Child and Maternal Health

National Health Week is the time to review what health stand- ards have been and to plan for improvement.

To mention one phase only. in 1926. Canada's Infant mortality rate was 102 per 1.000 live births. In 1953 it was a little over 35 per 1.000 live births. Medical research ind Preventive medicine share the credit for this remarkable drop. However. since Canada ranks 13th among nations who have publish- ed mortality figures for 1953. it is obvious that much more still needs to be done.

Although in that year Prince Ed- ward Island. with an infant death rate of 28.1. ranked 2nd among the provinces it is still far behind the " A fl 381 by " ” with a rate of 10 or New Zealand with a rate of I) per 1.000 live births.

itive system and the free enterprise way have worked well, for example he said. an estimated 110 million people in Canada and the United States now have hos- pital expense coverage.

Mr. Manning predicted that 1955 would be another good year for the life insurance industry. The price level was remaining rela- tively steady and other economic factors pointed to a growing cap- acity to buy.

"Moreover. when life insurance is related to income. it is readily apparent that there are many people today who are not ade- quately insured." he said.

"The general outlook is one of confidence and a firm belief in the long term prospects for the future development of our two countries."

Despite a decline hi the gen- eral Interest rate. the company increased its not rate of interest to 3.9397. The comparable figure in 1953 was 8.7896. Net income

was Sl8.000.000.

Total income from all sources reached the record figure of 906,- 000,000 with premium Income top- piniz S77.000.000 - an increase of almost 38.000000 ever the 1953 figure. As a result of the year”: operations and earnings. lb. mm. pany was able to Increase its eon- tlngency reserve and surplus S2.797.000. Together with oapita. they now total 827,000,000.

During the year more than 060.- 000.000 were invested hi mori- ..'ages. Mortgages and sales agree- nidnts now total 8177.000.000 or 34.69l. of the total assets. In ad- dltion. more than !6.&)0.000 were invested lu income-producing real estate.

Mr. Manning reported that the death rate among the company's policyholders was slightly higher than in 1958 but it had remained below the average of the past five years.

Dealing with the company'- group operations. he said new group business of il08.000.000 showed a substantial gain on 1963 and group business In force had reached Ifl75.000.000 -- one-third of the company's hial bushes! in force.

Strong feelings, pi i ting the refusal of the Government to agree to the severance of Park- dale school district from School Unit No. 1 were voiced at the annual meeting of the village held last night. The chairman of the commissioners. Mr. Ernest Lord. presided.

A good number of those pres- ent expressed themselves in re- gard to the separation of the Dis- trict from the School Unit. with- out which. they pointed out. the village could not proceed with a proposed water and sewage scheme.

Commissioner Edwin Cook. in reporting for water and sewage. recalled that the commissioners at a special meeting held during the year were given power to ar- range for the installation of a sewage and water system .pro- viding the district could be re- leased from the Unit. Mr. Cook pointed out that with the addit- ional building of schools in the school Unit in the immediate fu- ture. the resldents of Parkdale would be required to pay an am- ount well over 84.000 in taxes for the proposed buildings.

He pointed out that Parkdale had already paid their share for the srection of new buildings in the surrounding districts. all of which were built after the Unit came into existence. He also pointed out that Parkdale had its buildings before the unit was formed.

Mr. Cook said that as long as the school district was obliged to stay in the Unit. no hope of ever being able to proceed with the water question couldbe expected. He told of his meeting with the Premier who informed him that a survey was to be conducted re- garding water and sewage dispo- sal. Mr. Cook said that a meet- ing with the Water Commission- ers of Charlottetown had not brought forth any positive results. EXTENSION POSSIBLE

Mr. Cook raised the possibility. that the confines of the village might be extended to include the fringe areas of Parkdale. in which case. he said. sortie relief could be expected through in- creased taxes.

The Village Clerk. Mr. Arthur Seaman. read a letter from the Minister of Education, Hon. Kler Clark, in which it was indicated that nothing could be done in the way of separation at least until the end of the school year in June 1956. The Minister express- ed the opinion that the severance of Parkdale would perhaps result in the disintegration of the whole Unit.

Mr. Warren Burns. one of the trustees of the School Unit, ex- plalned that the increase lnscliool population is coming from Cen- tral Royalty and Spring Park with a small increase expected in Parkdale. He told them that in order to accommodate this in- crease two proposals were offer- ed ta the trustees. The first was to enlarge the ' ” buildings and the iecond was to build one large building costing about 0160.- 000 on the Mount Edward Road. NOT CONIULTED
