WHOOPING COUGH IMMUNIZATION IS STILL NECESSARY Whooping cough is still a serious killer of babies, often striking them before they are 3 months old. For this reason the Health League of Canada reminds parents that it is dangerous to procrastinate in immunization against this disease. This is Canada’s Twelfth National Immunization Week, sponsored by the Health League of Canada, a national voluntary organi­ zation in the preventive medicine field, in co-operation with public health departments. In 1953, there were 142 deaths from whopping cough in Canada, the Lea­ gue points out. Most of these deaths were infant deaths (under one year of age). In the same year there were 8,520 cases of whooping cough. Whoop­ ing cough, even when it does not kill, is a persistent, racking disease which is heartbreaking to watch in a small child. Any mother who has had two or more children ill with whoopng cough at the same time will bear witness to this fact, if she is not too exhausted to bear witness to anything. Moreover the lingering after effects of the dis­ ease can impair total health. Dr. R. J. Wilson of the University of Toronto said, in a recent issue of Health magazine, published by the Health League; “In Ontario, from 1945-1950, thirty- six per cent of the total (whooping cough) deaths occurred under three months of age, sixty per cent under 6 months of age, and seventy-eight percent under one year. Whooping- cough vacine, therefore, to be effective in preventing deaths, must be admin- Algonquin Bark’s unique Nature Museum attracted more than 50,000 visitors last year, 43,346 from Ontario, 7,057 from 44 States of the U.S. and Mexico and 854 from 51 other countries. The museum is part of the extensive Nature Programme carried out by officers of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Nature programmes are proving popular also at Rondeau and Sibley Provincial Parks,—Ont. Dept, of Lands & Forests Photo. SOW CONCENTRATE istered very early in life, preferably at about 3 months of age.” In recent years it has been possible to use a single immunizing mixture against whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus. In New York City, where it has become standard procedure to start injections of this mixture, at 3, 4 and 5 months of age and a booster­ shot at one year of age, whooping cough deaths declined from an aver­ age of 302 per cent in the years 1920— 1924 to an average of 2 deaths in the years 1950—1953. There were no whooping cough deaths in New York in 1952. There are about 160,000 births per year in New York City compared to about 190,000 in all of Canada. Immunization against child-killers such as whooping cough is neither in­ convenient nor expensive. The Health League of Canada urges all parents to make contact with their local doc­ tors or public health officials and take steps to eliminate unnecessary deaths from Canada. ■ s ■ Any successful hog raising program must g start with the sow.

I Those Type Errors It’s gotten so we can’t read any­ thing any more without looking' for and spotting, without too much effort, errors of one kind or another. Typos prey so on our mind that we can’t enjoy reading for pleasure only. Per­ haps we ought to adopt the philoso­ phical attitude of the Chinese editor who said something like this: “Ameri­ can editor strive to eliminate all typo­ graphical errors, but Chinese editor leave a few so readers will have the pleasure of finding them.” That’s as good an alibi as we know for missing a typo, and furthermore we think we’ll adopt that attitude, too, and quit worrying about them. —The Inland Printer You cant qoL„, ALLDUTiS I'► Drop in and ask us about this low cost program. ■CANADA PACKERS LTD.

Today’s tense living, lowered resistance, overwork, worry—any of these may affect normal kidney action. When kidneys get out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system. Then backache, disturbed rest, that “tired-out” heavy- headed feeling often follow. That’s the time to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd’s stimulate the kidneys to normal action. Then you feel better—.sleep better—work better. Ask for Dodd’s Kidney Pills al any drug counter. 53 TB PATIENTS AIDED BY ART THERAPY * Art therapy is now an established part of the routine in Victoria, T.B. Hospitals, according to an article by Joyce Swannell, art therapist,,, in the current issue of Health magazine, published by the Health League of Canada. “But this does' not mean that it works by hard and fast rule,” says Miss Swannell. “In fact its very es­ sence must’ be flexibility. It must be elastic enough to meet the needs of each interested person and these needs are as varied as human personality, “Miss A, who has dabbled with paints before wants to be taught tech­ nique; Mrs. B. is curious and would like to understand modern art; Mrs. C. a well-read and intelligent woman is anxious to study the history and in- trepretation of art; little Miss D wants to paint a pretty picture to show to her friends; Mr. X. wants something, anything, to occupy his mind. “While the broad aims, relaxation through creation and self-expression, have not changed, and while the gen­ eral approach is still to encourage free emotional experiment with color and to develop the fundamentals of picture building, the instruction has been given for the most part to bed patients. Exhibitions keep everyone in touch with what goes on in the room next door. Together With creat­ ive’ drawing, painting has proved to be most helpful to patients who have too much time on their hands and a great need to escape from their own private worlds.” Fishing Bad When Fish Too Numerous Stocking of fish in Ontario’s lakes and streams isn’t a cure-all but is only one of the various fish manage­ ment tools, according to officials of the Department of Lands and Forests. "For warm waters we must rely on planting small fish. Raising game fish to adult size in hatcheries costs a for- tune,” they pointed out. Rearing a bass to 12 inches would cost an esti­ mated "$2.00 to $4.00. Not over half the planted fish can be expected to be caught. This raises the average price of each bass creeled to $4.00 to $8.00.” In recent years, Ontario has been successful in transplanting fish such as the bass from lakes which were over-supplied and which did not have the food capacity to . accommodate such large numbers. The experts ex­ plain that in gome cases sportsmen reported “the lake is full of fish, but they are all too small. Why not put some large ones in it?” But that isn’t the solution, strangely enough. The problem is solved by netting many of the smaller fish and transferring them to less heavily-supplied lakes—thus giving the remaining fish a chance to grow. New Swine Bulletin Valuable to Breeders Every hog producer in Ontario in­ terested in profitable hog production Will find much valuable information contained, in "Swine Husbandry in Ontario”, a bulletin just issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, The work of a committee consisting of staff members of the Ontario Agri­ cultural College, the Ontario Veter­ inary College and the Live Stock Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, the bulletin will prove to be of real value to Ontario hog producers be they large <?r small in their operations. Chapters on breeds and breeding, buildings and equipment, feeds and and feeding, management, marketing and disease and parasite control will bring the hog producer up to date on the latest findings of experts in the various fields. According to the authors the appli­ cation of the information can result in swine becoming a profitable market outlet for coarse grains, milling and dairy by-products and the by-products of other industries, All facts and factors which in the opinion of the authors will contribute to the produc­ tion of a quality product on a profit­ able basis have been included. The bulletin, (No. 500) may be ob­ tained from the Statistics and Publi­ cations Branch of the Ontario Depart­ ment of Agriculture, Toronto, or through the local Agricultural Repre­ sentative. DIPHTHERIA ANING THANKS TO TOXOID Diphtheria is on the wane in Can­ ada, pays the Health League of Can­ ada, but the fact that there are any deaths from it at all is an indication of almost criminal carelessness some­ where, The Health League a national voluntary association in the field of preventive medicine, is sponsoring Canada’s 12th National Immunization Week, Sept, 26 to Oct 2, in co­ operation with public health depart­ ments. In 1952, the League points out, there were 26 deaths from diphtheria. Com­ pared with the 1,281 deaths from that disease in 1924, this shows amazing progress in preventive medicine. How­ ever it should not be forgotten that the 26 deaths in 1952 were unnecessary and preventable, while many of the 1,281 deaths jn 1924 could hardly have been avoided. Toxoid, which provide# immunity to diphtheria, was not known and readily available to every­ one/ as it is today. At the present stage of development it should be pos- • sjble to report no deaths at all from diphtheria or any of the other diseases which are preventable by immunize^ tion, says the Health League. The City of Brantford, Ont., has not had a case of diphtheria since 1833, What is true of Brantford equid be true of all Canada, with very little difficulty. Immunization is a quick, simple and -inexpensive pro­ cedure. Diphtheria, when it strikes, is neither quick, simple nor inexpen­ sive, The Health League urges all parents to make at least one trip to the family doctor or health depart* ment. ft may save many trips later..
