Health Progress Backwards

Canada's death rate from tuberculosis was hwer last year than it has ever been, according so preliminary figures just issued by the V1131 Statistics branch of the Bureau of Statistics. Unfortunately, neither Prince Edward Island no, New Brumwiek shared in this decline. The Island death rate increased fmm 463.‘: 1943 to 63.7 in i944, while the New Brunswic rate increased from 48-6 l0 51-7 "'1 ll“ “me pqeiod. These are the figures for deaths b)’ rate of occurrence. The Bulletin of the Can- adian Tuberculosis Association, if"! Which they are quoted, adds that both Prince Illwlld Island and New Brunswick reported consider- able reductions in i943, “making ii"<=°ml>¢f1“l' ory upswing slnioet to be expected. The 10111? la this Province, however, seems to have been. much more than was exlmlfll- wllll ll" a" eeption of the Province of Quebec, it gives US the highest tuberculosis death rate in Canada. ‘elm-es; in i943 we stood fourth lowest on the list. ‘s against our death rate of 63-7 l"! Yul-I thg gym-age f0!’ all Canada W3! 48-0-

These figures give emphasis to the resolu- tions passed at the recent annual meeting of the P. E. I. Tuberculosis League, calling for com- pulgory X-ray testing throughout the Province and greater consideration on the paitof the Provincial Government in administer-nil! ti" extra mural grant for tuberculosis victims. They also suggest that it is hiEh film W! lllll ll“ MW‘ 1y constructed wing of the Provincial Sana- torium in operation. Too much time has already been lost in this matter.

It is also to be hoped that, whether or hot i mnplege ggrecmfillt is reached at the Dom- inion-Provincial Conference shortly to resume at Ottawa, the Dominion ‘Government will find means of implementing its PT°P°§3l 1° Klimt $3,000,000 for provincial tuberculosis programs. It is proposed to distribute this grant on a dou- ble basis, 5o per cent on the basis of per capita distribution of population, and 50 per cent ac- cording to the average number of deaths from tuberculosis in each province over the previous five years; the grant in each case not to ‘exceed one-quarter of the total monies, exclusive of capital expenditures, expended by the Provin- cial Qovernment and its local governments dur- iiiq the previous fiscal yeaiMfor the prevention and truitmcut of tuberculosis. Under this ar- rangement. the allotment t0 Prince Edward Is- land would approximate $25,500-

Drastic U.K. Housing Measures

Great as is the housing problem in many p-rts of Canada, it is still worse in the Old Country, and drastic steps are being taken by the new Labor Government to remedy condi- tions. In outlining the (iovcrnmcnfs hous- ing program iii ilic House of Commons last week, Health Minister Bevan announced blunt- ly that traditional rights of property owners would be overridden in a number of ways.

First, the Government will requisition parts of large homes in which it considers that too few people are living. Secondly, municipal hous- ing authorities will be able, on i4 days’ notice, to take over land which they require for new houses. The price of the property,will be settled later. Conversion of houses into business prem- ises will be strictly licensed. New houses will be erected almost entirely by local municipal housing authorities, and private 'pcople or firms that do erect houses will not be allowed to resell them for four years on s speculative basis. B_v that time the Government expects the housing situation to be eased.

In order to provide each separate family in the United Kingdom with s home of its own, the country needs 750,000 more houses. It needs another 500,000 if everybody is to be given a decent home. Before the war 800,000 homes were built annually, but during the en- tire six years of the war only 200,000 were built. During the war 200,000 houses were completely destroyed by enemy action.

Business Prospects

Chiefly because of reduction in marlsetlngs of wheat and hogs during the first half of this year as compared with the'unusually heavy snar- ketings during" the first six months of i944,’ says the C. P. R. report, the prairie provinces ac- in cash income from the sale of farm products in Can- ada. However, increased marketings, chiefly of game, calves and oats helped to. offset port of the decline, Cash income for the Dominion during first six months of 1945- was $702 million, approximately $62 million less than for the comparable p riod last year. Saskatchewan y," down $5! million, Alberta about $85 and lhglpbs $l4 million. ‘There was a minor de-

Payments were made under the Wheat Acreage Reduction Act. the Prairie Farm Assistance Act, and the Prairie Farm Income Act, are riot in- cluded in these estimates of cash income from the sale of farm products. The estimates do include, however, the amounts paid, during the periods covered, on account of wheat participa-

tion payments aiid those Dominion and Provin- eial Government payments which farmers re- oeive as subsidies to J‘:..cs.

All Saints-Day. This Festival takes its origin from the conversion in the seventh cen- tury of the Pantheon at Rome into a Christian place of worship, and its dedication by Pope Boniface IV to the Virgin and all the martyrs. The anniversary of this event was at first cele- ibrated on the 1st of May, but the day was sub- sequently altered ‘to the 1st of November, which was thenceforth, under the designation of the Feast of All Saints, set apart as a general com- memoration in their honour. The festival has been retained by the Anglican Church and Pro- testant Churches generally.
