Page Six THE HAILEYBURIAN WEDNESDAY, DEC. 24th, 1941 All English Mothers Now ToBe Put On Diet Developed In Ontario Expert Has Eyes Opened by System at Hospital For Sick Children INFANT DEATHS CUT During his recent visit to Canada, Sir Wilson Jameson, chief medical officer of the British Ministry of Health, stated that immediately upon his retutn to England he would be putting all expectant mothers in Bri- tain on the diet which has been worked out by The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Sir Wilson said that he Lad learned much in the few days of his visit to Canada about "things which I hope to take back and put into immediate operation." "Here is one -xample of what I mean, having to do with the all-im- portant subject of nutrition, which will, I am confident, assist us to win the war. Work ha: been going on here, in which, by perfectly simple adjustments in the diet of expectant mothers, you have reducea what we have hitherto considered to be un- manageable deaths of infants under one month of age. "The work has been done here through your magnificent children's hospital. I'm going to put it into effect at home. I'm going to go back and do it at once. I'm sure that this extremely valuable work being done in Toronto will be of great help to us. We've done what we could but we didn't think of this." Some idea of the immense value and wide scope of the work of The Hospital for Sick Children may be formed by considering the fact that during the past year alone, over 9,000 sick and crippled children were given treatment in the Public Wards, while the Out-Patient Department handled over 73,000 visits from suffering little ones, Unlike most other hospitals, this great Institution has no large group of Private Ward beds from which to draw extra revenue which can be applied to Public Ward service. At present 414 of the 434 beds are in the Public Wards. In these Public Wards, over 80 doctors give their services without charge. The time donated free by this group of doctors, which includes many of Canada's leading child spe- cialists, has been estimated on a con- servative basis to be worth at least $200,000.00 per year, if fees were charged, Their skill, acquired through many years of active work with the most difficult typ~ of "prob- lem" cases, cannot be measured in dollars and cents--it is priceless. The Hospital for Sick Children is operated for but one main purpose-- to give the children of those in hum- ble circumstances the same chance for health and happiness as the chil- , dren of parents who can afford the full cost of hospital care and medical attention. And, to be effective, medical treat- ment and hospital care must be given at the time when it is most needed. There can be no second chance for many neglected children, Chronic disease, life-long disfigurement, de- formity made permanent, and DEATH--these are the undeserved penalties which neglect inflicts on such little ones. That is why, regardless of race, creed or financial circumstances, children from every part of Ontario are given medical and hospital treat- ment up to--and often beyond--the normal capacity of The Hospital for Sick Children. Operating costs are among the low- est in North America for institutions of similar type--so low that this Hos- pital's efficient operating method has been cited as an example on many occasions when hospitalization costs have been under discussion. In The Hospital for Sick Children less than five per cent. of the patients are in private wards. These are the only ones able to pay the full cost of their care. This means that 414 of the 434 beds are in Public Wards where the cost per patient is approxi- mately $1.25 per day more than the combined income from parents (or their municipalities) plus the Gov- ernment grant. That is why each year at Christmas time, the Hospital appeals to the char- ity of generous citizens and business firms for donations to meet its un- avoidable deficit. This year, over $92,000.00 must be raised. No help is received from the To- ronto Federation fr Community Ser- vice as patients are taken from all over the province. Gifts should be mailed to the Ap- peal Secretary, "he Hospital for Sick Children, 67 College street, Toronto. There is dire necessity behind this appe:! for help--little children de- pend on it for their chance for health, Hints On Fashions There was a time when navy blue was as definitely a sign of spring as the first violets. But navy is now high color the year 'round as evidenced by this very new winter dinner and dance frock. Navy blue velvet lends itself to this type of frock with its softly draped bodice and skirt gathered in front. The Household' Hints By MRS. MARY MORTON ee i - eee Here's a Suggestion: If you like tender steak but the old budget simply won't let you buy it, buy a beef heart, cut and cook in the manner suggested below.
