Those Pensions Promises

So difficult is it to find alibis for the CAMPBELL Government on any ground what- ever that it is not surprising our contemporary, every time it ventures to speak on the Govern- ment's behalf, puts its foot in it. Old age pen- sionsis the latest subject on which it comes to grief. ’When it says this was not an issue in the last election campaign, it ignores the state- ments of its party candidates, many of whom criticised the amounts paid, alleging that the original Liberal $20 monthly plan had been re- duced to $15 under the Conservatives. This was also emphasized in the federal campaign by the Liberal candidates. The aged people were un- iqustionably given to believe that by voting

Liberal their pensions would be increased.

. But this was not the only Liberal pledge with regard to Old Age Pensions. Plank 14 of the Liberal platform read: “Urging on the Dominion Govcruntent its obligation to pay the full cost of old age pensions." In the manifesto read by Premier C.-\.\II’BELL and published in the Patriot of July 5, 1935, we find this assur- ance reiterated: "The Liberal party, if returned to power, will urge upon the Dominion Gov- ernment its oblig.-1tio11 to pay the full cost of old age pensions in this Produce."

\\'l1:1t has been done to implement this promise?

We note that our contemporary has not stopped short of garbling its own previous quotation of Dr. I\L\cl\l1LLAN’s statement about old age p(‘llSl0l‘lS and the Liberal pledge to bal- ance the budget. The Doctor’s statement as quoted by l‘rcn1ier CAMPBELL at the Bloomfield

of July 13. 1935, was as follows: MAC;‘\l1L1..-«N said in Tignish that we can’t bal- ance the budget except by increased taxation, cutting out unemployment relief, the old age pensions." answer, as reported in the same issue of the Patriot, was: “But I say to you that we can and must balance the budget zviihattt doing any of these tI1ing.r.”

It is scarcely necessary to remind our con- temprary that this solemn promise has already been violated. Taxation has been increased on chain stores and on public amusements of all 1 kinds. And a great effort made by Mr. i CAMPBELL and his associates in conjunction with the KING Government to obtain power to impost- additional provincial sales taxes was pre- \‘t'lll(‘(l only by the vigilance of the Senate.

No one is obliged to use the privilege; so why try to work up an ‘inferiority complex’ over it ?" >

SELECTING THE PROPER POLLEM TO PREVENT HAY- FEVER

Although the hay fever season starts earlier tn the South than in the North. ' the season generally‘ speaking extends Irom July to October according to the date at whlch the ragweed or other plant matures and the pollen from It get: carried away in the Air.

There are 3 number of pollen: whlch cause hay fever and the putt- ent who is seeking relief from hay fever symptoms expects to have tests made on his skin so that the special pollen ca. ‘ ,, the may be sound.

Oren 0. Durham In his book “Your Hay llvver" says:-—The main points for the selectlon of 5 partl- cular pollen as belng the likely cause of your partlcttlar symptoms nre:—.

1. The pollen must. be one that is being carried tn the air by the wind. If it Isn’t carried by the wind it will not ordinarily reach your nose and therefore not cause hay fever. There Ls thus no need to treat with pollen of goldenrod daisy, dahlla, or slmllar flowers Visited by insects. ~ 2. The dates of maturing and the carrying away of Lhe pollen by the wind must agree with the au- son in which the hay lever symp- toms appear.

3. The plant. from which the pollen com/es must be present. in ' general locality m which the patient. is mccttswmed to suffer.

4. The pollen should have been shown tobepresenttn Lbealrm sumclent. amount to cause trouble. The actual amount or concentra- tion at pollen can now be measur- ed.

5. And flrmlly, of course, the patient must. be shown to be sensi- tive to that pollen by skin test. or by other means-

It. is by using the above common sense rules that the proper pollen for injection is selected in tmncto prevent. hay fever in my partlcular case.

There are the three systems of giving the tn,lect.lons—bodore the hay fever season starts, during the hay fever season, and at two to four weekly intervals during the en- tire year. Results would seem to Show that. glvlng the injections throughout the entire year gives best results, before the hay fever season starts gives next best, and during the season good results but not as good as during either of the other periods.’

The success of the lnlectlon of pollen method, which gradually makes the individual less sensi- tlve to the pollen causing his hay fever depends upon the amount. of his sensltlveness and of course the amount of pollen in the at: In his partlcular dim-lct. some cases an cured in one season. sortie take as many as tour or flve, and A car- tatn percentage apparently can- not be helped by this method at all.
