Every Home Affected By Trhorough Work County Health Unit Medical Off icers assisted by staff nurses did 224 physical examina- tions of séhool children during Decembei, Dr. C. W. MacCharles, Senior Medicai Officer of Heaith stated in su'bmitting the report to the Board of Health Counties Un- it, on January 9. In general the program i$ that children in the first and eighth grades are given an examination, but in rural schools the seventh grade is usually includecl and in some special cases other childrren up to the maximum number that can be clone in one visit. The nurse as a rule makes a prepara- tory visit to the schooi at which time she takes the height and weight of the chiidren and does vision andý hearing tests. She leaves consent cards for those chul- diren who are to be examined and the teacher sends these home for the parents to sign if they wish the childiren to have an examina- tion. Only those children are ex- amined whose parents sign the re- quest card and the parents are in- vited to be present. At the time of the mediical ex- amination the nurse as well as the Medical Officer has an opportun- ity for a conference with the par- ents who are present. Examina- tions of school children are found to be much more valuable when the parents are present. Any de- fects discovered or probiems en- countered are discussed* with the parents and they are advised about conguiting the famiiy doc- tor or dentist regardîng any de- fects noted. In addition a complete inspec- tion by the nurse was given to 98 children and a less complete in- dividual inspection to 175 child-" ren.- In 15 classrooms the chid-. ren were given a rapid' inspeètion by the nurse for signs of com- municable disease, 9 chiidren were excluded because of pediculosis or skin disease and 2 because of communicable disease. A total of 135 school age chiidren were vis- ited at home by nurses to confer with parents concerning their health. Communicable Disease and Immunization There was no serious outbreak of communicable disease during * December, 56 cases were reported of which 31 were chicken pox and 13 red measies. During, Decem- ber 20 immunization clinics were held but due to the school holi- days the total number of immuniz- ations completed was flot as large as in November. A course of 3 doses for the pràtection against diphtheria was completed in 88 cases and 307 vaccinations against smalipox were done. Tuberculosis Control Public Health Nurses made 19 home visits to, cases of tuberculo- sis and contacts. Arrangements have been made for Dr. Brearley to hold a travelling chest X-ray clinic in Port Hope on Jan. 14-16. Monthly chest X-ray clinics at Cobourg General Hospital will be continued. Sanitation The general inspection of schools was continued during the month, when 22 schools were reported on. This inspection has to do with the structure, lighting, venti- lation, and the provision of sat- isfactory water supplies and ade- quite sanitary conveniences and sewage disposai in schools. Many lighting tests have been made during these surveys and in many cases the school lighting was con- sidered to be deficient. The detailed, inspection of res- taurants in connection with li- censing under the new by-law was continued during the month when 36 premises were reported on and ail known restaurants and other eating places requiring im- mediate licensinê have now been inspected. During the month 39 pasteuriz- ed milk samples were collected for analysis. Samples of water Few er Interruptions!

It was the beginning of a nation wide movement that has donc much ta inspire the recent Canadian Citizenship Act.
