two million men and women working in Ontario. —LOCAL Mrs. Ernest Adams has re- turned home from SeaforthCom- 'nullity Hospital where she has been a patient for several weeks.

Smiles • . 6 Responding to a knock on the door, a housewife found a man standing apologetically before her. "I Just ran over your cat on the street," he told her, "anti I'd like to replace her." "Well, get busy," snapped the 'housewife, 'there's a mouse in the pantry." Bright eyes usually are an indication of curiosity, and more often than not, black eyes are . • an indication of too mich curi- osity. Perhaps you've heard people refer to poorly-kept homes as pig sties. The description may be more apt than we realize. In fact, in the eyes of the lowly flea, pig sties are some- times preferable tec poorly-kept households. That's ;why a flea specialist in Canada Agriculture's Entomo- logy Research Institute here re- cently began an article by saying; "The human dwelling, es- pecially in primitive form is apparently a reasonable sub- stitute for a pig sty." Dr. George Holland, one of the world's leading authorities on fleas, says human beings and pigs are the two favbrite homes for fleas. In fact, fleas have followed man and pigs to the ends of the earth. Fleas can, of course, live on a number of other hosts, but the common denominator for the so- called human flea appears to be pigs and humans. What's even more curious is the fact that Homo sapiens is the only primate that has fleas. Dr. Holland recently com- pleted a study of fleas in New Guinea and has contributed some valuable information about the number of flea species there and their evolutionary pattern. He has also written a book about fleas in Canada. In both cases most of the work was done at home, almost as a hobby. In New Guinea, he found that pigs and humans were in close contact, often sharing the same quarters. In fact, pigs are so important to the natives as food that women -will nurse piglets along with their own children. Dr. Holland increased the list of known flea species in New Guinea from 30 to 58 and was able to describe the hitherto unknown males of three species and the females of another three. He added new knowledge about the distribution and hosts of many more flea species, yet he guesses that, even with his work, man has only catalogued about half of the fleas from this great trop- ical island. Dr. Holland says that most of the evolutiopary ancestors of the New Guinea fleas originated in Australia, even though none of these species exist today in Aus- tralia. "I believe these endemic species represent •a. major evol- utionary development that took place within New Guinea," says Dr. Holland. "It was probably associated with multiple in- vasions of the Australian region by murid rodents from Asia by island-hopping through, the East' Indies, the earlleSt migration occurring in the Miocene age." Dr. Holland says the human and,-cat flea owe their presence to invasion of the region by man, accompanied by his pigs and dogs. This invasion probably occurred in Pleistocene times. The human flea now occurs throughout the island , and is equally at home on the semi- domesticated pigs of the natives and on the ,natives themselves. "Incidentally, this cosmopo- litan pest, thought to have come from Europe, appears sporadic- ally across Canada," says Dr. Holland. "The hosts here are also pigs and man." Dr. Holland was particularly interested in studying the fleas of New Guinea because it is one large tropical area that has not been investigated. As the study shows, there has been consid- erable evolutionary development of the flea fauna specific to the island. "I was also interested in the relationship between the fleas and the -plants and animals of the island, since the plants are Asian in distribution while the animals, except for bats and rodents, are of Australian ancestry." Of the 21 genera of fleas known to be represented on ,the island, two arrived with man, pigs and dogs; four are undoubted immi- grants from southeast Asia on bats and rodents; and the remain- ing fifteen, on rodents and mar- supials, are derived from Aus- tralia or represent an inde- pendent evolutionary history in New Guinea itself. Dr. Holland's findings are reported in al50-page illustrated paper-back published by the En- tomological Society of Canada. • Pigs, Homes and Flees Accident Prevention Education .(a, Medical Care KVII Compensation Vocational Rehabilitation I I I I 1 L City Name.
