"Results of the primaries in II- linois. New Jersey.

-CLPCVI.-PPuts Forth Sweeping Program For Social Security For Second Consecutive Year

By JOHN Lt.-BLANC

Canadian Press Staff Writer

TORONTO (CP)-A sweeping so- cial security program was put for- iiard Wednesday by the Canadian l.nlicr Congress as one of the first piilicies of the newly-created or- L'.r'llll'l.ElIllll'l.

t series of rcsoliitlons adopted ll tlic Cl.C's founding convention gm.-red a wide range of measures from a comprehensive national lit-nltli insurance plan to a federal silicmc for industrial pensions for all workers.

The health proposals were re- ciirrlcd as the most important planks in the platform. and the l)ulIt'y session of the 1.000.000-m9m' lll'i' organization decided to launch it campaign with its affiliated or- i;.lni1ations to press for their im- pli-inentation as soon as possible.

The health proposals included all forms of preventive. diagnos- lir and curative services by physi- riiiiis. surgeons. dentists and speci- nlists. and hospital care.

it should be made available i-iilicr by the federal government alaiic or by that government in miiiiint:tioii with the provinces. the vuiisrcss said.

PRESENT PLAN INADEQUATE

Speakers described as inade- quale the cost-sharing plan for hospital and diagnostic services tiiiich tlirs federal government re- rcntly placed before the provinces. so far. British Columbia and Sask- atchewan have signified accept- illl('I' of this plan.

Stanley Knowles CCF Commons member for Win nip e 1.; North (' iitrc and a delegate as a TLC tipographical union member. said the federal offer is "just a sugges- tion of a health plan"

Stringing from health to unem- llirtyincnt insurance. the congress called for a long series of amend- ments to the federal Unemploy- rncnt insurance Act.

-Main point was that benefits Paid to insured persons when they become jobless should be at least two-thirds of their pay. The max- imum now is 330 a week for A per- son with dependents.

RESTORE FORMER PERIOD

. The maximum period for receiv- ing benefits should be restored to -11 weeks. it was cut down to 31 ticeks a year ago when weekly iwoeflts were increased. Coveraga

should be enldrged to include all ol

Possible groups.

Workers should be able to rc- colve benefits when Illness forced them off the Job wintertime sup- Piltmentnry benefits. which now start . an. i. should start a month earlier.

The national tirlustrlal psutoa

plan suggested by the congress would be one with all workers covered and to which all employ- ees and employers would contri- bute. wlth the federal government administering it. It should provide an adequate pension apart from old age pensions.

The congress urged. too. tlial the 31.200-a-year ceiling on govern- ment annuities be boosted to 32.400.

TORONTO (CPI - Experts say that one of every 12 children born his year is likely to wind up in a mental hospital.

These patients will stay there for an average it years with serious mental illness and only one-half of them will recover.

Those are some of the startling facti which. says the Canadian Mental Health Association. prompt it to sponsor Mental Health Week. this year April 29 to May 5.

Mental and emotional illnesses have assumed the role of Canada's public health enemy No. 1 Many more persons are treated in hos- pital for mental disorders than for cancer. heart disease. tuberculo- sis. polio. accidents and all other ailments combined. STAGGERING BILL

The national bill for mental dis- ability is staggering. Lumping costs of treatment. lost time and lost income, it amounts to about S500,000.000 each year.

Severe mental i I l n e s s has touched one family in every five and today there are more than 60,000 patients in Canadian mental hospitals and institutions.

But it is not a one-way road to mental illness. Some hospitals are curing and discharging within one year 60 per cent of the victims of schizophrenia. one of the most crippling forms of mental disorder. Some discharge 75 per cent within a year.

During the Korean War. with personnel and therapy ?V-"Mable immediately behind the lines. re- covery from mental illness was prompt and complete in 95 of every 100 cases. About 75 per cent recovered within two weeks.

Those. too. are reasons for Men- tal Health Week.
