. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1948 w THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE = 7 ers" PAGE Oleomargarine Ban Is Debated In Commons And Senat Flayed By Judge, Claxton Defends Orders On Drugs Ottawa, April 21 (CP)--- Defence Minister Claxton yes- terday defended his refusal three years ago to authorize a "colossal" morphine dosage to a first world war veteran. The question was raised in the Commons by John Dief- enbaker (PC-Lake Centre). which Mr, Justice E. R. Angers of ®- the Exchequer Court issued a warn- ing in connection with the mor- phine case. The judgment said official pow- ers, if not used, wisely, may lead to "dictatorial" government. In order- ing a cut in the morphine supplied to Paul Belleau of Montreal, Mr. Claxton, as Health Minister, had done something that was almost an act of law. This "is, or at least should be, outside the sphere of his jurisdic- tion," Mr. Justice Angers wrote. Mr. Diefenbaker asked whether, in view of the judgment, Mr. Clax- ton "will alter the order he made." Mr, Claxton, noting "it is three years since I had anythjng to do with the case," spoke froth memory to correct "some of the assump- tions he (Mr. Diefenbaker) appar- ently has for the basis of his ques- tion." Treated Since 1920 Mr. Belleau, suffering a disability resulting from tuberculosis, had been treated by the old pensions and health department since "some- thing in the 1920s." During the 1930s it had been found he was receiving "30 grains of morphine per day which, I am advised, made him the largest known addict of the 4,000 known addicts in Canada at that time." These dosages were received through prescriptions from Mr. Bel- leau's own doctors. Col. C. H. L. Sharman, Canadian delegate to the United Nations Nar- cotic Commission, who at the time was chief of the health depart- ment's narcotic division, had made investigations about "this huge quantity of morphine." "As I say, there is no known case of any doctor being allowed to pre- scribe such a dosage for an addict, at least so far as my information oes." Health department officers had co-operated with Mr, Belleau's doc- tors in working out a plan for his treatment and oure by a reduction of the dosage. Said Un-Cooperative "However, it was found on repeat- ed occasions that the man would not co-operate and still his doctors and those representing him wanted to obtain these huge doses." It had been decided that the 10- grains-a-day dose Mr. Belleau then was receiving should not be in- creased. y Mr. Claxton emphasized the deci- sion was based on the "circum- stances," on "events which took place long before I came into the department," and on the advice of "no less than six or seven doctors, most of whom I saw myself." Behind the decision had been the belief that if the dose was in- creased, "it would be confirming, the fact that this man was being given morphine by government per- mission just because he was an ad- dict and for no other reasons." "In those circumstances, I refus- ed to authorize that this morphine be given to this addict. When I say 'this morphine', I am referring to the colossal dosage. But we did co-operate with his own doctors and I think the dosage was gradu- ally reduced to something in the nature of four grains, which as far as I know he is still in receipt of."

His brother, Marcel, 27, and Donat Gareau, 32, both of Verner, suffer- ed shock and minor head injuries but did not require hospital treat. ment. It is not yet known whether an inquest will be held. Provincial Constatle Ralph Croz. ier of Sturgeon Falls said Gareau's automobile had a burned-out clutch and was being towed by the Gagnon brothers. The truck, owned by Mar- cel Gagnon and driven by Florian, was pulling the car southward on the road leading to Lavigne. C.P.R. officials at North Bay said the train was travelling at 35 miles an hour when it struck the chain between the two vehicles at a level crossing. The truck was dragged 69 feet by the engine and tossed into a ditch. Florian's body was' pinned under the cab wreckage and rescuers were unable to move him until a tow truck was obtained to raise the wreckage. Members of the train crew removed the injured men.

Miss Bourne was introduced to the club and guests by Kiwanian Donald Storie, a member of the Oshawa Hospital Board, who out- lined the speaker's career in the nursing profession and in, particu- lar, as it pertained to the Oshawa General Hospital and in sincef2 complimentary vein, related briefly the splendid job being done at the Oshawa Hospital by Miss Bourne, It was pointed out that she left the school teaching profession to take up nursing and after coming to Oshawa as assistant-superinten- dent in 1942, she had been made director of nursing at the local hospital in 1946 and in 1947 had taken over. the onerous responsibil- ities and duties of Superintendent of the Oshawa General Hospital and its staff of 260 employees, in- cluding office staff, nurses, main- tenance staff, etc. : At the conclusion of the" speak- er's remarks, spontaneous applause indicated the sincere appreciation, of the Kiwanians and this was also expressed verbally by Kiwanian Dr. "Bill" Blair. Building Understanding At the outset of her remarks, Miss Bourne congratulated the Ki- wanis Club. "We are proud of the fine, record of service your organi- zation has established and we are grateful for all of your unselfish ac- complishments "in the community. Your achievements have demon- strated that you are deeply inter- ested in every human need', she declared. Pointing out that she knew that Kiwanians are interested in know- ing something of the work accom- plished within the hospital and that they sympathize in the difficulties encountered there, Miss Bourne pointed out that it is only through loyalty and help that services in the hospital can progress to meet in- creasing demands. She also pointed out that the hos- pital js the proud possession of the people of the community and that they are entitled to be kept inform- ed, since they contribute to its sup- port. In her address she succeeded in admirable fashion in stimulating the interest of her audienc nd bringing out the fact that the hos- pital, with its professional atmos- phere, is not something set apart from the community but rather an integral part of the community. Her effort to build public understanding through knowledge of the work be- ing attempted and the problems in- volved, certainly as far a the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club is concerned, was thoroughly accomplished. Hospitals Relatively Modern Miss Bourne said, "Although the advent of Christianity endowed the healing art with a new meaning and sanctity, it was not until rela- tively modern times that we have acquired the tools and the means to minister to the community as a whole. At an eariier phase in the development of the hospital, it was a place where the sick and injured might have their disability cared for, The hospital stood alone, in an atmosphere of fear and mystery to the populace, It did not participate in any prevention programme. Now, all who take part in hospital acti- vities have come to realize the in- dividual part to be played. in co- cperation witta health authorities, to maintain and increase the effi- ciency of vitally important services. Address "We are eager to share our re- sponsibility and to have all our col- Teagues feel that they have a stake in the task of making the commun- ity hospital conscious. We remind you that apart from the direct work of healing, the hospital is a place where nurses, doctors, technicians and dietitians are trained, where all real progress in medicine, surgery and research is made and beyond all these practical considerations, we attempt to cajry on the work of awakening humdn sympathy and of developing social conscience. "I know that you are a group concerned with the health of the people in the community. You are to be commended on the excellent work carried out by your club in the splendid organization and es- tablishment of a clinic fer Chest X-ray examinations. It was no easy task to reach every person in the community and the whole populace became conscious of the need for this regualr procedure. "It is imperative that hospitals take effective action to control the spread of disease within their own institutions. Leaders in the field of medicine and public health empha- sizes the benefits of routine chest X-ray examination for every hos- pital and clinic admission, and for all personnel working there, as an effective means of reducing the in- cidence of tuberculosis to the low- est possible level. The establish- ment of this routine is an essential health service which a hospital can render to its community better than any other agency. Tuberculosis is a general problem and we believe that general hospitals must help solve it. Soon the majority of hospitals will adopt the routine procedure of X-ray examination of chest on all patients admitted. Any assistance, financial or otherwise, which your club may give will be deeply ap-| preciated, | A Trip Through Hospital ] "It might be of interest if we | could, in imagination, accompany a person who finds it necessary to enter the hospital. We are met by the nurse in the Admitting Office-- that office which is a medium be- tween the hospital and the 'out- side'. There you are impressed by the service rendered in this depart- ment and the manifold duties car- ried out. Through the Admitting Office, all hospital admissions are arranged, and though this seems like a simple procedure, it some- times involves, several teleplione calls. Every individual who is re- motely interested in the hospital should know the difficulty in mak- ing fair decisions, regarding the re- lative needs of applicants for avail- KIWANIS CLUB (Continued on Page 2) Tribute To Memory Of Rev. T.H.P. Anderson He will long be remembered by those who knew him in the chureh that he served so well and so faithfully to the very end. All classes of citizens unite in paying tribute to one whose character combined, in a remarkable man- ner, gentleness of spirit and rug- gedness of principle and who had the courage of his convictions, one whose principles were duty to hu- manity, A sense of duty pursued him to the end of his ministry, It was omnipresent like the Deity. With what earnest thought he gave to everything that concerned the present and eternal welfare of man -- what a tower of strength he was through his long and faithful ministry -- as he proclaimed the Gospel Message from the Sacred Desk. Back of that message was a great heart of love and good-will, with faith in God and in eternal justice. Mr. Anderson had that daring faith of Jeremiah, who brought the field of his native place though the whole land was. then over-run by a powerful foe. Confident that by God's blessing the cause of humanity would ulti- ametly prevail, he believed that a grain of faith was worth a thous- and words. That great host of friends who worshipped with him, will recall his message from the Sacred Desk, calling upon his peo- ple to put their hand in the hand of God and go forward to do and dare for the cause of Christ. In no man was individuality more pronounced than in Mr. An- derson. His motto, "Be yourself", seemed to have been the standard of his conduct and few were his equals in the fine flavor of his con- versation as he developed new and fascinating angles of thought, which stimulated (he minds of those who listened. No man had greater love and respect than he for the men and women who were faithful to their common task. He was always ready to help any good cause that would bring a better democracy a werld where the best and noblest would have a chance to flower. He would set aside the highest - honeurs, rather than feel in any way compromised in his own soul, He was always ready to get under the load that he felt was his duty fo carry. In all his long ministry, what lovesand real affection he bestowed upon the children of his people. They knew him as their friend and companion, at play and in school. His great heart of love overflowed as he told to them the Gospel Mes- sage and extorted them to have high ideals and to base these ideals upon the knowledge of the best that has been thought and said and done in the world, and to be tolerant of those who differ from you. And now these children, many of them young men and wo- men, love to think of him and how he influenced their lives for good. With what pride and real satis- faction he would tell of the early pioneers who fought a hard battle, with little comforts, to make a home for their family in this new country that was so promising to them, and how anxious they were to build the log church and school- house so that they and their chil- dren would not neglect the most precious things there are to be had in life, and in the making of this new country. How he loved to re- call many of their names who were loyal to fim in his ministry and labor of love among them as they worked together for the good of the early settler. He was a warm-hearted leader among his fellow-workers and ea- ger to see that justice was done-- a crusader in the cause that puts humanity first and the individual second -- and exiiorting his hearers tc be men upon whom the salva- tion of our civilization eust ulti- | mately depend. It was at his own | { home that Mr. Anderson was seen to bes! advantage and to it he gave the best he had. It was the wri- ter's privilege to know him as a neighbor and friend. Thus we say farewell, good friend of man, To the members of the ministerial profession, where "he was esteemed and respected for the quality of his work, to all who loved and honoured him, we extend oun Christian sympathy, Through the solemn gladness of our remem-=- brance comes the plea to pledge ourselves to the helping of others, that his place in our city and com- munity may not be wholly unfilled.

It is Senator Euler's third attempt--the same j measure was defeated in the Sen< ate last year and the year before.
