kl the acton free pre5s thursday february 1st lksl who is most capabu dominion ncf provincial gowmntohta ro hinting on various sources- of raising funds to meet the ever increasing demands on public pending the difficulty comes in the fact that once a new ta is esta to meet an emer gency it invariably remains in force for example fake the tale and gasoline taxes which were wartime innovations to meet an emergency but have remained and been increased as a moans to bolster the spending by governments one may always argue whether government spend tng is carefully administered the fact remains that all these taxes and levies contribute to the higher cost otllving and lower the amount earned and controlled by the individual it is said that iri terms of 1938 prices our present dollar is worth 58c it woud be in teresting to note ust how much of tho 42c shrinkage has been caused by government lev les speaking of old age pensions prime minister st laurent is quoted as saying the people seom to want it the samccply is applicable to most public demands and it might be well if the people would analyze their wants in the light of their ability to pay these are days of making up government budgets do you want lamat higher niiyniu1hmk gnvprnmentsnatc better ablo to administer your wages and spend- tngthtm y ere national health week as nations go canada can be considered to be a comparatively healthy nation wilh excellent health departments supported by all level of- govemment federal provincial and municipal- doing good obs these departments spend mil lions to prevent disease and to care for those suf ferlng from various illnesses thep there are tho voluntary associations mostly educational in their scope which spend time effort and money to keep the people in formed however much of this monoy and effort is wasted because of ignorance and apathy on the part of the general public with many persons either too lazy or too careless to do anything about maintaining or improving their own or their community s health conditions much illness is preventable- illness which causes human and economic waste but such ail ments continue to take toll dipthena and whooping cough are preventable yet there are still deaths from both early diagnosis wpuld save much suffering and many lives in the cases cl tuberculosis and cancer yet there are suffer ers who fail to take the necessary early precau tions j proper eating a balanced diet is one way to good health that is why an event like national healtn week the seventh observance of whith is scheduled for february 4th to 10th is important this week is purely a health education proect ponsored by the nation s leading voluntary health education association health league of canada in co operation with health and educa tion authorities throughout the nation it is de signed to emphasize the facts about health and disease in an effort to create a lasting under standing in the public mind it is true that every weekihould be a health week but it s obviously imposs ble to wage ruch an all out public ty tffort in favor ol health every week so such a cinpagn his to bt con fined to one week a mr drinking driver problem creator light on the prolijtm of the drink nq driver has been shed n l report bsuih by h d aichbild director ol rese lich of 1he liquor control board of ontario and dr ward sm th of the un versity of toronto s department of phar macology based on nformat on obt ned it the first internation il conference oi alcohol ild tiaffie field at stockholm this sunimtr and research work carried on by mr arch bald and dr smith the report states that the problem of the drinking driver isgreater than official statistics indicate the opinion that the drinking driver problem is greater than indicated by official figures is borne oul by a survey conducted in toronto by dr smith in cooperation with the police depart ment and financed by federal authorities although some official stahshes say only one per cent of ontario accidents involve intoxicated drivers the data supplied in the toronto survey hows that twenty three per cent of the group tested over 900 involved in traffic accidents had more than a trace of alcohol in thprrblood it was also established that the proportion of drivers who were in a large degree ratponiibta for their accidents was much greater in the group of drinking drivers present and future so often these days we see tho okpression long term planning or long view planning and it sfeoms to hvo roplacocfthal olhef school which talked in torms of fivo and ten ybar plans it is well to look ahead and plan for thajuture it has always boon tho thought of man but in those days of so many interferences in plans we wonder if our future planning is not being over clone if we of this present generation make all the plans for those who follow will wo with our present knowledge make workablo plans for a long term have we the nght- to endeavor 1o- make long 1orm plans there is tho thought too that if all our of forts arc concentrated on the futuro we may lose much of tho good and happiness of tho pre sent there aro plenty of problems that require a solution today that is tho duty of tho present generation if the problems of our day are solv ed perhaps the future will have a bettor plan we of today are certainly making light of many of the plans that were made for us to follow and seeking ways to avoid many of the acts of our forefathers set out forour guidance will our long term plans of today be as stable let s not neglect our works of the present in inr tripr lqr ytn another twenty years just sit back and relax for a little while the world is getting somewhere 4fter all life expoctaricythc federal health department has announced is up 20 years there doesn t seem to be nearly enough time these days to do a fraction of all that appears to be on life s agenda as well as the routine work there s the things wed like to do and learn the places wed like to go and so on the wistful line of thinking that all we need is more time is j cheered considerably by the thought that almost ell of us can count on having 20 more years to do those thirtgs in than we would have had if we were bprn so years ago public health authorities note that as well as the increase in life expectancy the general death rate has been reduced about a third in canada during the last half century definite progress in medical science is coupled with a spreading personal concern for health just last week il was announced that the halton county health unit is again expanding its services to include a child health centre at bronte continual small ad vances like this one boost health standards slowly but surely education has reduced the death rate from cancer and tuberculosis the infant mortality rate has been cut 50 per cent in the twentieth century and the maternal mortality rate 60 per cent the statistics are certamiy encouraging until our thoughts revert back to the first thing that struck us when we read of the increased life expectancy we thought we should have 20 more years to get caught up on ourselves there must be something wrong with either the government statistics or our figuring be cause it s certainly not true is it well at least you wont be troubled with the sew er back1ho w into the basement the
