Of Health: In 1968 the Public Health Service was reor¬ganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health Administra¬tion, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug Adminis¬tration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service.
A health manpower report prepared by the National Commission of Community Health Services showed that the U.S. hospitals and health organizations were maintaining the ratio of 150 doctors per 100,000 population only by filling out one-fifth of their needs with physicians from other countries. The demand for health care had also created serious shortages of nurses and other paramedical personnel. Among the solutions being suggested were new methods of health care organization and govern¬ment support for new or expanded education programs in the health sciences.See Also Developing Health Hazards:When established in 1798, the Public Health Service was authorized only to provide medical care for merchant seamen. It now has a threefold mission: to protect and improve the health of all Americans; to conduct and support research into the causes and cures of disease; and to develop better understanding and control of all hazards to health in man's environment—in the air, the water, and in the products he consumes—and of the accidents to which he is subject.
Water is only one of the vehicles that bring chemical pollutants into everyday life. The U.S. Food and Drug Admin¬istration estimates that Americans are exposed to more than 500,000 substances, usually over very long periods of time. Less than 10% of these substances have been cataloged in a way that would provide useful information concerning their effects on our environment. Slowly developing health hazards are not publicized because they lack the drama that would give them news value. Yet the evidence is now overwhelming that even very low concentrations of environmental pollutants can, in time, have disastrous effects through a number of indirect mechanisms.
On The Other Hand See Health Grit—give:In the wild, canaries feed on seeds of many plants, tender plant shoots, and fruits; especially fond of figs.
Seeds—Give prepared canary seed mixture pur¬chased at pet shops; regular canary cups may be used, but feeding more interesting to watch when seeds are placed in open dishes, such as flower pot saucers. Health grit—Give prepared grit purchased at pet shops or make your own (see Part III).
Nesting bird needs insect food; offer nestling mixture pur¬chased at pet shops. Give health grit (see p. 254) weekly. After eggs hatch, parent birds feed soft food to young; add crumbled bits of stale sponge cake to adults' regular diet. Continue egg mixture and nestling food until young come off nest and begin to feed them¬selves.
When young can feed themselves, remove from parents and place in cage by themselves; continue feeding health grit to young 3-4 times weekly. |
