Every eear there is one week desig n,ated as Natemal Health Week, proe mote d by the Health League or -Can- ada with, the purpose of awakening nfellatrepeeele le the value of good health, detailing problems faced litY health authorities and rousing the public to the realization that good national health depends upon their own individual health habits, personal benavious and their active support of legislation. In many fields of health the statis- tics show encouraging results. Deaths from infectious diseases has shown a remarkable decline in the past twenty yeare, but there are still deaths from diseases that are con- sidered to be preventable: Preventable Diseases Deaths in Canada, 1945 Typhoid Fever 101 Scarlet Fever 79 Whooping Cough 470 Diphtheria 271 Dr. Paul Brady, Medical Officer of Health, in -discussing health week. Points out that while Seaforth has been free from diphtheria for a num- ber of years, as has many other Cana- dian com.munities, the price of free- dom must be contitrued vigilance and a .population completely protected by inoculations. Tuberculosis killsixteen people a day in Canada; 60 per cent of these are in the most productive age group, 20-49 years. Ontario is pioneering in pasteurization of milk and in mass surveys and treatment centres. The effectiveness of the program may be judged from the fact that Ontario has the lowest T.D. death rate of the nine Provinces. A simple method for home pasteurization of milk is sug- getted. Flake milk in a suitable con- tainer on top of stove. Float a dairy thermometer in the milk and heat un- til the temperature is between 175 and 180 degrees F. Immediately re- move the container from the stove and place in cold water. Store in re- frigerator or cold place until used. This process has very slight affect on the flavor and renders the milk safe for human consumption. A discouraging aspect of public health has been the steady increase in venereal diseases. Although pres- ent-day drugs have greatly simplified treatment of the diseases, the most effective treatment of the problem is prevention ' by moral teaching in homes, schools and churches and by improving social conditions by social centres and clubs, especially among the 'teen-agers. Mental health is one of the biggest oblems now facing our communi- es. Most reliable estimates suggest any one time in Canada there are 0,000 persons disabled, from mental cknees, 100,000 permanently, and 0,000 temporarily, and an .addition - 600,000 partially disabled. There is re need of increased hospital and tive. treatment One of the biggest killers in Cale Ada .today—cancer—aausee, 89 deaths every day, over 14,000 deaths. annual- ly, Cancer diagnosed early and treat- ed vigorously May be cured in a large percentage of cases.

' r' Mr.' Keliand was k_ de 'Itstantly hen his'ear skidded off Highway No. 7 and 8, a mile and a half east of • Shakespeare and crashed into a tree at approximately 3.45 p.m. Friday. Mr. Kelland ee-a.s alone in his car at the time of the accident and there are no known eye -witnesses to the trag- edy. A block and tackle was used by passing truckers to hoist the car clear of Mr. Kelland's body where it was crushed beneath the right door, At the time of the accident he was returning to Seaforth from a Wetness trip to Kitchener, Wheel marks at the top of a rise about 50 yards west of the Old Home- stead indicated the car had skidded toward the south side of the road, ov- erturned on hitting the soft snow, and slid on its side into a large tree. The car's chassis was bent around the tree. Elvin Lilley, Woodstock, first at the accielent, was unable to pull the vic- tim from beneath the car. Shortly afterward, however, Robert Schaefer and Kenneth Weber, both of Bridge- port, came up in their truck equipped with a block and tackle. The wreck- age was lifted from the victim. Dr. T. B. Feick, of New Hamburg, coroner for Waterloo County, who was called to the scene„ said death had been instantaneous. The body was removed by ambulance to Strat- ford General Hospital and later brought to Seaforth. A son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kel- land, Science Hill, Mr. Kelland was born in Blanshard Township 27 years ago. He grew tip and received his education in that township.
