 The Middle-Class Plague: Epidemic Polio and the Canadian State, 1936-37
The Ontario government’s high level of financial involvement in polio treatment and after-care support during and after this epidemic reinforced the growing value of "state medicine," and set important precedents in its subsequent expansion, especially in the face of worsening polio epidemics in the 1940s and 1950s across Canada.
In Ontario, parents grew desperate for any kind of preventive measure as the 1937 epidemic spread and news of the potential value of the nasal spray generated increasing demands that it be given by private physicians.
In Ontario, by 1930, the OSCC recognized that polio was "the most important cause of crippling, accounting for as much as 40% of the total number of handicapped children."(109) This percentage grew alarmingly in 1937.

In 1926, the Tories appointed Zavitz (a veteran forester with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests) to the newly-created position of Deputy Minister of Forestry atop the Department’s Forestry Branch.

But in science, "theory" means "a statement of what are held to be the general laws, principles, or causes of something known or observed." as the Oxford English Dictionary defines it.
The theory of evolution is a body of interconnected statements about natural selection and the other processes that are thought to cause evolution, just as the atomic theory of chemistry and the Newtonian theory of mechanics are bodies of statements that describe causes of chemical and physical phenomena.
