Council W iI Support EncephaIitis The decision of a recent meeting at the Region's De- partment of Health in Oshawa to leave control of encephalitis up to each local municipality under co-ordination of Col. F.S. Wotton of the EMO, appears acceptable to New- castle Council. Council concurred Mar. 15 with a motion of Coun. Ivan Hobbs to advise Dr. Cam Stewart, Medical Health Off- icer, that the town would be willing t participate in such a control program. Coun. Hobbs stressedt is important in a situati this that the town w( conjunction with otherE ing it as being the successful means of trolling the mosquito s disease, should it comet area. Coun.

It was felt advisable to co- ordinate the program for those areas wishing to par- ticipate, hence the recom- mendation that Col.- Wotton assume that task. Coun. Lyall explained to the committee of the whole on Mar. 8 that encephalitis is "a bird borne disease." The early (May) breeders and similarly the summer (Aides) breed are the nui- sance variety known to most of us but are not the carriers of When you save energy you save money. This is what Ontarioisdoing to help you save Your Ontario Government's goal, by 1980, is to reduce by one-third the growth rate of energy consumption in the province. To achieve that, eleven Ministries of your Government aré working together in the Ontario Energy Management Program. The Program has two objectives - to find ways to help you cut your own energy bill, and to find ways of using your province's energy more efficiently. Right now, the Program consists of 70 working projects, including: testing ways to reduce fuel consumption in automobiles and farm operations; improving the heating and cooling systems in government buildings (which has already cut some energy bills by as much as 20%); " finding ways to improve residential natural gas and oil furnace efficiency; " constructing and testing a totally solar-heated home; " reclaiming waste materials to produce energy; " sending an "Energy Bus" throughout Ontario to do on-the-spot analyses for industry (so far, annual energy cost savings averaging 20% have been identified). Practical suggestions on ways you can save energy and money are available from your Ontario Government and from energy-supplying companies.

They stay over winter in house basements and other warm places, laying eggs in late summer in an area where there is no water action. This breed does not require lakes or streams for their breeding which can produce more than one generation per summer. They can breed in any small, quiet pool, including such places as an old tire that is filled with water Prior to laying their eggs, the Culex look for a "blood meal" which they prefer to obtain from birds, not normal- ly being biters of humans. However, as Coun. Lyall explained, conditions in Wind- sor were just right with a great population of Culex which caused a shortage of birds for ail of them and they began to feed from humans. The program, it appears, would be no easy one as the first step involves the map- ping of areas containing possible breeding pools. Coun. Lyall is presently waiting for a sample of such a study which was done by Orillia. Mayor Potticary is reported to have offered the suggestion that college students be used to conduct such a program. The program of extermina- tion would have to be done through spraying which is controlled by the Ministry of the Environment. In that light, Coun. Lyall reports that a representative of the Regional Works Department suggested they would be willing to supervise such an operation but do not have the necessary equipment. It was felt that the local municipal- ities might be able to use their road sprayers. Although the process, using a granular chemical, is re- ported as inexpensive, Coun. Lyall advised the committee that "Windsor spent $100,000 to spray the city but in 36 hours the mossies were back again." He further reported that air spraying is costly and not effective. In the western 'provinces where the problem occurs frequently, Camrose ran the program at 95 cents per capita for a population of 4,000 while Edmonton used aerial spray- ing at $14 per acre. Coun. Lyall insists* that "timing is the key" to proceeding with the necessary steps in order to control the Culex. With birds being the prime carriers (sparrows 100 per cent carriers) the human eventually infected through the bite from a mòsquito requires an incubation period of three weeks to recover, if they make it; Otherwise, death is the result. The department of health has now circulated informa- tion regarding the detection of encephalitis to approximately 300 doctors in the Region. They are to report ail suspect- ed or diagnosed cases to the Board of Health. Coun. Lyall does have one other concern, however, that being that when the situation is boiled down "money is needed and we are ail aware of what the budget situation is.
