South Huron Hospital Auxiliary Decides
To Stop Selling Cigarettes to Patients
Whether by accident or by
design, the Women's Auxiliary
to South Huron Hospital agreed
to bannish cigarettes from the
hospital cart at the same meet-
ing their special speaker, Dr,
G. P, A , Evans, Medical Officer
for health for Huron, issued a
powerful case against the nox-
ious weed tobacco.
In her report concerning the
Auxiliary 'tuck cart" which is
circulated among the patients
on a regular basis, Mrs. Hilda
Smith asked for the feelings of
the group regarding the sale of
cigarettes in the hospital, She
wondered if the Sil Auxiliary
wanted to follow the example
of rhe Victoria Hospital in
London where the sale of cig-
arettes in the hospital was
banned.
Within seconds, a show of
hands gave support to her sugg-
estion to withdraw the cigarettes
from among the items for sale
to patients.
Mrs, Smith later reported a
marked decrease in the amount
of cigarettes purchased from
the cart during the last year.
In his address to the ladies in
conjunction with Hospital Day,
Dr. Evans deplored the cigar-
ette habit. He said there are
5, 000 deaths annualy in Can-
ada of lung cancer with ciga-
rettes the leading contributing
factor to the disease.
Ile also disclosed that sputum
cytology clinics are to be set
up throughout the county soon
where smokers will be tested
for the early signs of lung
cancer.
"This is a must for people who
cannot or will not give up
smoking", remarked Dr. Evans.
"By the time lung cancer is
detected through X-ray, it is
too late in most cases.'
He outlined the child health
segment of the program includ-
ing immunization, preventative
dentistry, testing for hearing
and vision defects, certain
blood tests and a comparatively
new field, mental health.
The school program, Dr.
Evans noted, was growing each
year. This will in all probabil-
ity include preventative dent-
istry beginning this fall. In
the high schools, skilled coun-
sellors assist with the psyscholi-
gical and sexual awareness pro-
blems of youth.
Adult clinics to screen for
tuberculosis through chest Xrays
cervical cancer by Pap smears,
diabetes and kidney ailments
through urine tests and blood
pressure abnormalities are also
offered.
Dr. Evans said water and air
pollution as well as the "gross
misuse of herbicides and pest-
icides" are becoming a prime
concern of public health
authorities.
He noted the polluted condit-
ion of Lake Erie where shipping
boats are warned nor to use
water within five miles of
shore. Not even boiling or
chlorination will make that
water safe, Dt. Evans said, and
it has been estimated it will
take about 20 billions dollars
to clean up the lake to the
condition it was about 1939.
The MOH also advocated home
nursing parograins whereby nurs-
ing staff would be available
to patients at home, thereby
eliminating the need for hosp-
ital care in some instances.
During the business portion of
the meeting, it was learned that
profits at the spring rummage
sale amounted to over $1200.
New ideas were invited for the
fall rummage sale to be held
October 17 and 18.
More money is expected for
the cancer society in this part
of rhe county', but already
$3, 658.22 has been collected in
addition to $1, 010. 40 received

Big Shipment Of
Baler Twine Comes
To Toronto for UCO
The largest shipment of baler
twine ever to be unloaded at
the Port of Toronto was brought
direct from Brazil by United
Co-operatives of Ontario last
week. The shipment - 100, 000
bales, weighing 4 million
pounds --was purchased from the
twine mills of Brazil. It is
made of top strength natural
fibre called super-sisalana.
It isoing directly from pier
35 in Toronto harbour to retail
co-operative outlets across
Ontario for use in haying and
harvesting this summer.
Twine was the first major pro-
duct to be handled by the United
Co-operatives of Ontario in
1914 when the organization was
formed as the United Farmers
Co-operative Company. It
has always been a key commod-
ity in UCO's farm supplies bus-
iness, which includes feed and
fertilizer manufacturing, pet-
roleum and durable consumer
good distribution.
