COLBORNE CHROTOCLE Thursday, November 11th, 1965 Careers Plus For many, the fatt that they have made a success of their chesen careers is not sufficient. These are the people who reach out to help others or, as in some instances, to enrich their own lives by developing latent talents. ' 1 Last fall a 13-year-old Greek girl was able to enter High School because of the thought-fulness of 60 Canadian National office employees in Saskatoon. The news of their generosity has been in my files for several months. It was added to a collection of items about employee endeavors. I had been building through personal contacts, or that thing called human communication which exists in every organization. The personalities and these office workers I have chosen to write about appeal to me as outsttandjing ^olumn material and the kind of human interest story columnists love to unearth for readers to relish. Dark-haired Ourania Dede, who lives in a mountainous village in central Greece, had resigned herself to forfeiting a secondary school education because her destitute family could not provide the necessary funds. Employees in the CN Saskatchewan Area offices, however, agreed to increase their contribution to the Foster Parents' Plan, making sure that their "adopted daughter" would be able to continue her schooling. From their initial payment of $16.00 towards the girl's upkeep, these employees now pay $28.00 per month. The original payment provided her with food, clothing and medical care. This additional amount will ensure education for her of which she would have been deprived. Such examples of thoughtful generosity are typical of many CN employees across the System. The Foster Parents Plan, relief committees and other fund-raising institutions have drawn ^willing assistance from all rahks of railway employees. / Surprise Award /1 would like to have seen the expression on the face of Joe Lamarche, a CN pipefitter in khe Transcona car shops in Winnipeg, when he was surprised with the award of "Youth's Best Friend" by co-sponsors, the local Hadassah-Wize Council and station CJAY .TV. Joe's wife said he was 'stunned' when informed he had been selected as Winnipeg's champion youth worker out of hundreds nominated by youngsters around the city. What did Joe do to merit this award? Thirteen years age he became sports director of his neighbourhood community club devoUng many evenings to the direction of the hockey pro- In 1959, and several years after, he took a team to Goder-ich, Ontario, to compete in annual national peewee hockey tournaments. Besides his hockey endeavors he gives swimming lessons and, in the summer, helps boys in a minor baseball league. This then is "Youth's Best Friend".

While he was convalescing he had time to indulge an artistic talent which dated back to depression years when he took a course in showcard and sign painting. Since then, painting has been more or less an avocation, his developing interest due to his accident. Recently he completed his first commissioned portrait in oils. This was destined for Ontario, but it is not the first sale of his pictures that Mr. Hebert has made. Collectors as far apart as Saint John, Vancouver and Chicago have purchased his work and he is very much in demand for his paintings of Atlantic Province landscapes. P.S.I. PUBLISHES DETAILED REPORT The most detailed report ever published on the nature and cost of physicians' services in modern soeiety was made public this week by Physicians' Services Incorporated. The 241-page report gives a total picture of services rendered during 1963 to a sample of 12% of P.S.I, participants in the comprehensive plan. The third in a series of special reports on P.S.I, experience in the field of prepaid medical care, it was prepared by Dr. W. Harding le Riche, head of the department of epidemiology and biometrics of the university of Toronto's school of hygiene; C. A. Bond, assistant-treasurer and head of the research and statistics department of P.S.I., and Dr. W. B. Stiver, medical director of P.S.I. Previous reports dealt with medical care in hospital only. This report, in an attempt to fill the vacuum that exists in data relating to the field of medical economics, approaches the subject from two directions -- services and cost. The report relates both services and costs to not only sick persons but also to the total population at risk. The numerous tables in the study prvide data according to age and sex on the average number of services rendered for each of 160 diagnostic groupings. Detailed information is also included on the distribution of the medical dollar among these same diagnoses, also by age and sex. A further interesting aspect of Special Report No. 3 is the ranking, by order of volume for various ages and each sex, of the 100 most common illnesses encountered by the 17-5,000 persons under study. Today's report showed an average of 5.3 services per participant during the year surveyed. The difference in utilization rate between males (4.7) and females (5.8) was attributed to the increased use of physicians' services by females during the reproductive period. Diseases of the respiratory system accounted for ^6("< of the total cost of medical ser-' vices. Diseases of the digestive system were the next most prevalent, at 11%. Deliveries and complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puer-perium accounted for 8% of the total cost, diseases of the genito-urinary system, 8% and diseases of the circulatory system, 6%. Special conditions and examinations without sickness represented more than 5%, and mental, psychoneurotic and personality disorders, almost 4%. Average cost per sick person per year came to $44.05. The cost for females was $31.33 during the first five years of life, reached a low of $24.48 between the ages of 10 and 14, rose to $63.23 during the peak reproduction period of 25-29. then levelled off until age 75 when a high of $68.08 was reached. For males, the cost of $36.12 during the first five years was not surpassed until age 35, when it hit $39.44 and rose steadily to a high of $76.88 at age 75. In a foreword to the report. Dr. J. O. Lockhart, President of P.S.I., says the data on physicians' services by age groups would be closely representative of the population if adjustments were made for the older age groups. The sample used was drawn xrom the working population rather than from those who are retired. Dr. Lockhart refers to the study as "a fascinating picture ■ of the progression of maladies |from birth to death/... as seen k by the composite /eye of the physician." / "There are variations in the picture of diseas/e in male and female, representing not merely the obvious differences in the reproductive function, but also indicating metabolic and biochemical div/ergencies which make for entirely different manifestation^ of disease in the two sexes, ^or instance, we think we kr.ow why there should be more services for malignant neoplasms of the bronchus and lung in the male, but why should there be more services for females in the category of infestious hepatitis?" Copies of the study have been provided to governments and other interested groups. It is not for sale.
