YOU'LL

Health
League
Needs
Members
THE
tenth
anniversary
of
National
Health
ON
Week,
which
starts,
tomorrow,
the
Health
League
of
'Canada
is
reaching;
out
for
members
in
all
walks
of
life
to
carry
the
battle
of
sickness
prevention
into
every
community
in
Canada.
The
league
feels
thatit
takes
active
participation
on
the
part
of
every
alert
citizen
to
make
Canada
the
healthiest
country
in
the
world.
Health
cannot
be
imposed
by
fiat.
Laws
making
pasteurization
compulsory
in
two
provinces
have
undoubtedly
all
but
eliminated
killing
diseases
of
bovine
origin
in
those
provinces.
However,
those
laws
would
never
have
been
passed
had
it
not
been
for
preliminary
crusading
by
the
Health
League,
in
co-operation
with
public
health
departments,
which
stirred
the
citizens
of
those
provinces
into
voting
for
them.
Diphtheria,
which
was
a
raging
killer
only
20
years
ago,
has
become
a
minor
problem,
not
because
of
legislation
or
new
mircle
drugs,
but
because
the
people
of
Canada
were
educated
to
immunize
themselves
However,
this
business
of
"pointing
with
pride"
can
be
overdone.
There
is
no
need
for
smugness,
the
Health
League
points
out,
as
long
as
Canadians
continue
to
die
or
lose
their
livelihoods
because
of
preventable
illness.
Pasteurization
of
milk
is
still
not
Dominion-wide.
Such
sickness
as
polio,
alcoholism,
heart
disease,
to
name
a
few,
are
killing
or
ruining
the
lives
of
more
Canadians
than
ever
before,
and
the
Health
League,
111
Avenue

Toronto,
needs
the
help
of
alert
citizens
who

He
