He Did a Good Job a. 1934. We must say that once Councillor Frank Godley decided to clear the snow from our business section he made a very good job of it. Every- one seems to be well pleased. -Work has been provided for a num- ber of idle men, . The streets have never been in better condition at this time of year. Parking and driving conditions are once again satisfactory. While the danger of flooding from a sudden spring thaw can nevér be en- tirely eliminated with this much snow lying around, at least everything rea- sonably possible has been done to minimize the danger. We congratulate Councillor Godley on a job well done, Some people 'have complained that . the street cleaning program has been carried too far, that it will cost the taxpayers too much money, There are two answers to this. The men handling the shovels come under the "Winter Work Program" which, receives assistance from both the Dominion and the Provincial Gov- ernments. These men would other- 4 F wise be among the unemployed. Secondly the business section is the heart of our town, Our. customers both from the town and the surround.' ing country, are much more likely to shop in Port Perry when they know that they can park and walk about with comparative comfort, The mer- chants who are the main taxpayers will benefit from this. ) One might almost add a third reason for this program. A heavy spring rain, or sudden rise in the tem- perature would almost certainly have brought' flooding. Some of the mer- chants. would have suffered damaged stock from. flooded basement store- rooms, or have had the expense of moving stock to higher levels in order to prevent possible damage. All in all while it-is costing us money it may well be saving us a great deal more than we are paying out. As a matter of fact the cost of this job when spread over the whole as- 'sessment' will seem very little in pro. portion to the good resulting from the 'work. Obituary JOHN H.

Bruce's judgment agreed exactly with that of the judges at Canada's leading fairs who made the official awards. Bruce was one of eight competitors who had perfect scores amongst the 595 4-H boys. and girls from all parts of Can- ada who took part in the contest. Bruce stood in the top group for show- manship at the Achievement Day of Durham County Dairy Calf Club last summer, while two years ago, he won the T, Eaton trophy for the best Hol- stein calf in the club.

Council News The regular meeting of Council was held in'the township hall on Saturday, February 7th, at which the reeve and all councillors were present. The minutes of the Inaugural meet- ing were read and adopted without a- mendment. The correspondence con- sisted of a letter from Mr. Watson of the Department of Agriculture., Live Stock 'Branch with reference to the regulations re Warble Fly Control; and from the Department of High- ways forms for the 1959 road appro- priation By-law. On motion of Cotincillor Smith and '| seconded by Councillor Carter Town- ship Clerk Sidney Chandler was ap- pointed Relief Officer for the twp. On motion of Councillor Fralick se- conded by Councillor Smith Sidney Chandler was appointed Scugog rep- resentative to the Port Perry Com- munity Arena Board. . On motion of Councillor Heayn se- -conded by Councillor Carter Raymond Fralick was appointed as representa- tive to the High School Area Board. By-Law No. 1163 was duly passed and this was a by-law to authorize the borrowing of up to $6000.00 from the Canadian Bank of Commerce, to meet current accounts uid) receipt of taxes.

Council will not be respnosible for damage to cars parked on road- sides. The following accounts were passed for payment: Road account ..........cceovinen. $780.77 General Account ............ 127.96 $908.72 . In January Councillor Godley, Port Perry and Reeve Gerrow, of Scugog, Councillors Carter and Heayn, from Scugog; and Mr. Philip Orde from the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club waited on Mr. W. D. Bennett, Supt. Engineer of the Trent Canal to discuss the wa- ter level in Lake Scugog and its effect on Fishing, trapping and Tourists in area. The deputation requested an in- crease in the waterlevel from 10' 4" to 10' 6" and Mr, Bennett stated that he would try to meet their request but also pointed out that Lake Scugog is different than most other lakes as they can only let water out of Lake Scugog but cannot let water in, and if the water level is increased to any great amount that someone will have to take the responsibility of flood claims. more evaporation -and less rain fall than the average season, was respon- sible for the low water during 1958. The Scugog Council felt that this matter requires a good deal niore in- vestigation and suggested that ail councils, cottagers associations, ete. should co-operate in studying 'the si- tuation. The meeting adjourned to meet a- gain on Saturday, March 7th at 1.00 'glee club. p.m, Mr. Bennett explained that due to Hilltop Herald Last Friday completed the regular schedule of the basketball games, Port Perry won 8 out of the 4 games, The senior girls and the junior boys will play-off-with Markham this Fri- day at Port Perry.

Brooklin Drops First Two Games Of Play-Ofis On Saturday night on home ice the Brooklin' Combines lost the first game of the best out of seven series to Whitby to the score of 6-3. The Whitby team played well in the last two periods and had command of play throughout this time. "Again on Monday at Whitby Arena the "Combines" lost the second game of the series 8-1. There could be an upset in the making if Brooklin, who had command during the regular sche- dule finishing in first place, don't get back into their regular form, their opposition Whitby, "who finished in 4th place in the regular schedule could knock them out of the picture. On Saturday, Feb, 21st the third game will be played here in Port! Perry and is a must for the Brooklin Team. Come out and give the boys your support. Game time 8.30.

Although he pointéd out that it was impossible to assess' exactly the num- ber of men directly affected by pro- jects of this nature he said that a few figures .were available which could he directly attributed to them. As regards the "Do It Now" paign, Mr. Hodgson said that in the period from November 15 to Decem- ber 16, 61 men had been placed as a direct result of the program.

Won, Doctor says Eradication of tuberculosis is the goal, but a great deal remains to be done, the management committee of the Ontario County-Oshawa Tuber- culosis Association was told at a din- ner meeting in Hotel Genosha, Oshawa The speaker was Dr. C, W. L. Jean- es, assistant director of the Canadian Tuberculosis Association. Suggestion that sanatoria be closed because of an increasing number of empty beds amounted to dangerous thinking, he declared. Full ahd ade- quate treatment in hospital was neces- ary, otherwise the ehance of cure was seriously dimished. The importance of early diagnosis was. emphasized by the speaker Modern treatment may be of no a- vail in advanced cases and infection will have spread, There will be a great deal of work for- the voluntary TB associations if patients are discharged earlier and they will need more assistance in re- Still To Be The pioneer work of the past for the associations was the building up of diagnostic and treatment services. The tasks then were great but the ob- jects were clear and people had no difficulty in secing what they were working for. In future the tasks will be more difficult, the speaker noted, because the objectives are not so con- crete, [Eradication of tuberculosis was the goal, and achieving it required community effort. The job of the voluntary agency, he said, was to see that the official ag- encies were used to greatest advant- age by the public. He quoted the ob- servation of the great Dr. Osler, tnut "the battle against tuberculosis is not a doctor's affair, it belongs to the en- tire public". A report from Dr, R. J. Kimmerly, Case Finding Chairman, showed that a tuberculin testing survey is being carried out in many schools in the county, and is being sponsorad by the habilition, Dr. Jeanes pointed out, Ontario County TB Association.
