THUBSDAY, APRIL2zznÉi, 14im1. ~1 Li1~~ ILi1i ?mAYVA.L~ J¶IZ Health ' Units Ash for Clean-Up Iy May istIob Assist là the Control of Fies The number o! cases o! com- mnicable diseases reported in Marcb by the Counties Health Unit almost equalled the cases for Jaauary and February corn- bined. O! the 401 cases reported, 210 were rnumps and 158 mred mea- sies. Measles reported for the previaus manth were 20. O! the Il cases o! scariet fever reported, six occurred in Newcastle and Unit nurses visited the local sehool regularly, excludi r1 chil- dten witb sore throats. 1 would séem that this supervision was a -' factor in belping ta localize and restrict the out.break. A travelling chest clinic was held on Marcb 16 at Brighton. There were 45 persans x-rayed at this clinic. At the regular Co- bourg and Port Hope clinics 35 people had e hest x-rays taken. Bowmanville Lions Club was able, tbraugh the sale o! Chris- tmas seals, ta purchase an x-ray machine. This x-ray machine is ta be donated ta the Bowman- ville Haspital but until the new building is campleted there will nat be rorn for it in the Hospi- tal. In the meantime it will lue kept in the Health Unit office in Bewmanville. It is planned that 'there wiil be a regular clinic on the second Wednesday o! each montb. This will mean that there will be a chest x-ray clinic once eacb manth at Bawrnanville, Part Hope and Cobourg ta which doc- tors can refer cases, contacts and stispects of tubercuiosis cases for x-ray. With the x-ray clinic Wich is available at Belleville thère will naw be nearby facili- tiîs for the cbest x-ray of persans from the variaus .sectians of the United Couaties. It is reparted that the number o! laads a! garbage being deliv- ered ta -the municipal durnps.bas greatly increased with the arrivai o! spring weather apid it wouid appear that the rernoý#ai a! ail re- fuse which bas accurnulated dur- ing the winter will be largely car- ried out before May 1 xvich is the date specified in the Public Heaith Act for such work ta be carnpleted. A tharough dlean-up o! al yards, cellars and out-buildings whicb resuits in the .rernoval o! decaying animal or vegetabie matter will be o! assistance in the contrai o! flies. Tbe bouse f ly, an agent in the sprr-ad o! intestin- al diseases. will breed in ferment- ing x'egetabie wastes, manure, or in the soil arourid garbage cana where iiquid wastes bave been spilled on the ground. As a rule the bouse fly will nat migrate for mare than 500 to 1,000 yards, and the light o! the maioritv is less than 300 yards pravided food and breedinig places are accessi- ble nearby. Far this reason the tliorougb and continuaus rernaval of refuse. in which flies may breed is the most effective mea- sure wbich can be taken ta me- duce the number o! these car- riers of disease in a cornrunity. May 1 bas been estabiished as the date for this dlean-up in Ontario and it is an advantage ta bave this dlean-up done by this date because 4tbe temperature and the moisture bave lux'then became favorable for the develaprnent o! the house fly larvat. Sanitary Inspectors are visiting Imunicipal dumps and consulting with offi cials as ta the manage- Iment of tlhese sa that a minimum of nuisance may resuit. Inspec- tioàs are also being made of yards and lFnes in the more congested areas in the Counties, but the ul- tirnate responsibility for the dieaning up of premises rests with the individual citizen. Medical officers and nurse1s from rnany parts of the world have visited the NortlWumberland- IDurham Health Unit in order to observe its organization and op- eration. Visitors have came from variaus parts o! Catiada, the Uni- ted States, Soutb America, Nor- way and India. During May two nqrses who are resigning frorn thé staff of the Health Unit.,Wil1 be travelling far afield to take up new ap- pointments. Miss Mary Scott and Miss Fern Barker are going to the Pacific Coast and wiil then leave ta take up Public Heal*h positions in the Hawaiian Islands. Miss Scott, who has been station- ed at Port Hope, jained the Healtb Unit in January, 1946 and was ap- painted 'Senior Nurse, Juiy 1, 1946.
