THE DAILY TI PAGE FIVE MES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1949 Most People Favor National Health -- (Editor's note: This article con- cludes a series on Britain's Nation- al Health Service. It discusses the general aspects of the scheme.) By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept. 16--(CP) -- Bri- tain's "free" health service is like & nasty medicine -- people grumble about it, but most of them feel it's for their own good. In other words, though national health gets more kicks than kisses, only a minority would vote to scrap it. The general conception of a state service is approved by all of Bri- tain's major political parties. The labor government introduced it-- too quickly, some say--July 5, 1948, but Conservatives and Liberals claim credit for putting it on pa- r, Now, out-of-power parties com- plain largely about abuses in ad- ministration. Tall tales are told of doctors summoned from surger- ies to treat sunburn cases, ambu- lances called to deal with harmless drunks, and whole families clutter- ing up consulting rooms. 2 Supporters 'of state medicine ar- gue that these are just growing pains. They say that while the service isn't perfect yet, it's the big- gest boon ordinary people ever had. - Removal of the economic factor from serious illness is considered to have brought psychological es well as financial benefits. Yet many professional men op- pose the service. Their attitudes range from contempt to mild indif- ference. Some sum up their views in the sentence: "You can't legis- late for human suffering." Perhaps the most general com- plaint is that the old doctor-pati- ent relationship has been destroyed. Let's take a quick look at what the service tries to do, and how it's paid for. y First of all, medical treatment is free in the sense that nobody has to meet doctors' or hospital bills. The state, instead of the indiviulad, Teaching Staff Increased By 5 At Ajax School M. McKNIGHT Correspondent Ajax, Sept. 16--It required four replacement teachers and five new teachers to round out the staff of the greatly increased enrollment at the Ajax Public School.

A Brighter London London (CP).--Royal parks in central London are to have more rose beds, more spring flowers and flowering shrubs and more varied round-the-year displays. These are a few of the changes to be made by William Hepburn, new parks superintendent, now ar- ranging his first autumn shows. ' A gardener for 41 years, Scottish born Hepburn goes every day to an office in Hyde Park where he plans the London parks of tomorrow. Results of his work will be seen in the spring. Along the Piccadilly side of the Green Park there will be a long bank of daffodils, cro- .cuses and snowdrops. At Hyde Park Corner he plans to lay out a miniature garden. Victoria Towers gardens, West- minster, are to be brightened with flowering borders. The water lily basins in Kensington Gardens will be restored and the Fountain Gardens developed. "Londoners are keen gardeners," Hepburn said. "That's why I want to give them plenty of color and variety, with some new varieties from time to time.) " Stafford Bros.

It was. a recommendation from | the T.L.C. executive that the leftist- slated Canadian Seamen's Union be thrown out of the congress. The move would be just about the death knell for that organization as a big influence in Canadian | labor. All indications today were that the proposal would be adopted by an overwhelming majority, backed not only by the executive but by the more militant anti-Red faction of the congress under Frank H. Hall. | However, it was not expected that the C.S.U. issue would break out violently today. Expectations were it would come to the floor next week, possibly Monday 'afternoon. The biggest convention in con- gress history--1,023 delegates were registered when it convened this morning for its second day--hit out in other directions at Reds Thurs- day and were expected to take still further action as the congress taken Thursday: proceeded.
