MENTAL PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED (Continued from Page 3) ¢ then England took up the work, Worcester, Mass, saw the first men- tal hospital in North America in the 1830's and the first institution in On- tario was established in Toronto in 1850. Just 100 years ago, he said, the first legislative grant for the care of the mentally deficient was made by the legislature of Upper Canada, but no institution was established until iz | 20 years later. The Whitby Hospital The Whitby hospital was. origin. ally built with the intention of super- seding the onc in Toronto, which was the original institution of its kind in Ontario. It was started in 1912, but before it was completed the war broke out and it was used as a military hospi- tal until 1920. By this time the num- ber of known mental cases in On- fario had grown so that both it and the Toronto' institution were needed in this district, and both were con- tinued. This hospital served the counties of York, Ontario, Durham, Northumberland, Victoria, Peterboro, and Haliburton, he said. Facilities werguprovided at cach Ontario hospital, he said, for the treatment of all types of mental dis- ease. The physical condition of the Patients was. also given pat ifeulas at- temition, for the meni ds ers were often directly resultant from physical disability, More than half of the were able to return to their homes and to their normal occupations after treatment, said Dr. Stevenson. Last year, 400 and 225 tion. There were 1,500 to 2,000 new cases developing évery 'year .in the province, and of these 90 per cent f were preventable, In order to carry on preventative work, the hospital authorities were endeavoring to se- cure facilities so that outpatient clinics, travelling clinics and other work could be carried on, and the public trained to practice mental hy- giene, The speaker was introduced by Ki- wanian Dr, A, E. Stewart, and presi- dent A. J. Parkhill of the club acted as chairman, NEEDY CHILDREN BENEFITED AT LAKE COTTAGE (Continued from Page 3) and still others possible victims of insidious diseases, is a wonderful contribution to the welfare of the city, Mrs. McKenna, the matron, is a real mother to the children, who have already learned to love her, and she watches over their play activities with a kindly and understanding eye. Children Entertained The children have, in the last few days, been given some special treats dy the result of the co-operation of organizations, They were guests at the annual picnic of the St. Gregory School, and were also given a pleas- dant outing on the grounds of the home of Mrs. Robson, under the aus- 'pices of the Cedardale Home and School Club. The appeal which was made a week ago for contributions towards the maintenance and operation of the Red Cross Cottage has brought forth some response, but not nearly suffi cient to meet the needs of the Red Cross Society, for its worth-while work. The first contribution to be Te- ceived this year was that of the Lend-A-Hand Society, which has for the last two or three years been help- ing in the work, and has sent a cheque for ten dolfars, Other cash contributions have also been receiv- ed, and, in addition, a number of contributions of goods which have helped wonderfully in supplying the needs of the children at the Cottage. Other contributions, however, are earnestly solicited, The Times is glad to sponsor this,worthy cause, and has thrown its: columns open for ack- nowledgment of the donations of those who are willing to help. Con- tributions will be received at The Times office or may be sent direct to Mrs. . George Hezzlewood, treas- urer of 'the Red Cross Society, and they will be acknowledged from time to time in the newspaper.

Vast In- crease in Toll of Life and Property Toronto: July 5.--A startling In- crease in fire's toll of life and property in Ontarfo during 1928 is noted in the annual report of E, P, Heaton, provincial fire marshal, which was made public over the week-end. Fire claimed 96 lives during the year, an increase of 80 per cent. over 1927, when 653 deaths thus were attribcted. In addition, 113 other persons were injured during 1928 as compared with 76 in 1927. Smoking is listed as the greatest excuse, having started 1,260, or 10 per cent. of the 1928 fires, Property loss increased by near- ly 30,000, being $12,169,885, as compared with $11,878,333 in 1927. The number of fires also rose, In 1928 there were 12,649 outbreaks, as compared with 11,- 506 in 1927, a difference of 1,143. Loss in Toronto totalled $2,395,- 642, an increase of approximate:y $175,000 over 1927. The number of fires in this city also showed an increase, being 3,800 compared with 3,454 in 1927, Windsqr Figures Low Figures for London, Ont., drop- ped decidedly, going from a total loss of $511,353 in 1927 uuwn to $127,964 in 1928, Hamilton also showed a decrease while the Wind- sor figures were up only slightly. Ottawa had an increase but its 1088 did not approach the 1926 level.in that city. Windsor's loss of $60,~ 3560 is declared low and presents, says the report, "a striking trib- ute to the efficiency of Chief de Fields and his brigade." Noting a large increase in the number of fires in dwellings throughout the province, Mr, Heat- on presents an interesting theory in explana , "The latge in crease in dwelling fires," he J "is due exclusively to a gro demand of claimants under fire In- surance policies for damages caus- ed by electrical appliances and for burnt patchés from cigarettes on chesterfields, chairs, carpets atu curtains, - We are getting more reports than ever before claims of from $1 to "$25. Bach, of course, is a potential fire and is therefore so recorded." Lightning and smoking are tne only causes of fire which are def- initely known to have shown a marked increase during the year, the report says, 'But once again," it continues, "we record with sat- isfagction the almost total immuni- ty of fires from lightning in prop- erties equipped with lightning rods." REPORT ISSUED ON TURNER VALLEY GAS Storage to Save Enormous Quantities Wasted Dealt With Ottawa, July 3--~The problem of storing and utilizing the great quan- tities of gas now wasted at the Turn- er Valley oil field is dealt with in an interim report published at the In- terior Department, A joint board of Dominion and Pro vincial experts has been looking into it and the investigations are to be carried much further. Two of the principal things to be done are to study the methods of storage and control in the United States, and to investigate the extent to which gas may be utilized as a base of chemical products. In the inquiry, Dr, Charles Camsell, and C. C, Ross, represented the Dominion Government and Dr, R. C. Wallace, and A, A, Carpenter, Alberta, Ihe Turner Valley field has been gone over and the producers have been heard. The work has been di- vided up among the experts, The use of gas in Calgary in winter is 10 times what it is in summer, but it is hoped to develop some plan of utiliz- ing the product in sunimer for chem- ical purposes so that the scasonal waste may be avoided. Meanwhile, the board, in its interim report, makes five recommendations: 1--An agreement for close co-op- eration in regulations between the Dominion and the provinces. 2--Additional regulations for drill- ing and operating gas and oil wells, 3--In drilling operations, the exer- cise of contro irrespective of owner- ship. 4--All well drilling above the lime- stone, to be properly encased and fit- ted with high pressure equipment, 5--A minimum area in opening op- crations of 40 acres.
