* The Oshawa Daily Times The Oshawa Daily Reformer VOL. 2--NO. 152 ROBINSON VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE rs En Shea . OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1928 MEDICAL CARE PRE-SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN Health Board Discuss Need of System to Give Proper Attention RECEIVE FACTS Approve Communication to Be Sent to Physicians in City Discussing the need for a sys- tem 'whereby the pre-school age child would be adequately looked after by medical attention, a sys- tem which has proven satisfactory beyond all expectations in the United States, the Board of Health of this city, which met last night approved a communication giving all facts and details to be sent to physicians of Oshawa applying for their views of the 'proposition. The communication as drawn up u met with he unanimous approv- al of the Board in that it brings to the forefront one of the most delicate and necessary problems before the medical profession as well as parents of ready to attend school. As ameans of local Board of Health in the de velopment of a program for the care of pre-scholo age children, as part of the general Child Wel- fae work, the roposition is pre- sented to local physicians to give their approval, It consists main- ly of having every child brought into the world placed under the supervision of a doctor acting as obstetrician, brought once a year, as near the time of the child's birth as possible for a physical in- spection and health examination, This examination would include every portion of the body, the result of which would be advice to the parent, if needed, as well as aid in rectifying any difficulty which may present itself in the inspection. This would all be done as part of the Public Health Child Wel- fare Program, and would be car- ried out by the local Health De- partment Nursing Service. The data concerning the births would be obtained from the Birth Reg- istrationg in the City Clerk's Of- fice, now being maintained in the Public Health Department. It is found that in districts where work of this character has been undertaken that a consider- able amount of valuable preven- tive care may be exercised for children, under the direction of the family physician, thus safe- guarding to him his families on which he regularly attends. This work would incidentally: be of splendid assistance to the Public alth Department, by securing in this way a fairly complete and continued health - history of each child born in the municipality) It fs also found thaf as a result of this inspecyon work, the child enters school at the sixth year with a physical + history already fully developed, and that proper safeguarding of the best welfare of the child is then also thorough- ly under way, and that vaccina- tions and immunizations are usu- ally completed. The work of the medical exmin- ation, of dental inspection and of nursing inspection, to be done, and as now being done in the schools would be materially help- ed, as well as the contact of the family physician with the fam- flies definitely maintained. The Department of Health, through *the purses, would make necessary arrangements with the parents, for the appearance of tie children, accompanied by the mothers, at the family doctor's office where the required examin- ation would take place, arrang- ed by the physician, by appoint- ment through the nurses.

Swanson, of This City, is Counsel for Plaintiffs D. A. J. Swauson, local barrister, has been retained as counsel for the Hamilton Jitney Owners' Assp- ciation in the legal battle for the right to demand renewal of their operating licenses on the streets of Hamilton, It has been decided by the As- sociation to issue a writ compelling the Police Commissions of Hamil- ton to issue the licenses on the ground that an agreement of the Hamilton city council and the Hum- ilton Street Ral ¥ have no force or effect so far «is it relates to the rights of the Police Commission to issie licenses, It is also stated as a farther ground that the Po- lice Commission of Hamilton is an acting body on whom rests entire- ly all the questions of traffic, and that the Hamilton City Council cannot enter into legal, valid or binding contract relating to traffic, or the transportation of passengers on the Hamilton streets. Also it Is made upon a further ground that no municipal body has the right to give to any other corporation any exclusive franchise for carry- ing passengers and that an Act of the legislature of the Pgoyince of Ontario, in passing a private bil purporting to make valid the ae- tion of the Hamilton City Council is ultra vires. On the strength of this fact dam- ages of $500,000 will be asked, pro- vided the city council or the Po- lice Commission in any way hinder, handicap or destroy the value of the business of the Hamilton Jit- ney Owners' Association, The life of the first asthorizs- tions of the issuance of jitnev He censes began in 1910 when a by- law of the Hamilton Police Com- mission was passed to, this effect, It was explained that taxicabs are only licensed to answer calls sent into a central office, and that the jitneys may pick up passepgers wherever they please, while on their respective routes. The Ham- jlton Jitney Owners' Association employs 85 men who operate on regular routes over which they ply their trade at a stabilized 10 cent fare. In 1926 the Hamilton Couneil entered into an agreement with the Hamilton Street Railway Company, which provided, among other things, the giving to the company the exclusive franchise for carry- ing passengers in the city. This action did not affect busses operat- ing between the city of Hamilton and outside points. ; Wnder the agreement, a clause slipped Mn to the effect that after June 30, 1928, further licenses to jitneys would be discontinued. This agreement. went 10 a vote of the people and was carried. Shortly af- ter this, a private bill of the legis- lature -of Toronto passed in 1927 made valid the agreement between the city of Hamilton and the Street Railway Company of that city, which was entered into in 1926. Recently the city clerk, of Ham- flton; notified the holders of JFitney licenses that here would mot be a renewal of the licenses after June [30 of this year. R. A. Junor is solicitor for the Hamilton Jitney Owners' Association and made a re- presentation to the Police Commis- sion for the renewal of the licenses. The Board of Police Commissioners refused to sanction the renewal. As a result each member of the Jitney Owners' Association has ten- dered his fees to the Police Com- mission before witnesses to pay for the renewal of each license.
