By Doug Taylor The possibility of mosqui- toes in the Town of Newcastle becoming infected with Encephalitis is a concern that hit the floor of Committe of the Whole on Monday. Coun. Ken Lyall reported to the committee on the outcome of a meeting at the Depart- ment of Health in Oshawa on Friday. According to a letter re- ceived at the meeting from Dr. Martin of the Provincial HealthaDepartment, the dan- ger area, in view of the possible seriousness in 1976, bas been defined by a line drawn from the top of Toronto to Lambton Township. It has been recommended by the Ontario Ministry of Health that municipalities lying south of the line under- take controlling action with respect to probable encephal- itis infection. Dr. Cameron Stewart advises that as the Region of Durham does not lie within the defined area and there were no cases here in 1975, it is not expected, but not guaranteed, that any will occur in 1976. Dr. Stewart further explains that it was feit at the meeting that the decision on whether or not to engage in a control program is a matter that rests with the local municipalities rather than with the Region.
