In the city of Cornwall there are 44 doc tors, one for every 1,000 He indicated the problem may even be more serious than appear on the surface. The fact there are 44 doctors in the.

city doesn't present the Mayor's Remarks 'Careless1 "Careless and irresponsible' was the description made Frl day by the executive of the Ottawa Professional Fir Fighters' Association of certain remarks by Mayor Whitton re garding the tick leave practices of city firefighters. tMayor Whitton had com men ted at Mdnday'i council meeting that firemen on tick were influenced by the Summer weather end not sick- The association pointed out trial the firefighters' record is as good as that of any civic department and, in any event. Wore sn employee can get such leave he must have the authorization of a doctor. Strong exception was also taken to the Board of Control decision to cut the driver from the various chiefs' car when -answering call. The association contends that these men are not merely extra bodies but are actually part of the Are fighting com piemen of each station in the district over which tneir cpiei has tumdiction.

After driving to the Are, and making the initial calls that be required, the driver Joins the regular men from the etation flghtmg the fire. By withdrawing this msn, each station in the district is left one man short, the association maintained. Concern was also expressed over the shortage of men ifoi-krwirut the implementation of the 42-hour week. The associa tjon cited the lebreton Flats Are a an example, saying off duty men had to be called, in some case relieving civilians manning hose.

COMPARABLE SIZE Citing some comparisons. Mr. Brownridge pointed out that in cities of comparable size to 'Cornwall there are more doctors.

He aided there are several factors involved when one conjHlerswhy such condition exists. Figures mdicsie there is not an over-all short-tee of physicians in the prov ince. However, there is a shortage of family doctors. He cited uneven distribution as another -factor, which leave Cornwall and the three counties with one doctor per 1.000 people while in univer sity centres such ss Kingston there is ratio of 1 to 300. OTHER FACTORS Other factors include the point doctor like to be near university teaching centres where new medical knowledge is readily eccessible.

There is, continued Mr. Brownridge, the economic fee tor where a doctor hss been forced -to-tea ve a -so-called "under-doctored' region be- Eyes Mouth Shut Diplomat "I'm here to get to know Canada and Csnadians. I want to know what Canada think and why it think that. "I think it's diplomst's duty to keep his eye open and mouth shut." That' how Sir Kenneth Bailey, the new Australian High Commissioner to Canada, summed up his role in an interview with The Journal Friday. Sir Kenneth Js no stranger to this country? He first visit ed Cenada in 1937 when he was a professor of law and in the 27 years since then be has made many return visits to this country, usually to Ottawa.

"I consider myself fortunate because I hsve already many Canadian friends," said Sir Kenneth. Many of these friend ships were begun while he was Rhodes Scholar at Oxford shortly after the First World War. This, is Sir Kenneth's first appointment at a high com For the past 18 year he has been solicitor-general, of Australia, during which time 'hT represented Australia at many International Including the Sen Francisco; Conference in 1945 at which the charter of i the Units' Nations was, drtwnVup.

His general conclusion, was there Is little thst can be done serious though the problem may be. The situation is not con lined to this srea alone, but is shared by large regions to the north and northwest and even in some smsll areas in 'Central Ontario.
