IIASY ROUTINE FOR FIRM I-IIN

One of the most reliable in- stincts n woman can follow when she sees the first signs of a double chin in hcr mirror ls to hold up her head.

lf she'll hold hcr head up-erecf. that is. and in perfect alignment with her body—ahe can elude the grasp of age on her throat.

The next strategic step which she will need to take, however, la to slap on her night cream with re- newed vlgour. The time has really come to spank under n chin and around her neck-briskly with the back of the hand-when the youth- ful line shows signs of slipping. This spanking routine should be the wind-up of a nightly creamlng rltuol devoted to the face and neck.

State Medicine Suffers Abuse; Reforms Urged

sent. The last meeting on the 5m" 9357mm‘ 1°‘ "ledical 59"‘ doctor. At. present several meth-

ices will be amended if the rccarn- meildations of n Government com- mittee nre put. into effect. The committee found that flaws and abuses have become evident in the operation of the scheme and that changes are necessary,

The medical scheme, part of the Govcrnmenrs sOciul security struc- ture, has attracted attention abroad and medical authorities frcm many countries have come here to study it's operation. Many of the visit.- ing experts have criticized some flspBCts of the scheme, and the committee's recommendations nim to meet some of the criticisms. The basis of the scheme is that from n social security tax levied on all salary and incure. the gov- ernment pays doctors‘ bills, the cost of all medicines prescribed by doctors, and the cost of hospital and maternity treatment.

Critics of the scheme say the over-ell brand-arr! of medical ser- vices has fnilen because it. has paid doctors better to rush as many patients through as possible at a uniform fee; that long waits are n in consulting rooms and it is difficult to get doctor: to visit patients at home; that doctors have tended to go straight into well-paid general practice instead M’ seeking higher qualifications and experience; has been a huge and unnecessary increase in the consumption of “free" drugs and medicines.

The investigating committee was ' ‘of-up- ‘ ‘ ..fom the medical profession and the health department with an independent chairman.

Committee Reports

The committee recommended that in the future part of the cast of medicines be born by the pa- tient, that the medical PY"IP';SiOII itself be made responsible for the ethical behaviour of-iil members, and that, a number of changes be made in the amounts and meth- ods of payment for medlcn! scr- vices.

The effect on the important apple crop was principally seen in the smaller sizes of the fruit. the McIntosh variety being particularly affected. yields of peaches and apricots were heavy and other tree fruits about average. The quality of most fruits was disappointing, but this did not apparently affect market de- mand to any extent. Root and vegetable crops were generally satisfactory, but grains and hay suffered form inclement weather conditions. Floods also caused some damage in certain districts in June.

PRAIRIE PROVINCES

Spring moisture conditions were generally substantially above nor- mal, except in parts of Manitoba. when snow fell over most of the Prairies in April and melted rapid- ly. In most areas the land was too wet for an early start and flood conditions existed in many river valleys and adjacent territory. A further oool. wet spell delayed the normal Minus enceme it of seeding altogether some two to four weeks. Very favourable weather sub- scquently prevailed and seeding was virtually completed early in June. The setback in seeding, how- ever, was largely counteracted later by quick germination and rapid early growth. Towards the end of June, although subsoil moisture was good, lack of heavy, general rains caused wide variation in crop prospects across the Prairies. Rains falling early in July, helped irri- prove conditions over most of Manitoba, where wheat stands were generally good and, in south- rn districts. commencing to head. 1n thc next few weekaiight rains

somewhat by wet. weather, seeding and planting were completed early in June. All crops made good pro- gress under favourable conditions, but inadequate rainfall after mid- season and extremely high tem- peratures adversely affected the sizing of late fruits and the growth of some field crops. A considerably increased acreage of fall wheat generally came, through the win- ter in excellent condition and yielded well above average.

Estimated production at 28,331,- 000 bushels compares with 17,736,- 000 bushels in 1947 and a ten-year average of 19,0w.000 bushels. A better than average crop of fair to good quality hay and clover was stored. with production estimated at 5.609.000 tons, as against 8,1154.- 000 tons last year and a ten-year average of 0,683,000 tons. Yields of spring grains were also well above normal; the acreages sown to oats and mixed grains were substantial- ly higher than last. year. Product- ion of oats is estimated at 783731.000 bushels, as compared with 41,490,- 000 bushels "in 1947, barley 7,970.- 000 bushels. as against 6,133,000 bushels and mixed grains 47,852,000 bushels. as compared with 26.312,- 000 bushels.

Ten-year averages of these grains are: oats 67.L'i5.000 bushels; "barley ll.52'7,000'bushels; and mix- ed grains 141496.000 bushels. A sat- isfactory crop of buckwheat from a substantially reduced acreage is indicated. An increased pack of canning peas and tomatoes is re- ported. Production of fodder corn is estimated at 3.815.000 ions as against a ten-year average of 3.- 121.000 tons. Early potatoes were 5.10mi, both in quality and yield, and while we late crop was re- duced somewhat by lack of mois- ture. total production will likely be about average. Approximately l8,- 000 acres of sugar hosts were planted and production ls estimat- ed at 165,000 tons ,as against 164, 000 tons a yeor ago. Beans yielded well, but below-normal returns are indicated for turnips and man- golds. While honey production is up from last year, the crop is said to be only 80% of normal.

A bumper crop of strawberries was harvested and raspberries and cherries gave satisfactory returns, but. peaches and pears were below normnl. Indications are that the production of apples, plums and grapes will be close to the aver- age for the past five years. Pro- duction of flue-cured tobacco from a somewhat. smaller acreage is estimated by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics a9, 83,400,000 pounds. as compared with 83,206,000 pounds in 1947.
