IN as the Medical

death Officer of Dr.

of John

Health A. Hutchinson,

of Westmount, who

the for

Canadian thirty-nine

Public years

Health served

as Medical Officer of Health of Westmount, the Canadian Public Health Association has lost one of its most sincere friends and advisers. Dr.

Hutchinson was one of the oldest practitioners in Montreal and passed away at his home, January 24th, at the age of seventy-seven years. Born at Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia, he was educated at McGill and Edinburgh Universities. In 1890 he was appointed health officer of Westmount, Quebec, where he had made his home. In 1920 he was elected President of the Cana- dian Public Health Association. He gave most generously of his time and experience to advance the interests of the Association and continued his active support during the following years as a member of the Executive Council. He stood out as an example of a cultured medical gentleman with whom age did not become the excuse to relax in personal or professional exactitude. As Medical Officer of Health of Westmount he had the entire confidence both of the profession and of his fellow-citizens. He is survived by one son, Dr. John W. Hutchinson of Ottawa, and one sister, Mrs. David Drysdale.

DR. E.-M.-A. SAVARD

Dr. E.-M.-A. Savard, Inspector-General of the Provincial Bureau of Hygiene, Quebec, passed away on August 8th after a long illness. Dr. Savard practised medicine at Sainte-Marie de Beauce and later at Quebec. After a prolonged visit in Europe, his interests turned to preventive medicine, and he was one of the first in the Province of Quebec to obtain his degree in Doctor of Public Health. He became District Inspector at Rivière-du-Loup, and later chief of the Provincial Bureau of Montreal. The loss of Dr. Savard, whose career has been so fruitful of accomplishment, will be deeply felt by his immediate associates and by the medical profession as a whole.
