The fact that there were 277 ariiiiissions to Falconwood Hos- pital during 1054 and 270 dis-

was disclosed by Dr. Lor - nell (L. Fourth Kings) when he spoke on the Draft Address last Thursday night. With results like that". he said. '-'the new treat- ment Centre is well worth the 5200.000 the Devartment of Health is spending. If we were to keep on getting admissions and no discharges. it would soon cost over that amount."

In a break-down of figures. Dr Bonnell stated'that the num- ber of in-patients who were treat- .d by electro-convulsive therapy was 96. or these 44 recovered. in here much improved 24 were unimproved. There we twelve Loliotomy operations performed

eI)pr. Bonneli told the House that there had been 236 first inter- views made at the Mental Health Clinic during the past year along uith 350 interviews of people seen previously. In addition to these the psychiatrists saw 203 patients on first appomtinv--h and 149 previously interviewed patients either in their homes or in hospital. He praised the ..-...-ir of the two psycluatrists. in Macvicar and Dr. Theriault. Whom he said were doing a wonderful work.

LOW DEATH RATE

'rhat the T. 8. death rate in ttw Province last year was the lnucst yet recorded .was noted 1-,. Dr. Bonnell who said that the dfilih rate from tuberculosis dur- lni.- 1954 was 10.4 in 100.000. He ihnnght that this was a recordin all of Canada and expressed the opllllfln that soon the Sanator- lum would be a thing of the past in so far as the treatment of this disc-use is concerned. He was happy to note that the Govern- ment was taking steps to en- large the polio treatment facil- lites.

"Good miaancement is being malls in the treatment of Polio patients under Dr. Gcncheif" said the Fourth District Member from Kings. "We could not get along without him" said Dr. Bon- ncll There were 04 cases of the disvase reported with 69 of these soon by Dr. Genchef' in private homes: 10 were treated as in- pniients; (15 are still in): seven Ill general hospitals; and 30 pati- enis as out patients. .

He stated that each hospital was going in debt and that the Government would be well ad- vised to pay out the required 537.000 a year to prevent this situation. '"I'he Government may as well go in debt as the has pitsl. It means nothing to the Government anyway." he stat- at .

FLUOBIDATION

Dr. Bonnell strongly. recom- mended fluoridation of water as a means of preventing caries in the teeth of children. He quoted from the Canadian Medical Journ- al to prove that in areas where water had been fluoridated. a remarkable improvement in the condition of children's teeth was noted. "Who does the Mayor of Yarmouth think he is that he can tell us that fluoridation is not a good thing" he asked.

That the Government had seen fit to introduce a sidewalk con- struction policy in villages was commended by Dr. Bonnell who went on to point out that many villages needed ' A in the purchasing of fire-fighting equip- ment. He cited the Murray River Fire as an instance where more adequate equipment would have lessened the loss.

cause it has only twenty-eight days; for one reason or another I always like February. It means March is just around the corn- er - March the month of whim- sical weather - one day it snows and blows and you think there isn't another flake left up yound- er; the next day you awake to a sky-blue, sunshiny morning an the snowy fields are ” J " crusted; but by noon they begin to look a "bit the worse for warm- ing" - and little puddles and strearniet'a 1118210311!- Then you say to yourself hope- fully "winters back in broken. it won't be long till we see the robins againl" On the nice golden days.

I wonder as I wait for the last stages of dinner to finish. if there is any way I 'could win. oh! say about a thousand dollars. what for? Well, when I added up what It would take to buy all the nice things I see in the lovely, seed catalogs - well that thousand dollars is already shot! Not even a house flower have Inow!

I disposed of them. - But did it do any good? Not a darn bit! I wheeled worse than ever! I think living in a house without flowers really got me down! So now I'm starting from scratch - And if you value the plants you have now and hate to spoil their lovely outlines, please set them out of my sight when I visit - I assure you I'll have a slip - by book or by crookl O C O 1. Tuesday: Speaking of flow- ers. what ones are nicer than the Moss Roses. In fact Roses of all kinds have been people's favorites in the flower world for many years. The Moss Rose is thought to be the offspring of the Provence Rose. It is placed bot- a X " in the Centifolia group - known as the hundred-leafed rose. There isn't much mention of this Rose before 1596. It was listed in an English catalogue in 1724 and first seem in Dr. Boerhoave's garden in Leyden in 1727. its birthplace is not definitely est- ablished but it is supposed to be a contribution of England to the horticultural world. Records show it was exported from Eng- land in those days but never dis- covered elsewhere in the world growing in either it”: wild or natural state. Another strange feature of this Rose is that it varies in its mossiness in vari- ous parts of England - most moss in more humid regions - and long ago a poet wrote these lines about this lovely little flower: The Angel of the flowers one day. beneath a rose tree sleeping

lay.

That spirit - to whose charge is given

Whispered to the rose-

"Then." said the rose with deep- est glow." on me another grace bestow."

The spirit paused in silent thought, what grace was there that flower had not?

'Twaa but a moment - o'er the rose -

A veil of moss the angel throws -and robed in nature's simp- lest weed.

Can there a flower that rose ex- deed?

SATURDAY: I can't think of anything more interesting than trying out new recipes! When I think of all the concoctions I have tried out on my patient. under- standing family. Well - I have a guilty feeling. Now. Mavis, just six and one half years old says. "Mom is this recipe in the Guard- inn. one you're going to try. If it is, I'll cut it out for you!'' Here's a nice idea to try out next time you cook rice. It's called Risotto - no doubt an Italian name. Saute 1 cup chopped onion and leap raw rice in three tablespoons butter. Add V2 tsp. salt and 3 cups chicken broth or stock. Cover and cook until liquid is absorbed. Add 92 cup grated cheese and V; cup minced ham on

Then there were the hens to inspect. a spotty calf to visit flowers bloom- ing in the window. cookies to sample and oh! so many other things, a grandmothers house al- ways aeems to provide - Mavis said as she knelt at my knee to night. ”I'm going to say a special ly good prayer for Bon and Ampy that they'll be there till I grow up big as the boys. anyway." And we silently added our prayer that her wish might be granted. And now--

Shipping Record I Made Attsouris

..'The M. V. Floiald II, 06 registered tons. docked at Souris at 5 p.m. Saturday evening from Amherst. Mag- dalen Islands. under'the com- mand of Captain Ernest Corm- ier and carrying a crew of four. The ship tied up at the breakwater. and will begin loading operations today. tak- mg! on a cargo of vegetables, potatoes and eggs. The ship will return to Amherst when loading has been completed.

The arrival of the Flojald constitutes a record for Souris, with a ship or ships docking at Souris every month for the past twelve months. It is also worthy of note that ships could also have docked in Souris last winter. and did so up to the month of February when a ship could have docked but mine did so. This is an extra- ordinary condition at Souris. and should it continue. and every indication is that it will so continue. then it may well be expected that Souris will alsolbecome a winter port of considerable importance not only to Eastern King's County but to the Province as a whole.

Summerville And Murray River Win

'A packed house at the Mon- tague rink Saturday night was treated to real home-town hockey when the Summcrville Beavers blanked Murray Harbour North 5-0 and Murray River defeated the Bison Bombers 5-l. Although the ice was slow. the games were played at a strong pace keeping the crowd tense with some very exciting close plays.

In the first game between Sum- merville and Murray Harbour North scoring for the winners were Fraser (2i. Cain (2., and MacDonald a singleton. In the Murray River-Bomber game, scoring for the winners were G. White (4). and A. White a singleton. C. Stewart scored the lone tally for the locals.
