"The tranquillzlng drugs have been used quite extensively during the year and have been found ef- fective especially in excitod psy- chotic patients." the apeaker said.

"The use of these drugs has les- aoncd the number of shock treat- ments given as well as the need for such treatment in many cases.

"In the Preventive Section Mental Health we note a great number of people taking advant- age of this service.

"The number of new patients this year was 414. as compared with 156 last year. The total num- her of treatments this year was 3.014 as compared with 1.830 last year. and of 414 new cases this year only 30 had to go to the hos- pital for further treatment.

''It is not expected that this ser- vice will grow very much more as it is felt that a peak will be reach- ed and it will I-vel off in the next year or so.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING

"The biggest program of the Di- vision of Public Health Nursing last year was the polio inoculating of our children," said the Minis- ter. "It was started In 1955 with Grade: I and II in the school and last year we had planned to start in the spring and do all children born before January I. 1050 to Grade X in school, but due to a shortage of vaccine we had to leave a large portion of the programme until last fall when the vaccine bo- cama available. This year we hope to complete all our children who were born before January 1. 1057 and who have not reached the lift of nineteen years by December 31. 1957, as well as pregnant women who present a certificate from their doctors.

In the address which accompan-

Brigadier G. G. K. Peake. D.S.O., chairman of the Red Cross campaign in Charlottetown. reported last night that the can- vass got underway in the City on Monday of this week, when one lady and 35 gentlemen under Dr. G. C. Fisher, started the ball rolling towards gathering in the 312,800 required as Charlotte- town's share of the provincial ob- jective of 331,000.

When questioned as to the reason for the increased objective -this year, Brig. Peake explained that rising costs and expanding services have made It necessary to increase the objective by 6.851. "Everyone knows," he said "that the dollar buys only one.half of what it used to.” The amount be- ing sought across Canada is the exact sum required to meet the budget requirements of the ten divisions and the national head- quarters, and each Province has had itsobjectlve "upped" by 6.85? accordingly.

Hrlg. Pealte pointed out that

while it costs 360.000 to provide Red Cross services in Prince Ed- ward. Island. residents of this Province are only naked in con- tribute 831.000. The balance of what is required comes to us from what is collected across Canada. 'I(nowinir that we are a 'debfor' province". Brig. Peake remark. cd. "I am sure our Islanders will A4
