Nearly all are due to carelessness and too often they are caused by drunken drivers. 50 that today Prince Edward Island is listed as having more motor traffic accidents per captta than any Province in Canada.

Surely this deplorable condition must challenge the most. serious consideration of our people and their servant, the Provincial Gov- ernment.

The whole encampment wnslstlng of the police patrol, the Indians and the Colonel's party and including the missions ,1 had to move several hundred miles before winter would close them in. Each party had its own equip- ment. of boats. slerl.s,,doas. tents. harness, atc., etc. Before breaking camp. however. it was necessary that a supply of fish be secured for men and dogs to enable them to safely embark on their journey; as well as to winter comfortably at their base quarters. All activities of mpplnc. surveylflk and mapplns were suspended in good time to en- able the men to lay in the needed supply. Day after day the boots went out only to return without. any fish.

WHAT TO DO WHEN rue HEARING BEGINS T0 FAIL when the hearing begins to fall it is only natural that we should think that it is due to a p|l5Slllg or temporary condition such as a cold in the head, to cerumen or wax in the outer ear, or some other slmpld cause. Now a cold in the head and w in the ear can lessen the degree 0 hearing but when the cold has passed, or the wax removed and the hearing is sttll poor. our nm thought should not be to seek some "cure" for deafness but to so to a good our specialist and and out just why we are becoming "hard of hearing." Just as the cause of poor eyesight is not due to any one cause, so also poor hearing )5 not due to one cause. Dr. Samuel J. Kopetaky, profess- or of ear diseases, New York Poly- cllnfc Medical ‘ l and Hospital, outlines In Hyzela the various zypes of deafness. "There is a certain type of deaf- ness which is inherited; it runs in families and often starts from an acute sickness. some types of deaf- ness are due to lack of lime in the system which affects the little bones in the middle car which conduct sound from outer to inner ear. some types are due to damlwe to the nerve which conducts the sound from the inner ear to the brain H-he a ustlc nerve), which is etoher partly or completely destroyed. There are other types where infec- tion has settled In the middle ear leaving scar tissue which lnwrlem with transferring sound from the outer to the inner car. And last, there is deafnm due to repeated colds and other infections in the nose, the sinuses, the throat or the little tube which carries air from the throat to the middle ear to keep the ear drum tense on both sides. This type has been called the catarrhal form of deafness and ll due to the thickening of the llnlnl of the middle ear." It then deafness may be due to my one or more of the above can- dltlons you can readily see that treatment to relleve deafness will vary according to the cause W1 that no one ‘‘cure'’ is possible for all cases. If the our specialist advises thfl no treatment or operation can help the hearing, then Dr. Kopetaky 88!! that here is some help In the use of nrtlnctal hearing aids. Not onlyvdo they prevent further loss of hearing but "they help the wearer keen 8"" whatever decree of hearing he pou- asses, and by reeducatlng the nudi- tory nerve and its apparatus, they tend to improve what is left 0‘ hearing."
