The Local Board of Health met on October 6th, 1958 and considered re- ports of the O.W.R.C. on the neces- sity of a sewage system to rémedy an increasingly unhealthy condition of Lake Scugog contamination, The Reeve and Council believe that a sewage disposal system would be most desirable and that consideration will have to be given as to how it can be handled since the entire cost would have to be met by the taxpayers. It is also believed that a great deal could be accomplished by some of the residents remedying their present dis- posal systems. It is well known that there are many septie tanks empty- ing into the Municipal Ditches and water courses without nmch justifi- cation. It may become necessary to impose severe penalties if these con- ditions are not remedied.

Mrs. Tom Harris, Regent, welcomed Scugog Chapter members to their first | fall meeting on October 6 at 2.30 p.m. It was held as usual in the Community room of the Memorial Library. The regular ceremony for the open- ing of an I.0.D.E. meeting is, the re- peating of the prayer of the Order-- salute to our flag and giving Scugog's motto, "It matters not how long we live--but how." The previous week Mrs. Harris had entertained the Executive at a meet- ing. As a result the business was quickly and efficiently taken care of. Two new member's names were pro- posed, and the one who was present received into full membership. We are to be congratulated on hav- ing an Empire study convener such as Miss M. Harris. This month her topic was on the great Canadian poet, Robert Service. In a fine manner Miss Harris gave the. high lights of his life at points this was interspersed by four of his poems read by Mrs. I. R. Bent- ley: "The Gramophone at Fond-du- lac"; "Music in the Bush"; The Young- er Son" and "Jean Desprez" Many will remember the more fam- iliar ones such as. "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee", The meeting closed with the singing of "God Save the Queen" and a social half hour was spent over a cup of tea. You Should Have Been There! Once again it was the pleasure (and I do mean pleasure) of some fourteen members of Scugog Chapter, Imperial 'Order Daughters of the Empire, to serve the new Canadians, who received their citizeenship papers on Oct.7th at Whitby. You would just have to be there to realize the thrill we get, and to see over sixty well dressed, fine mannered, pleasant men and women from Europe and Asia, full to over flowing with the fact that at last they were Canadian citizens. The hall was nicely arranged with a tea table, lace cloth, flowers, and candles. Quantities of sandwiches, small cakes, and coffee were served. There is no telling just what this friendly gesture of ours will mean to them, and the Imperial Order Daugh- ters of the Empire of Ontario County consider it a great privilege to be a part of it.
