A re eellintes, Wettneedliee, Maly al, 400 TRAGIC BUSINESS OF HIGHWAY ACCIDENT working team cannot fail to benefit the community. So nmeh for the role of the in- dividual doctor in treating traffic casualties. There are several other important area , in which the med- ical profession is playing a key role. This is done through the Canadian Medical Association and its provin- cial divisions. Each provinicial med- ical association has a committee stu- dying highway safety. Composed of 10 provincial re- presentatives and an equal number of doctors in selected specialties, the Canadian Medical Association Com- mittee on the Medical Aspects of Traffic Accidents can speak from a broad geographic and scientific back- ground. At a recent two-day meet- ing of this committee recommend- ations were made concerning stan- dards of physical and mental fitness for drivers, visual standards, use of sear belts, ambulance services, hospital equipment and the effects of alcohol on driving. The medical committees in all provinces are now engaged in pre- paring standards of medical fitness for drivers which it is hoped will be acceptable to all provincial author- ities. The medical profession also pro- vides competent advice to those responsible for issuing driver li- cences, law enforcement, highway safety and public education. One more area remains — per-. haps the most important of all —in which organized medicine can play a vital role. This is the field of -re- search, primarily into the cause or causes of accidents. Obviously the provincial factors are 'exploding gasoline and abnormal human be- havior, with alcohol involved in many cases. Conclusions cannot be reached or remedial measures deter- mined without accurate knowledge. There is no lack of raw material. for study (182,000 traffic accidents in Canada in 1959) but trained research personnel and funds are lacking. Keenly aware of the need for all kinds of research, the Ca.nadia.n Ned e ical Association was:one of the spon- sors in 1955 of the Canadian Traffic Accident Medical Research Founda- tion. The CMA also co-operates ac- tively with the Canadian Highway Safety Council. The automobile was never in- tended to be the lethal weapon it is .today. Progress in fighting this national problem must depend on aroused public opinion and Support. The strong plea in Parliament by a Toronto physician, Dr. J. W. Kttch- erepa, for a Royal commission on traffic accidents should receive the • attention it deserves both ire and out of the House of Commons. The Canadian doctor is anxious to do his full duty in all the medical aspects of traffic accidents. HAVING OUR CAKE According to an editorial in "The Courier" of Canora, Saskatchewan, the liquidation of all Federal corpor- ate activities in the United States would yield a saving of about $44 billion a year. Since individual income tax pro- duced a revenue of about $37 billion in 1959, it is calculated that it would be possible for the Government to stop levying taxes on personal in- comes, estate and gifts, and still have a saving of more than $7 billion a year. Moreover the enterprises thus sold would yield in private operation an additional 15 percent corporate and excise taxes. There would be a total saving of over $15 million a year, It is not surprising, therefore, that there is growing interest in the proposed 23rd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would force the Federal Government to sell its commercial enterprises and stop it from taxing personal incomes and estates. Such a measure has already won The Winghaln Advance:ritlies the approval of the law-making bodies of the States of Nevada, Wy- oming ,and Texas. Michigan, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana are to decide this year. Concluding its comment on these developments "The Cour- ier" Canora says, — "of course we can't have our cake and eat it! But, perhaps, we could, at least, have our cake' '1110St-1. larlanittleil happy motoring and no detour:it; That was an appropriate send af I when our frienda went on vacation I not many years ago. With most of our Main highWaNS built we. have fewer detours today - unless we travel byways instead of highway::. How rough and dusty those detours could be! Yet they always had an end and then the. main road .agitia. Unhappily detours remain as tol matters of daily living. Those, tan be annoying and even costly. A busin ess failure or a heart attack may seem to smash our plans to bits, A youth or maiden must leave college a nd a career of great promise to help at home. We are not always to blame for life's detours, Let us give thanks foe mercies already received and look with faith that the future will. open up something of promise.

If a fellow was running barefoot through a field of violets in pursuit of a beautiful young creature, there'd be certain to be a broken beetl e emeng the flowers, and the nymph would turn out to have buck teeth and a goitre when you caught her. That's the 'way I've been frus- trated by the business of eating out, in the city. There have been many occasions in the past decade, when I have thought it must be heaven to eat out, at a restaurant, every day, all alone, Our house at meal- time has always required nerves of steel and a eastiron stomach. Meals around home were always a mad melange of gags, giggling, arguments, questions with no an- ew,ers„ fights over dessert, and an endless recita tive of domestic, social and personal; problems, contributed by the cook. --x—x— Sometimes I used to clench my teeth; close my eyes, and retreat from the babel into one of any favorite dreams, There I'd be, in it romantic restaurant, just sitting down to a dazzling spread of gleam- ing silver and white napery. A white-gloved waiter would be bend- ing over me solicitously, In the dimly lit interior, gypsy music stirred the senses. Several devas- tating women, obviously rich, lonely and bored, would be eyeing .Me With interest fleet neighboring tables, I ,would sip my aperitif, glance with •casual insolence about the room, and greet the head waiter familiarly, as he scuttled over to discuss the wine list with me. He Would slip me a note from the Baroness Gorki, seated across the room, to whom I had nodded coldly when I entered. I would read it, give a short, hard laugh, and turn my entire attention to the gently roasted duck, festooned in truffles, and specially prepared by the chef. let's lie humble . but not bitter.

BLITHVALE, HUME TOWN Not very many, miles from here, On the •banks of the Maitland stream, Stands the village where I was born The place of my boyhood dream. Many of the older folk are dead, They were pioneers, all. Though gone, their memory still lives, But a few I here recall, Jim Timmins ran a cheap cash store, 13111 Sanderson, he made shoes. Bill Messer had a general store, And then there were the Pughs, Duff and Stewart owned the saw mill, That stood down by the stream, • Bob Mel-lardy stoked the fires Walt Paterson drove the team, Charles Herbert was a good mill- 'w right, Ile lived up on the bill. Bill Bruce was just a cobbler, - And Leeches owned the mill. though blind, That was a detour turned to a great puteoev honour Louis Braille! And what at detour was Calvary! Our Lord Jesus must have faced. dismay as the result of his failure to win the religious /cutlers of his day. But Calvary was worked into a marvelous redemptive plan so that it is even as lie said, "I if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me." Paul's detour of imprisonment and the prespeet of death for Christ. was faced with wonderful equani- mity. "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances may be . . . I am ready for anything through the stren g th of One who Here within me." So let us learn to work our de- tours into life's plans in Buell a way as to grasp ever more firmly God's purpose for our living.

Globe and Mail Let us imagine that tomorrow's newspapers describe an enormous. disaster, which has befallen Kitchener or some other city with a population of around 88000, We are told that the economic damage amounted to -$400,000,000 and that every man, woman and child had been injured, many completely disabled for life. Worse still, 3,000 persons have been killed, half of them in the prime of life, from 15 to 40 years old. These figures actually coincide with those in the 1959 report of traffic accidents published by the Canadian Highway Safety Coun- cil. To dramatize the magnitude of these losses, the period of 12 months has been condensed into One night and the area from 10 provinces to one city. These acci- dents, as we know to our sorrow, happen anywhere and anytime, Canadians have been absorbing this deadly poison in minute doses for so many years that they have de- veloped a high degree of immunity, with resulting apathy and fatalism toward the frightful carnage. If all these traffic accidents had happened with one fell swoop in a large city, we know from past ex- perience how the entire country would react, We remember the Halifax explosion, the Noronic, fire and, in 1950 the Winnipeg flood. Doctors, nurses, ambulances, med- ical supplies and food are rushed to the scene and millions of dollars are contributed, to relief funds. MillionS more would be spent to determine the cause and to prevent a recur- rence. Compared with the $400,000,- 000 damage front traffic accidents, the cause of damages and new dikes following the Winnipeg flood amounted to only $24,000,000 and the .Manitoba Relief Fund exceeded $7,500,000. Not a single life was lost in the flood. . From the beginning of this whole tragic business of highway accidents, the medical profession has been not Only interested but -vie ally, cone erned, Here the doctOr has a dual respon- sibility. As an individual physician he must treat traffic victims. From his training and firsthand experience he must also play his full part in helping to prevent these accidents or' at least to reduce the damages. In the treatment of traffic ac- cident casualties the Canadian doctor is ready to answer emergency calls at all hours and in all kinds of, weather. To do his best work, how- ever,. he needs the help and team- ivoiie of other groups. These are the police and telephone. companies for communication; ambulance oper- ators for first-aid and transportation and adequately equipped and staffed hospital emergency departments. Where these services are not satis- factory the doctor is handicapped in his work of resuscitation and re- habilitation. Public interest, to say nothing of self-preservation, de- mands serious attention to medical recommendations to improve emer- gency services in every locality. As an example of what a com- munity can do, a pilot study of come munications, first-aid, transportation and emergency treatment is being conducted in Ontario around Corn- wall.. Beginning last December, un- der the auspices of the Ontario Med- ical Association ,a group headed by a general practitioner and embrac- ing police, telephone company staff, ambulance operators, hospitals and doctors is teaming to handle traffic casualties. Complete records of each accident, including the exact time (in minutes) are being prepared for a 12-month period. With three months' experience it is clear that the results will be of real value, Similar studies might well be car- ried out in other localities from coast to coast, and the mere bringing to- gether of responsible groups as a Published at 'Gillingham, Ontario Wenger Brothere, Publisbers W.

That's why I was looking forward „ to eating out when I went off to summer school. I could picture it all: a light breakfast, with perhaps just orange juice, erisp bacon, roll and honey and coffee; a speller' lunch consisting of a mere omelette, a salad, and perhaps a Danish pastry; but in the evening, the works. I planned to nose out all. those charming little foreign restaurants my friends in the city are always telling me they almost went to one night, and do them up brown. was looking forward to cold vichisoisse on a hot evening, eon- tented with quiet appreciation and orusty bread in some ea/idle-lit French place.
