On Socialized Medicine

ny CLELL BRYANT

LONDON (Reuters; -—‘A 4,000- member doc-tors’ union Thursday sharply attacked Britain's social- ‘uod medicine program.

‘The Medical ‘Practitioners’ Un- bu, representing about one-fifth gfrthe family doctors in the gov- ernment’s national health _pro- gram, said nine years of social- lred medicine have brought an “unfair worsening” of physicians’ es and a sharp drop in ‘,“sense of real professional ‘ 'tyI!! ‘union made a ‘series of ‘ demands —- including one for government - paid annual va-

Dr. Cardew said that when so- cialized medicine was introduced in 1948 -under a Labor party gov- rernment, Aneurln Bevan, then health minister, said It was vital to see there was. "no unfair wors- ening” of doctors’ incomes and that they have a “sense of real professional opportunity.”

The doctor commented: “We feel that statement has been largely negated by subsequent de- velopme ts.” _ o NOTHI G FOR QUALITY

A union statement said that one cause of dissatisfaction among doctors “is that all general prac- titioners are paid the same rate irrespective of the quality of ser- vice they give." ”

It,added: “No promotion in the general. practitioner service is provided for, or any reward for exceptional services rended .”

per year. *.._While this‘ situation may be excused in some cases on ground or financial stringency it is not the only answer, the time is pas- sed when member organizations of the Federation should take-a more realistic view of their re- sponsibilities‘ than the frame- work of a general farm organiza- tion. RURAL COMMUNITY , On»Decem.ber 16 Farm Forum broadcast the question of “‘what things make the difference in having a good community was discussed and the resulting op- inion province by province pro- vide an ‘interesting contrast. In Ontario where material things are supwvsed to be of very‘ great importance the forums said churches made the difference,

British Columbia and Alberta for neighboruly co-operative people and Prince places “roads" at the head of the list. '

This opinion is, of course. borne out by the grooves worn in the fl=a-gstons in the Provin- cial Building and leading to the office of the Department of High- ways. Th-is preoccupation with roads on our part is an interes- ting phenomenon, granted roads are important but they should certainly not be the chief aim of government.

TAKE 2 AMONG FARMERS EC

Productivity must come before services of any kind, and pro- ductivity in this province de- pends on agriculture and educa- tion. It may be of interest to note that the annual meeting of the Federation of Agriculture was not disposed against a recent increase in the tax on gasoline used for farm purposes. How- ever, it did go on record as op- posinﬁ any further increase even for roads.

'U.S. CO-OPERATIVES

In recognition of the contri- -bution of farm co-operative.-to American governors last year their welfare of their states ten named October as co-operative month. These states were Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesi- ota, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas and North and South Dakota, this recognition would not likely have taken place unless the co-ops were not only ding big busi- ness but good business as well. It is interesting to speculate on the possibility of Prince Edward Island co-ops being some day re- cognized by our governor in a similar manner.

y Guild Meets

The regular monthly meeting of the Presbyterian Guild, Monta- gue, was held at the home of Mrs Elsie Watterworth, Monday even- ing, January 6th, '

The meeting was conducted by the president, Mrs. George Mac- Cannell and opened with the hymn “Standing At The Portals." The scripture lesson was read by Mrs. Watterworth, followed by the Lord's prayer In unison.

Fifteen members and one vis- itor responded to roll call. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Mrs. S.D. Reid and were 1 approved as read. The correspon- ! dence was read and discussed. |

At the close of the businessé period a social hour was enjoyed | and lunch .was served by the hos- I tess, assisted by Mrs.

tee to the Federation of Agri- culture. The committee recom. mended as follows

1. That_ the Federation urﬂe the closing-out and surrender of ch-arter of such organizations as have become inactive.

1. That the Federation urge and promote the amalgamation of existing organizations i-nto one province-wide organization un- der the name, constitution, and by-laws of the Pota-to Producers Association, or as it may be seen fit to amend them.

3. That all matters of policy in the industry, such as setting up of marketing boards under legislation should be declded'by the proposed organization.

4. That the Federation take the lead in seeking to remove the antipathies, animosities and prejudices which have hitherto hindered such a move.

The Federation of Agriculture having accepted the report of the Special Pototo Committee must now consider what‘ effective means can be taken to imple- ment the recommendations con- tained in the report. It is not the responsibility or likely not the intention of the Federation to undertake the organization of the potato growers but it may pm- perly be expected where indic- oted to provide the potato grow- ers with ‘every assistance and en- couragement necessary in or- ganizing themselves. -

The Potato producers organiz- ation in this province should be well financed, it should have money for advertising, promo- tion, disease control and for the payment of expenses incident- ial to any organization. Agricul- ture will never be said to be completely organized in this pro- vince Imless the potato g-rowers have their own active, well fin- anced commodity group. As the contents of the report suggests it is quite in order that the po- tato organization should have the responsibility of devising policy with respect to marketing and marketingboards and represen- tations to the Federation to the

national bodies. SOIL CONSERVATION Generally the Federation of Agriculture does not lend its sup- -port to private commercial en- terprises, such activity could very well prove embarrassing for‘ the Federation would very soon find itself called upon to sup- port or endorse competing com- panies. However, at the present time the Federation is depart- Ing from this policy to draw the attention of farmers generally to a series of meetings which are-

-to be held in this province dur-' ing the month of February by

Central Christian Church

Holds Annual

The annual general business meeting of Central Christian Church was held in the Church hall January 15th, at 3:00 p. m. with a splendid attendance of in- terested members being present.

Dr. Ross Stewart, chairman of the Board lead the congregation in a brief devotional service be- fore calling the meeting to order for the presentation of reports which were given by the depart- mental heads.

Record‘ achievements were marked in very phase of the work and the treasurer’s report indicat- ed an unprecedented high rate of giving both in current and missionary gifts to more than 20 separate fields totalled $3690.00 or approximately 30 per cent of the contributions made by the mem- bers. This congregation supports

Caterpillar Company and the Rome Plough Company.

It is the intention of these two companies to outline for Island farmers the possibility of great- ly improved conservation prac- tices and the use of modern heavy equipment in either clear- ing or restoring land. From in- formation made available to it the Federation of Agriculture be- lieves that the meeting will bring much worthwhile and interest- ing information on‘conservat-ion practices to those attending. Fur- ther it is the intention of the companies to conduct a number of practical demonstrations.

The Federation therefore re- commends that farmers attend these meetings and profit from the information to be made avail- able by persons who have had -a great deal of experience in other parts of the world in mak-

more profitable.

The deacon Board gave a most commendable report of their ben- evolent activities pertaining to the aid and support of needy Church families.

The reports presented by the four ladies organizations reveal- ed an acceptance of many pre- sented opportunities and a work well done. ‘ FOR FUTURE

Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Donald Stewart, Superin- tendent of the J unlor Church fam- 'ily a most remarkable work was evidenced through a well pre- pared report. This is surely a work building for the future.

The Minister presented a report of personal activities relating to Church and community and cited several of these which have re- sulted in a banner year. Evan- gelism and missionary enthu- siasm contributed. toward the re- sultant success. "Nighlighting the year”, said Mr. Dunbar," was the ordination of Miss Vida Stew- art our missionary now in India, and the decision of Allan Dunbar to enter the ministry of Christ and the Church."

The chairman, Dr. Ross Stew- art, expressed appreciation for the fine support extended him during his tenure of office, ad- ding, a word of thanks of the many officers and organizations for their untiring devotion and loyalty to duty. He called upon all members to devotedly display the same consecreatlon during the

services.
