TO. t$1:2 OR NOT TO- BEER
There has been a great to do about
the beer question this past week or
more. The usual buck passing from
Toronto to Ottawa and Ottawa 'to
Toronto with a. little Echnonort thrown
in has created some interest, The way .
that these matters are presented to the
public creates a most confusing atti-
tude in the minds of the public. Those
who are for more beer are not satis-
fied and those who are for, throwing
the suds out entirely are wondering
what it is all about also. This matter
of beer and liquor cannot be divorced
from polities completely as the policy
under which we operate must be decid-
ed by our elected representatives. We
believe that to run this business as
properly as it can be it should however
be removed as far as possible from the
political field. If the government
could set us a system which would be
effective, say for ten years, and then
appoint a commission to carry on the
business of administration over that
period, After that time the whole
policy could be reviewed and the
policy determined for another period.
* * e *
SOMETHING SHOULD
BE DONE ABOUT THIS
During the last week we read that
two Sanatoriums were closing a por-
tion of their hospitals due to lack of
staff. Then the Queen Alexandra
Sanitarium says that some of their
wards may have to close for the same
reason. Sanitoriums are not the only
institutions which do health work that
are feeling the pinch. Practically all
hospitals are working short ktaffed
and this conditions is so general that
something should be done about it.
* * *
IT TAKES MORE THAN PLANES
There has been a school of thought
which had the idea that bombing
could crush the enemy. The recent
assault from the air on Cassino in
Italy has shown that this is not so.
The boys that fly did a great job
there. They dumped thousands of
tons of bombs into the town and they
left the place a shambles. But as soon
as the straffing from the air was over
the Germans were hack in, there fight-
ing with a bitterness that was most
surprising under the cireumstichees.
The planes can do a job similar to
that .of artillery bet then the. objective
must be stormed by ground forces to
complete the undertaking. We do no
wish to take away from the airforce
any credit that is theirs, for they des-
erve our everlasting gratitude, We
merely wish to point out that bombing
is a preliminary to an attack not the
attack.

ONTARIO HEALTH
PUN INTRODUCED
Government's intention to force upon
any area a service not desired. Where
satisfactory plans already were in op-
eration, it would not be necessary to
dispense with them,
Municipalities would be able tO
obtain health services available by-
raising the necessary fueds through a
choice of taxation.
"At the present time," the minister
said, "some areas will be unable to
raise the money. yb assist such areas,
the Provincial Government is prepared
to pay limited grants based on need.
The financial assistance will be in-
creased to aid with additional services
when our normal taxing powers are re-
stored and' the facilities-become avail-
able."

Premier Drew in a statement said
$3,500,000 will be. contributed, 'by the
province this year toward the cost of
education in Ontario in addition to
anything paid in the past.
The statement said the grant would
be a temporary measure adopted while

which would be necessary before Gov-
ernment plans to assume 50 per cent
of education costs• could be implement,

The premier's statement, issued on,
the eve of the provincial. budget in the
Legislature, noted: his words in the
elettion campaign of last August that
the Provincial Government would as-

Ontario's proposed municipal health
plan, designed to provide specified
health services partly 'financed by
proviercial grants, was introduced in
the Legislative,
Introducing the Government's health
bal e Health Minister Dr. R. P, Vivian
said it was designed to make it pos-
sible to render health -services to
municipalities-through municipal taxes
and provincial grants and to create a
sound plan for future expansion,
"It is obvious that an over-all pro-
Vincial plan at the present time is not
possible," the minister said.
In a statement later, Dr. Vivian said
there were 4,480 physicians in .Ontario
in 1080 but now there were only 3,-
665, with More than 1,500 doctors orf
active iservice, This limited facilities
for rendering adequate service.
"The services required to fulfill an
adequate program," Dr. Vivian said,
"include those of hospitals, for acute,
convalescent and eltrenic care, nurses,
physicians, specialists, dentists, etc.
These services will be co-ordinated
through a health services board, repre-
senting the technical and professional
personnel performing this task.
