c f i i wv w v page two the acton f ree f ress acton iontario thursbay june 23rd 1955- not a cureall many of us car remember when folks who were treated in hospitals had to be critically ill thetwbmrt pr ho5p was less costly even if ftiore inconvenient to have home treatment matter of fact it was quite an undertaking to get a patient transported to the hospitals which were all in the cities that was before the motor age and fhe screeching sirens of course j but hospital beds and nursing dare were in those days readily available for sick folk you didnt need to wait weeks for a hospital bed it was almost as prompt as next in the barber shops- we were intrigued by reading in napier moores scratch pactcctlumn this week of some of the things he has been learning about the health service in england for those who con sider a national health service the answer to all the ills to which human beings are prone we quote a couple of paragraphs we had a chat with an english working man about the british health seryiec his wife is suffering from a leg so badly ulcerated that last october amputation was recommend ed other medical advisers said that with proper h cure the limb might be save itt novetfnber application was made for a hospital bed up to june 6 no bed had been i obtained we talked with a hardworking country- town doctor about the health service he said a woman patient of his was desperately in need of an operation requiring great skill in november he approached a surgeon friend of his- a specialist in such operations who as a personal favor promised to do the job as soon as a hospital bed could be found after seven months a bed was found but up to now the surgeon hasnt fulfilled his promise the doc tor tackled him the other day the surgeon said look ive spent the whole morning fit ting 10 fat women with free corsets i have to do it under the health scheme regulations im away behind on operations the doctor asked how long he th it would be before he could do the job he had promised to do the surgeon said at this rate two years from now there were more observations made by mr moore in his financial post column that were worthy of thought they might well be read by those who believe a slate controlled national health service is the answer to all our ills hu mans are not like machines to be assembly line repaired and serviced their need can best be judged by doctors and trained assistants rather than dictated by inflexible rules laid down by governments two is sufficient it seems to be generally conceded that ontario would have been better off during the next four privileges for all newcomers to acton and many from put-of- tovyn have found that the natural facilities offered jind prlvately owned breez across the water compare most favorably with those that require a great deal of travel tp reach on a weekend every holiday and weekend these spots are crowded with picnickers or folks out for a short trip from the cities if they areto be kept enjicing to the public the task of keeping them in good condition is largely up to- those wko use these facilities the scatter ing of bottles and litter do not make any spot attractive the abuse or misuse of equipment put there for the enjoyment of all cannot be toler- ated these spots are appreciated ancbttsed rlghtly by most folks and it is only thoughtless minority who make them objectionable there isorily one course to pursue those who cannot conduct themselves properly in public must be denied the privileges that are available around acton and its fairy lake for the love of it if oner ttkes to do home g as a hobby baptist church mr easter has aul family ear4ftrongetlj6erar opposition group had i to the legislature mr rrost has more strength than he requires or can use and with eight to one it would seem that many duly elected representatives will not find it necessary to give very strict attention to the duties for which they have been chosen by the people for the weakness of the opposition in the legislature it would seem third parties and par- ticularly the ccf are to blame many of these candidates were put in the field without a chance of winning one thing has been demonstrated that third parties are on the wane in ontario the ccf has beensupping steadily in percentage of popular vote do from 27 in 1948 to 17 in 3955 put more significantly it has dropped in total vote too in the 1948 election in ontario almost half a million votes went to ccf candi dates in 1951 the total vyas less than 350000 end in this years voting it was down to well under 300000 that would surely be sufficient enough evidence at any time but this decline has taken place at a period when the total popu lation of the province was forging ahead ahd particularly in urban and industrial areas where the ccf is supposed to have a hold the sooner we get back to two parties in our political affairs the better government we can expect there isf room for all people and all opinions in either the conservative 6r liberal ranks this is applicable not only in provincial affairs but in our dominion parliament as well those complaints about the cold weather are now being replaced by comments about the heat one thing about canada we can always criticize the weather with such a variety just for the pleasure of planting combating of weeds and bugs and digging for fish worms and turning them under we think its a very old and noble pastime but the home garden as a source of replenishment for the family table went out when the movies came in to occupy the evenings and have been followed by a multitude of other distractions new potatoes that were so welcome in july in 1900 have been available in the stores for weeks in 1955 the radishes you buy have a reasonable assurance of being not half worm- eaten nearly eve t used to be so w come from the home garden in june has been available inthefruit stores all winter long with the home freezers now available if one wished every product of the home garden would be now found right in the home there are still many folks who like to grow their 6wn but we wonder if that group is not diminishing we do have longer daylight hours short work weeks and more leisure but the trend is not to spend it in the home garden not debate whether the trend is good or bad but it does seem that like everything else gardening is being done by the specialists rather than the amateurs just as in sports our amateursare dis appearing rtoto by esther taylor summertime sunshine is just fine for youngsters and that goes for
