OTTAWA. -- With $1,000,000 at its disposal the Dominlon Government in conjunction with the Provinces will this year tackle the problem of un- employment youth, Labor Minister Rogers told louse of Tommons ¥ri- day. As the House approved the appro- priation the Minister sald he could not outline in detail how the money would be used, but an effort would be made to train young men for varl- ous trades in which there was a pros- pect of their finding employment. "I do not suggest this is any more than an approach to the larger prob- lem," said the Minister. "IT think there is no feature of tho general an- employment problom which chal- lenges attention 'more than that of unemployment among the youth." So far as possible in its training program the Government would seek to use existing agencies, technical schools and other facilities instead of setting up new machinery. It was not proposed to camps such as the C.C.C. the United States, except so far as camps might be necessary in con- nection with forestry or mining work, APPOINTMENT ATTACKED Some unemployed youth would be trained for the. building trades, the Minister sald. Although the building industry has suffered perhaps more from the depression than any other there was a danger of a real short. age of skilled workers in those trades in the future. Answering a question, he said the Government proposed to consult with trade unfons regarding .-the appren- tloeship of young mefi to skilled trades. establish camps in _Hedénan _ ture wherein he served fol six years. $300 Millons On Sickness in Canada Annual Bill -- Preventive Meas- ures Would Cut Bill In Half TORONTO. -- Three hundred and eleven millions is the annual bill for siokness in Canada, If the preventive measures against disease were fully" utilized this bill would be cut fa half, The lethargy of the public operates to prevent the full use of the vagcines, the anti-toting, the toxides and. the sanitary measures which thwart dis- ease. If there were a sure preventive remedy for cancer announced tomor- morrow, it' would be dificult to in- duce tho public to use it. Dr, Victor Helser, Phillippines for 1? years, vaccinated in that period 12 million persons nzainst sm¥lpox with the result that the annual 40,000 deaths from that malady were cut to nothing, found public education his greatest ally, How did he manage it? By education of the Philipinos as ta its value. Once the people of the islands became con- vinced of the value of smallpox vac- cination, they clamored for it. How may illness be prevented? By improving the health machinery of Dominion, Province and Municipali- ty; by inducing these -organlzations to make common cause against a powerful national foe; by the instruc. tion of the members of legislative bodies of the economical. value of dis- ease prevention and by similarly con- vincing the mass of the public that fn the main it is not necessary to lie down-in the fact of any disease. Forty years ago there were 1200 _ deaths a year from diphtheria in On- tario alone. By the judicious use of diphtheria antitoxin, by a similar use of diphtheria toxoid, and by a studied campaign of education, the total deaths in 1934 from this malady were brt 40 in Ontario and 232 in a'l Can- ada. "In Toronto 'in 1220 there were 1022 cases of diphtheria of the City, no deatlks from diphtheria, There is a similar story in most of Canadian communities in respoet to this mal- adv, If, as the foregoing shows, the in- cidence of illness and its mortality can be shown to be lessened by pre- ventive measures, the value of the latter as an cconomic meastre is proven, Send Heenan To Coronation Minister of Lands Will- Be Cob- inet's Official Reprezen:ative TORONTO. --- Premier Hepburn an- nounced last week that Hon.
