Povert e y And Death' Stalks Whole Way Of Life OTTAWA (CP) -- The plight of Canadian Indians, with their high death rate caused by poor health and housing conditions, was placed before delegates to the four-day federal - provincial conference on poverty and op- portunity Tuesday. . The Federal Indian affairs branch recommended a 10-year crash program--part of it al- ready under way -- to bring more provincial services to In- dians to include them in the mainstream of Canadian so- ciety. It described programs al- ready under way, but concen- trated on pulling together the statistics about Indians which indicate that many are living in ghettos with poor food, light and sanitation. The average age of death in 1963 for Indian males was 33.31 years and for Indian: females average rises to 46 years for males and about 48 years for females. But this is still well below the national average. of 60.5 years for males and 64.1 for females. ARE PREVENTABLE The brief said three-quar- ters of all Indian deaths are at- tributed to five main causes-- most of them preventable. Colds or pneumonia head the list, with accidents second. Then come heart trouble and strokes, infant diseases, and stomach and bowel disorders such as diarrhea. These illnesses are caused by poor living conditions and health habits. Among those who live, many are unemployable because of bad health. More than 6,000 Indian fami- lies are badly in need of hous- cent of families earn less than' $1,000 a year. A 1962 survey only 44 per cent of Indian/ homes have electricity, com- pared to a national average of 99 per cent. Sewers or septic tanks were in only nine per cent of their homes, running water in only 13 per cent. i LACK UTILITIES i "Tt is clear that Indian com-| munities are deficient in utili- ties to the extent that minimum standards of health and decency are difficult to maintain." Another federal brief, entitled profile of poverty, said among the general poplation poor housing, ill health, poor social and home environment, im proper nourishment and cloth- ing and ignorance of opportuni- ties among young people result ing and many others are in sub- standard dwellings.

De Gaulle's decision was an- nounced by Information Minis- ter Alain Peyrefitte after the cabinet meeting. There had been speculation before the first election round last Sunday that de Gaulle might withdraw if he failed to get the 50 per cent of the vote plus one required for election on the first try. De Gaulle got 44.63 per cent, which sent him into a run - off with leftist Francois Mitterrand, the No. 2 man who got 31.71 per cent. Mitterrand is supported by the socialists, the Communists and part of the radical social- ists. Four other candidates were eliminated in the election Sun- day. The' present expectation ts that enough moderate and con- iii Run |without much success in jearly 1950s and it could well) 7 Why, impact the other candidates were making, de Gaulle made a second campaign address. EXPECT de GAULLE WIN Because the voters have less of a choice, they are generally expected to give de Gaulle the required absolute majority which they withheld so stun- ningly on the first ballot. The campaign begins offici- ally Friday and lasts eight days. Since Mitterrand was given active support by: both Commu- nists and socialists in his am- paign, some Gaullist supporters were reported Tuesday to be urging that de Gaulle offer the voters a largely emotional choice between Gaullism and Communism. But de Gaulle used that line the turn against him now. Early forecasts based on pub- lic opinion 'polls are already giving de Gaulle 60 per cent of the vote and Mitterand 40. ; Naturally' Says Determined DeGaulle ar i MMAR AWMLA WE = - 77 water Ty raEey = vy Guar BeniBae Bann ti. & YORee UST, VeLeMEET S IFTee diately after the results of the first vote were known, He must walk a delicate path if he hopes to attract many of the non-left voters who opposed de Gaulle in the first vote.
