Family Doctor Backbone 'Of Medical Profession Says Port Perry Physician "The 'family doctor' or general practitioner particularly in small eommunities has become a very fmportant person lately and is recognized as the backbone of the medical - profession", declared Dr. Mathew B. Diamond, of Port Perry, guest speaker at the luncheon meet ing of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, yesterday. The speaker pointed out that in recent years, the country doctor has been the cause of much con- cern. Much has been said and written about the general prac- titioner, he pointed out, yet it is the general practitioner who tends the hurts and ills of eight-five per cent of the population, with the balance of medical services being supplied by specialists. "It has been said", the speaker stated, "that the family doctor is too busy to keep abreast of the modern steps in medical science and sometimes is not able to afford periodic refresher courses." v "The general practitioner or fam- ily doctor is a proud member of a great group.. There are perhaps also, more hard-headed individuals among the ranks of the general practitioners than in any other pro- fession. "Today, more attention is being paid by the profession itself, to the 1 y doctor and he himself is aware of the ties which are his. ! Need Hospitals "One 'great lack is the lack of adequate and suitable hospital accommodation," declared Dr. Dia- mond. "It has been estimated that 500 beds are needed for the County of Ontario alone and yet when the Port Perry Hospital was closed a few years ago, the last available general hospital in the County of Ontario' was gone. There is only the General Hospital in the city of Oshawa to take care of the entire county and yet this city is now so large that the accommodation here is not adequate for the immediate area -- let alone to provide all the hospital beds needed in the county. Stressing that it was only his own personal opinion, the speaker said "Y - believe the approach to this question of the family doctor has been entirely wrong. The subsidiz- ing for medical men, the practice of small communities supplying a home for their dootor 'and even in some cases guaranteeing an annual income, the speaker opined, were not the proper tactices to be used. "Don't set your family doctor on a pinnacle, and he doesn't want your pity, he doesn't need it", the concluded. Wg give him The guest speaker was introduced to the club by Kiwanian "Mac" Hood and at the conclusion of the interesting address, Kiwanian Frank Hare voiced the appreciation of the . members to Dr. Diamond.

FLETCHER Correspondent Harmony, ch 6--Mr, and Mrs. George Lees, "Who live on Harmony Road South, are very happy over The WO most of us children are loved, and clothed. But man educators today are con what the child does, sees in his home with his fam! greater influence on his le and future life than many © facts which he memorizes at sc The home has a definite contrib tion to make to the child's educa tion. Long before he enters school, the child learns many things about the world around him, commonplace, everyday things that might not be rated as education in the formal sense, but which are the foundation of his future learning. This curios- ity, his eagerness to see and touch, his energy in finding out, are the spurs which activate his learning at an early age. Parents play the most important part in this early educa- tion as they patiently help the youngster. : Home Training Influence As soon as he starts to school the child simply has a' larger field for his 'interests, His early home train- ing will greatly influence the value of his school experience. He has learned to dress himself, cross the | street, and do simple coloring and DUNCAN WHITE some news théy have just received from the old country. Their nephew, Duncan, who, with his parents, Mr. and Mrs, D. White, some years ago lived on St. Eloi Street in Oshawa, has just re- ceived his M.A, degree from the Glasgow University, and plans to enter the ministry. He is a stu- dent at Trinity College, Glasgow, and is working for his B.D. Degree. At a ceremony last month, Dun- can, along with several other stu- dents, was "capped." He plans to make his initial sermon in June. News of Balsam And Mount Zion MRS.

He can work and play happily with other children. In these ways at least he has been prepared to meet the demands of the school. * The Parent's Role During his school days the par- ents' role in education is largely one of intelligent co-operation with the teacher, The long-standing separa- tion between home and school life is not bridged simply by attending a few meetings of the Home and School Association. We are inheri- tors of a tradition in which chil- dren. are sent to school to be taught a prescribed set of facts. But, it is becoming increasingly clear that a '| child does not learn reading, or writing, or arithmetic, or any. aca- demic subject by itself alone. He learns them in a setting where there are parents, teachers, other chil- dren, and where there are feelings and attitudes of his own. A child's reading, for example, may 'he a satisfying or unhappy experience according to whether home and school jointly provide the atmos- phere of confidence and interest which is so important to learning. A child who feels that his parents and teacher are standing by to help U.S.-Canada Radar Net Is Planned Ottawa, March 7--(CP) -- The drive is on to build a joint Canad- ian-American radar network but, in Canada at least, it is being shroud- ed in the greatest possible secrecy. This policy has important foun- dations, For one thing, any idea of trying to give complete, over-all ra- dar protection has been written off because of the prohibitive cost. That means that certain areas must be singled out for priority pro- tection and that there must be gaps elsewhere. It is no secret that first priority in Canada is going to what might roughly be called the Mon- treal-Toronto-Ottawa area and in the United States to the great in- dustrial areas of the East and Mid- West, including cities like New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleve- land and Chicago. Because of the limited range of each rpdar station, it is just as bad to say what we haven't got as to say what we have got. The Russians are just as interested in where we haven't got the stations as where Ww. end the most signed to pt it that there away from too where this work d& It is even suspected ents take too active phase of the child's these b days, we ma} we have to limit the child" activities after school hours, 3 he hag plenty of time for hom signments, and his health taxed by late hours and nervous tigue. / Health Important i With the accent on well-run homes and healthy children it hard- ly seems necessary to point out that a child's progress in education de- pends to a great extent on his health, We see that he has regular check-ups by the family doctor and dentist, and are alert to have any defect of eyes and ears taken care of. Some children need the help and assurance of their family to overcome anxieties about world con- ditions which are ever kept before them by newspaper and radio. Too many movies, radio thrillers and trashy comics can be harmful to a child's health and so thoughtful parents encourage active out-door play and try to stimulate worth- while reading habits. In the home the child receives most of his behavior guidance, Parents, too, do the main work in the matter of character, sex and religious education, although they share some of these responsibilities with the school and church, Under the parental roof the children learn to live and work happily with the other members of the family. These skills and attitudes they will apply later in life to solve community, and national problems. The home is doing its share, along with the school and church, to: educate re- sponsible young citizens of tomor- TOW, Boy Claims He Saw Father Shoot Woman St. Thomas, March T--(CP) -- A 15-year-old boy told a supreme court jury here Tuesday that he saw his father fire the killed his father's common-law wife.
