PLANES. CANNOT CATCH
FIRE'
With the R:A.F.'s New "Crash
Switch"
A new device for' aircraft, designed
to prevent or put out fire in any
emergency either during flight er on
the ground, has been adopted by the
Air Ministry and is being fitted -as
standard. to R.A.F. aircraft.
Switches .cause automatic inunda-
tion of the engine compartment with
methyl -bromide --the most effective
anti -fire chemical known—if the ah -
craft crashes, or turns on lits back
while landing, or if fire breaks out
while the machine is in the air.
The inventor is a retired British
Naval officer, Captain M. M. Sal-
mond, C.I.E., R.I.M., a cousin of Air
Marshal Sir John Salnhond, who
worked on the problem of automat-
ically preventing fire after a near
relative had been in a car crash
Before accepting the' idea, the Air
Ministry required that t h e ex-
tinguishers should be worked auto-
matically in less than ten seconds
after the minimum rate of loss of
velocity which would cause crash
conditions and serious damage to the
machine.
Tests carried out at Royal Aircraft
Establishments showed that the re-
quirements were met, and the Air
Ministry began to fit the equipment
experimentaly to R.A.F machines. It.
will be a stardard part of all R.A.P.
aircraft in future. •

PROVINCIAL REGULATIONS RE
IOSPITAL FEES
Because of some naisunacrstanding
between patients and hospitals in re-
gard to fees charged, an explanation
of the more recent provincial regula-
tions has been considered advisable
by the hospital boards of the county.
Apart from these regulations the
four hdspitals in the county have
agreed to charge the same fees for
rooms, operating room and maternity
care.
Until about two years ago anyone
requiring hospital care could be ad-
mitted to the public ward at a rate
of $1.75 a day with a few extras
for special drugs and laboratory
charges. Then the Department of
Health of Ontario required that all
such persons fill out a form giving
details to their income and posses-
sions to show that their income was
so small that they could not afford
to play the recognized, maintenance,.
fee of $2.35 a day. For such persons
of very low income the provincial
government paid the hospital 60c per
day to make up the difference be-
tween $1.75 paid by the patient and
$2,35 needed for their care.
On June the first of this year this
regulation was again changed and all
persons able to pay anything at all,
must. pay $2.35 per day for the first
five days in hospital andif they are
unable to continue at this rate, the
other fee of $1.75' per day will be
charged.
• It is left to the hospital author-
ities, to determine a person's ability
to pay, Seaforth, Mr. Charles Aberhart this

the usual operating fee for those Mr. Aberhart is one of the best
paying only $1.75 per day.
These regulations apply to indig-
ents also they are entirely paid for
by the municipality and county and.
province.,
A letter from O. J. Telfer, Inspec-
tor of. Hospitals, to all Hospital' Sup-
erintendents and Board Secretarys
reads:
"I have been directed to advise that
commencing June 1st, and until fur-
ther notice no government grant will
be allowed for the first five 'days'
care of •self pay ward patients.'
Will you please be sure to instruct
your staff to this effect in order to
avoid loss to the hospital, and in sub-,
mittings returns do not extend in
the Grant Cohsnm the first five days
for the treatment of such patients.
I am further directed to advise that
all hospitals are expected to continue
their .efforts to control -the number
of grant days' in order to avoid the
possible necessity of reducing the
amount of per diem grant,"
