We find it very difficult to re­ tain the role of reporter in this column. To be a proper reporter one should report, rather than de­ liver rambling discourses of per­ sonal opinion. However to report factually on what has happened at the airfield in the past week would make rather dull reading to any­ one other than those involved, and would in all probability get me into a mess that only the Security Coun­ cil of the United Nations straighten out. We might take the style Broadway columnist and “What Senior NCO has a red face from being caught late for par­ ade,” or “what kind of a fighting man would let his wife keep him from coming to the station stag parties”, but that sort of thing is no so good either. In spite of the from time to time at our airport ball that it is about time to hand out a few bouquets. The games that we have seen have been well han­ dled and properly contested. We think that the sportsmanship of the players was somewhat better than that of the spectators. Prob­ ably we have all been too well conditioned, by professional sport spectacles where winning is more important than the game itself.

A Balanced Ration Means Increased Hog Profits Extra $$$ can be yours if you balance your home grown grains with SHUR-GAIN Hog’ Con­ centrate because you can (1) Raise more hogs to bonus grades. (2) Ship your hogs to markets from 6 to 8 weeks earlier. A Hidden Menace To The Poultry Flock The harmful effects of lice mites on. poultry not being mediately visible, tlieir presence is often not detected until large num­ bers of them exist. At the 'Dominion Experimental station at Harrow, Ont., frequent examination of the birds and fix­ tures for the pests have proved that eradication is fairly simple when carried out during the early stages of infestation. The common body its the area around the bird and usually ters of the insects can be seen ad­ hering to the base of the abdom­ inal feathers of the birds. Mites prefei’ to spend the day on the under side of the roosts or in cracks or nail holes in the build­ ing, making nightly visits to the resting fowl to feed. Because of the different habits of the para­ sites, methods of control must vary accordingly. A smear of nicotine sulphate, a half inch wide along the top of the roose put on before dark, will rid most of the birds of lice. Of course, to delousing the roost, require a small quantity of blue ointment smeared on the skin around the vent of the bird is an effective treatment, though taking more time. Blue ointment should not -be used when eggs hatching, into the way of poisonous cides requires cautious handling Slow drying, oil bearing sprays are usually recommended as a treatment against the so-called red mite. Crude carbolic, used motor oil, or any disinfectant having a creosite base, diluted with kerosene should be sprayed forcibly into the places where ing.

MAKE MORE PROFITS Poliomyelitis The Incidence of Paralysis It has ‘ been estimated that the chances of a child in the 0-9 age group developing even slight paral- usis are about one in six thousand, and death one in nineteen thous­ and. The chance of developing par­ alysis in the older age group is still more remote. In crippled persons in Ontario, less cent of persons crippling cause to Poliomyelitis. The Age Group Most Affected The great majority of cases cur in children in the 5-9 age gri Children in not nor age that velop Poliomyelitis, our attempt to control the disease should ’be dir­ ected towards the age groups most susceptible. All attempts to control Poliomyelitis by such radical steps as the curtailment of community life, closing of all schools and mov­ ies, have proven of little value. How Parents May Help Do not use unsafe milk or water. See that the children do not swim in polluted water. In the event of an outbreak in your municipality, it should be the parents’ responsibility to see that their children do not attend parties, frequent swimming pools, movies or public gatherings. What We Should Do When Poliomyelitis Invades Put youi’ child to bed. On the first sign not become panicky. Let your physician ately. Isolate him until makes, a diagnosis. Only a very few from paralysis. Make $ure you kill all flies. You should protect all food from flies. Eliminate their 'breeding places. Let us pay. more attention to sani­ tation and Cleanliness. Insist upon knowing your child's whereabouts. Tell your children not to play too strenuously,1 oi’ swim in polluted waters. Invitations to parties, movies, baby shows, should be declined for children 0-14. Sick playmates should be avoided. i Ann Street, EXETER, Phone 355W Dr. J. W.

G. Blair (PC^Lanark). The return showed that a short­ age of hospital beds has existed foi’ many years in mental hospi­ tals, tuberculous institutions, hos­ pitals for the chronically ill and convalescent hospitals. But the shortage of hospital facilities for acute diseases, now rated at 8,000 beds, has become acute only since 1940. Present needs in hospital bed capacity in Canada were listed as follows: acute diseases hospitals, 8.000; convalescent hospitals, 5,000; chronically ill, 3,000; tuber­ culosis, 5,000, and mental hospi­ tals, 6,000. Figures at December 31, 1945, showed a total of 121,- 758 beds, including 58,9 40 for acute diseases, 800 for convales­ cents, 3,280 for chronically ill, 13,614 for tuberculosis, and 45,124 mental. The return said that national health insurance could be imple­ mented only by a considerable ex­ pansion in hospital. facilities throughout the country. In the Dominion proposals out­ lined at the 'Dominion-Provincial conference in August, 1945, it had been proposed that the federal gov­ ernment should provide loans to the provinces entering health in­ surance agreements for necessary expansion of hospitals. Regarding nursing services need­ ed in the Dominion, the return showed hospital requirements of 7,000 nurses, private duty require­ ments of 1,200 and public health requirements of 500. Ration of population per doc­ tor was another item of the return, which showed that in cities of 150,000 and over, there are 665 persons for each doctor. In cities of 30,000 to 150,000 there were 669 persons, in cites of 10,000 to 30,000 857 persons, and in com­ munities of 10,000 and under, 1,- 300 persons.
