M Unique War Memorial Erected in British Columbia Mrs. A. A. Perry Describes Health Centre Established :11 Memorial to Heroic Dead. The Editor has received the follow- ‘ ing letter and interesting article from Mrs. A. A. Perry who is at present visiting in Western Canada after at- tending the Author's convention in Vancouver. 12 Durham Road, Mt. Royal, Calgary. August 29, 1926. Dear Mr. Smith:â€" I ’am sending you this for pub- lication in the Liberal, if you can spare space, an account of a remark- able Health Centre in British Colum- bia, which through the courtesy of the provincial Health Officer Dr. H. E. Young and that of Mrs. V. S. McLach- lan, superintendent of Women‘s Insti- tutes I was invited to visit and where I was given every facility for seeing all of its interesting workingsh. I know that'a great many of your readers, particularly perhaps your women readers will be interested as well as myself and as we have never yet ducceeded in Richmond [Hill in getting even medical inspection of schools the information regarding this British Columbia experiment in public health may be of some value. One of the-most7 unique, suitable and'useful war memorials in Canada is that which has been established in the Municipality of\Sanni-.-h in Brit- ish Columbia a lovely co:.intryside comprising 55 acres close to the city of Victoria. Sannich is populated by about twelve thousand people most! of whom are of British birth or are ‘ native born Canadians. l The Memorial has taken the form 1 of a health centre which in the last i | l l i k l three ‘or four years has become the ‘ main Public Health station in British Columbia, is the most highly de- ' veloped type of Health Centre we i have anywhere in Canada and is rap- , idly becoming throughout the United States “and the Dominion, because of , the remarkable Work it is accomplish- 3 ing in the way of child welfare and i the general conservation of life 112‘ the i district where it is in operation. i Before attempting to describe the Sannich Health Centre it may be well to state that one of the main factors a in its success has been that from the first when the Women’s Institutes and other bodies advocated its estabâ€" lishment the Provincial Health De- partment under Dr. H. 'E. Young who is one of the most able and‘enterpris- ing public health officials in the coun- try, has consistently stood behind it and has aided and abetted it with not only the most generous moral supâ€" port; but with substantial financial assistance. The Centre is loused in a charmâ€" ingly situated, attractive building in ‘ the heart of the‘ municipality and on the main highway. It is under the superintendence of Mrs. C. A. Lucas, R. N. an Englishwoman of high standing in her profession, a public health worker of the first rank and an organiser of much ability. From the beginning of the Centre has had the Women’s Institute of the section solidly behind it and under the lead- ership of Mrs. V.‘ S. McLachlan who has recently become the provincial superintendent of Institutes in B. C. this organization has diligently Work- ed for its establishment and is now interested in its extension. The reasons which led to the build- ing of the Centre have been outlined in a recent government report. “The Great War brought to the at- tention of the peoples of the wor‘d in a startling manner the fact that a large proportion of human beings are suffering from physical defects which are preventable in childhood. Takâ€" I. ing cognizance of this fact the San- nich Council, the School Board. and the people resolved to build a Health Centre from which should radiate healthâ€"a place where the expectant mother might apply for the advice? which is going to mean so much to the unborn child and to posterity, and to which the pre-school as well as the ‘ school child can go and have its|I health built on a firm foundation. Re- sults-have amply justified the splen- did effort which was made by this far i seeing committee and the Sannich i Municipality stands as one of the healthiest in Canada toâ€"day. g The initial cost of the Health Cen- I tre to the municipality of Sannicl; was “25.000, and a great share of ‘tlte cost f of the upkeep comes directly from the ; pockets of the taxpayers but the nurs- ’ ing staff, four in number is supplied i by the Provincial Department of ‘ Health and from the training school for public nurses in the l’nivcrsny of Bfitish Columbia there comes the Student Nurses several 01 whom are i to be always found augmenting the staff of the Centre. The Public Health Columbia. n1": rc» in nurses in British quired to spend sever-.11 month this type of field Work before they can secure their diplomas. An interesting fact to Z‘l‘lllclll‘JC‘.‘ in ; connection with health acmfititw British Columbia is that in lLlll an ‘ 'Act was passed which makes It (‘O‘ll- pulsory for all school children to be medically inspected and that this Act has been vigorously enforced. So that with the Sannich Centre there has been linked this school inspcction and there has been all along titc line a co- ordination of effort and of aim. The building in which the work is carried on is large, roomy and well equipped. It contains of’ficcs. operat- ing rooms, a dental surgery, supply room, one ward containing four beds, a class room, nurses quarters, dining kitchen, laundry and furnace rooms and sleeping quarters for the domesâ€" tic staff. Many activities are undertaken by the Centre. For the field work three Ford cars are used and there is an approximate mileage of 3,000 covered each month by the nurses. Because of the valuable pre-natal and child welfare work done by the field 'nursâ€" ing staff the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company gives the Centre gen- erous assistance. Pre-school clinics have been organiz- ed recently; the district work includes maternity work and all bedside nurs- ing of diseases which are not conn- municable and this service is found very heavy owing torthe number of night calls. At the Centre six beds are utilized for a certain type of patâ€" Continued on page 2 Advertisement) ‘: ~ ‘iiPr‘L‘I‘ we mi g1. -:‘!-'~’, 1"}! -";>~-.&_.; u’fi- ,','-SJ “from”?

The farmers of Canada have shown that they can march abreast of the whole world in quality pro- duction. Also they have made giant strides in increasing the quantity of their production. But in the busmess-like, efficient marketing of their products they have failed to keep pace. Little Denmark has developed a system of co- operative marketing that has made her one of the most efficient and prosperous agricultural countries Australia and New Zealand have both made the orderly marketing of their products a matter of national policy. in the world.
