PRESIDENT, ONTARIO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION Emergency! This is one of the most electrifying words in the English language. If you were to ask six people for a definition, you would probably get as many different ans­ wers. Someone would probably say that an emergency is a crisis; all, however, would consider it as a situ­ ation demanding immediate action. Bp that as it may, the fact remains that few words in the English lang­ uage can so quicken the pulse, arouse interest and create suspense. This is an era of mechanization— and of accidents. In Ontario today there are more motor vehicles than ever before. There* are more people travelling high speed highways. There are more industrial plants and ’more men and women operating their’ machines. More and more farmers ar? using motor-driven power machinery. Because of these facts there is an increasing number of accidents, with the result that the hospital emergency department is fast becoming one of the most important of the modern hospital. thatThe situation is such today every public hospital of any size must maintain a special department to meet emergencies, no matter what hour of day or night they may occur. As a matter of fact hospitals today are extending and improving their emergency departments to meet the increasing demands, They find that they must be ready and prepared to deal with broken limbs, cases of shock, loss of blood, states of coma, poisoning, burns and a host of other conditions, One major problem often encounter­ ed by the hospital and medical staffs in emergency departments is that of dealing with relatives, particularly in accident cases. Worried, anxious and distraught, these well meaning frequently cause confusion, delayed treatment and loss of patience, by taking the doctor’s time and attention, often by asking repeated questions, many of which are irrelevant and even irrational. This is very trying on the emergency department staff, especially at night by CORRECTING those FOOT TROUBLES SEE MR. S. LINDER, of Kitchener, well-known FOOT SPECIALIST and .

The tenseness and Strain of dealing with patients in "Emergency” is sufficient without the added burden of a rapid-fire third degree which can accomplish little or nothing. Because the emergency depart­ ments pf our public hospitals must handle a wide variety of serious con­ ditions, the equipment there is often equally as elaborate as in most oper­ ating rooms. They have a special oper­ ating table, powerful and flexible operating lights, often a special frac­ ture table and special equipment for various eye, ear, nose and throat work, and modern equipment for re­ suscitation, Frequently, in the emergency de­ partment, a patient suffering from shock or from loss of blood requires intravenous injections or a blood transfusion, Sometimes patients are treated who are in a state of coma, i that is unconscious, due to diabetes, nephritis or perhaps the taking of some drug. In some cases it is not always easy to diagnose the patient’s condition. Frequently, quick laboratory tests are required, for it is essential that *the right treatment, or an antidote if that be necessary, be given with a mini­ mum of delay. The Emergency Department is often the setting for thrilling motion pic­ tures, radio plays and magazine stor­ ies. Yet in real life many equally thrilling but never-publicized dramas occur time without number, all of which are handled with dispatch and efficiency. This is just another of the many important departments of your hospital equipped, manned and ready to serve you at any time. PIG SCOURS Scours in suckling pigs can be caused by either deficiencies or infections. Therefore, when young pigs are scouring it is advisable to give them a mul­ tiple drug remedy that is effec­ tive against both deficiencies and infections. Nixon’s Pellagrex V.M.A. Paste supplies the Vitamins, Minerals and Antibiotics with Iron to help prevent or correct both deficien­ cy scours, anemia, and infectious enteritis (infectious scours) in suckling pigs, In addition, the Vitamins, Minerals and Antibi­ otics in V.M.A. Paste help to stimulate growth and build natural resistance against fur­ ther infection. V.M.A. Paste is supplied in tubes with plastic applicators which makes it very easy to administer.

In fact, owing to the scarcity and high cost of skilled labour, farmers found in mechaniz­ ation the means to maintain their operations efficiently and profitably. And the chart above clearly shows an outstanding achievement by the Company in maintaining prices at a low level of increase over 1941. The index for Massey-Harris prices of implements and tractors sold in Canada has increased by only 66.8% from 1941, whereas the index of “all Commodities” shows an increase of 76.8%. The index of raw materials that go into farm implements is up by 80.2% and the index Of hourly rates of pay in Massey-Harris- Ferguson Canadian plants is up by . 173.9%. Farm products prices index is 76.1% higher and the index of farm labour wage rates is 170.2% over that of 1941. To place equipment in the hands of the farmer at the lowest price practicable, farm implement prices over the years have been held to an exceptionally low level of increase in the face of the great advances in the cost of labour and materials; In ability to do a lot of Work quickly and easily, in quality of materials and workmanship and in price, farm implements and tractors offer exceptional value for the money.

This appeal is directed at all Ontario sportsmen by Vince Crichton, fish and wildlife supervisor, Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, who has a 12-year- old son of his own. Says he: “The fishing is under way. Friend wife is still reminding us not to clutter up the kitchen table at nights as we oil and clean reels, sharpen hooks and do all the off things in preparation for matching our wits against the finny tribe. “This enthusiasm is not confined to adults. The young ones, especially the boys, also are beginning to get that look of anticipation only sur­ passed by a day at some good fishing hole. “Our ownb oy like ourself and many I others, passes through some very in­ teresting stages on the road to man­ hood. Many of these happy memories are direct results vof fishing trips. There is always a beginning. Dad takes his three or four-year-old son out one day fishing. He is quite pleased to be holding a rod and reel —but a little afraid, perhaps, when something is wriggling at the end of the line. Dad pulls it in and a small pike flops around the canoe, much to the chagrin of the young lad, who, by now, has a few tears in his eyes. “A few weeks go by and the young lad asks to go fishing again. There are no tears this time, though the antics of a small pike in the canoe can still cause years go by until the lad has reach­ ed seven or eight. In the interval, he has done much fishing and Dad has had some anxious moments because his best rod and reel were being used. Then comes the day when the boy wants a rod and reel of his own and a few hooks. These are kept in Dad’s tackle box which is already over­ crowded. “The next year h'e acquires a tackle box, just like Dad’s, as a reward for passing his school exams, and it .has found a place of reverence in the household. Dad’s box finds its way into his son’s—and, with a grin, he has to ask for the loan of a few hooks some day. The transformation is complete and, between 10 and 12, the boy becomes a full-fledged partner on every fishing trip. “Where once Dad did all the fish­ ing, he now does all the paddling. With a feeling of satisfaction he looks to the day when son picks up the canoe and Dad takes a lighter load. “Take a boy fishing this year! Take your son—and the neighbours! You will be well rewarded for what might seem to be some trouble. You will teach the boys the reasons for con­ servation. You, In return, will have peace of mind and learn many things about your boy that you never knew before. “Remember, Allah does not deduct from man’s allotted span the* hours spent in fishing!” 4 some fear.
