Walls Publisher Therm Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Brian Slaigbt General Manager MONDAY APRIL More Than One Reason For Physician Shortage Medical authorities in Britain are wor ried about the future supply of physic ians and the effect of shortage on the standards of medical care Not enough young doctors are graduating from the countrys medical schools there would be critical shorta in the United King dom now but for movement of doct ors to the UK from some parts of Eur ope and the Commonwealth and there has been steady movement of British doctors out of the UK to countries like Canada and the United States The main reason given for the depart ure of trained medical men and the ap parent increasing reluctance of students to enter the medical profession is the dis like of both the doctors and the potential medical students for the British national health scheme Certainly most of the doc tors who have come to Canada from Bri tain have been outspoke in their crit icism of the health scheme and its effect on the practice of medicine in the UK But granting the validity of this rea son there must also be other reasons Canada has not been producing enough doctors for its growing population dur ing the postwar years we have retained reasonable ratio of doctors to populat ion only by immigration the arrival here Of doctors principally from Britain committee of the Canadian Medical Association has urged the establishment of more training facilities and cam paign to induce promising students to take up medicine Yet we do not have fullblown national health scheme in Can ada It might be argued that the prospects of Canadian scheme are enough to dis courage young men and women from pursuing career in medicine It does nt sound reasonable but even if we acknowledge the argument it does not explain why similar situation is develop ing in the United States The American Medical Association says that there is no shortage of doc tors in the United States but the us Department of Health and Welfare says that the shortage of physicians is our most critical health problem We suggest that the cost of medical education and the length of time it takes for young doctor to begin to get any adequate return for the money spent are the mainfactors in the Canadian and US situations If there is to be great campaign for more and bigger medical schools and the students to fill them we must be prepared to spend more money on both schools and students particularly if we intend the physicians tobe to work within national health scheme Parliament Hill MP An ingenious suggestion has been made by Frank McGee Conservative member of YorkScarborough to remove one big objection to the provision of permanent Speaker of the House of Com mons He proposes that new constit uency be created the constituency of Parliament Hill the constituents of which presumably would be members of Parliament The Speaker would repre sent this riding The House of Commons would be bet ter off with permanent Speaker The House is indeed fortunate when it gets new Speaker who has substantial know ledge of parliamentary rules and pro cedures and the wit and toughness to apply them Unfortunately this does not often happen and in most cases the Speaker acquires full mastery of his job only towards the end of his term in of fice One could hardly expect it to be otherwise because the job is an intricate and difficult one calling for high qual ities of judgment intellect and courage as well as profound knowledge of pro cedure Speaker may take over the job with all these qualities but still need lengthy experience to bring them togeth er for effective control of debate The British system is to have perm anent Speaker who generally is elected by acclamation That means he does not have to electioneer but it also means that many voters in his constituency are thus disenfranchised The political part ies in Canada have shown no inclination to accord any candidate such an accla mation Mr Diefenbaker made gesture towards the idea of permanent Speak er in 1957 but has not repeated it Mr McGeess suggestion seems to pro vide way out of the difficulty of disen franchised voters The Speaker would be members member We think the idea is worth pursuing Down Memory Lane 70 YEARS AGO TOWN 8r COUNTRY Barrie Northern Advance April 14

sport of kings and its various habiliments including the animals that are the main actors have had more than their usual day in court First of all of course there was talk of legalized betting But then there was one want deriul evening when NDP leader Donald MacDonald re lated at length the incredible details of how you start race track in Ontario Mr MacDonaldoa you may have read told the House how the new Rideau harness track to go into operation near 0t tawa had secured the franchises to get its racing dates To get these dates you must have charters And as there have been no charters issued in Ontario since 1912 digging one out can be fine adventure in detective work PROMOTE LUCKY In the case of the Rideau track the premiers were luck ier than most ln that they had the services of solicitor who had recently worked in the of fice of the provincial secretary All companies are registered in this office so he knew where there were some charters lying around Their task then was only to get control of them and to get the government to reactivate them The devious details of how this was accomplished wont be repeated here It involved get ting some very elderly gentle men in Grimsby to hold special meetings and filing papers to the secretarys office after brief lull of 60 years Sufficeth it was done And also that nobody was particu larly shocked hero Racing hm such back ground of

bending to pick things up This last omild account for the dizzi ness If you have to bend over the board or stretch to reach it you are wasting energy and hence putting needless bur den on the heart The same is true if you stand up when you might better sit or if you walk across the room every time you have finished ironing garment to hang it at it too long up All wasted effort Make your head save your heels Have table beside the board for finished ironing Dont run back and forth Place the things to be ironed all in one pile or basket on bench or chair so you can reach them without bending

think an average of $150 to 8170 week for rent is reas sonable charge The average rent for council house in Scot land ls somewhere between these two figures He points out that policy of keeping rents artificially low is unfair to taxpayers with low incomes who do uotlive in council hous es Some councils have already actcd and increased rents Mr lilaclny is now showing that he means what he says The county council of lumbar ton shire decided not to increas rents for the present but to re consider the position in October Mr Maclay has bluntly refused to allow the council to extend the present rants until then lid hss issued an order to the ef fect that the present rents must not be continued beyond May 15 but must be increased after that date This indication that the nunister is going to be tough on this rent question is likely to influence many other councils to fall in line with his VIEWS days If the things you use of ten are near at hand you neednt stoop nor stretch to reach them
