4 - ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WED., APRIL 25th, 1973 Village plans asphalt sidewalks to $10,000. The Orono'Police Trustees at their meeting on Monday evening passed a motion to spend in the neighbourhood of $10,000.00 to r?pair and con- struct new sidewalks in the village of Orono this year. The work would include about 4,000 lineal feet of repair work and 1,100 feet of new sidewalk. The new construct- ion would be carried out on Division Street from where a petition was received asking for a sidewalk. Mr. D. Simpson stated that not everyone on the street was in favour of a new walk on Division Street. R. Forrester stated it appeared that the majority had signed for the walk and that in fact it would be built on Village property. The Division street walk was included in the works with a total cost of $3,135.00. The Trustees decided to use asphalt rather than cement. This practice has been under- taken in other centres with the cost being half for new walks and a fifth for repairs. The contract for the work is to be let to Bennett Paving of Oshawa. ONTARIO ihiDRO-CUPE LOCAL 1000 ARBITRATION AWARD ANNOUNCED The final chapter of a four-month strike against Ont- ario Hydro last summer was written this week when the Arbitration Board acting in the dispute handed down its award. Headed by Robert Mackay, Dean of Law at the University of Western Ontario, the Board awarded the 12,000 members of Local 1000 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees wage and salary increases of 22 per cent over three years. SEA LAMPREY CONTROL STARTS NEXT WEEK The staff of the sea lamprey control centre at Sault Ste. Marie will begin treatment in Darlington Provincial Park next week. The 19-man staff, working under the fisheries branch of the ministry of the environ- ment, will give streams in the area and as far east as Shannonville routine doses of lampricide. The liquid • chemical is designed to decrease the number of lampreys which destroy large fish such as cohoe salmon and trout. All 23 known streams con- taining sea lamprey on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario were treated for the first time in 1972 and normally would not be treated again until 1976. However the treatmentqwill be carried out again to destory any lamprey that survived the initial does. Later this year the centre will treat 10 streams on Lake Superior and seven streams on Lake Huron. In New York state it will also treat eight Lake Ontario streams which were treated last year by the United States bureau of sportfish and wild- life. The increases to all but a handful of employees will be a retroactive increase to eight per cent in the first year ended March 31, 1973; and seven per cent in each of the years ending March 31, 1974 and Marc h 31, 1975.

COUNTY VD PICTURE NEEDS QUICK ACTION It isn't a pretty picture, but it can't be conveniently swept under the rug because it offends our sensibilities - venereal diseases are spread- ing at 'an uncontrolled and alarming rate across Ontario County. Dr. C.C. Stewart, medical officer of health, is authority for the statement. He doesn't mince words as he tries to arouse the county to the seriousness of the increase. The public should heed his warning when he says: "There's a pressing néed to redouble our efforts in at- tempting to achieve the con- trol of venereal diseases. These efforts must be made wholeheartedly on the part of the citizen, patient, health worker, physician and health unit personnel alike." Here are some of the more disturbing aspects of the case- -Gonorrhoea is much more prevalent than syphilis; the incidence of it rose from 57 cases in 1971 to 136 last year foran increase of 138 per cent. The greatest increase in cases is in the, 15 to 21 year old group; -Four cases of syphilis were reported in 1971 as compared with 15 last year for an increase of 275 per cent. Five cases of syphilis and 41 of gonorrhoea were reported in the first three months of this year, but some harsh facts must be faced. The incidence actually is much higher be- cause many people, especially y.oungsters, are reluctant to report the diseases. It would be unwise for the public to remain complacent about these statistics simply because the growing incidence of venereal disease is causing concern around the world (the overall incidence rate for gonorrhoea in the United States has been increasing at an estimated 15 per cent each year). Dr. Stewart - in showing that the increase is confined most- ly to teenagers - has presented the disturbing picture as it is, not as the public would like it to be. He has stressed the need for a venereal diseases diag- nostic and treatment centre and he's hopeful it will be built soon. Surely the politicians will go all out to make the centre a reality instead of a dream with a minimum of delay! The need for such - an outlet has been clearly established. WATCH FOR MECHANIC- AL PROBLEMS IN PIPE+ LINES: -Even if you follow correct pipeline cleaning pro- cedures, problems may arise. Mechanical failures in pipe- lines for example, could hamper cleaning. Here are some things you might check. Air leaking through connect- ing fittings may leave soil around the leak while the rest of the pipe remains clean; couplings may be loosened by vibration; gaskets could get pushed up into the line and interfere with the cleaning solution resulting in some surfaces being untouched; a line section if moved to another position may dribble milk into fittings, thus should be checked after each clean- ing. Hopefully, these few checks could help alleviate any possible problem. O.P.P.

" Doctors C. Gordon Cameron and Ray LaForest - both on the-staff of the Scarborough General Hospital, spoke on Emphysema, Asthma in the Child and in the Adult, and Cystic Fibrosis. They were informative and at times most amusing. The fact that they shared the topics, occasionally voic- ing opposing opinions, added to the value and- interest of the discussion. In the afternoon, the part- icipants were divided into four groups, moving every twenty minutes from one group to another. They discussed Ventilation Equipment, Pre and Post- Operative Chest Physiother- apy, the Uses and Abuses of Oxygen and Pulmonary, Func- tion Testing. The leaders were Mr. Ivor Hewitt and Mrs. Donna Hard- ison of Toronto; Mr. J. Peter Prendiville of Campbellford; Mrs. Janice Heaton of Port Hope and Dr. J. T. Naismith of Peterborough. The sessions were chaired by Miss E. Flaxman, Superin- tendent of Nurses of the Health Unit and Miss Lorette Morel of Ottawa Health Education Consultant with the Canadian TB and Respiratory Disease Association. Quoting a number of the nurses, "the sessions had something of interest for each and every one of us regardless of our area of employment in nursing. It was a real refresh- er course."
