"Health Week" February 3 to 0.
The, observance is sponsored by the
League in co-operation with federal
and provincial departments of health
and provincial departments of Otto-
tion.
The pamphlet emphasized that ,every
effort should be made to control
ness which is largely at the root of the
poverty and inefficiency which make
the organization of charities and charit-
able machinery necessary,
Canadians are called on to take a
broad view of public health problems,
it being pointed nut that such pro-
blems are national, rather than local
in character, In this connection the
League takes. the opportunity of em-
phasizing the' importance of legislation
by all provinces calling for compulsory
pasteurization of milk.
Doubtless service clubs and other
such public-spirited organizations will
stress this objective in their health pro-
grams. .

Capt, Adams reporting for the Pro-
perty Committee, said that while they
made regular inspections they also re-
lied to great extent on the good judg-
ment of Mrs. Morrey. the superintend-
ent, in the matter of acquainting them
with the need of necessary improve-
ments and repairs, The major items
undertaken this year were the install-
ing of the new laundry which is prov-
ing very satisfactory, and also the
building of the new 'entrance that acids
that needled touch and very necessary.
Mr. H. C. MacLean presented the
report of the management committee
and told Of the difficulties experienced
during the period of construction and
the inability to secure the help they
desired, at the present time there is a
staff of 16, and under the splendid lead-
ership of the superintendent they have
done a magnificient job. He also ex-
pressed his appreciation to the Ladies'
Auxiliary for the important work they
are doing, for without their assistance
it would be much more' difficult to
carry on.

End Of Price Ceilings
On Some Goods Coming
Ottawa,-A statement of Govern-
ment policy on its stabilization pro-
gram, possibly announcing the lifting
of pribe ceilings on some goods, will
"likely be made about the end of the
month", Finance Minister Ilsley an-
nounced.
Mr. llsley said the statement would
cover future procedure with regard to
the price ceiling arfiendments, and add-
ed;
"As has been stated on a number
of occasions, some price ceilings may
be suspended when a review of the
supply situation in certain fields, now
under way .by the Prices Board, is
completed."
The Minister 'emphasized that the
goods and services now under' consid-
eration will be selected "primarily for
supply reasons and will not exclude
consumer goods covered in the cost-of-
living index."

WINGIMM HOSPITAL
SHOWS PROGRESS
In the coming summer we may
expect hundreds of visitors from
the States. For many of them a
good time means lots of leisure for
hikes -visits to historic sites,
scenic beauty spots. Let's give
them a really friendly welcome
and help to make their stay as
memorable as it can be!
WHAT CAN I DO?
The answer is plenty! Here are some
of the things anyone can do. The
suggestions come from a well-known
Ontario hotelman:
I. Know the places of interest and
beauty spots in your district and
tell people about them.
Widespread interest is being shown
in the possibilities of chemical control
of the present spruce budworm. in-
festation of Quebec and Ontario for-
ests, and demands have been made by
those interested for further informa-
tion on the DDT experiments carried
out last year. The, Bi-monthly Pro-
gress Report 'of the Forest Insect In-
vestigations, issued by the Division of
Entomology, Dominion Department of
Agricnulture, points out that several
technical reports have beep prepared
during the past few months but all of
them arc more or less preliminary in
character. However, says' the Report,
it is hoped that soivething definite may
be ready belforge long. The. last word
on some of the experiments will not
and cannot be said until it is known
what the ultimate fate will be of the'
stands that have been treated. Mean-
while, it is intended to devote the en-
tire issue of the Bi-monthly Progress
Report for January-February, -1946, to
discussions on DDT and its uses in
forest insect control,
200-Bed Addition To
Hospital Proposed
London,-First steps toward erect-
ing a new $1,000,000 200-bed wing at
Victoria Hospital, were taken by the
Hospital Trust after hearing several
doctors describe the current bed
shortage there as an "emergency."
The Trust passed a motion asking
City Council to authorize engaging a
local consulting architect to prepare
plans.
The voice of Canadian farm women
made itself heard at Thursday's session
of the Canadian Federation of Agric-
ulture annual convention at London,
when one of the three women delegates
urged . provincial federations to take
the lead in publiciiing national health
insurance.
Mrs. O. G. Anderson, Wingham,
president of the Women's Division of
the Federation declared in a presenta-
to the general session that the Feder-
ation of Agriculture is the "logical me-
dium" through which the farmer can
obtain information 'on health insurance,
and express his views.
The women's presentation was pre-
pared at a caucus of the three official
delegates-Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. F. M
Rutherford of Campbellford, represent-
ing the federated board of women's
Institutes, and Mrs. J. A. Pritchard,
of Manotick, a director of the Ontario
federation-and other women in at-
tendance at the sessions.
"There seems to be some uncertainty
whether rural health needs will receive
enough consideration under the latest
insurance plan" declared Mrs. Ander-
son.
"Farm women are effected as much
as men by the conditions and problems
under discussion at this convention",
asserted Mrs. Anderson in submitting
the women's presentation and voicing
their support of the parent body.
In caucus, the women recommended
that women directors from each prov-
ince attend the sessions of the Canad-
ian federation each year. This has not
been' done, in the past, according to
Mrs. Anderson.
