PAGE TWENTY TF.SDAY, MAY 7th, Iode TECANADIAN RTATESMAN. BI~OMANMVT.ONTARIO Costs Big Money To Make Cheaper "Wonder" Drugs Ini 1942, world production of penicillin was just enough tc treat about 400 patients and the costs, needfiess to say, was ai- inost prohibitive. But withmn 10 years North Arnerican drug mianufacturers alone were turn- ing out enough penicillin each year to treat more than 550,- 000,000 persons and the cost of an average dose had dropped some 99 per cent. But to bring the cost down the pharmaceuti- cal industry had to spend an estimated $20,000,000 - a like amount was spent to make Salk vaccine available.-to find ways to mass produce penicillin so that it would be within the reach of millions of people at a reasonable price. Fantastic? Not to the phar- mnaceutical industry which takes in its stride the fact that millions of dollars and many years of research must be spent before a new drug is ready. And, contrary to a popularly held belief, today's "wonder drugs" have actually drastical- lW reduced the cost of being sick. Pneumonia is a classic ex- ample. A few years ago a serious case of pneumonia meant weeks in the hospital with, at the out- set, constant nursing attendance, and further weeks of convales- cence at home. The mortality 'rate was also extremely high. flefore the victim, if he surviv- ed, was back on his feet, the total cost, including medical iand hospital bis and loss of income, could easily have been at least $1,000. Cost Reduced Today, through the use of one of the many new wonder drugs, the pneumonia victim is back on bis feet within days and has returned to work within a cou- ple of weeks. The cost: no more, on the average, than $50 for the drugs and perhaps an- other couple of hundred for loss of wages, medical charges and other out-of-pocket expen- ses.

Stuart Gray and Elmore Scott, former reeves of the township, as well as George Finnie, Ed Ruthven and Noray Goheen were appoînted a dele- gation ta take the request to the council at its next meeting on May 1. The vote on the resolutioxi to request repeal was passed 111 to 0, with a few abstentions. Restrictive By-law Mr. Goheen read the by-law to the meeting, and Mr. Ruth- ven read a letter from a soli- citoi' explaining the effect of the by-law, which requires a registered plan o! sub-division or the consent o! the planning board before any parcel o! land under ton acres in size can be sold, givon away or leased for 21 years or more. Deputy-Reeve George Staplo- ton, pointed out that he could only speak for himsell and not1 for the council, said ho had voted for the by-law because it was the only planning legisia- tion available to the township1 ,at the time, and ho felt somei sort o! control over undosirable development was necessary. Has No Choice Mr. Stapleton said thero were features o! the by-law he did flot particularly like, but ho felt the township had no choice but to enact it. Mr. Finnie said the provisions of thc by-law were dictatorial and constituted an infringement o! the basic rights o! the indi- vidual. Ho questioned whether certain provisions could bo on- forced if a pipeline or hydro wires wero being installed. Cites Resuits, Bad Planning The Rev. G. W. Wright, o! Canton United Church, told the meeting o! the results o! bad planning ho had seen in many parts of Ontario, and urged the people to take a broad view o! the matter. Mr. Stapleton pointed out that a multiplication of small holdings in the township would be costly to the farmer in in- creased taxes for schools and services. Mr'. Scott suggested that re- presentatives of the meeting meet with the council and plan- MOTHER'S -INUPý- - M R OTELS RESTAU RANT FRUIT COCKTAIL CUP Roasi Young Tom Turkey - New England Cranberry Sauce flaked "Chef's Own" Virginia Ham - Pineapple Sauce Broiled Loin Cul Pork Chops - Green Applesauce Roasi Haif Spring Chicken - Crabapple Jelly Pan Fried Individual Rainbow Troul - Lemon Butter Assoried Cheese Tray ning board and try to draw up Mrs. Adam Sharp, were Sun,. the type of legisiation needed day tea guests of Mr'. and Mm', in the township, so that it could Iyva Sharp. be presented to the provincial Mi si- Sylvia Ryan, Mi' Jon governent for approval.
