Mental Health
MENTAL HEALTH is still a major prob-
lem in Canada, but there are two bright recent
developments. The Canadians people have al-
most ceased to look upon mental disease as
something to be ashamed of and to cover up,
and the Canadian governments are expanding
provision for -treating mental diseases adequat-
ely, cemments the Monthly Letter of The Royal
Bank of Canada.
There is no stigma attached to mental ill-
health. Patients are sick people. The idea
that they are weak characters who could get
over their disability if they would only pull
themselves together is on its way out. The
superstition that they are possessed by demons
Is being killed by education, Mental illness
is no more disgraceful to the sufferer or his
family than a broken leg,
It is no wonder that there should be dis-
c' " eases of the mind as well as of the body. The
human brain is the most complicated structural
apparatus known to science, A great neurolo-
gist says. "If all the equipment of the tele-
graph, telephone and radio of the North
American Continent ceuld be squeezed into a
half-gallon cup, it would be less intricate than
the three pints of brains that fills your skull
and mine,'
What are the signs of mental health? Not
merely the absence of disease, but deeply-felt
happiness. Mental health is. the adjustment of
human beings to the world and to one an-
other with a maximum of effectiveness. It
means having the ability to maintain an even
temper, an alert intelligence, an acceptable
social behaviour, and a happy disposition.
The mentally healthy person knows him-
self, accepts himself and is himself, A leaflet
on the subject says people who are mentally
healthy feel comfortable about themselves, feel
right about other ,people, and are able to meet
the demands of life.
All Work—No Pay
(A CWNA
FRANKLY, we feel it's just about time
that Ottawa started contributing to the payroll
of our staff, particularly the office end of it.
As a matter of fact, the amount of work
done for the government, and the time involved,
makes us feel that we're already on the gov-
ernment's payroll; it's simply someone has
Merely forgotten to send its the weekly cheque.
Many, many hours are spent on behalf of
the government each month, and not only do
we not get paid for it, it invariably comes out
that we have to pay them more.
There's the matter of sales tax, for ex-
ample. Nearly every bit of printing done re-
quires sales tax. We figure it out, record it,
take athe dirty looks as a result of someone be-
ing asked to pay it, and use up our cheques
• Bayfield River in the Month of March
. (By D. R. Cutts, Manager, Provincial Fish Hatchery, Southampton)
Editorial)
and our stamps, and letterhead, to send the
money in to Ottawa. And to crown it ail, we
have to pay for a licence to act as Ottawa's
collecting agency.
Then there's the matter of unemployment
insurance, and the hours of figuring and stamp-
licking and what-not that goes into that.• No
thanks, mind you, or a slight cut for our ef-
forts. Merely a blast if the thing isn't done,
correctly. And, of course, there's income tax,
and innumerable reports required now and
then.
Our staff is probably doing all this be-
cause the paid civil servants are now working
on a 35-hour week, or is it 30? We'd like
that, too---before we qualify for that new
pension that begins for everyone at 70—if we
make it.
'SPRING WORKS its first magic in March.
Some look upon April and May as the fiist
spring months, but to anyone who has watch-
ed for signs through the winter, it is plain to
see that March is the beginning of spring.
The groundhog may emerge from its den
to look for its shadow on February 2, but he
is more likely to come out of hibernation a
few days in March when the sun gathers
strength,. pouring its warmth upon the earth
that has been locked in winter's freezing blast
for several months, March is a month of
melting snow and mud, thawing during the
day, atad freezing up again overnight.
In March; the land that has been locked
in snow and ice for many moons, hears a new'
'sound—the rustle of running water in place of
Silent snow. The first warm clays bring only a
trickle but as the sun grows stronger a loud
murmur is heard, as tiny rivulets form grad-
ually—growing stronger—hurrying down slopes
'to join the brooks. This music of spring in-
creases as the water splashes into creeks and
rushes on into larger streams which pour their
gathering floods into the bigger rivers, forc-
ing them to give up their coating of winter's
ice.
It is impressive to see and hear nature's
breakup" of this mighty river's ice-cap, start-
ing with a grinding roar: great cracks appear-
ing, floes breaking off, as the whole mass
starts downstream, gathering momentum. Some-
times it meets an obstacle which stops and piles
up the huge floes, one on top of the other,
with a fearful groaning sound, damming the
water behind it until its weight smashes the
obstruction and the flood roars relentlessly
into Lake Huron,
By the end of March, nature has completed
another task, it has awakened the spawning
urge in many of our fish species; The Roods
having receded to a normal flow, gentle spring
rains have raised the cold winter water temp-
erature a few degrees. The sucker, rainbow
trout, along with their predator, :the lamprey
eel, know it is time. for them to" make their
way up the river and aeek suitable clean gravel
areas where the mating process is carried out.
Nature also has awakened a restless urge
in the angler, for he too has been waiting and
watching for the river's breakup and his
thoughts flash to his rod and reel with the
expectant pleasure they may bring him. He
is a true sportsman, realizing he must wait
until the proper time arrives, allowing the
fish that pre-ceded him up the river to, com-
plete reproduction for his sport. The remain-
ing time is likely spent checking over his
tackle, re-packing his creel or going to the
Sportsmen's Show, to admire and re-plenish his
fishing gear that will bring him happy mom-
ents when the season officially opens.
Breathless Driving
AN ATTEMPT to introduce chemical
breath tests as evidence in drunk driving cases
will be made soon in Toronto, according to
The Financial Post. Police recently completed
an exhaustive series Of trials with breath test-
ing equipment and are convinced of the accur-
acy and fairness of the system.
However, a stiff legal 'battle is expected
in getting the tests accepted by Provincial
courts. Police are biding their time until a
suitable case comes along.
No one will be forced to take a breath
test against his will,
If breath tests are admitted as evidence,
Ontario will be following the lead of 39 U.S.
states, which now accept them as proof of
drunkenness at the wheel.
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY
More than 180 service clubs in
Ontario, united as supporters of
the Ontario Society for Crippled
Children, have 4,800 handicapped
patients undergoing treatment,
care or training at the present
time, according to Reg Hopper,
Executive Director of the Speiety.
With the objective, if possible,
of establishing victims of par-
alysis or congenital conditions
such as harelip as self-supporting
citizens, the Society acts as an
agency which brings together pa-
tients not receiving attention and
business and professional Men
willing to help them., Through
the service clubs, whose annual
sale of Easter Seals contributes
to the funds needed, hundreds of
patients have been aided. This
year's Easter Seal Campaign,
with a $400,000 objective, opened
March 13 and continues until
April 13, under the auspices of
Clinton Lions Club, Dr. 3. A. Ad-
dison, committee chairman.
With 16 nurses in districts
throughout the proaince, co-op-
erating with public health offic-
ials, teachers and physicians,
serious cases are assembled at
clinics to whichaprominent spec-
ialists volunteer their time. If
hospitalization is recommended,
the Society arranges it, In less
serious cases, the travelling nur-
ses provide treatment or train
mothers to administer it. All :the
nurses are graduates in public

TELEPHONE RATES
Editor,
Clinton News-Record
DEAR 'SIR;
One of the things that practic-
ally everyone in Canada takes
for granted is telephone service,
There are about three million
telephones in use in Canada and
in one recent year the telephone
companies handled four and a
half billion calls, or about 1,670
calls per telephone. Only the
\United States acid the United
Kingdom have more telephone/
than Canada,
The telephone is so common in
this country, in fact, that it is
accepted without comment—until
there is a bump in the rates.
While it is too bad that phone
costs and all other living costs
can't remain stationary while
wages and salaries go up, perhaps
it is not a bad thing that in-
creased telephone rates receive so
much attention. For one thing it
may tend to emphasize how use-
ful the telephone is to Canadians
and how it is a measure of the
high standard of living we enjoy
in this country In comPatisbia
with most of the rest of the
World; for another the publicity
on rate increases may focus at-
iteetion on the taxation that
'
Can-
adians pay without really being
aware of It.
When Ottawa recently gave the
Bell company permission to in-
crease its rates iri Order to obtain
an additional $14,339,000 during
than half, will go hi. Dominion
and provincial corporation taxes.
It also was estimated that the
total. to .be paid by the company
this yea a in corporation income
taxes would be $24,391,000. Any-
one who believes that it is not
the customer who pays corpora-
tion taXee Should have hia ideas
corrected by this disclosure.
Sincerely,
(Signed) L. GOUGH,

At all-year schools and spec-

In addition, nursing centres
are operated as permanent estab-
lishments, three — at Kingston,
Sault Ste. Marie and Kitchener--
having been added to the service
during 1951.
During the past year •there has
been a considerable extension of
the Society's work in the field
of Cerebral Palsy. In addition
to the direct aid it has furnished,
it has co-operated , with other
organizations mad co-ordinated
their efforts. A new enterprise
was a mobile clinic which visited
many Ontario cities and towns
last summer demonstrating im-
proved methods 'of coping with
the problems furnished by Cere-
bral Palsy.
Another activity of the Society
is Variety Village, Toronto, which
it operates for the Variety Club.
Variety Village provides voca-
tional training for handicapped
youths and helps them take a
self-sustaining place in industry.

The legality of "bottle 'clubs"
has been called in question. It
looked as if they were going to
get away with their invasion of
the law. Their members bought
tickets. With these tickets they
purchased their liquor. There was
no money transaction for liquor,
and so the law was not broken.
The tickets camouflaged the in-
fraction of the law. Now, the
officers of the law. have ,decided
that the camouflage is too thin.
They have challenged the validity
of the "bottle club." It remains
to be seen whether law breakers
can, make a fool of the law, or
whether the intent -and purpose
of the law is to be sustained.
