~ . PORT PERRY STAR, Thursday, Sept. 9th, 1965 Ontario County Health Unit Offers Many Vital Services In .1957, the dreams of many people were realized by the for- mation of the Ontario County Health Unit, For eight years, groups such as the Pickering Women's In- stitute and the Federation of Agriculture petitioned the County Council to set up a health unit. It was not until 1956, when Pickering Township approached communities in the southern part of the county, that any action was taken. The result -- the Ontario County Health Unit came into being. The unit is now the official health agency for the Towns of Ajax, Uxbridge and Whitby, the Village of Pickering and the Townships of Pickering, Scott and East Whitby. What is the job of the Health Unit? Generalized Service The unit provides a general- ized public health program for the more than 50,000 residents of the county through 'the sefy- ices of a staff that is qualified in public health. It includes: --Personal Service, such as maternal and infant care and the health of the child at school and in the home. --~Communicable disease con- ~-trol- through regulation, educa- tion, immunization and com- munity sanitation, --Environmental Sanitation on which the health of the public depends. --FEducation and Instruction which publicizes the health re- gulations and encourages better health practices. : | --Co-operation with all other | agencies, voluntary or govern- | mental which are devoted to public health. Aim Is Prevention "Our main job though," sajd . Dr. Margaret Braund, the direec- | tor and medical officer of health ! for Ontario County, "is preven- I'tion, not cure of disease. | © "It has been said that $1.00 i worth of prevention is worth ! $15.00 worth of cure. "Our nurses hold immuniza- tion clinics throughout the year iat the child health centres and in the public and high schools. Shots are against tetanus, polio- myelitis, smallpox, whooping cough and diptheria." Another feature of the health unit is the tuberculosis control, In 1964, monthly clinics were held throughout the year at the Ajax - Pickering Hospital and Fairview Lodge. Bimonthly clinics were held in the Unit of-, fices at Pickering and the Cott- age Hospital in Uxbridge. Venereal Disease Veneral Disease control also comes under the health unit's jurisdiction, a "Only four cases of VD were reported to us last year, and we were able to locate two of them. VD is on the upswing in Ontario, so these figures are Ate J probably due to poor reporting" Dr. Braund said. | "EPSOM NEWS Some' of the other jurisdic-' | tions of the nurses are infant and pre-school health services, school health services, mental health, dental health and special services which include alcohol- ism and mental illness. The other big function of the health unit is environment health, which comes under the control of John Robson, chief sanitary inspector of the unit. Check Water Supplies "Our job," said Mr. Robson, "is to check water supplies both in municipalities and in rural areas, community eating estab- Ishments and private restaur- ants, septic tanks and other sanitary services. y Schools also come under the eye of this part of the unit. "Rural schools, in particular are the ones we are concerned with. We have to make sure the sanitary standards are ac- ceptable to the number of stu- dents attending the school." Nursing Homes \ 'Nursing homes are checked by Mr. Robson's department for water supply, sewage disposal, means of heating, means of cooking and artificial lighting, hot water supply, laundry facil- ities, dishwashing and eating utensils, food storage and refri- geration, milk supply and meat supply, garbage disposal, the conditions of the grounds, and the number of male and female patients. Restaurants are also subject- ed to much the same tests as a nursing home. Industries and dairies are also inspected by the department. ) . | Ladies Wednesday Night Bowling Schedule 1ST SECTION Sept. 15th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Chevs. - Olds. 3-4 Pontiacs - Buicks 5-6 Fords - Mercury 9 o'clock 1-2 Monarchs - Lincolns 3-4 Dodge - Plymouth 5-6 Ramblers - Ambassadors Sept. 22nd -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Modharchs - Ambassadors 3-4 Lincolns - Plymouths 5-6 Ramblers - Dodge 9 o'clock 1-2 Chevs - Mercury 3-4 Olds. - Buicks 5-6 Pontiacs - Fords Sept. 29th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Buicks - Plymouths 3-4 Ramblers - Fords 5-6 Olds - Ambassadors 9 o'clock 1-2 Lincolns - Pontiacs 3-4 Monarchs - Mercury 5-6 Dodge - Chevs Oct. 6th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Dodge - Pontiacs 3-4 Chevs - Monarchs 5-6 Mercury - Lincolns 9 o'clock 1-2 Ramblers - Olds 3-4 Plymouth - Fords 6-6 Ambassadors - Buicks Oct. 13th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Ambassadors - Mercury 3-4 Dodge - Olds 5-6 Plymouth - Pontiacs 9 o'clock . 1-2 Buicks - Monarchs 3-4 Chevs - Ramblers 5-6 Fords - Lincolns Oct. 20th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Lincolns - Chevs 3-4 Buicks - Ramblers 5-6 Ambassadors - Fords 9 o'clock 1-2 Olds - Plymouths 3-4 Mercury - Dodge 5-6 Monarchs - Pontiacs Oct. 27th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Fords - Monarchs 3-4 Olds - Lincolns 5-6 Dodge - Buicks ' 9 o'clock 1-2 Mercury - Ramblers 3-4 Ambassadors - Pontiacs 5-6 Chevs - Plymouths Nov. 3rd -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Pontiacs - Ramblers 3-4 Plymouths - Mercury 5-6 Chevs - Ambassadors 9 o'clock 1-2 Dodge - Fords 3-4 Buicks - Lincolns 5-6 Olds - Monarchs Nov. 10th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Mercury - Buicks 3-4 Fords - Chevs 5-6 Pontiacs - Olds 9 o'clock 1-2 Plymouth - nasa ars 3-4 Ramblers - Monaichs 5-6 Lincolns - Dodge Nov. 17th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Ramblers .- Lincolns 3-4 Ambassadors - Dodge 5-6 Monarchs - Plymouths 9 o'clock 1-2 Fords - Buicks 3-4 Pontiacs - Chevs 6-6 Mercury - Olds Nov. 24th -- 7 o'clock 1-2 Olds - Fords 3-4 Mercury - Pontiacs 6-6 Buicks - Chevs 9 o'clock 1-2 Monarchs - Dodge 3-4 Lincolns - Ambassadors 5-6 Plymouths - Ramblers .| Marge Harrison Marie Wakeford Carol Wilson Oldsmobile Gloria Hastings Beth Oke Eileen Snooks Aileen Olsen Shirley Brignall Ann Chandler Hazel Brooks Carol Wilbur Gloria Tassel Bleanor Davidson Helen Roland Pontiac Buick Kacey Harper Joy Hull Ruby Williams Jearme Goode Diane Menzies Vivian Rider Barb Bradbury Marion Wallace Verna Chapman Joyce Taylor Iris Boyce Tina Anton Ford Mercury Merle St. John Carol Warriner Barbara Willa Doupe McLaughlin Chevrolet Marion Healy Carol Jeffrey Mary Ann Doyle Jayne Carnegie Carol Buller Ann Taylor Monarch Lincoln Betty Collins K.
