ELECTED EXPECT DREW TO FORM GOVERNMENT1 Commendable Work By Public Health Nurse Sliown UIn Her Report A review and summary of the activities of Miss L. E. Taylor, Public Health Nurse, during the past six months, as contained in the following report, gives cîti- zens an impressive picture of the importance of this branch of our Public Health Department. Bow- manville has long since become known throughout Ontario as one of the healthiest towns in the province. This desirable condi- tion is due in a large part to the advance health program adopted by the municipality years ago and the wholehearted co-operation of the local physicians, nurses, Board of Education and Hospital Board. The Public Health Nurse's report for the first six months of 1943 follows: Familles visited --- -- -143 Visits made 350 Visits classified: Babies - ------ --- 28 Pre-school --------- -- 12 School -- - -------------- 142 A du it ---------------- 71 T .B .- - - - -- - - - - -- - - - - - 2 Acute communicable - - 57 Re immunization ----_-l---1 Social welfare ------- ---- 27 School Activities First Aid or Dressings --- 502 Class room inspections ------384 Special physical inspections -_152 V ision tests ----------------- 280 Children with new defects ---l1 Children for observation -----25 New defects corrected --- ---5 Old defects corrected (defects noted before 1943) --------15 Number o! children with new dental defects (since Jan., 1943)...................---- - ---- 69 Corrections of new dental de- fects - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - 12 Corrections of old dental de- fe cts -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 Sent home because if illness in school ----------------- 17 Sent home because of having a communicable disease in school.....................----------14 No. o! children given special physical inspection before beginning school in Sept. __71 Child Health Conference C llnic days --------- ------------ 22 Babies attended ------------- 31 Visits m acle ------------------ 106 High School In March, 1943, a health ser- vice was begun in our High School.

Horn left Port Hope last week to take up the position of manager of the new refinery of the International Rare Metals Corporation, New York, which is affiliated w it h the Canadian Radium and Uranium Corpora- tion.

IH DURHAM COUNT Liberal Covemment Is Defeated Drew Likely To Head -Coalition CCF Shows Remarkable Strength ELECED N DUHAMReturns are incomplete both in ELECED N DUHAM Durham and the province at large. As we go to press the latest figures give Dr. Percy Vivian, Progressive Conservative, a ma- jority of 195 in Durham County. The party standing gives Pro-. gressive Conservative 38, C.C.F. 33, Liberal 14, Labour 2, Inde- pendent 1. This indicates a coali- tion government of Progressive Conservatives with George Drew as Premier. The general resuit is surprising in many respects. The Liberals had 63 seats in the last Legisia- ture, the Conservatives 23, and the C.C.F. none. The Liberal de- feat in the Province became a rout as seven Liberal Ministers- Dewan, Kirby, Cross, Heenan, Hipel, Houck and McQuestin were defeated. The C.C.F. has shown the trend of unrest among labour. C.IO. districts were emphatic in their support of Socialism. MI In Durham, Mr. Bowles polled 2270 votes or 21 per cent of the total vote, a gain of 837 over that polled by Miss Cotton who ran ln 1934 as a C.C.F. Over 1100 votes for Bowles came from the indus- trial centres. The total vote ln 1937 was 13,752. Yeserday, the total was 10,794, a loss of 2,958. Dr. R. P.

Activities began soon after 10.30 in the morning with ail the kiddies on hand to compete in the sand-castle building contest. The works indicated there might be budding architects in the group. An interesting feature of the day was the dingy race from Osh- awa to Bowmanville. The par- ticipants were members of the Oshawa Yacht Club and for three years in succession the Commo- dore of the club has won the prize donated by Glen Rae Dairy and Cold Springs Beverages o!
