Eachen in a renent speech "One of the prime objectives of my department of national health and welfare,"' he said "is to be aware of potentially harmful factors in our daily contacts, and to determine the effects of such environmental factors on the health of peo- ple." He went on to describe how three divisions in his de- partment are concerned with various aspects of pollution--of water, air and through environ: mental radfation Bult in the' environmental health realm, there is no prob lem of greater significance than the control and elimination of pollution of our water, he said ALM TY DOLLAR The minister took a slap at commercial which display the greatest econ omy in their utilisation of our natural resources indicating that business is too cavalier and lacking in responsibility in the way it, for dumps commercial waste into our lakes and rivers without first purifying it. Why does business do this? Because it would cost money and hence reduce prof- {is to install purification. appar- atus "We as a nation---and (his applies to governments as well as. to individuals, groups and corporations--have been a little bit too blase about the corrosive consequences of civilization and progress on many of our nat- ural resources and amenities, We are only now beginning to realize that our great natural resources are exhaustible and, in some cases, irreplaceabie, even though we perhaps have more of them than most other countries lL can remember J.

MacKachen then re ferred to 'a new type of pollu- tion--and I hesitate to suggest what the federal government can or should do about it, The World Health Organization calls it 'mental pollution' and warns that it may become a hazard comparable to air or water pollution," Mental pollution, he ex- plained, is caused in part by the noise in big cities, such as the roar of traffic, the shouting of neighbors, the bellowing of transistor radios -- and even the clamor of campaigning politi cians : This, he said, is a novel and interesting way of describing a problem of which residents of big have long been va- guely aware cities "However," he concluded, "I doubt whether the term 'mental pollution' has much of a future, Legitimate though it may one day be as an excuse for an em- ployee to stay home from work, it somehow wouldn't ring right with the boss when he's told that 'Smith called in to say he ts mentally polluted this marn- ing, and can't come to work," WORKS HIS WAY ROUND BRACKNELL, EXNGLAND (C Derek Raylor wants to take Spare. parts from a car aband- oned near his home, but he could be charged with theft if the owner reclaimed the car, Taylor solved problem by turning the wreck into the police Stal on gs Jost property, It is his afler a two-month waiting pe- riod his vsvanttnntnn ts agree AMA GAR RNA A . .» YOUNG ENTHUSIASTS CREATE STIR What If Nazi Jackboots Had Trod British Soil LONDON (CP) -- "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never sur- render," Thus Winston June, 1940, braced the British people to the fearful possibility of invasion by -Hitler's armies, poised a mere 20 miles from the English coast.

There were sug gestions that the handing over of Canada would pay the bill, In those days there was a movement in the U.S.A. known as "Manifest Destiny Americans felt that it was in evilable that they would own the continent from the Arctic to the Isthmus of Darien including Mexico and Cuba, The move- ment was strengthened early in Some Official P.E.I.

The cily of Saskatoon was incorporated 60 years ago today--in 1906--by amalga- mating three villages on the South Saskatchewan River, Its name came' from. the Saskatoon berry, Missaska toomina in Cree Indian, The settlement was originally planned by an Ontario- based temperance society which obtained a land grant of 100,000 acres and began colonization in 1883, Rut early settlers and other traders had different ideas and the plan for a "dry" island in the prairies van ished, Saskatoon was reached by the railway in 1890 and became the trading centre for northern Saskat chewan 1874--The Dominion Klee tions Act was passed 1923 -- Transjordan's dependence was claimed Mn in pro First World War Vifty years ago today--in 1916 Bulgarian infantry and German cavalry. seized Fort Rupel and other Greek frontier posts; French units al Verdun repulsed an at tack near Fort Douaumont, Second World War Twenty - five years ago today -- in 1941 -- carrier: borne Royal Navy aircraft hit the German. battleship Rismarck with torpedoes; Germans penetrated British defence lines on Crete; Rrit- ain collected £120,041,000 in "War Weapons Week," QUEEN'S ARK Medicare Bargaining By Robarts BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO There would seem to be only one big ques- tion remaining concerning med- feare, r What will Premier Robarts bargain for in the negotiations with Ottawa? : It is taken for granted that the province will be participat- ing in the federal medicare Program when it starts next duly, The program, of course, only entails a payment by the fed- eral government to the proy- inces towards part of the cost of their plans, To qualify for this payment, about the only major change the province will have to make in the present structure com bining OMSIP with private group coverage will be to aban- don the private coverage, And eventually Ontario cer- tainly will do this, The amount of money involved is too hig more than $110,000,000 to risk losing WILL DICKER Before he gives his formal greement, however, Mr. Ro- harts apparently intends to do a bit of dickering, The question is, what will he dicker for? He can bargain for a larger federal share of the cost. (Its offer is based on a national average per capita cost of $34 a year) If he gets support from other provinces he may be able to have the payment boosted He also may make another effort to have the federa) gov. ernment pay part of the cost of mental treatment, As the provinces were in this field when the hospital insur. ance program was atarted. Ot- tawa wouldn't recognize it for payments, And though {It has consis. tently been asked to do so since then |t has refused to change its position, GAIN LITTLE However it Is expected the premier will gain little, His bar. gaining position Is not strong.
