Water is HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, JUNE 23rd, 1955 - --------- --- Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year Vol 51; No. 16 Quick Action Saves Local Child From Drowning at Beach Haileybury has for three years been free of a drowning tragedy and this week - Water Safety Week began on June 19th and ends on June 25th. The Red Cross issued pamphelts to every school child on water safety, and it is up to each and every= one of us to help teach our child- ren the rights and wrongs of that great summer sport oO swimming. We are indeed fortunate to have the Rotary Club and the Recreation Committee provide girls for supervised reacreation at the Rotary Park and the swimming instructors at © the beach. We speak of the precautions of swimming because what might have been a tragic acci- dent was averted by the quick action of Mrs. Nesl McAulay Jr. Last Saturday morning while sitting on the beach, she noticed a child floundering in the wa- ter, after having fallen off the breakwater. Mrs. McAulay drew the attention of two other wo- men there, Mrs. A. L- Berry and Mrs. F.K. McKenna, but as none of them could swim and couldn't reach the child otherwise, ow- ing to the depth of the water, they called some boys who were there playing and one lad, Eu- gene Thisdelle, swam out and brought the child in. The youngster is the _ five- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Scully This should be a _ lesson to those parents who allow their children to go to the water with- out some older person in atten- dance and especially the break very dangerous, as the boards get very slippery with the waves washing over them.

Temiskaming Healt Unit Provides Many Necessary Services tOLIO VACCINE lhe recent announcement that Salix polio vaccine gave a high degree of protection against this disease, is most wel- come news. The Ontario De- partment of Health made avail- able sufficient vaccine to immu- nize the pupils of Grades 1 and 2. The Haileybury children in these classes received their first injection in, April 19. The sec- ond dose was given on May 17, with the third to follow about gevfen months later. We have been advised by the Ontario De- partment that a further supply of this vaccine will be made available to do pupils in Grade 3. These injections will be given in May and June. As more vaccine is released, additional pupils recommended by the Provincial Department, will be immunized: but it is doubtful if this supply of vaccine can be obtained before the end of the present school term. COMMUNICABLE DISEASES It is probable that most peo- ple are not aware of Section 55 of the Public Health Act, Sta- futes of Ontario. This section states that whenever any nouse- holder knows, or has reason to suspect, that any person within his family has a communicable disease, he will, within 12 hours, five notice to the Health Unit. Ifadoctor is in attendance, he usually reports the case. How- ever, a doctor is a very busy in- @ vidual and this may escape his wiemory. Thus, the obligation to report a case rests with the householder. The Health Unit asks your co-operation in the y porting of cases of communi- cible disease. ~The quaranfine jeriod, which is fixed for each ease hy the Provincial Department of Health, is usualy much shorter than most people suspect. The case can be report- ed by letter or phone to Miss Rice, the nurse in Haileybury ot the district office of Health Unit in New Liskeard DRINKING WATER This is the time of year when all of us are making plans and eagerly looking forward to sum- mer holidays. Maybe we are planning a motor trip or think- ing of what we will do at a sum- mer cottage or camp. Now is the time to make sure that the drinking water at the cottage is safe. This can be very easily done by submitting a sample of water to the Provincial Labora- tory. The samples should be sub- mitted in the sterile bottles pro- vided by the Laboratory for this purpose. These bottles can be obtained from the Health Unit Typhoid fever is still a menace. The germ my be car- ried in water. Recently, there has beenacase of typhoid in this district. There are two methods of making water safe for drinking. The first is by boiling which is inconvenient and atca changes the taste of water. The second method is much simpler. A small chlorinating outfit can be obtain- ed from the Provinivia: Cepart- ment of Health, Parliament Buil- dings, Toronto, for 75c. By means of this solution, pails of water can be chlorinated and made safe for drinking. crippling In 1929 fully - manufactured goods accounted for 42.7 per cent of Canadian exports, as compared to 38.9 per cent in 1953.

Urgent Notice To the Citizens of Haileybury Owing to the prolonged heat and dryness of the present season, it has become the habit of too many residents of the Town to make extensive use of their lawn sprinklers. This has resulted in a tremendous waste of water which jis gravely interfering with the water pressure throughout the Town and is making it impossible for many people in various parts ol the Town to obtain water for domestic purposes. This practice also reduces the water reserve in the Town Reservoir, and adds to the menace of fire. The practice of sprinkling lawns except dur- ing the permitted hours morning and the same between 6 and 9 in the hours in the evening is strictly 'forbidden by the Town's By-Law and warning is hereby given that those breaking the law are liable to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
