This event is held annually on the third Sunday in June, * "When is a water supply safe for drinking and domestic use?" This is a question that is asked frequently, It is'a very real problem for the householder in the small places and in the country, as well as for the vaca- tionist and tourist. To answer this question two suggestions are offered. The first is té have a sample of the water analyzed at one of the labora- tories of the Provincial 'Department of Health, and the 'other is to learn how wells and other water supplies receive pollution, and how they can be protected. The Provincial Department of Health operates laboratories at the following centres: Toronto (main laboratory at Parliament Buildings), London, Peterborough, Kingston, Ot- tawa, Sault Ste. Marie and Fort Wil- liam. Sterile bottles for collection of samples may be obtained from any local health officer or by addressing a request to "The Branch Laboratory, Provincial Department of Health", av any of the above centres.. Full in- formation accompanies the container, Reports on these analyses furnish use- ful information, but it is well to keep in mind that the bacteriological con- tent of water may vary from time to time, and a correct interpretation of the quality can be made only after several samples, taken over a period of time, have been examined. One good analysis does not necessarily mean a safe water at all times. - When water shows contamination it is well to determine the origin of the pollution, and by what channel it reached the supply. This is not diffi- cult when, knowledge on probable sources of contamination is available, Rural water supplies are taken chiefly from shallow dug wells, and these offer the least resistance of any type of drainage and contaminating matter. It is known that the most common portals through which pollu- tion may reach a well are, (a) the top and sides near the surface, and (b) the underground drainage or supply feeding the well, The latter is uncommon except, where, the well is constructed in fissur ed rocks or 'where the ground water is close to the sur- face. : water | foe Pollution of shallow dug wells Rural Water Supplies through the tops and sides is by far the most common occurrence, When these are not watertight, rain-water and splashings from the pump spout will carry'into the well any dirt and germs which have been left on or near the well by animals and from other sources, These wells can be protected readily against surface dainage. The top, and the sides for a distance of ten feet below the surface should be watertight. Care is needed to ensure that no drainage can enter around the pump base or at the manhole in the top. Where the safety of water for do- mestic use is not above suspicion it should be treated. This can be ac complished by boiling or by chlorina- tion. If the water is brought to the boiling point, even without boiling for any period, the disease organisms will be destroyed. The Department of Health has made available at cost-- 60 cents--a small chlorine outfit which can be used to treat the water instead of by boiling. It is more convenient, and is very useful for tourists, sum- mer cottagers and for temporary treatment of home supplies, It can be obtained by mail from the Depart- ment at the Parliament Buildings, To- ronto. Selection of bathing places is im- portant for health protection. Since it is seldom feasible to avoid getting water into" the mouth when bathing, the water should be of good quality. All indoor public pools in the province are made safe by the use of chlorine in the water, This is not feasible for outdoor bathing places, and care is needed in-selecting the area. The water must not be contaminated with sewage, drainage, or similar sub- stances. Infections may be contracted in bathing waters containing pollution or where other bathers are suffering from certain diseases. = To swim for health should mean to swim in safe water. Use protected chlorinated pools whenever possible. Where these are not available select a beach free 'from pollution. "Every one should learn how to re- vive persons apparently drowned. A leaflet on Resuscitation can be had by writing to the Department, Mr. and Mrs. Cyril C. Jeffrey were at home to more than one hundred of their friends last Saturday 'afternoon and evening. Mrs. Jeffrey received her guests in her wedding gown of twenty-five years ago which is of white 'duchess satin with Venetian lace. She also wore her court train of brocaded white satin and a corsage of red roses and lilies of the valley. Mrs. F. D. Slemmon, who: received with her mother, wore her own wed- ding gown of white satin with a cor- sage of yellow roses and sweet peas.
