• *Pe gears ago .May 14, the late
t'izae Minister Mackenzie King
xeee 'froiF his seat in the Rouse
tqf Comwgns and announced plans
for thet4nietest revolution in Cana -
titan illtltory
It was the five-year ''National
Iea1th plan., one of the last major
4r034etS of Mr King's long parlia-
gnentary career, a program which
he- regarded as one of •the founda-
tion stones of the national social
Security structure,
Health Minister Paul Martin, who
bas guided the program since its
inception in 1948, gave Parliament
recently a review of its achieve-
ments and a preview of what's
ahead for the future.
Here are a few examples of the
achievements in health during the
past five years:
Health Achievements
1, In spite of an increase in pop-
ulation, the number of infant
deaths lies' declined from 16,333 in
1947 to 14,584 in 1951—a total sav-
ing of 10;000 young lives.
2. Hospital accommodation has
been increased by 46,000 beds in
144 communities -6,000 more beds
,than the five-year objective and an
over-all increase of 35 per cent in
hospital facilities.
3. The tuberculosis death rate
has been cut by one -half --down to
less than 20 persons per 100,000
population—and 25,000 TB patient's
have been provided with free
streptomycin treatment.
4. In the mental health sem,
there are now 77 clinics available
to the public compared• with only
17 in 1948.
5. Cancer diagnostic services
have been provided to more than
100,000 Canadians, and modern
radiological equipment has been
supplied to hospitals and public
clinics.
6. More than 4;600 health work-
ers have been added to hospital
staffs and municipal health depart-
ments, and' several thousand have
received grants to pay for advanc-
ed training.
These are just a few samples of
the program's accomplishments.
The real achievements have been
the salvaged 'human lives and the
repaired minds and 'bodies.
Program to Continue
Health Minister Martin is confi-
dent there are more and better
achievements ahead. Most of the
program will continue for another
five years.
Allocations for hospital construc-
tion, for example, will probably ex-
ceed those of the past five years.
In the next 12 months alone, ap-
proximately $20,000,000 will be
available to provinces and munici-
palities in this field.
to addition to the 10 categories
of grants made available under the
!first program, the government pro -
Poses to move ahead on three new
health fronts. To the $100,000.000
granted since 1948 will, be added a
new $42,000,000 program of special
assistance aimed at better care for
mothers and children, improved re-
habilitation arrangements for the
disabled, and better technical facili-

plagued the poltryman have been
brought under control, Such kill-
ers as coccidiosis, 'fowl pox, new -
castle, laryngotracheitis, and pul-
lorum can now be successfully
treated,
Research has really paid -off for
the poultryman, and will continue
to do so. Continued improvement
in feed efficiency for both meat and
egg production can be expected,
and there is' no indication that the
limit has been reached in egg pro-
duction, hatchability, rate of growth
or disease control.
Watch For New Weeds
There are few weeds which Can-
not be era.dieated if attacked be-
fore they become firmly establish-
ed, The most vulnerable period is
when there are just a few indi-
viduals.
S -tow do new weeds arrive? Prob-
ably the majority still come in with
seed and feed as they did in the
days of the pioneer and homestead-
er. Many newer garden and forage
plants are now being tested and us-
ed, and seeds of these are very
likely to contain weed seeds from
'faraway places. Nursery stock with
soil on the roots is another very
common source of new weed intro-
duction, Long distance trucking,
tourists from distant points are all
potential carriers of plant seeds
and parts. Now that highway traf-
fic is so speedy 'and such long dis-
tances covered, the menace of weed
introduction from remoter places is
far greater than in the days of the
ort carts and horse-drawn vehicles.
Where can we expect to find new
species? Probably the most likely
spots are in gardens and forage
plant areas, but roadsides, railway
yards and rights-of-way, parking
and camping grounds are common
locations for strange and unknown
Plants.
,What should be done about them
if found? The wisest course to take
obs finding a Strange' plant is to
gather it and send it to the near -
eat institution where botanists or
liipnt' tavonomists can identify it.
/tit is not a weed or a potential

ties for assisting doctors in diag-
nostic work.
As in the part, the new grants
will be made largely on a basis of
financial co-operation with provin-
cial and/or muniteipal governments.
Provincial Governments, a n d
through them local health districts,
will 'be free to advance projects de-
signed to meet their particular
needs.
For example, a province may
suggest projects for more "Well -
Baby” clinics, for free follow-up
home nursing services or for im-
proved
mproved child -science .researcrh under
the first series of new grants for
maternal health and child care.
Similarly, suitable service for hand-
icapped persons may be developed
under the second series of grants;
and under the third (and largest)
series, a province may propose new
x-ray and diagnostic equipment for
hospitals and public clinics.
Attracts U.S. Praise
The program has attracted ad-
miration and praise from outside
Canada. A few months ago, Dr. J.
H. Means, former professor of medi-
cine
edhcine at Harvard University, wrote
in the Atlantic Monthly that Can-
ada was far ahead of the United
States in its emphasis on the gov-
ernment's role in national health
and welfare.
Martin believes the National
Health Plan will stand out in Cana-
dian history as one of the finest
monuments to the humanity of Par-
liament and of its founders.
"As Iong as peace safeguards our
progress," he says, "measures such
as these are symbols of that con-
tinuing and wholehearted collabora-
tion between Canada's public and
private health workers that is
bringing us ever nearer our com-
mon objective, the highest possible
standard of health for all Cana-
dians."
Cost of Raising Pigs
To Time of Weaning
Experiments at the Kapuskasing
Experimental Station, Ont., for the
purpose of establishing the cost of
raising pigs to weaning age, show
the average cost over a 28 -year per-
iod to be $4.37 per pig for an aver-
age of 8.45 pigs per litter.
The cost to weaning is variable
and is affected by five main fac-
tors, says Maurice Tessier, Agron-
omist at this Station. The number
of litters a sow produces each year
and the number of pigs born in
each litter are the two first factors
to be considered. Since the initial
cost of a pig is based on the cost
of keeping the brood sow, divided
by the number a sow produces each
year the less will be the initial
cost of each. Large litters at wean-
ing time can be secured only by a
combination of efficient breeding
and selection of breeding stock, the
feeding of excellent rations to
.brood sows and young stock, and
the proper housing and care of the
sows, including the use of guard
rails or pig brooders to protect the
young pigs.
The next factor to influence the
H.M.C.S. Haida, famous fighting destroyer of the Second World War, is adding another chapter
to her record as she carries out her first tour of operations in the Korean theatre. Among her ex-
ploits has been the destruction.of a train behind the enemy lines in North Korea. This recent photo
of the Haida was taken from another Canadian destroyer, the Crusader, as the former arrived in a
patrol area off the west coast of Korea,
cost of young pigs is the amount of
milk produced by the sow. This
cannot be overstressed because the
gains made by suckling pigs de-
pend largely on whether their dams
are good milk producers.—as at no
time do pigs make as economical
gains as when suckling their dams.
The fourth factor which is equal-
ly important is the number of pigs
that reach weaning aWhen the
number of 'animals wn'hd per lit-
ter is small, the pigs will Start in-
to the fattening period with a coat
handicap that cannot be overcome
by the most efficient feeding and
care.
Finally, the last factor is the cost
of feed. The selection of breeding
stock that will convert feed in the
most economical way is the obvious
way to lessen feed costs. '
It should be the plan of all hog
producers to keep only the sows
that produce good litters of pigs
and supply plenty of milk to feed
them. This combined with good
management and efficient breeding
will reduce considerably the cost
of raising pigs to weaning age.
Something To. Brag About But—
Canada's' death rate in 1952 was
the lowest in history. Canada's
health record is good and getting
better. Unfortunately, deaths from
accidents are not in the good -news
class. They are increasing. The
only way that this death toll can
be lessened, is for every individual
Canadian to conduct his own per-
sonal safety campaign. The man
who drives a car while knowing
that his driving ability is impair-
ed by faulty eyesight, hearing or
ill health, stands a chance of in-
creasing these accident figures.

Keeping the Lawn Green
The maintenance of the lawn
consists of fertilizing, watering and
mowing, in order to keep the turf
verdant and in such condition that
few, if any, weeds will have an op-
portunity to flourish. Here are
some year-round hints prepared by
N. May, Summerland Experimental
Station, B.C.
Fertilizing.—This is perhaps one
of the most important items of
maintenance, Few lawns are so
well prepared that they do not re-
quire additio al food material dur-
ing the second or third year. Money
expended in the proper preparation
and fertilization of a good depth
of topsoil will do away with the
subsequent annual expense neces-
sary to keep a poorly prepared
lawn in the best condition.
All mulching or top dressing
should be applied to lawns in the
fall. This mulch should be made
up of completely decomposed com-
post and fine granulated, peat moss,
spread over the turf to a depth el
one-quarter inch and worked into
the grass with the back of a gar-
den rake. Another. excellent mulch
that will keep out weed seeds is
kiln dried sheep manure, which
should be applied in the' early
spring at the rate of 50 pounds per
1,000 square feet.
Chemical fertilizers are beat ap-
plied in the spring as a .top dress-
ing. A balanced mixture of 6-10-10
will produce good results, if applied'
at the rate of 12 pounds per 1,000
square feet. Ammonium nitrate ap-
plied at the rate of eight pounds
per 1,000 square feet will give
quicker results, noticeable in ap-
proximately five days.
Watering.—A properly prepared
lawn will not require much water-
ing unless the season is unusually
dry, or nearby trees are robbing
the grass roots of moisture. In any
event, a few thorough waterings
are much more 'valuable than many
light sprinklings. The effect of a
good watering is not only more
lasting in itself, but it encourages
deep rooting of the grass which in
turn tends to lessen the need for
frequent watering and also opens
up new stores of plant food to the
grass roots. A sprinkler that gives
an even distribution of water
should be used.
The time of day at „which the
lawn is watered is not nearly so
important as how thoroughly the
watering is done; but watering in
the middle of a hot sunny day is
made less effective through evap-
oration. Do not rush to sprinkle a
lawn at the first approach of warm
weather, as this will discourage the
tendency of the grass roots to go

deeper in search of ground mois-
ture. When the lawn shows signs'
of being in need of water, give it
a 'thorough soaking.
Mowing.—For the average lawn,
set the mower to cut at 1% inches
high. It is much better to cut fre-
quently at this height than to al-
low the grass to get too near the
flowering and seeding stage. The
mower should be sharp and proper-
ly adjusted' so as to make a clean
cut, without bruising the grass.
The grass should be cut in a dif-
ferent direction eaoh time.
Mowing. should not be too fre-
quent in very hot weather and it
should cease before the grass stops
growing in the fall. Clippings
should not 'be removed from the
Iawn during very hot weather, as
they act as a Mulch to the grass
roots.
Don't Eat "Rare" Pork
Many people prefer their beef
underdone but this taste should
never be extended to pork. Thor-
ough cooking is necessary to pork
since, if the meat should be infect-
ed, it is possible for 'humans to
contract trichinosis. This is a ser-
ious disease often contracted by hu-
mans who eat raw or underdone
pork. Butchers often taste raw
sausage meat to ensure that it is
sufficiently seasoned, and this has
