Simester Addresses Workers As Drive Launched "Keep the pressure on; keep the heat on until these things which could destroy the kind of life we want in Oshawa is eliminated.

Simester, of the Salvation Army, principal speaker last night at a dinner given three hundred Community Chest Workers by W. A. Wecker, President, General Motors of Canada.

A dramatic speaker, Major Simester, who form- erly was Salvation Army officer in Oshawa, advanced the merits of the various organizations participating | in the chest. Particularly was he interested that those organizations which did work among the youth of the community. "Long ago I became convinced," he said, "that our children need more than our prayers and good wishes. I challenge you good citi- zens-to study the so-called comics that our children read. I am think- ing in terms of subversive influ- ences which would undo all the good work done. in the home. Close Check On Movies "Keep a close watch on the mov- fes your children see," Major Sime- ster continued. "Be sure the spread of the liquor traffic does not under- mine your work. When the time comes to fight for the sanctity of the Sabbath remember that when you speak of the Church and what it is doing the Church means you and you and me." : - Among those at the head table were Rev.

CHEST WORKERS (Continued on Page 2) Chest Executive From Boston At Chest Dinner A keenly interested listener at the Community Chest dinner last night in the Genosha Hotel was Mrs. Frank J. Dermody, executive secretary of the Com- munity Chest in the Needham County division of Greater Boston, where a similar cam- paign to that in Oshawa is now going on. Mrs. Dermody, passing through Oshawa, was staying at the Genosha Hotel, and while at dinner, learned that a Com- munity Chest meeting was tak- ing place. She expressed a keen desire to listen to the speeches saying "Perhaps I can pick up some ideas to take home with ._me to Moston." She was accommodated with a seat, and listened with keen interest to the messages of the several speakers. She remarked that she was greatly impressed with the apparent spirit of enthusiasm which permeated the large gathering. Ask Facilities For Diagnosis, Treatment. Sub-Normal Children In moving adoption of the Sep- || tember report of Nursing Inspector Miss G. H. Tucker at last night's Board of Health meeting, Medical Officer of Health Dr. A. F. Mackay called attention to the need for proper facilities for diagnosis and treatment of children with delayed mental development. "We have no proper facilities for examination of these children," said Dr. Mackay. "Many of them are suf- fering from maladjustments and home difficulties which cause them to lag behind or lose interest in their schoolwork, while some have not developed sufficiently enough to do their work." 10 Per Cent Should Be Examined "Ten percent of our school child- ren should be examined to find what is hampering the progress they should be making in their school life," he said. "Often the trouble can be. cleared up easily but in some cases skilled treatment and diagnosis is necessary." The members of the Board of Health authorized Dr. Mackay to investigate the cost of such an in- quiry, and to report tie possibility of obtaining assistance from Toronto in the near future. Dr. Mackay also described the new system of immunization which has been operating in Osh- awa's schools since last June. The new system provides protec- tion against both whooping cough and gliphtheria. It consists of four spaced injections of concentrated serum, given over a period of nine months. Only half of the former quantity is used, due to the con- ASK FACILITIES (Continued on Page 2) NET PAID CIRCULATION The Times-Gazette Average Per Issue September 1942 8,592 City Continues Above Power Quota "The situation is bad.

Storm Sewer For Northway Court | Asked 'The Board of Health, at their re- gular monthly meeting, last night recommended the construction of a special storm sewer to serve the res- idents of the Northway Court area. The agreement for construction of the sewer is to be drawn up with the Township of East Whitby, in Jhlen the Northway Court project ies. The authority for the construc- tion of the sewer had previously been held up because of fears that it might be used for household waste water, such as laundry water. However, the Board of Health, after stipulating that the sewer was to be used for storm water only, agreed to its construction. The proposed sewer will eppty into a creek ra- ther than into the usual sewage dis- posal system. The possibility of a further chest x-ray survey throughout the whole of Oshawa was also discussed by the Board. The National Tuber- culosis Prevention Association of Toronto had proposed that a survey should be held in the city in 1949, but several of the members of the board were of the opinion that an- other complete survey would not be necessary, since a complete check- up had been made in 1947. In addition to this, there are regular. x-ray services provided by many of Oshawa's prominent industries, and tests for tuberculosis are made re- gularly in all of Oshawa's schools. With regard to the proposed sur- vey, Medical Officer of Health, Dr. A. F. Mackay was instructed to conler fuiller with ihe Association 'with regard to the necessity of a new test and the benefits to be Oshawa--A Good Place To Live : A Message From The Chairman Today we commence our Eighth Community Chest Campaign and starting on their rounds are over 500 voluntary canvassers who have accepted the responsi- bility of telling the Chest story to you, our Oshawa fellow citizens.
