)\ The importance of health to wartime production is still more vital. The Health League of Canada states a striking truth when it terms sickness the archâ€"saboteur of wartime production. The Health League points out that sickness in the United States alone is causing annual loss of working time sufficient to build two heavy cruisers, or 448 bomâ€" bers, or 3,300 light tanks. Turning to the facts and figures in regard to Canada‘s loss through illness, the Health, League points out that there is an anâ€" nual loss in this country of over seventyâ€"five milâ€" lion dollars. In one recent month the time lost by illness in Canada would have been enough to buila 377 cruiser tanks or 370 medium bombers. Dr. Grant Cunningham, Director of the Industriai Hygicne Division of the Ontario Department ot Health, states that sickness is the main cause of lost time from workâ€"ten times as great as losses caused by industrial accidents. Hon. Ian Macâ€" kenzie, Minister of Pensions and National Health, declares that fifty thousand Canadian workers are absent every day. It is apparent that attention to health is a most valuable feature of war effort. "At ieast 50% of this costly loss can be prevented by adequate sickness prevention programmes in industrial establishments where such measures have halved the average of nine and half days loss per year per worker. With a national health proâ€" gramme giving homes as well as factories adequate protective measures, the loss could be further reâ€" duced. In addition to the net saving in time, proâ€" tecting the health of workers distinctly improves labour relations. General improvement in the workers‘ health makes for a marked speed up in production besides effecting substantial reductions in accidents and occupational disease, absenteeâ€" ism (defined as absence from work because of fatiâ€" gue or minor illness accentuated by fatigue or malnutritionâ€"a factor which for a time seriously impeded production in British war industries) laâ€" bour turnover, and insurance costs." Viewed from the standpoint of national advanâ€" tage, consideration of health is essential to warâ€" time production, and the work of the Health League of Canada may be classed as truly patrioâ€" tic effort. t coa ioh o B . a 20000 hh M ts C Mc Pss s So far as can be gathered from all the facts and | _ en ons figures available there is practically no danger of § "Still stands the motto of the King: Canada being forced to go without any really esâ€" ; "Put into your task whatever it may be, all the | | dn h --c-\,"“'\ «t stt t sential commodity.

It is so apparent that health is essential to the ranks of those serving as soldiers and sailors and airmen that the fact scarcely needs mention. The importance of good health in the ranks of those who are not in the armed forces may not be so evident. A little consideration, however, will make it clear that health is a vital matter to any country in time of war. In times of peace it means added convenience, comfort and happiness to have general good health. In times of war it appears to be a matter of life and deathâ€"and this is not meants as a play on words. If the general health of the people is good, the way is clear for the carâ€" rying on of the grim business of war. That is a matter of much importance. A healthy people can do much moreâ€"endure much moreâ€"than a people tramelled by disease or weakened by illâ€"health. Speaking of the loss to wartime production through illness, the Health League of Canada in : release this week says: Articles in regard to heaith sent outl by unc Health League of Canada each week are very emâ€" phatic reminders that health is playing a very potent part in Canada‘s war effort. Of course, health is a prime essential for those in the actual fighting forces. Even before the man (or woman) enters the fighting forces his (or her) health asâ€" sumes considerable importance.. The Health League of Canada seems to have wisely avoided any overplus of statistics, yet it could not present its case without some general figures and there has been plenty of evidence that the number of eligibles for defending Canada here and overseas has been materially reduced by this same question of health. Had more attention been paid to the question of health in the past there would be a much larger body of men (and women) ready to take their places in the defence of Canada toâ€"day. It is only fair to say that the good work of such organizations as the Health League of Canada can be given credit for the fact that there are so many eligible and able to take their place in the vital duty of defence of the country at home and abroad. 8 Ratés: Canadaâ€"$200 Per Year.

There is nothing fossilized about it. : It iq right up to the minute, with a forâ€" ward look. Two items in the June issue appear to be particularly seasonable. One of these is headed "Preâ€"historic flypapers," It tells about specimens of amber in the Ontario Museum at Toronto thai prove themselves to be "prehistoric flypapers." In a preâ€"historic forest myriads of insects hummed and crawled. Some of them were caught like flies on flypaper in the gummy resin exuding from cerâ€" tain trees. Time marched on! In the present century fossilized resin in known as amber, and specimens of this amber in the Ontario Museum disclose the perfectly preserved remains of the inâ€" sects caught in the prehistoric flypaper. The moral for toâ€"day is that the diseaseâ€"bearing flies that leave the forests should be caught on manâ€" made flypapers. In view chiefly of distribution difficulties it apâ€" pears certain that regular forms of rationing may be necessary in a few lines. In all absolutely essential lines there seems to be sufficient for all. Ration plans simply mean fairness and equality of distribution. If all take the right attitude no one need suffer to any material extent.. If the people and the authorities alike play fair, there will be no hoarding, no shortage, no suffering. The second item from the Ontario Museum should have very special interest at the moment. It approaches the modern rubber problem from a new angle and opens to the active imagination a picture with great possibilities. Here is the item. as it appears in the Royal Ontario Museum News: "When our present supply of rubbers wears out, are we doomed to have cold wet feet for the duraâ€" tion? It is comforting to remember that people managed to keep their feet dry long before rubbers were invented. An exhibit in the costume gallery of the Royal Ontario Museum shows how they did it. A thick sole of leather, cork or wood was tied to the shoe; these extra soles were called clogs or pattens and very often they were raised on spikes or a metal ring, and the wearer was lifted off the ground out of the mud and wet. In Italy during the 17th century the pattens became exaggerated in height and the more important a lady was, the farther she was from the pavement. In general, however, .the height was modest and, on the whole, they were quite practical." Hoarding may well be termed a crime against the public, treason to the people in general.. The peoâ€" ple must play fair. If they do no one will suffer unduly. That cannot be overâ€"emphasized. At the same time the authorities also must play fair; or they, too, will be guilty of treason against the peoâ€" ple. There must be no unnecessary restrictionsâ€" no control of goods to make profits for a few. Unâ€" der no circumstances must there be destruction of goods simply to stabilize prices. It would be well, also, for the authorities to remember that some purchases that may seem like hoarding may be nothing of the sort. It should be rememberea that before the war the country came through a serious period of depression. In that depression many had not the means of purchasing even neâ€" cessities. With the coming of wartime trade, if those victims of the depression "stocked up‘"‘ on certain lines, it was not hoarding, but simply fillâ€" ing longâ€"felt wants. own purpose by adding to the difficulties of the situation, but it alsa injures the rest of the public to such an extent that it deserves the name of treason to the people. It is also well to remember that unprincipled people take advantage of this probable shortage in some particular line, and then some merchant or manufacturer clears out goods that he found otherwise too slowâ€"moving. A case in point is in the line of paper. Some time ago there were dealers who urged special purchases of paper of certain kinds that were supposed to be liable to early disappearance from the market. Toâ€"day those lines of paper are said to be a drug on the market. . dity concet become accustomed. In some lines, it may be taken for granted, there will be just enough to go round.

Productive capacity is now greater than ever beâ€" fore and "production is the chief insurâ€" ance against unemployment, and full employment prevents or cures most economic and social ills," he stated. "The extension of the war over pracâ€" tically the whole world and the inâ€" creasing fury of conflict by sea, land and air are convincing and terrible proofs of the absolute necessity for the greatest possible united war effort on the part of all Canadians," said Mr. Crabtree. ‘The part played by inâ€" dustry is important since men without machinery and equipment are of little use. They cannot fight without weaâ€" pons, supplies, food and transport; but put first things first and in this war fighting comes first. Peace will never be achieved until victories are won and these victories must overwhelming and final. This is the task to which we must bend every effort.

Canadian industry has broken all bprevious records by a wide margin durâ€" ing the past year, Mr. Crabtree anâ€" nounced. Canada, in addition to supâ€" plying most of her own needs, is makâ€" ing war products that are being shipâ€" ped around the world and is manufacâ€" turing vast quantities of products that were never made before. Relations beâ€" tween employees and employers had improved during the past year, he statâ€" ed. With scarcities developing in maâ€" terials and workers, Mr. Crabtree urged that nothing should be wasted. Manâ€" power, productive capacity and materâ€" lals must be managed so as to produce the greatest possible results in the shortest space of time.
