Question: how many cons-
umers are there in Canada?
Answer: precisely the equiv-
alent of the Canadian popul-
ation at any given moment.
In other words, everyone
is a consumer form birth to
death. And that is the whole
point of Consumer Week in
Canada which is from March
1-6 this year.
Consumers' Association of
Canada (CAC) sponsors this
week to highlight the fact that
consumers are the economy
itself. Without them there
would be no economy.
CAC is the only organized'
body of consumers which re-
presents everyone in contacts
with governments and industry
Since it was formed in 1947 it
has brought about changes in
labelling of drugs, household
chemicals, children's clothing
fabrics and foods, as well as
being instrumental in the int-
roduction of consumer protect-
ive legislation.
This year the 65, 000 -mem-
ber organization is offering
leadership in rejection on non-
returnable beverage containers
which CAC consider a major
land pollutant in the nation.
This view is being emphasized
during Consumer Week in ad-
dition to the slogan, "Consum-
ers Count!"
In announcing the campaign,
CAC president Jean M. Jones
said that for the past few years
the organization's emphasis
during Consumer Week in
Canada has concentrated up-
on consumer education and co-
operation with industry and
governments. This year, she
continued, "We hope to dem-
•
onstrate the real power of org-
anized consumers across Can-
ada by exerting purchasing pres
sure against non -returnable
beverage containers.
The CAC president, in cal-
ling attention to the Associat-
ion's long-standing requests
for legislation to ban non-
returnable glass containers
solely, would be an unfair
competitive advantage to the
manufacturers of cans, result-
ing in the probable increase
of canned beveraged contain-
ers, without solving the basic
problem."
It was pointed out that CAC';
objection to non -returnable
beverage containers included
beer, wine and spirits contain-
ers and not only soft drinks.
The Association's basic rec-
ommendation is that legislat-
ion is required for beverages
to be sold in standard return-
able containers, with a signif-
icant deposit which will ensure
their return.

Who's Who
in Dentistry
In this age of specialization,
the public can get confused
over who does what, especially
in the health professions in
which Latin is still king of titles
Specialists in dentistry, must
spend two or three more years
in school to become qualified
for such designations, but even
some of them have trouble pro-
nouncing their own titles. So
here's a quick rundown on who's
who in dentistry:
ENDODONTIST: He treats
infections of the pulp or nerve
of a tooth. He can save many
teeth that at one time had to be
extracted. Endodontists have
nothing to do with the human
posterior.
ORAL SURGEON; Here's a
simple name for a dentist who
treats complicated extractions,
jaw fracturers, cysts, tumors
and other injuries of the mouth.
ORTHODONTIST: Sometimes
mistaken for a bird doctor, this
stalwart straightens teeth and is
responsible for preventing and
correcting more serious irregul-
arities in tooth position and
jaw relationship.
PEDODONTIST; This special-
ist has nothing to do with feet.
He treats all kinds of oral cond-
itions of children, but generally
refers major orthodontic treat-
ment or surgery to other spec-
ialists.
PERIODONTIST: He treats
diseases of the gums and other
supporting structures of teeth.
PROSTHODONTIST; He con-
centrates on partial and full
dentures and sees you through
adjustments and possible refit-
tings,
DENTAL HYGIENIST: Al-
though not a specialist in the
above sense and nearly always
a woman, she is trained to take
over the duties of cleaning
teeth --or prophylaxis as it is
typed on your bill. She also free.
the dentis from other duties so
he can concentrate on diagnosis
and therapy.
