Norris, who introduced Mrs. Shaw, spoke briefly on the operation of Castlegar’s Silver Birch School for handicapped children. He felt many people did not realize the Castlegar Society fs a branch of the larger Kooten- ay Society for Handicapped child- ren, The school is financed by membership fees, grants from the Kinnaird-Robson-Castlegar Welfare Society and government grants jn the amount of $262.50 for each child under School, where they viewed pam by, the Castle tion that ‘his -backgrotind ‘of 32- years in the fleld of health made gf Rim very conclous of the great neglect ‘Which is occuring’ in ‘the ‘B.C. Provincial Health Services. Pointing out that health is a nation’s greatest asset, since it concerns everyone from the cra- dle to'the grave, Dr. Krause add- ed that the acute’ Hospitals stand as one of the most important services in our community. “Yet with the exception of smaller Hospitals of 25-beds. or less," Dr. Krause said, Hospitals in the province are operating at a loss. This means a reduction in services such as nursing, labor- atory services and food.” The Liberal Conalsate. added, “that Jes of the pupils enjoyed hot coffee and dough- nuts, served by ladies of the So- ciety. _ Chairman for the meeting at which 26 were present, was A.

Excellent Film Shown At PTA Cancer Forum The special Cancer Forum program for women sponsored by the Stanley Humphries Parent- Teacher Association Monday night was termed most success- ful by those who attended. Arranged by the Trail Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, ‘the forum featured a panel of Trail and Castlegar doctors. Co-ordinator was Dr. M. E. Krause of Trail. Others on the panel were Dr. C. S. Fowler and Dr. D. F. Ternent of Castlegar, and Dr. Peck of Trail. Following the panel an inter- esting question and answer period was held, with panel members taking part. The program included show-' ing of an excellent film made.by the American Cancer Society, dealing with, types of cancer which chiefly concern women.

It was felt by all to be a good sug- gestion, and. worth keeping in mind: for, future consideration. Owing to length of the panel discussions and the film, it. was everywht more beds are needed for the acute Hospital cases.” Dr. Krause emphasized’ his point when he reminded his aud- ience that no progress has been made in the adding of essential services by the Social Credit Gov- ernment and in fact that.no ad- dition had been made in the es- sential services since Doug Turn- bull left the Health Ministery In 9} “There are,” Dr. Krause said, “For example seven Thousand Cronic.
