—without ever receiving a bill.
Hospitalization, medicine and pills
do not come under this plan and
must be paid for.
It all started seven years ago, in
January of 1937, when )r. Trefry
arrived from Pernbroke, Ontario, as
municipal doctor. The four island
municipalities had no authority to
levy taxes for medical services to the
nlan was put on a voluntary basis.
Those who wished the doctor's' ser-
vices would pay $2.50 a year, the
councils would handle the 'collections
and pay the doctor his salary which
is $3,600 a year. Any who did not
wish to participate couldd pay for
the doctor's services as required in
the mina way.
Very few failed to take advantage
of the plan, and even though the
Ontario government has legislated
So that councils can now levy taxes
for this service, the plan in St. Jo-
seph's is still on a voluntary basis.
In the seven years the health of
the residents has improved and with
I i • improvement of health has came

a change in the type of service ren-
, dered. At first the bulk of the work
e was surgery, now it is preventative
a medicine.
t Because of the cost of operatiions
- 111 the days before the Trefry plan,
1 many of the Islanders had postponed
' operations for ailments . that only
surgery could cure. They were quick
to take advantage of the plan, and
for the first two years the doctor
g tvas kept busy with operations, many
of which should have been performed
,
loing before. The people no longer
weated until they were seriously ill
before calling a doctor, and so many
I illnesses wer cured in the early
stages.
A "bugbear" on the island during
the pre-Trefry days had been goitre
because St. Joseph's lies in one of
Canada's goitre belts, Goitres were
caused, Dr, Trefry told them, by
lack of mineral food, so the Women's
Institute stepped in and purchased
barrels of dulse, a seaweed high in
mineral content, for daily distribu-
tion in the sehools. Few new cases
have ddeveloped since this scheme
was instituted, but since coming to
the Island the doctor has removed
over 40 goitres.
The children get off to a healthy
start under this plan. In the past,
many expectant mothers put off see-
ing the doctor until before confine-
ment to save the doctors fees. Now
they do not hesitate to visit the doc-
tor periodically during pregnancy be-
eause. they know that, regardless of
the number of visits, there will he no
bill. This prenatal care results in
better and healthier babies—and
healthier mothers. The danger of
mother Or cliil4 Or both dying is
drastically reduced.
Every baby born on. the Island
during the last seven years has had a
blood test to detect the presence
of social diseases. All children have
been inoculated against communica-
ble diseases, and now it is t he doc-
tor's proud boast that communicable
diseases are practically non-existent
there. Periodical checkups on the
ehildren's health is made by a nurse
from the island hospital.

GOD SAYE THE KING
is Th Stork Losing His Job?
ste
Canadian flying men have moved
a lot of strange cargoes both
at home and abroad in the last
several years,but when a Quebec
Airways Boeing took off from
Quebec City Airport the other day,
bound for Chicoutimi, it carried
one of the strangest loads of all —
26 babies, not one of them over
five months old!
The infants were being tram-
ferred from La Creche Saint -Vin-
cent -de -Paul in Quebec to Chicou-
timi — a long train ride, but only
an hour away by air. L'Abbe Ger-
main, priest in charge of the
orphanage, contacted officials of
Quebec Airways, a Canadian Paci-
fic Air Lines subsidiary, with the
result that the babies flew, and
all 50 one plane -load. Ordinarily,
the aircraft carries ten passen-
gers and a crew of three. But with
Sister Coeur 'unmask and Sister
Marie de la Reparation, who Were
also making their first airplane
flight, the total number of souls
aboard was thirty-one. Even so,
with each baby weighing an
average of ten pounds, it was a
far lighter load than customary.
Special three -place cribs, made -
of plywood, were built so that
each box would fit into one seat
in the airplane, Wrapped snugly
in baby blankets, and strapped in
both boxes and seats, even the
roughest of air could 'not have
tossed the tiny infants out,,And
as it turned out, there wasn't
even one bump on the entire trip.
"They didn't give a bit of
trouble",
said Stewardess Joan
Harland, a veteran hostess of the
airline. "After the take -off, they
just went to sleep, and that's all
there was to ill"
Bachelor Captain Art Leath, -
pilot of the lane, didn't have
much to say: They were squeal-
ing when I went forward before
take -off, and they were squealing
after 1 landed", he announced
grumpily.
Said First Officer Gordon Alex-
ander: "I didn't hear a thing. Had
the ear -phones on all the time."
Then, musingly, "Seems to me
static was a little worse than
usual, though:"
