She Oshawa Ti Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T, L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 12,1966 ~ PAGE 4 Hospitals Observe Day In Era Of Rapid Change This is an editorial about Nation- al Hospital Day and the temptation is to start it off with the remark that hospitals are at the crossroads, Since people have been saying the same thing for the last couple of decades, it's a pretty trite remark. But it's also true. The fact is that in today's fast- changing field of hospital care, buildings and equipment that were adequate or even superior, yester- day can appear behind the tiimes by tomorrow, The Sarnia Observer notes, It's because so many things are changing. Most important, per- haps, are the. rapid advances in the science of medicine, Often they make tremendous demands on hos- pital facilities and staff. There have been major news stories re- cently about an artificial heart in Houston, Texas, and a cancer tissue "swap" in Philadelphia, Both of them illustrate a point tech- niques and new equipment confront hospitals with new sets of prob- lems. There are also changes in the pub- lie's attitude towards hospitals, This adult generation, or at least the one before it, can remember when people went to hospitals only when they were dangerously ill and tonsils often were taken out on the kitchen table. This year, says the Ontario Hospital Association, more than a million people will be admit- ted to the province's active treat- ment hospitals. In a population of about seven million, that's impres- sive. It means more and bigger hospil- new tals, better equipped and better staffed, Ontario now has more than 220 public hospitals, with almost 48,000 beds, The hospitals have 84,000 full-time employees, and an- other 16,000 part-time. Here's another interesting statis- tic, Close to 75,000: persons do vol- untary service for hospitals, either as members of their governing boards or of their hospital auxili- aries; To the list be added several . thousand who fill voluntary but taxing posts in their hospitals as heads of departments could doctors chairmen of committees, etc. This illustrates an important point about hospitals in this prov- Since the development of the Ontario Hospital Services Commis- ince, sion, some aspects of hospital ad- ministration have been largely cen- tralized, These are mainly finan- cial, But the planning and direction, the true shaping of the destiny of the local hospitals, is left with the people in the community.. And they continue to do a fine job, May 12 is the birthday of Flor- ence Nightingale, the uncomprom- ising 'Lady of the Lamp" who set the standards of the nursing fession, It is from the nurses, in fact, that the high standards of hos- pitals have through the nurses they are main- tained, There are a lot of persons on the "Hospital Team", In Ontario, there are close to 200,000 of them, As The Observer aays, they merit at least a bow of gratitude on their day. In a tough battle, they are a winning pro- developed, and it is 'team, Retreat To Meditate Canadian political leaders who are under fire -- and aren't they all, from time to time?--are presented by the Ottawa Journal with a news item which, it suggests, must cause them a moment's envy, It has to do with one Purshottam Ko- kodkar, leader of the Congress Par- ty in Goa, India, who has just let it be known that he has gone into ree treat for meditation. _ The Oshawa Times L, WILSON, Publisher & C.

And think of the relief it would be if they could go into retreat in this fashion in the middle of an election campaign, and pop up, strengthened and refreshed, for the final rounds, without questions asked or loss of nolitica) political system demands face? And wouldn'tthe country itself stand to gain if its leaders---and their supports too, for that matter--took time for meditation and promise- making, not to speak of "scandal mongering and scuttle-butting," as Mr, Pearson used to call it before the Munsinger case came up.

M. T. (Bobby) McDonald. of Hamilton, It was charged with the examination of the whole role of the new chemicals in our daily life and providing an- swers {(o questions as Are drugs adequately checked, both scientifically and clinically, be fore they are permitted to be sold to sufferers? Are our Jand, air and water, and particularly foodstuffs derived therefrom, poisoned by ignorant and dan- gerous use of pesticides and insecticides? The committee's "work in its first session was cut short by the defeat of the Dief enbaker government ABLE CHAIRMAN In the fall of 1963, the mittee was rec appointea chairman -a role which he has continu ously filled with remarkable conscientiousness and = ability ever since, It held 18 meetings, hearing much about pesticide and made valuable recommendations for government action in that dan- gerousty under-regulated field In 1964 the committee was again: set up, with instructions from Parliament that it exam- ine the broad field of the safety of drugs, Betwee April and December it held meetings, and submitted a report contain ing many valuable recommen- dations aimed at enduring the optimum standards in the man ufacture and supply of drugs, It also recommended the Strengthening of the govern ment's food and drug director- ate, and closer control and su- come onstituted, and evidence finalls pervision of the drug industry to bring the fly-by-night oper- ators up to the high standards of the big international compar nies, or else to close them down, The 1964 meetings were hall- marked by the illuminating pro- nouncement by the then head of the Food and Drug Directorate that he personally would always buy a brand-namé drug, to en- sure that he obtains the quality and efficacy. guaranteed by the reputation of a well-known man- ufacturer, His comparison be- tween brand-name drugs and the sometimes cheaper so-called equivalents leads logically into this year's work of the drug committee, which will be to ex- plore the criticism that drugs are OSU, FACTORS IN PRICES Dr. Harley tells me that he will steer his committee to ex- amine all factors making up the retail price of drugs. These in- clude, he says, the federal sales tax of 11 per cent devied at the manufacturers' level, which may well add 22 per cent to the retail price, Then there is the -pharmacists' dispensing fee and mark-up, the manufactur ers' advertising costs, and the effect of patents, Evidence will be 'heard from federal officials, drug manufacturers, pharmacists, consumers' asso- ciations and labor unions An early intention was to re- Place Dr Harley as chairman by Vancouver lawycr Ron Bas- ford, a Liberal backbencher who in 1964 attended only two of the committee's 25 meetings, Such appointment would pre- sumably have been on political grounds, to give a young MP the chance to win his spurs an important job, But this would have overlooked the essential factors that this professional committee shétild have a medi- cal doctor as chairman, and that the continuing nature of its enquiries calls for experienced continuity in its management, So after back-stage negotiation, it was arranged that Dr. Harley should not be displaced. This recognizes his good services, and certainly strengthens the committee, doctors Winds Of Change Rock Schweitzer's The World Associated Press,, Spotlight this week, revisits Albert Schweltzer's African Jungle hospital, looks at an emigration prob- lem in Greece, and reports on a new Scottish method of treating alcoholics, LAMBARENE (AP) are putting in electric light and a telephone at Dr Albert Schweitzer's hospital in country of rhey jungle the Central African Gabon.

He was born in Upper Canada on May 12, 1804 and-is' known as "the father of responsible gov- ernment in Canada When Baldwin became active in polities as a Reformer both Upper and Lower Canada were governed by Lieutenant-Gover nors, who chose their cabinet ministers, He expected them to do what they were told. The legislatures had little power, Baldwin and other Reformers like W. L. Mackenzie wanted the government to be respon- sible to the people, not the Lieu- tenant-Governors., It was this issue that caused the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada in 1837-1838, Baldwin could see them com- ing and went to Britain in 1837 to urge the British government to improve the situation, Baron Glenelg, the Golonial Secretary, would not receive him, on ad- vice from Lieulenant-Governor Sir Francis Bond Head, The re- bellions broke out a few months later After the rebellions, it was obvious that Canada must have responsible government, Upper and Kower Canada were united with one Parliament and some top men like Durham, Bagot, Metcalfe, and Elgin were sent to Canada as Governors-Gen- eral, Reform gradually came, and the most successful govern- ment was formed by Robert Baldwin and Sir Louis Hyppo- lyte Lafontaine, who had been one of the rebels. Mn PARIS IN THE SPRING It was their second ministry in 1849 that passed the Rehel- lion Losses Bill and firmly established responsible govern- ment in Canada Baldwin and Lafontaine also set_.an example of co-operation between French and Finglish- speaking Canadians, Lafontaine was beaten in an election in Quebec, and Baldwin arranged to have him represent the con- Stituency of York, in Ontario It was incredible to have a French Canadian represent- ing Protestant English-speak+ ing Toronto! Then Lafontaine returned the compliment, Baldwin was beat- en in an election, so Lafontaine had him represent the thor- oughly French constituency of Rimouski, Quebec!
