DR. PHILLIPS, HEALTH
MINISTER, VISITS HURON
A. very enjoyable evening was
spent Friday last by more than 360
persons at the Progressive Conserva-
tive rally at Pete Eisenbaoh's bush,
north of Bayfield,
The "bush" is a beautiful park of
stately pine trees, with street names
marking the driveways through it, In
the middle is Mr. 'Eisenbach's mod-
ern summer home.
A speakers' platform had been set
up in front of the lawn and rows of
benches for the audience. The weath-
er was perfect.
Hon. Dr. Mackinnon Phillips, Min-
ister of Health for Ontario, was
speaker of the evening.
Dr. Geo. S. Elliott, of Clinton, pre-
sident of the Huron'riding associa-
tion, was chairman, After extending
a welcome on behalf of the host, Mr.
Eisenbach, Dr. Elliott announced that
an -annual meeting and nominating
convention would be held this fall. A
striking committee was named to
draw up a slate of officers for that
meeting: Fred Sturdy, •Goderich;
Doug. Freeman, Clinton; 'Dr. McMast-
er, •Seaforth; Luther Penhale, Exet-
er; Valentine Becker, Dashwood.
r. Tom Pryde, M.P., Said this was
the second time a meeting had been
held here, the first being in 1952.
Dr. Phillips hada busy day in the
riding, visiting four hospitals during
the afternoon. Of highways, Mr.
Pryde said there are 140 miles of
Provincial Highways in Huron. Three
major contracts of rebuilding are in
progress now, East from Exeter for
six miles, Seaforth to Clinton, and
Clinton to west of Holmesville. Next
on the list will be the Zurich road
Mr. Pryde put an end to rumors
that he intended to quit. "I have
never said yes or no," Mr. Pryde
said, announcing that he will allow
his name to stand at the nominating
convention this fall.
Briefly reviewing the work of the
legislature, Mr. Pryde said the cab-
inet is doing a marvellous job. There
has been no tax increase in recent
years. Heavy demands are made by
each department. Education costs
are staggering. Froin an expenditure
of only eight million a few years ago,
this year it is sixty-one million.
Highways have gone up from 43 mil-
lion to 141 million.
The municipalities are getting un-
conditional grants this year of over
12 million on a per capita basis. He
thought it a good rule this year that
tax bills show how much the munici-
pality gets from the provincial gov-
ernment. Exeter got a total of 956,-
000 for services, the tax rate would
be double without these grants. Clin-
ton got $54,000, and so on in each
municipality. The opposition criti-
cizes us for not giving more, he said.
The only change in Huron under re-
distribution, is that Grand Bend goes
into Lambton, as it already had done
municipally.
An election might come in a year
or 18 months, Mr. Pryde guessed.
Mr. Elgin McKinley of Stanley
township was next speaker. He com-
pared the Toronto and Ottawa gov-
ernments. Both are strong numeri-
cally in the house, but there the sim-
ilarity ends. At Toronto bills go be-
fore the caucus and are discussed. At
Ottawa, he said he had on good au-
thority, even Liberal members don't
know what is coming up until they
are asked to vote for bills in the
house.
Elston Cardiff, M.P., thanked all
Who had worked to elect him last
summer. South Huron had been Lib-
eral for so many years, they had
tried to get rid of him at Ottawa by
putting parts of the two ridings to-
gether. He thanked Mr. Eisenbach
for inviting us to this -lovely spot on
such a perfect night and everybody
enjoys corning here. Mr. Cardiff said
he would be on the radio Sunday
morning. He said his attendance re-
cord in the House of 'Commons was
as good as any, but he sometimes
wondered whether a member's first
duty Was at Ottawa or among the
constituents more".
Introducing Hon. Dr. Phillips, Mr.
Pryde said he was horn near the
boundary of Dufferin and Grey and
had practised in Gwen Sound until
becoming minister five years ago.
Dr. Phillips gave an informative
address, mixed with hits of homely
philosophy and advice. Through-
out his address he emphasized the
great"growth of the work in all gov-
ernment departments. In 1883 ,his
Department of Health had started
with a yearly budget of $25,000.
Around thirty years ago Dr, Forbes
Godfrey's budget was half a million.
Now it.is sixty-five million. He spoke
of the large amounts to hospitals,
stating that Ontario paid 1.87 for
every 1.00 granted by the federal
governrneut. •

Sarnia, Tillsonburg, Courtland, Lon-
don and surrounding district. Greet-
ings were received from: England,
Lincoln, Nebraska; California; New
Jersey, Anderson, Indiana; LaCrosse,
Wisconsin, and London.
Of health units, Dr. Phillips said
the idea was first outlined in the
'80's by Dr, Bryce, but the first unit
was not formed until 1932, in Stor-
mont -Glengarry. The second was in
1945, and the 28th was recently
started at Fort William, Population
to support a unit economically
should be 50 to 76 thousand popula-
tion, ho said, and something must be
done to divide Ontario into districts
which would spread out the rising
costs. It may be impossible to follow
county boundaries.
There are three great enemies of
health, the minister said: overweight,
over exercise and worry.
He praised the beautiful reforesta-
tion at Mr. Eisenbach's, stating that
loss of trees is drying up our streams,
causing pollution. Top soil which was
14 to 16 inches deep in pioneer times
was reduced to 11.3 in 1910 and in
1952 was only 7.8 inches. We are
destroying 90 per cent of everything
we take off the soil -and farmers de -

pend on artificial fertilizers, the val-
ue of which goes out in a couple of
year's. There is no vitamin value in
the grain then. Soyabeans are the
only thing with vitamin E in com-
mercial
oomercial quantities. A project is now
being worked out to sell to farmers
what looks like soil and contains 22
minerals. The greatest enemy of the
world today, he said, is not the bomb,
but hunger. The way to peace was to
clothe and feed the hungry millions
of the east.
In closing Dr. Phillips again refer-
red to this beautiful forest, which, he
said, contains as much health •as all
the hospitals,
