Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 8 ; (1) 3 4 FEBRUARY, 1948 THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1948 Strong Indictment In a statement released recently the International Order of Good Templars points to the great increase in the liquor trade in recent years and urges that something should be done to curb it by thought and action directed toward its curtailment. It is pointed out that $200,000,000 was spent for liquor in Ontario in 1947, which was approximately double the en- tire cost of the government of the province. The consumption of liquor has increased by 130 per cent. in the last 10 years while the population has only increased by 11.2 per cent. Convictions for drunkenness in the period from 1936 to 1946 | have jumped from 13,049 to 29 ,698. "On our highways," the statement contiffues, "Ydrinking drivers have killed thousands and injured tens of thousands | in the past 10 years. According to the estimate of Professor | Joslyn Rogers, in 429% of highway accidents, drinking is a prime factor. In industry also, this increased drinking is responsible for accidents, absenteeism and inefficiency, slow- ing down production. Crime of all kinds has increased. Sum- mary convictions, other than breaches of traffic regulations, increased in ten years from 42,291 to 82,775; indictable . This epi- By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Enroute Edmonton, April 1--Ever hear of "B.C.G.?" It is a vaccine, used against tuberculosis. Some say it's a miracle drug and some say it's unproved. The use of the vaccine in Cana. da is creating a story of internat.' ional significance in the field of public health. Last year approxi. mately 1,000 Indians, Quebec and Saskatchewan were vaccinated with B.C.G. as a protec. tion against tuberculosis. The results? In some cases won. derful. And despite adverse criti. cism by some medical men abroad there is every intention to contin. ue to expand the investigation of B.C.G. vaccination in Canada. For the past 15 years an active program of B.C.G. vaccination has been carried out in Saskatchewan under the direction of Dr. R. B. Ferguson, director of medical ser. vices for the Saskatchewan Anti. tuberculosis League, and with the co-operation of Dr. A. B. Simes, re. gional medical superintendent of Indian Health Services. During that period many. thousands of Indians hdave been protected against "the white plague." The work was ex. tended to the Indians of Quebec on a large scale last year, and within the past few months a number of vaccinations have been undertaken in British Columbia, Alberta 'and Manitoba. B.C.G. is a vaccine developed in 1908 by two French scientists, Cal. | mette and Guerin. After 13 years of experimentation it was first tried |on a human being in 1921. In Can. ada pioneering work with it was" | done by Dr. Armand Frappier, di- rector of the Institute of Miero. | biology and Hygiene of the Univer. sity of Montreal), who prepared the vaccine used in the earliest Canad. ian tests. From 1933 to 1938 a systematic program of protection of Indian children was carried out in the Qu"Appelle district of Saskatchew- an by Doctors Ferguson and Simes working in co.operation with the National Research Council. The In. dian children were not removed chiefly in| iors McBrady, Mitchell, Glidden and | | from the infectious environment of | their homes on the reserves follow. | ing vaccination. Nonetheless, the death rate among the vaccinated infants fell so considerably that at tomizes some of the more obvious results of the operation of Ontario's so-called "Liquor Control" system, These, how- ever, are the least serious. "Immensely more important is the deterioration in the quality of humanity, Witness many sordid cases that have occurred recently -- A wife shoots her husband Mr attempt- ing to violate his own daughter--A drunken man brutally murders his wife and children--Neglected children are | burned to death while the parents frequent beverage rooms. "Standards of living of Ontario citizens have been re- duced physically and morally, in a way that is detrimental to | beneficient business, as well as degrading to social and fam- ily life. On top of all this, we see an unseemly scramble by the liquor interests to secure further sales outlets, Factory Neurosis (Tip Topics) In a recent British survey of factory workers, 307 examined were found to be handicapped by some form of neurosis. Other industrial and non-industrial surveys support this figure as being an average for most major industries. We may therefore assume that no great variation would appear in Canadian industry. There is little doubt in the minds of the experts that this form of nervous trouble is a major factor in determining production efficiency. Absenteeifm is only partly responsible for reductions in quality and quantity output. Skilled and unskilled workers appear to be affected in equal proportion. Foremen or workers show no marked difference «in their resistance to neurosis, which has its origin in the process of personality developmerit. Within certain limits, nervous steal can be "controlled by the elimination of any unnecessary causes. This is, how- ever, only prevention. It is not the cure. Effective job place- ment, careful choice of supervisory staff, relief wherever possible from undue, monotony -- these are some of the factors which contribute towards elimination of factory neurosis. For job placement.to be truly successful, industry must tailor its jobs to fit the physical and psychological needs of the worker, Mueh of the monotony in modern industry has been removed by the use of highly specialized machinery and | equipment. Little attention has been paid, however, to mak- .Ing these machines satisfying, so that the particular job they cover will not be disliked by the operator. Long periods of close attention to monotonous detail, heavy concentration, and a steady round of boring work all contriblite materially to the aggravation of the nervous system. The wider the scope given to promoting initiative and interest in any par- ticular job or operation, the less possibility exists of an ultimate breakdown on the part of the employee. Industry has still a long way to go to cure' the many factors which give rise to neurotic conditions in the em- ployee. But larger strides in this direction have been made since the end of the last war than at any time during the previous decade. the end of the five-year trial period, it was approximately one.quarter that of the unvaccinated. Since then vaccination with B.C. G. has been a regular part of the | Indian health program in Saskat. chewan, Extensive studies also sup. |' porting "the value of B.C.G. have | been carried out by Dr. Ferguson among gmployees of Saskatchewan's sanatoria and hospitals. Ja July, 1946, at the request of . P. E. Moore, director of Indian Health Services, Dr. Frappier made a survey of the possibilities of in- troducing B.C.G. vaccination gmong the nomadic Indians of northern Quebec. As a result of this investi. gation, Dr. Roland Guy, assistant chief in charge of B.C.G. research at the Montreal Institute, was sent to Mistassini in northern Quebec during the summer of 1947. There he vageinated "approximately 170 my Later a nurse, especially trained in B.C.G. vaccination at the institute, continued the work of the Indian reserves at Manouan and Opidjouan, Dr. Guy later spent some time at Waswanapi studying the results of a few test vaccina. tions made the previous year by Dr. Frappier. Most recent B.C.G. work in Quebec has been done at foe Oke reserve. The value of B.C.G. in prevention of tuberculosis is still a point of controversy among medical re. searchers. Some contend that the documentary evidence in favor of the vaccine is not sufficient to prove without a doubt that in a civilized population, it has any pro. tective effect at gall. However, re. cent investigations in Sweden, Den. mark and elsewhere have convin. ced physicians that no study has yet been made among children in which the vaccine has been proven entirely ineffective, A Swedish doctor, Lancet, deplores writing in the exaggerated claims made for B.C.G., and points out that at best it may protect "against the immediate consequen- ces of virulent infection and dim. inish the incidence of primary and early postprimary tuberculosis," As tuberculosis in children is principally primary, B.C.G. has great potential value among chil dren and to a lesser extent among adults, B.C.G.. should not be used = persons who are tuberculin.po. ve, ® 30 Years Ago Oshawa Customs collections for the fiscal year Sadie March 31, totalled over $3,750,000.
