Every event has its human in- : terest angle.

Looking back on the two-day fair at Albcrton an observer might recall the unfailing cour- tesy of‘ officials at all times; the livestock judges who came to the end of their task with smiling faces even after a gruelling day of difficult decis- I ions in the ring; the attitude of - exhibitors, most of them show- ’ ing good sportsmanship whether : winning or losing . a few : sometimes showing a spirit not j quite so good.

FUTURE BRIGHT

This would seem to auger well for the future of the live- stock industry, the future of homes with good liomemakers. and the future of the Alberton Exhibition.

The pride of these young ex- hibitors was justified and their interest was commendable.

HOSPITAL PLAN

(Continued from page 1) June Z, 1962, claims paid f)!‘ such cases amounted to almost $200,000. The provision of this care does not materially de- crease the cost of operation of geneia‘ hospitals in this vince, Dr. I-Iowatt stated.

The medical advisory com- mittee has therefore recom- mendeo that applications for out-of-province hospital treat- ment bc approved only for such limited period-s of time as ap- pears necessary to provide the specific therapy which is no- available here. Patients would then be returned to Island hos- pitals for rehabilitation meas- ures and convalescent care.

Also under active considera~ tion is the marked increase in h outpatient services.

is is particularly evident in the ordering of services laboratory tests and radiologic procedures almost as a routine by some physicians.

TIME WASTED

Similarly it appears that In some cases patients are being referred to the out-patients de- partments for services which should be provided at the phy- sician's office or the patient's home. This not only adds to the cost of hospital insurance plan so decreasing the amount avail- able for necessary hospital care. e of hospital personnel.

The co-operation of all phy- sicians is essential if the plan is to provide the best services possible to patients who most

att emphasized.

Dir. I-Iowatt paid tribute to Miss Mona Wilson, RN, stating that because of her many years of faithful and pioneering ser- vice to the department of health and to public health in this pro- vince, her retirement as ‘rec- tor cf public health nursing, at the end of October 1961 was regretted. Miss Wilson was a tireless worker who was able to impart her own enthusiasm into those with whom she came in contact. Not only did she develop a-nd maintain a high level of public health nursing service to all parts or vince, but her interests were much wider and extended to all fields of public health, Dr. Howatt stated.

N0 EPIDEMICS

'No epidemics of serious dis- eases occurred during the year. Infectious hepatitis and some dysentc-ry were prevalent along with the usual childhood dis- eases. There were no cases of polio. diphtheria, or smallpox reported during the year. It is interesting to note, ' Howatt that in the five years previous to 1956 there were 135 paralytic cases of polio in tne province. and in the six years since 1955 there have been only 11 paralytic cases.

It would appear that the use of the Salk vaccine should de- serve much of the credit for this great‘ decrease. Isolation; of slzlgella sonne (dysentery) were down nearly two-thirds in -1961, compared _with 1960. It is

G arth Harrison. acting district inspector, fruit and ve- getable division, Canada de- partment of agriculture, said he feels that the seven-day period is long enough to any trace of blight, and that the po- tatoes would probably deterior- ate in appearance if they were held longer.

It has been difficult to protect potatoes from blight this sea- son, growers explain, because the rain has been so persistent and so heavy that it has been impossible, at times, to get a spray. or dusting application, to stay on the tops long enough

hoped that this is an indica- tion of a waning disease rather than lack of sampling. TYPHOID CARRIERS

Two camriers of typhoid or- ganisms Riverside Hospital early in i962.~?()ne carrier became nega- tive after a relatively short course of antibiotics. However, the other carrier required a cholecystectomy and in any weeks of antibiotic therapy be- fore negative results were ob- tained Every patient and every member of the staff were check- ed thoroughly but no evidence was uncovered of typhoid in- fection.

Dr. I-Iowatt said despite ad- rances in the diagnosis and therapy of tuberculosis, new infections still occur as is evidenced by the discovery of new active cases and the treatment of 166 cases at the provincial sanatorium and re- habilitation centre during 196i.

In contra‘ distinction to the past four years when it was a rarity to find teenagers suffer- ing from tuberculosis, during 1961 no less than six of this age group required treatment.

It =hould be noted, Dr. How- att «:.mtinued_ that in 1961 the Tuberculosis Act provided free treatment n P.E.I. for all those requiring treatment with certain exceptions. During the calendar year 1961 the death ra ‘om tuberculosis was 5.8

0- per cent per 100.000 population.

Dr. Peart discussed the Sas- katchewan crisis that recently occurred between the provincial government and doctors.

“To understand the problem." stated Dr. Peart, “one must un- derstand the situation of the long period of mistrust between the government and doctors." The government had not acted on several promises, he said.

In 1959 Premier Douglas pro- posed a five-point plan to bring in a medical plan. The fifth of these points. he said, was not acceptable to those providing and receiving service. The Sask- atchewan government went to the polls June 8. 1960, with the medical problem most promin- ent in the platform of politi- cians. Dr. Peart said a 41 per- cent majority vote was return- ed. and Premier Douglas an- nounced he would set up an ad- visory committee and introduce a plan beneficial to both doctors

the government brought in the new act, indicating that e, new act was already drawn up‘ before the committee brought in l it's recommendations. i

This annoyed the medical pro- . fession because it indicated there 1 had been no consultation be-l tween the government and doc-l tors prior to the bringing in of; the act. Therefore the doctors condemned the act because it gave them "no rights and pri- vileges, Dr. Peart continued.

“The doctors in Saskatchewan have stoutly maintained right from the first, that the dispute has nothing _to do with rates or charges — i-t was strictly -a inat- ter of principle," he said. I-lel believed that the act was pass-l ed speedily because as he; termed it “Mr. Douglas was leaving the province, and is ca», binet shuffle occurred about that 1 time." ' JOINT MEETING

The doctors wanted the gov- ernment to suspend or repeal the act as a basis for negotia- tlons, and when this could not be arranged, many left.

Emergency treatment centres were then established in some hospital centres, with about 200 doctors participating. The serp vice provided was absolutely‘ free, and people did not com- plain of poor service. No one died as a result of a lack of medical care.

Dr. Peart said he thought the ‘ provincial radio and press were sympathetic towards the do tor’s cause, and gave an accur- ate account. but In some out- side provinces and countries, he said he believed the problem was not accurately reported.

During this period, two doc-

As a young woman she went to the United States where she was employed until her retire- ment one year ago. At that time she returned to Alberton to re- side with her sister, Miss Shir- ley MacArthur.
