Healih tilnisler Begins Speech In Draft Debate

That we are unable "in pay the bill to keep psychiatrists in the Province" was pointed out by Hon. A. W. Matheson. Minister of Health and Welfare, when he rose late yesterday afternoon to take part in the Draft Address debate. The Minister said the preunt rate of pay was 59,000 per year whlle 512,000 was needed.

Hon. Mr. Mathelon spoke only briefly as he followed Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MacMlllan who spoke close to the six o'clock adjourn- ment hour. Mr. Matheson will have the floor when the debate is resumed this afternoon.

He briefly touched on the ne- cessity of a. treatment centre at Falconwood Hospital and talked of the difficulty in obtaining the services of registered nurses and said the Department found it necessary to advertise for nurses in the neighboring Provinces.

Expanding li'Ea'iEii

Continued from page 1

No cases of typhoid fever and only one case of paraty-phoid fever was reported during 1952. "This", says the report, "seems to indicate a marked improvement in the gen- eral sanitation throughout the Province especially as regards the handling of milk and other food stuffs.

Polio Cases

.1

Sonic sixty-nine cases of polio- myeleiis and two destlhs from tails disease were reported. The first case occurred in May and the last in November with a peak incidence in September when 40 cases were reported, Prince County was the hardest hit with 42 cases, a large nuinber of which occurred in the O'Leary district. Charlottetown and summer-side showed a comparative- ly low incidence. Though 41 cases were in children under 15 years of age. there were seven cases in the 30-39 year group and one over 40 years. The incidence of severe mus- cle weakness and residual disabil- ity was much greater-,ln the older group. i

"Though the number of reported cases seems high," says the report. "it must. be remembered that our physicians watch carefully for this disease during the summer months. and mild cases are reported which might not have come to our atten- tion a few years ago."

The report adds, as a most grat- ifying feature, the remarkable de- gree of recovery achieved in polio oases occurring during the year. It is expected that, though scone disability will remain in certain cases, almost all should be able to rcsiune some gainful occupation.

Reference is also made to "an unusual human case of anthrax occurring during the year as a re- sult of infection from the carcass of an animal. This patient was studied carefully by our Depart- mcif. especially our baclerlologist, who assisted greatly in one diag- nosis and treatment of the case."

The report goes on to review briefly the activities in each div- islon, which are covered more fully in later sections, The divisions are those of cancer control, dental public health, laboratories, mental health, nutrition, public hellth nursing, sanitary engineering, tub- erculosis control, venereal disease control, and vital sistlotla.

me scope of the laboratories div- lsion was enlarged alluring the year by the introduction of new tests to determine the effect of various new drugs on tubercle bacilli loo- laied from many sanitorlum PI- tients, by many exalminallons for the presence of fungi, and by 3 marked extension ain the nuniiber and scope of blocligmical tests per- formed.

Preven tlve Plychlatri

Marked advance in the field of

preventive payc'hlatry was also made during an rear with the opening of the Mental Health Clinic in Charlottetown. Two de- flciencies are noted, however, Fac- ilities for giving appropriate treat- meat for certain forms of mental disease are not available in the Province. nor are facilities or spec- ially trained personnel available to undertake the treatment of child- ien wilth behaviour and minor mental disorders. "If a psychiatrist could be train- ed in this special field," the report adds, "the behaviour problems found in the public schools by the mental health educationist and by the public health niirses could re- ceive adequate attention."

Regional Clinics

In public health nursing. the re- port notes that regional clinics for the protection of infants and pre- school dhlldren against diphther- la, whooping cough and tetanus has been an important factor in reducing the incidence of those diseases which have been common and frequently fatal in this age group.

In sanitary engineering. super- vision has been given to pasteuriz- ation piants and the quality of product sold has far surpassed that produced in any previous year. Ef- forts are now being directed in as- alsting the various milk producers to improve the cleanliness of milk sold in the raw state and also that handled thrmigh the pastein'ln- tlon plants. A new program of sun- ervislon of eating establishments was begun and will be widely ex- tended this year. A preliminary survey has indicated "1. mat nod for improvement in this fi id." Another important new feature is a consultation service in the in- stallailon of mlinlclpal and nrivate water aupply and sewage disposal systems.

In tuthei-culosis control, a total of I17 acllve cases were discovered durlnc the year. indicating that the disease is for from conquered in this Province. Provision of it

THE GUARDIAN . CHARLOTTETOWN

A sharp crou-fire debate between two long-time bitter opponents featured yesterday's session of the Legislature held in the afternoon. Dr. W. J. P. Mac'Millan. former Leader of the Opposition, held the floor when the Draft Address de- bate was adloumed last Friday and he resumed when the House

His critic in the House was Pre- mier J. Walter Jones who inter- jectecl a remark regarding the im- portance of the "escalator clause" in the tax agreemen with the Rderal Government a d said it had brought the Province a great deal more than it otherwise would have received.

Dr. Msctlvilllan askedvabout the 340,000 per year the Provinnce was supposed to get starting in 1924 and asked the Premier, and mem- bers of the Government, if they knew what a surplus was. He said that the payments received in I026 of 0126.000 were damages awarded for non-fulfillment of the terms of Confederation.

European Relief

Dr. Macitfillan congratulated the Government on having contributed 51,000 to European flood relief and said that Prince Edward Island led. the way on a per caplta basis. He called this Province "the Gar- den of Eden of the world".

He paid tribute to Premier Jones for heading the flood relief cam- paign here and stated that some of the lm ants from Holland had oontrlbut d twice. He did not believe the Red Cross was getting the support it deserved here and mentioned that headquarters of the organization said thatamounts allocated to provinces would have to be reduced to those which did not meet their expressed obliga- tlons. A

Premier Jones asked "Are you a canvauer?” and Dr. MacMi1lan re- plied that he was always 9. can- vasaer for the Red Cross. He re- marked "I canvassed you and got good results"; he also reminded the Premier that he had asked him to speak in the Red Cross campaign and had been assured of co-operation.

In speaking of the work done here .in aid of crlprpled children the speaker noted that approxi- mately :60,000 had been contribut- ed, mainly through the work of the Rotary Club, in the past 20 years, and said that "We don't have to take a back place to any town in Canada." In this connec- tion he spoke of the polio work

remarked that so far as treatment was concerned this was one of the best places in Canada.

Crltlul 'ot Speech

Dr. Macilvliilan was highly crit- ical of the speech from the Throne and said it was only a farce and wondered who wrote it and who prepared it. He remarked that the only reference to the Department of 'Public Woria and Highways concerned the Trans-Canada High- way and said this was taken directly under the twin; of Prem- ier Jones.

In the customary tribute to the resigning monarch, Queen Elin- beth 2nd, the elder statesman said that there was more interest be- ing taken in her coronation than in any other in world history. He suggested that Premier Jones should I'BfilJ5efll. the Province lit the event.

so far as rural electrification is concerned he said he would keep an open mind and go along with the Government. lfowever, v be warned that the people who want it must be prepared to pay for it.

Regarding highway accidents the doctor deplored the prevalence of them but remarked that the people were lucky to have so many regis- tered nurses, now married, who were willing to act at the First Aid posts set up. He approved of the excellent help they gave. but thought there should be more of the poets.

htin In schools

The speaker and Premier Jones rene-wed their argument regarding the teaching of Latin in public schools with Dr. Madlvfillan main- taining that "if you don't know Latin you can't speak English".

so far as general education is concerned the former leader of the opposition asked if it was the in- tention of the Department of Edu- cation to train agboy for a bank. a business, or train him to live.

To him unionism suggested I" organization whereln"a few scalli- wags" can control the complete movement.

Dr. Macmillan humourously ask- ed if the Government could make as much profit selling the Hills- boroug-h Bridge as they had re- portedly made selling the "Chinese Bridge” spans. He also asked if the Premier was 30111: W mile the House into his confidence re- garding the location of the Trans- CanadaHighIWay from Cornwall to this city. The Premier replied "I
