THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA e not- •m •3“ Klunch will be Mr*. J. 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."
