Here is what Gerald M. Knox, family health editor of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, wrote about asthâ€" ma in the March 1972 issue of that _ widely _ respected publication: â€" Things have changed and are changing even more rapidly than before. Much more is now known about asthma than was known even 10 years ago but, even now, ‘there is no medically accepted definition of what asthma really is. It is a pathological thing, a specific illness and â€" hearteningly â€" it can now be tackled ahead For as many years as most people can remember, asthâ€" ma has carried a kind of social stigma. It was an affliction which nice people never discussed. The asthma sufferer â€" with his wheezing and spluttering and patent inability to breathe normally â€" was akin to the chronic drunk _ or, _ more _ apâ€" propriately, the heavy smoker who â€" resolutely refused to quit smoking while dying on his feet. 1 Square deal The Consumers‘ Association of Canada recommends that bankruptcy facilities be available to needy conâ€" sumers without cost, that all types of small debtor financial problems be handled by one adâ€" ministrative agency only and that wage garnishments be strictly supervised by the courts. % Ecuadorians take the idea in good humor: It‘s popular, but in fact, every day here is Father‘s Day. Haiti ignores the day. So do Chileans, on the grounds that they love our parents all year long and In most places the obâ€" servance is not official but in the Dominican Republic it was Trujillo who made a public announcement in 1933 and it has been kept since. Other countries which celebrate the day are Honduras, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, Venzuela, Columbia and Panama. The Eskimos, on the other hand, have such closelyâ€"knit family ties it can be said they celebrate Father‘s Day and Mother‘s Day every day of their lives. Throughout much of South America where Spanish is the language,‘ Father‘s Day is called Dia del Padre. June is the favored month but in some places Father‘s Day comes ahead of Mother‘s Day. ~ In Canada, Father‘s Day is observed by some people who have nothing in their tradition equivalent to Father‘s Day but who have taken up the white man‘s ways.

Modern researchers at last are tracking down the chemical mechanisms in the body that cause the disorder in a vast majority of cases, and a revolution in the treatment of asthma is in the making. Within a few years it may be possible to prevent most asthma attacks from ocâ€" curring at all, and perhaps eventually even cure this debilitating disease in many ma itself is seldom fatal, repeated severe attacks may progressively diminish the victim‘s breathing capacity, leaving him the easy prey to other more dangerous lung conditions. them, each attack of asthma is a distressing and often alarming experience, a desperate battle for breath. Worst of all, many victims of asthma are children, even infants, who must go through the recurring nightmare of nearâ€"suffocating . attacks." The conference will exâ€" plore all approaches to the question of day care for children from infants to subâ€" teens. A select number of community leaders will take part and then prepare followâ€" up sessions within their own community. _ Resource leaders and audioâ€"visual material will be available for these subsequent seminars. "Because it is so often an allergic _ ailment, _ and because complex emotional factors are so frequently involved, many people assume that bronchial asthâ€" ma cannot really be a serious affliction. But over eight million victims of asthâ€" ma in this cag-try alone know otherwise. For many of ‘"Long recognized as a complex condition, asthma has primarily been treated with medicines that can give only temporary, sympâ€" tomatic relief: the basic causes of the disease have stubbornly eluded medical scientists.

Dr. Lord, who is regarded as one of Canada‘s foremost hydraulic and flood control engineers, will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the university. He will be the only person to be awarded this degree at the convocation. European: and _ Asian countries tend to look on Father‘s Day with a mixture The British regard the event as contrived com mercialism, ‘while going things, suffer Father‘s Day cards to be shown in shops but don‘t do anything about celebrating. In Italy the people celebrate the day much as here. They remark in a wry tone, however, that it has become like Christmas.
