- PAGE SIXTEEN TH~ CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILf1E, ONTARIO THURSDAY, APRIL lBth, 1946 Dairies and Restaurants Inspected Each Month by County Health Unit During the month of March, Sanitary Inspectors of the Health Unit have laid special emphasis on the inspection of milk pasteur- izing plants throughout the Un- ited Counties, it was reported at the meeting of the Board of Health on April 10th. All dairies are inspected at least once a month and samples of milk and cream collected for laboratory ex- amination. Many owners of pas- teurizing plants have been handi- capped during the war years by lack of staff and delay in securing certain items of equipment. Af- ter inspection of the pasteurizing plant and a review of the results of the laboratory tests, any prob- lems involved are discussed with the owners or operators of the plants with a view to assisting in solving any difficulties. The in- spection of dairy farms supplying the pasteurizing plants has been started. All the farms supplying five of the dairies have been in- spected and some of the shippers to the other dairies. Inspection of restaurants have been continued and gratifying im- provements have been noted in many'cases. The purpose of these inspections is to advise and offer suggestions regarding improve- ments in methods of handling food, cleaning of equipment and improvements in general sanita- tion. The rather complex problems associated with municipal garbage collection and disposal have been the subject of investigation also. Communicable Disease Two cases of diphtheria were reported during the month. There has apparently been an increase in the number of cases of diph- theria reported in Ontario this year, but these are the first cases reported in the Unit area. It is hoped that the program of immu- nization against diphtheria being carried out throughout the Unit area will ward off any serious outbreak during the coming months. There was an increase in the number of cases of measles re- ported, with 60 cases in March as opposed to 46 in February. The incidence of chicken-pox was al- so higher in March, with 45 cases as compared with 29 in February. One case of undulent fever was reported. There were no deaths from communicable disease reported TIME TABLE CHANGES Effective Sunday, April 28, 1946 and other specific dates. Full information from Agent Canadian National during March. Immunization Health Unit medical officers and staff nurses held 100 immun- ization clinics and completed the three inoculations of diphtheria toxoid in 299 children of school and pre-school ages, and gave 767 re-enforcing doses making a total of 1,066 for March and 2,589 for the first three months of the year. The three doses of combin- ed whooping cough vaccine and diphtheria toxoid was completed among 73 pre-school children and infants. Altogether 2,187 inocu- lation doses were given during March. Vaccinations against smallpox in March totalled 776, and for the first three months of the year 2,306. . Nursing Service The nursing staff of the Health Unit, at present numbering eight, spent most of their time prepar- ing for and helping with immun- izations and vaccinations. A careful record is kept for each in- dividual child. In this part of the work, as well as at the im- munization clinics, women of the various communities in the two counties have given much valu- able assistance on a volunteer ba- sis, in one case even preparing a notable picnic lunch for the med- ical officer and nurse. Nurses made 511 home visits during the month, of which 50 were made to crippled children, in company with a representative of the Ontario Society for Crip- pled Children. Thirty-one visits were made as follow-up on tuber- culosis cases. In 90 school visits 319 children were given a complete physical inspection; 100 were given a vis- ion test only; 220 were given par- tial physical inspection. There were 95 conferences with princi- pals or teachers about health problems in schools. Tuberculosis Control The offices of the Health Unit at Bowmanville were used for the travelling chest clinic held by Dr. Brearley of the Provincial De- partment of Health during March. The Health Unit has continued to give assistance to the mass chest X-ray surveyi being spon- sored by the service Clubs, and office space for the clerical work- ers has been provided in the Unit headquarters at Cobourg and the Unit office at Campbellford. Staff The shortage of staff nurses continues to be a handicap. Mr. J. D. Finlayson, until re- cently with the R.C.A.F., joined the staff of the Health Unit as Sanitary Inspector/at the begin- ning of March. Mr. Finlayson is a former student of Guelph Agri- cultural College and holds the certificate of C.S.I. (Canada). One of the illusions is that the present hour is not the critical decisive hiour.-Emerson. WANTED Live Hens and Broilers We Sell Direct to the Consumer and can pay you more for Live Poultry.

National Holidays May Again Be Observed State Secretary Paul Martin paused long enough in the House where he is piloting through his new Citizenship Bill, to announce that Canadians can now resume normal observance of their na- tional holidays. The order-in- council of June 7, 1943, which lim- ited the number of statutory hol- idays as a war measure has been repealed. The statutory holidays again on the official list are: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Mon- day, Victoria Day, Dominion Day, Labor Day, Thariksgiving Day and Christmas Day. There will be another to be added so soon as a decision is arrived at after con- sultation with veteran's organiz- ations, namely, the Day of Re- membrance or whatever term is chosen. In the release of this informa- tion there were two things noted by many members. First that July 1st was still referred to as "Dominion Day" in spite of the fact that it was swept into the dis- card and "Canada Day" substitut- ed by the recent, overriding insis- tence of government supporters. Second, the farmer members, not- ing that Labor Day is still official, wonder why there cannot be a Farmer's Day. To those leaning on the sus- taining infinite, today is big with blessings.-Mary Baker Eddy. MOVING WEST M.

F. Jamieson Tire Depot - Bowmanville Hello homemakers! My next door neighbor is a good housekeep- er even if she doesn't like house- work. Her house is well kept; her work is well planned; her kitchen is so arranged and equipped to make work easy. Mrs. T. herself is a fast, efficient worker, but she doesn't believe in spending all her time doing work she dislikes, so she has worked out a plan for managing housekeeping so that it doesn't manage her! Take a Tip From Mrs. T.: She does not dawdle over or postpone chores she dreads-gets them out of the way as quickly as possible. Preferring to do such things as washing and ironing on Monday and Tuesday makes the job so automatic that she is free to think of other things while doing the laundry. Like many homemakers, she en- joys flowers. Thus she spends one or two hours in the garden, wea- ther permitting, which makes her position as homemaker enviable. If she gets downhearted the radio is moved to the work area to keep her entertained. Special cleaning jobs-the sil- ver, paint, windows, etc., are tire- some for many people. Mrs. T. tries the news cleansers and keeps a cleaning box with clean cloths and equipment ready. Housecleaning at her house is a regular routine: the windows, pic- tures and mirrors in one room are done thoroughly one week; in the next room the next week; and window curtains, metal trim and all ornaments are cleaned regu- larly before they begin to look badly. Care of Vacuum Cleaner 1. Never pick up tacks, pins or other hard or sharp objects with your cleaner. 2. Empty the bag frequently- a clean dust container gives bet- ter suction; therefore better clean- ng. 3. Keep brushes free from hair and threads. 4. If your cleaner is a brush type machine, adjust brushes to correct position. 5. If brush still does not work, check the belt. If too loose, re- place with a new one. 6. Lighten your housework by using the attachments. 7. Don't run cleaner across the cord. Coil cord loosely on hooks when not in use. Make Electrie Cords Last Longer 1. Always connect the cord at the appliance before plugging in. 2. To discoAnect, remove the cord at the outlet by pulling the plug-not the cord itself. 3. Wait until the appliance is cold before winding an attached cord around it. 4. Keep your separate cords coiled loosely in a drawer instead of hanging them on a nail. 5. Repair frayed or damaged cords immediately by cutting off the end and re-attaching the plug correctly. Protection of Cords 1. Heat and strong sunlight tend to destroy the insulation, so keep the cords away from radia- tors and never wrap the cord around a hot appliance. 2. Rubbing, pinching in doors, walking on cords, dragging fur- niture over them-anything that frays the outer covering will soon- er or later damage the insulation. 3. Dampness is hard on insula- tion. Keep cords out o4 water or places where they will be con- tinually splashed. Don't touch them with wet hands. 4. Kinking, twisting, knotting and yanking breaks wires. Al- ways keep cords loose or tacked with protective staples. The Question Box Mrs. M. W. asks: Why do cook- ies sometimes burn on the bottom before they brown on top? Answer: Cookies baked in too deep a pan may burn on the bot- tom and not brown on the top because the heat cannot circulate around them. Cookie sheets must not be so large in proportion to the size of the oven that they in- terfere with the proper circula- tion of heat. Mrs. P. R. asks: Do granite ba- sins absorb heat more quickly than aluminum baking dishes. Answer: Bright aluminum pans reflect some heat and require more heat than those of granite, glass- ware or cast iron. Mrs. S. T. asks: Why are dump- lings soggy on the outside but light inside? Answer: There may not be .suf- ficient liquid for the batter to be immersed in. Use about 2½/ cups of stock in a 2 quart saucepan with a tight fitting cover.
