I'WTTRSnAY. TAN. !Rth. 1@MS ?FT~ CANADIA!~ STATESMA~. EOWMANV!LLE. ONTARTO PÂG~ THREU Coun fies' Health Unit Asks for $ 3,200 Boost To Retain Basic Staff Dr. Charlotte Harner, M.O.H. for Northumberland and Dur- ham, presented her report ta the United Counties Council >esterday and requested an in- crease of $3,200 ta bring up the grant ta $48,700 for 1956. The Provincial Department af H e a 1 t h matches whatever amount is given by the Coun- ties. In outlining the wark of the liealth Unit the doctor pointe] out that should the increase ke withheld it would mean "ýit will become necessary for us ta decrease aur staff by three public health nurses, clinie nurses, and clerical staff, who are on the 100 per cent fed- eral grant, as well 'as by pas- sibly one public health nurse and one sanitary inspector wh, -,re on base line staff, 50 per tent of whose exp.-nses arc paid by the Caunties. This would give us an averali re- ciuction of staff for this year of a minimum of four public health nurses, clinie nurses, one sanitary inspectar and clerical staff." Dr. Harner considered it ab- viaus that such a decrea--e would curtail "a programme which has been built up and developed over a period ai ten years." She pointed out that this could have repercussians ý.-s "the public have came ta ac- cept the services we have been able ta aifer." Repeating her annual plea for healtb education she nated that much of the unit's work was prevention, which in its nature produced no dramatic results and therefore passei unnoted by the public. Growth in the Caunties de- manded the increase said the M.O.H. "In 1955 aur base line was increased from three sani- tary inspectors ta four, and from twelve public health nur- ses ta 13. For 1956 aur base line bas been increased by the addition af one haîf-time mem- ber ta aur former clerical staff of three, and by the services for two bahf days af another doctor in addition ta the two medical officers of health. Dr. Hltrner said the increa-ý1 was due ta increased popula- tion. Campbellford Reeve Elected Warden of The United Coun fies The highlîght af first sessionl in January af the Unitcd Coun- ties of Northumberland and Durham is the election af a Warden for the coming year. According ta an unwritten la\v of long standing it is unde- stood that this honor alternates by electing a Warden fron- Durham one year and North-ý umberland the next year. lt was the latter's turn for 195.1 and Reeve Dauglas Maybee, 44, of Campbellford, was crawn- ed with the gawn and cap. The new warden was eleet- ed when the counties clerk in- voked a sectian of the Act which provides that when a tie exists the reeve of the munici- pality with the highest assess- ment ca ncast the deciding vote. It was an the faurth bal- lot with Reeve Maybee hold- ing 24 votes; Reeve George Gummer of Cramahe tawnship, 14; Reeve R. Bothwell af South Monaghan, 8, and Reeve 0. J. Robins ai Alnwick township, 2. The total of the opposing votes of Reeve Maybe&'s opponents was 24 and the deciding vote was cast by Reeve Charlie Jahnston of Cobourg. Old timn- ýrs do flot recail this accurring lefore, but a contributing fac- hor was the absence througflh ofx~a J. H. Morrow, reeve cf Ewighton. A roar of laughter went through council during the ral caîl. First man on the list, Reeve Argue af Manvers, had his mind on the warden's elec- tion and instead ai calling oat "'present" uttered the word '"Maybee." He quickly corrected himself but flot before council had a good laugh out of it. The nomination af Maybee was sponsored by Reeve G. Phillips of Part Hope and De- puty-Reeve F. M. Rutherford of Campbellford. Reeve Robins' nomination wvas sponsored by Reeve M. Sandercock of Hamilton town- ship and Reeve J. T. Brown of Clarke township. Mover and seconder of Reeve Bothwell's nomination were Reeve G. F. Harringtan ai Millbroak and Reeve C. Johnston of Cobourg. The nomination ai Reeve Gum- mer was by Deputy-Reeve D.

The new warden, iollowingc his election, thanked 1-tis sup- porters and assured the couti- 'cil that he would co-operate in every way for the general good Douglas Maybee oi the two counties. He declar- ed that there was a challenge facing every member af the present counicil and councils ta came ta meet the problems oi development which would came with the new scaway. Warden Maybee, was congra- tulated by bis opponents in tbe election, al ai wham asserted fhey would work witb him fur the generai gaad ai the coun- tics. Warden Maybee's wife, the former Georgina Davidson ai Campbelliord, was calcd ta the platform ta sit beside ber bus- band. Mrs. Maybee is the dau- gbtcr ai the ate Charles Da- vidsan ai Campbelliord, who was warden in 1928. Ex-wardens who cangratu- lated the new warden were George Hooten, Harry Camp- bell, Herman Morrow, Milton Elliott, Reg. McCann, Norman Green, Hartley Lowcry, Alan Beer.

The occurrence was brougbt ta lighit last week at the Counties Couin- cil sitting when a delegation ai the West Northumberland Women's Institute backed up its resolutian asking for a new Counties Home. "No one wants ta live with a corpse overnight and a day,"' said Mrs. A. Caînan, Graiton, aiter she had described condi- tions as sbe had faund them on a visit ta the home. With deep feeling the tiny waman added, "when there is overcrowding ta tbis extent something must be done." The statement was sbocking because if was made withaut any hysterical demands or con- demnation.-If wasn't presented for its dramatic efiect, it mere- ly followed a recitation af facts. Miss W.
