cording to Dr* Gordon Bates, general
director of the Health League of
Canada. Dr. Bates* editorial “Some
Sickness Lacks Drama? appears 'in
the current issue of Health magazine,
published by the Health League.
"There is something curious about
the psychology of the average person
when it comes to sickness," said Dr.
Bates. "Most illness is preventable. Of
the approximately 125,000 annual
deaths in Canada, a very large pro-?
portion could be postponed. The at
tack on the communicable diseases,
such as diphtheria or tuberculosis, has
shown that hospital beds can be kept
empty."
“One of the great problems in de
veloping popular support for the less-
publicized prevention projects may
lie in finding some means of drama
tizing the severe sickness and unnec
essary death which seem ordinary and
undramatic. Any unnecessary sick
ness in infant or adult, any postpon
able death should appeal to our sym
pathy and demand our support in all
efforts to prevent them. But as a
matter of fact they do not We must
find the answer to the question as to
how to create interest in the case of
ordinary people dying from ordinary
sicknesses when ordinary sickness
and ordinary health in the light of
science are unnecessary. How many
hospital beds now necessary could be
kept empty if all of the principles of
preventitive medicine were applied."

crushed gravel on Zetland hill, and
now the school-yard has also a huge

During the past 20 years, automobile accidents have taken the live* of
37,000 Canadians—the entire population of a'fair-sized city. A half-million more •
have been injured.
To meet the staggering cost of traffic accidents, the automobile insurance
business this year will pay out more than $80,000,000. Beyond this, insurance
companies will do everything possible to stem the rising toll of’ automobile
accidents — by offering the safe driving incentive of lower insurance premiums
for accident-free car owners and through safety work and public education aimed
at making drivers more aware of the perils of modern-day motoring.
