PUBLIC' OPINION AND BETTER. HEALTH STANDARDS We are ready to believe that Mr, Avemge Citizen wants good health for himself, his wife and his children, He_ ItYarits better health-in fact be wants the best possible health. But, is he going the right way about attaining what he wants? One of the most accurate answers to that lies in his annual expenditures, in municipal taxation, for public health services of his community, It is safe to say that the per capita ex- penditure of public health in the wealthiest city in Canada would not 'boy a first class seat at an opera. It also is safe to say that the average expenditure per capita in our small municipalities would scarcely pay for a real good cigar. In fact, this average per capita ex- penditure would range around the dollar-mark. On the other hand, the cost of preventable illness in Canada has been estimated by our authorities as at least $27 per capita per annum. In other words, for every dollar we spend on public health services we are throwing away $27 in preventable ill- ness, Is this high finance or plain stupidity? How can this be changed? Only by an advanced public opinion. A con- stant stream of challenging health facts and suggestions may build up an en- lightened public opinion to demand a better health basis and higher stand- ards of health legislation. This work of public health educa- tion is the basic function of the health League of Canada, which for 25 years I as been co-operating with our official departments of health to raise' our whole status in public health. * * * AIR MINDED HURON Huron County had three delegates, Reeve B. W. Tuckey of Exeter, Mayor D. D. Mooney of Goderich, and Wil- mot Haacke of Goderich Township, at the convention of the Canadian Flying WINGHAU ADVANCM-TIMUS on, as a county, has had progressive leadership in the matter of aviation, The Huron County Council purchased the ground which now is Sky Harbor and the development there during the war is well known to all. Many a high class pilot got his elementary schooling at Sky Harbor. In fact this school was noted throughout the. Do- minion by R,C.A.F. personnel as one of the best stations of its kind, Now that Sky Harbor will not be useful in the matter of training lads for combat flying it is a splendid thing to see the county council' again taking the lead by being well represented at the con- vention of flying clubs. Huron has a real asset in Sky Harbor and it will become more prominent as the years go by with such interest being taken in its regard. period: DOMINION STORE DUNLOP SHOE STORE THOS. FIELD & CO. A.

Young" Ronald fell just in front of the tractor. wheels, and the tractor passed over'his legs 'above the knees. His father was driving the tractor and lie immediately rushed the boy to the Hanover Mem- orial Hospital where, fortunately an examination showed that no bones were broken.

Ice Caused Gas in House Caked ice, just abdve where the pipe. enters the chimney at the home of Charles Hingst, caused gas to seep through their dwelling and Mrs. Hingst was almost asphyxiated from its effects shortly after the dinner hour.

Cattle exported from areas in Can- ada. Which are in the process 'of ac- creditation,' must have proved negative to the tuberculin test within thirty days prior to shipntent and the herd or herds in -which they originated must have proved negative to the test within the previous twelve months. In the case of all other cattle the certificate Must show a negative test for the animals exported, including the entire herd in which they originated, within the preceding thirty days.
