Report From Westminister To Aid Hospital Building * Toronto, June "24 (CP). -- The federal government's new $30,000,000 health program should "raise greatly" the level of health services for rural Canada, Health Minister Martin said Wednesday. 'In the larger centres, he told the Canadian Medical Association, in a speech prepared for delivery, it "will stimulate retarded hospital con- struction and alleviate many acute shortages of hospital beds." The minister described those as two of the advantageous factors in a program that will "give a tre- mendous impetus to research, to preventive medicine, to the rapid expansion of hospital accommoda- tion and to better health services generally." Federal - provincial co - operation enabled Canada "to press on to- wards our ultimate goal--a positive state of good health for every Canadian." . Mr, Martin, outlining the three- fronted program for health survey grants, national health grants and hospital construction grants, said the $30,000,000 annual outlay equal- led federal health expenditures dur- ing the last 27 years. In most res- pects, on a per capita basis, Cana- da's health program "far exceeds that of the United States." On this basis, Canada would spend twice as much on hospital construction and nearly four times as much on public health. Cana- dian cancer grants were 14 times as large as those in the U.S, Terrace Bay Constable Home GLADYS YELLOWLEES > Correspondent 8olina, June 23--Mr. and Mrs. Or- val Jackson, Robert ang Murray, Brooklin, visited at Bruce Tinks.

To Inaugurate "All-Up" Mail Next Thursday As announced by the postmaster- general in the House of Commons recently, Canada Post Office will inaugurate on Dominion Day, July 1, the new system of "All-Up" mail service. Briefly this means that on and after that date all first class mail posted in Canada for delivery in Canada, and weighing one ounce or less will be transported by air when, by doing so, delivery to the addressee will be expedited. In effect, only mail which is correctly prepaid at 4 cents, will be affected, and then only if there is a time advantage to the addressee in giv- ing the item airlift. This will put into the air a very important and substantial class of mail, and in keeping with the his- toric nature of the event appropri- ate ceremonies will mark the inau- guration on Dominion Day across Canada. Details regarding these ceremonies will be announced at a later date. In order that«there may be no public confusion regarding the na- ture of the new service, the post office desires to draw attention to the following points: Air mail service will sil be avail- able for the accommodation of all mail prepaid at existing air mail rates. In.other words, a patron wishing to send an item of first class mail, weighing more than one ounce, by air may still do so by pre- paying at air mail rates. He may also prepay at air mail rates an item to which "All-Up" treatment ordinarily would be given if he wants to make sure the letter will travel by air. In cases where the patron is de- pending on "All-Up" treatment of his letter for carriage by air, atten- tion should be pail to the weight of the item to make sure it is ounce or less. Letters, after July 1, should not be endorsed "Air Mail" unless pre- paid at air mail rates. To get the fullest possible benefit from the new "All-Up" service, the patron should address his mail fully and clearly, and post as soon as possible, While the new "All-Up" service is being made available to the pub- lic by the post office in conjunction with Trans-Canada Air Lines, the fact that a patron may be located in a centre not directly served hy T.C.A. does not mean he will not benefit. All maijl qualifying for "All-Up" treatment will be given airlift from the T.C.A. air centre nearest the point of origin.

SMITH Correspondent Prince Albert, June 23.--It was with deep regret the many friends of Miss Isobel Barlow learned on Saturday, of her sudder passing. Stricken with a stroke a few days previous, she had been unable to speak, and so passed peacefully away about 4 p.m. on Saturday. Miss Barlow was a 10ver of flowers and enjoyed each spring, returning from Toronto, to her summer home here, where she spent many hours working in her lovely garden. The sympathy of her many friends is extended to the family in their loss. The weather was lovely and warm and a large crowd, was present at the annual decoration services on Sunday. . The cemetery was beautiful with its well cut grass and a profusion of flowers. There was a slight delay in the programme until the microphone, which had been accidentally for- gotten, was brought and connected for use by those on the platform. The weeekly prayer meeting has been discontinued until further no- tice due to the busy summer season Mr. and Mrs. Jim Doupe were in Trent River on Friday and Satur- 1 day.
