his staff dt 45 at the hfrttontounty health unix a municipality s infant morta lity rate usually gives a true pic ture of the health conditions in hat municipality and halton s is among the lowest on record at present onry 18 out of every 1 000 halton children die during their first year of life compared to the worlds highest of 124 in chili sweden s record low at 17 canada s average of 31 and orrl arios average of 26 the halton death rate is something of which the county s residents may be proud h has dropped sharply from the 34 back in 1947 the year the hearth unit first opened dr bufljhalton s chief medical officer df health credits the medical physicians excellent me dical can and the educational and financial status of our re si dents coupled with this record low mortality rate is the success ol the health unit s primary job the fight to stamp out communl cable disease the fight isn t over yet how ever the biggest barriers have been broken down thanks to a busy immunization program there have been no cases of polio since 1958 and a recent tuber culosis survey showed no cases of this dreaded disease among the county s 28 600 elementary school children the cost of good health is re flected in the county s grants to ward health unit operation over the 15 years since it was first established in 1947 the courrty grant is matched by a provincial grant so that only half the opera ting cost comes from direct toxa tion the first years grant was j2u 000 rising to 24 346 in 19s1 38 894 in i9s6 and 127355 last year during the years 19531957 the countv s population rupidfy doubled necessitating a similar increase in operating costs where does the money go sol nrics of regular staff and part time consultants took u90000 ol the 259 000 spent in 1960 the most recent figures available be cause of he dislanci involved in covering health problems throughout the countv traveling cost 36000 that year while maintenance accounted for 25000 the health unit

immunity built up as good as it can possibly be during 1960 atone the health unit administered over 1 430 ori ginal doses of poho vaccine over 1200 doses of diphtheria and tetanus toxoid aver 2 000 vaccina tions against smallpox and over 500 preschool children s immu ni7ations against whooping cough the primary doses were given by health unit staffers as well as over 13 000 recall doses of vac

polio then the next year the figure fell to six and jumped back up to 29 in 1953 the year 1954 saw four cases and there were seven reported in 1955 the year the vaccine was first used since that lime only fine cases have been reported in halton three in 1956 one each in 1957 and 19ssv and none since in 1957 the year salk vaccine was first available in anv large quantities the health unit sci a recoid tor vaccinations hund reds of needles and prohably a lew staffers were worn out as 28 000 polio shots were given one of the problems facing the health unit is the increase of the life span
