Council oks Reward for information Mackling seeks intoxicant control attorney general Ai Mackling it Manitoba has appealed to a new retail entrepreneurs who re lax about sales of household terns containing alcohol to exercise More care. Or. Mackling in a statement said that while there is. Nothing la Cal about Selling items such is Vanilla extract shaving to ions or hair grooming products n Large quantities to individual buyers there is a moral responsibility on the part of re Ailers nol to sell them to peo Wilc who obviously intend to drink them. I am becoming increasingly concerned about the growing incidence of personal injuries and deaths attributable in whole or in part to what seems to he an indiscriminate Sale and con sumption of harmful food and grooming liquid products hav ing a High alcoholic or. Mackling said the in Cit Lence of these injuries an deaths has t reached the poin where drastic action is Callaci for and in any Case he doubt cd that legislation could b drafted which would effect incl control their Sale. Some of the products Contal As much 00 por cent alcohol by volume but because the arc not intended for consume lion As intoxicants the govern ment tax and controls on liquor o not apply to them. He said he has written to fed ral health minister Marc la Onde asking him to give imme Sale attention to the situation. It is my feeling that an in Ediale Rcd Clion in the in id enc of personal injuries and oaths due to direct consume Ion of these products can be i rough about by the exercise f More care on the part of that seems to be a very few entrepreneurs who seem o exercise laxness of attention As to whom they sell these he said that except for High volume users such As Bakers and Barbers there should be no need for anyone to buy More than one bottle of such a product at a Lime. Certainly under no Circum stances whatsoever should a responsible entrepreneur make a Sale of such a product to an Al ready obviously intoxicated per Winnipeg City Council decided wednesday night to offer a Reward for information leading to arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the death of a 65-year old City woman in March. The Reward is for information in con Naclion with the beating death of Edith Mae Smallpiece whose body was found by inner City police in her Vaughan Street apartment March 1. A police investigation has so far turned up Little evidence. The Reward comes on the recommendation of inner cily police chief Norman so cart and had earlier been approved by the inner City police commis Sion and the civic finance com Millie. G health costs within Bounds. N the last few years on Rio s Hospital costs covered by Durance have been leaping by out 14 per cent a year. They w Are paid billion the 72-73 jump of million put in it past that Milestone for e first time. For the coining year the gov a mint has ordered an Arbi Ary chop in Hospital budget creases to not More than five e r i 11 just about keep them breast of inflation. The Hospi 1s have been told to take eds out of the Active care Cate Ory and find other savings to old Down their claims on the government w h i c ii finances Tern. Ontario also has put into elect a freeze on capital spend in for new Hospital construe on except for a few projects considered essential. During this breathing spell he health ministry and the Are seeking says to it the most out of the Hospital Ollar. One conclusion reinforced by recent study made for the ministry by the Ontario College f physicians and surgeons is hat there Are too Many unnecessary Patin is in the expensive dive treatment hospitals. The College found that one in every 20 was admitted unnecessarily and one in every 10 was kept in of Long. Over use of Active care Beds which runs into big Money Al a Day per bed is attributed by various authorities to a combination of causes. Some contend there is an inclination among Many doctors to Plant a Cluster of patients in a Hospital either for Ireat mint or diagnosis so that they Are Handy for a daily tour billed for As a series of visits. From the Hospital s View Point As one authority puts it diplomatically government Grants on the basis of bed use act As a disincentive to have Cieply Beds lying around. One Well posted official says me hospitals have been found have fully 30 per cent of Nir patients in unnecessarily. Another Drain on government ads is Empire building in Indi dual hospitals and instead of operation by neighbouring in Illions duplication of ser pcs and Competition for the in Crement Dollar. Since the clamps were a lied by the health ministry provincial officials see the Glim Cring of a trend among Hospi ils in the same or neighbouring of Munitic to Pool resources and steer patients from one to ii other As facilities Are Avail ble. We got a lot of flak when we isl talked about cutting Down Ospital facilities but the Recac Ion from hospitals has been or. Potter says. Many hospitals have said a an Cut Back More than you one idea gelling much alien Ion from both the government my Independent experts is that if Community health centres As i Means of both reducing Hospi Al use and at the same time producing a continuing High evil of health care. These consist generally of a group of doctors and other personnel working As a unit with facilities Tor health promotion preventive Medicine diagnosis and not in Hospital facilities. The Pioneer Centre in Ontario was set up at Sault St. Marie 10 years ago with the backing of the United steelworkers of America. Originally most of its customers came from the Union s local but last year it dealt with More than persons. Because the Centre s staff and facilities do considerable work Hal normally would Call for sending a patient to Hospital it reports that users of the Centre spend on the average about one third less time in hospitals than do other Sault residents. The Centre s 13 general prac lion cars and specialists work i a combination of salary and productivity that averages a year. Ship doctors generally will net about Lis year after meeting office expenses. In St. Catharines a somewhat similar Centre was set up As a 967 Centennial year project of m r Mackling and Frank Syms chairman of the Mani Toba liquor control commission recently started a crackdown on hotels and cocktail lounges which serve intoxicants to per sons who Are already drunk a practice prohibited under the Manitoba liquor control act.
