Three boats tied along the board slip at the water front, and depriving other people of docking facilities, The Clark was instructed to .write Mr. Bennett, Suptg.

That conditions at the dump are very unsatisfactory due to people starting it on fire each week end. - It was stated that plans are under way, to fence off, the roadway to the dump, cover the garbage if found ne- cessary, each week and to appoint a caretaker for the dump. 4. Changing the Village of Port Perry to the Town of Port Perry. The Clark explained that a village in a county may be raised to a town status if it has a population of at least 2,000 and an area of at least 700 acres. Apart from the prestige of being a town there are few advantages to be gained as most of the grants are based on, either population or assessment, although there are some by-laws that a town council may pass which a vil- lage has no power to do. The great- est change is in the composition of the council, Where a town has at popula- tion of not more than 65,000, the coun- cil shall be composed of a mayor, a reeve, a deputy reeve and four or six councillors to be elected by a general vote,--Municipal Act, section 51(8). The Clerk was instructed to write Dept. of Municipal Affairs for further information when changing a village to a'town status. . Mr. Griffén asked if there is any- thing that Council would like the Chamber of Commerce to do. ) Council stated that they would like to see the Chamber of Commerce put forth a real genuine effort-to-improve Lake Scugog, by organizing the var- fous municipalities and clubs so as to be able to approach the Federal Gov- ernment with a little weight. .

Try these two lawn-watering tips suggested by horticultural specialists of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, They may lessen that "Brown. ing-off" that so often occurs in our lawns. Soak your lawn. Water has to penetrate several inches to be effec- tive. If your lawn gets a sparse a- mount of water, grass roots grow to- wards the surface. This just makes them easier game for the hot, Mid- day sun. What's more, shallow-root- ed weeds thrive under such conditions . insufficient watering does more harm than good. ® How can you determine if the lawn is soaked? . . . Place a pan in the area to be watered. When one to one- and-a-half inches of water shows in the pan, you have applied enough. Areas such as steep slopes and ter- races can be given a finer spray, be- cause absorption here is always slow- er. Lawning extras: I If regulations permit, it is perfect- ly safe to water your lawn in mid- day. Sun injury on a freshly-water- ed lawn only occurs on poorly drained, compact soil. The main disadvantage in watering when the sun is high lies in the loss of. water due to increased evaporation. Many gardeners will be relieved to know that good, established turf can undergo considerable browning and still recover in the moist, cool, fall weather, Graduates Barbara Grace Love, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Clifford Love, of Port Perry, Ontario, graduated, recent- ly, at University of Western Ontario, London. Miss Love attained second class honours in the Bachelor of Arts course; was a. member of the Western Intercollegiate Swim Team for three years and also secretary of the Wom- en's Athletic Association.

Jr The Hon.' Dr. M. B, Dymond, Ont. Minister of Healthy bloat greetings to the Annual Meeting of the Ontario County-Oshawa Tuberculosis Associa- tion, held recently in Oshawa. He told the audience of over two hun- dred, that he was concerned about the attitude of so many people in thinking that tuberculosis is a conquered dis- ease and said that 'while advances have been made in the length of the recovery period, tuberculosis has not been conquered by any means. He complimented the Association for the splendid work they are doing. Dr. W. E. MacBean, M.O.H,, Ont. County Health Unit, thanked the As- sociation for the excellent co-opera- tion and assistance given to their or- | ganization, ° Many guests were present, includ- ing Medical Superintendents from TB Sanatorig; Mr. T, D. Thomas, M.P.P.; Mayor Lyman: Gifford, Oshawa, and several staff miembers of the Ontario Department of Health and Gage In- stitute Chest Clinic, Toronto. Dr. C. W. L. Jeanes, Canadian Tu- berculosis Association, was the guest speaker who, in giving statistics for the Dominion, stated that over 11,000 patients were admitted to Sanatoria Jin 1958; 7,400 beirig new cases of TB while the remainder were re-admis- sions. He stressed the pattern change In tuberculosis -- more older persons are getting TB than in past years, This is one of our special tasks be- cause older people are less likely to attend mass surveys and, since if the danger is not realized, the result is often infection of young children. Dr. Jeanes listed the five points he felt were essential in our task of eradi- cating tuberculosis: *- case finding, health education, rehabilitation, social service and medical research. It is estimated at the present time that 40,000 patients are getting treatment. The annual reports of Mrs. E. A. Collins, Executive Secretary and the Committee Chairmen, showed a very extensive program had been carried out. It was noted there were over '100,- 000 former TB patients in Canada and that about one Canadian in 170 has had sanatorium treatment. Appre- ciation was expressed by the secre- tary to the Public Health Nurses in the county for their excellent co-op- eration, ___ Dr. R. J. Kimmerly, in his report, mentioned the skintestimg- program- me being carried out among school children, stating that by continuing these surveys regularly, it was easy to discover TB at the optimum time, early in the disease, when the chance of early -.cure is greatest and before the germ has been passed on to other healthy persons. The Health Education report show- ed that TB educational material had been distributed to hospitals, doctors' offices, schools, public health nurses, chest clinics, organiztions and indus- tries, et cetera. Mr. T. M. Moore, chairman, stated that films and a speaker were available to any group desiring them, if they would contact the Association, At the moment, approximately 55 patients from Ontario County are in Sanatoria, where regular visits are made by the Association, and assist- ance given in rehabilitation upon dis- charge. The sale of Christmas Seals is our only source of revenue, stated Mr. D. | L. Crozier, who stressed the need for funds in order to carry out an ex- tended programme. The President, Mr, G. A. Pearce paid special tribute to the secretary and the splendid co-operation from the directors and the host of volun- teers, from the medical profession, service organizations and civic minded citizens.

McMahon, Whitby How's Your Hearing? It may not be as good as you think. An estimated one of every twenty Canadians--760,000 in all--have hear- ing defects serious enough to handi- cap them in business and personal life. Beginning tomorrow, residents of the Port Perry area will have an op- portunity to check the effectiveness of their hearing. Free tests will be given at a "hearing clinic" in the Emmerson Motel, from 9.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. This is to be the first of the monthly consultation clinics being inaugurated here by the Beltone Hearing Service, which serves Central Ontario with headquarters in Toronto. The clinics will be conducted by Mr, Robert Os- trosser, an experienced audiometer operator and hearing aid consultant. The purpose of these monthly clinica is twofold, Mr. Ostrosser aid: to give free hearing tests and to provide a complete and convenient service for hearing aid users in this area. Peri- odic hearing tests are recommended by health authorities for those who think their hearing is normal as well as those who have a defect. "Many persons are hard of hearing and don't realize it," Dr. Mackinnon Phillips of Owen Sound, former Ont- ario Health Minister, has pointed out. "Routine hearing tests are particu- larly important because hearing loss, like so many other things, should be detected early in order to have the best chance of being corrected." The test is made with an intricate instrument called an audiometer. The subject dons earphones and listens for tones of varying pitch and loud- ness. From his response, Mr. Os- trosser charts his hearing acuity. Those who attend the first Beltone clinic tomorrow will be given a free booklet 'Sound Advicé for Better Hearing". It takes a woman every time--even to intrpdiice the custom of honouring father. According to The World World Book Encyclopedia, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd of Spokane, Wash., started Father's Day in 1910.
