Henderson & Comâ€" Auctioneers at 128 King Street Toronto, the following lands, ADMINISTRATORS‘ SALE TWP. OF ETOBICOKE The Insurance Man MAIL CONTRACT war, Auctioneers TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON Weston Enjoys Good Health, is Well Situated and Free From Contagious Diseases BOARD OF HEALTH REPORTS T0 GOUNEHL To the Weston Board of Health. I hereby present my report for the year ending November ist, 1920. We have had our share of contaâ€" gious diseases this year. There have been reported: 52 cases of smallpox 35 cases of diphtheria 5 cases of measles 5 cases of mumps 5 cases of scarlet fever There was also an â€" epidemic of ‘"‘flu," which, although milder than that of the year before, was severe enough. No fatal cases were reportâ€" ed. The smallpox was of a mild type. Everything was done that could be done to prevent its spread. Everyone was encouraged to be vaccinated, and quarantine of houses was maintained. Some of the cases . of diphtheria were very severe. As with the smallâ€" pox, every precaution was taken to keep it down.. Besides quarantining the premises where it was present, swabs were taken of all the throats and noses of the children attending the public and high schools. , This was done with the consent and assisâ€" tance of the Board of Education. The chairman of the board, Mr. Flynn, deserves credit for the promptness with which he responded to the reâ€" quest of the M.O.H. to have the maâ€" chinery set in motion for that purâ€" pose. On examination of the swabs, there were found to be some thirty "carriers." ‘"Carriers‘ are those who, although having no outward signs of diphtheria, are found to have the germs in their throats or noses, and who may convey the disease to others. Those ‘"carriers" were , not allowed to return to school until examinations showed that their throats and noses were clear of the germs of diphtheria. We were somewhat handicapped in maintaining a strket isolation of all the ‘‘contacts" in those. contagious diseases, by the inability of the sanâ€" itary officer to attend properly to his two jobs at once. His duties as chief of police are sufficient to keep him busy and, although in ordinary times he might manage to see after the saâ€" nitary affairs of the town, in times of an epidemic or, as we had, two or three epidemics at once, it is imposâ€" sible for him to properly do so. In future in cases of that kind we must have a special sanitary officer apâ€" pointed. Last winter complaints were made from time to time that some of those under quarantine were leaving their ipremises without perâ€" mission. â€" A special sanitary officer would prevent occurrences of that kind. There have/been fiftyâ€"nine births, eleven marriages and â€" thirtyâ€"three deaths in the year. The.causes of death . were: heart failure 3, pulmonary tuberculosis 1, acute indigestion 1, eucephalitis 1, senile dementia 1, meningitis 1, still born 1, premature birth 2, old age 5, pneumonia 2 erysipilas 1, apoplexy 2, asthacnia 3, pernicious anaemia 2 diphtheria 3, fg)ctar heart 1, bronchi ti§ 4, eucephalitis lethargica 1,â€" ulce ration of the stomach 1.‘ In the month of June the M.O.H. inspected the school buildings in reâ€" gard to their sanitary condition and found them all that could be desired in that respect, with the exception of the separate school building. The sepâ€" arate school board should be induced to put up a new building, having moâ€" dern conveniences. The present building and outhouses are not saniâ€" tary. It has never been so bad ‘as to reâ€" quire boiling before being used for drinking, but frequently it has been very near it, and never during. the whole year has it been first class. The commissioners and officers lay the blame on the sedimentation baâ€" sins, and I am inclined to think they are right. Those basins are simply small ponds with ordinary clay botâ€" toms., There is no way of properly cleaning them and as they are, they are not fit to contain drinking wa ter. The remedy is to have the sides and bottoms of those basins covered with cement. If that were done, they could be: cleaned out at any time with very little trouble. It is almost a crime to leave them as they are. ; The Balmonal Dairy, of Weston, and the City Dairy, of Toronto, are the main sources of milk supply, for the people of Weston: â€" This year, there have been no complaints made about the quality of the milk, and as both of these dairies pasteurize the milk before it is sent out, the probâ€" ability is that with ordinary care in the handling of the bottles, there is no danger of contagious diseases beâ€" ing contracted or transmitted through the use of it. There is no truth whatâ€" ever in the rumour that some of the farmers who, on account of their unâ€" clean methods and dirty stables, were not allowed to send their milk to Toâ€" ronto, were selling it to the Balmoral Dairy. The inspectors for Toronto report all such cases, which they beâ€" came aware of in this district, to the Balmonal Dairy, and they at once reâ€" fuse to take milk from those places. Here again we should have an extra Sanitary Officer who would be of great use in inspecting the sources of supply of all the milk coming into the Town. â€" The town water has not been as good this year as in former years. On Sunday,> Nov. ith, 1920, there passed away at Peterboro General Hospital, as the result of an accident, Louisa Porter Stephen, wife of James A. Stephen, formerly of Brockville, Ont. ~Mrs. Stephen was a daughter of the late John D. Porter, one of Weston‘s earliest settlers. She was born in Weston, Aug. 5th, 1834, and was a lifeâ€"long Methodist â€" always known by herâ€" beautiful Christian life. Mrs. Wm. Rowntree and Mrs. Jos. Nason, of Weston, are nieces of the deceased. One thing that we, the Board of Health, should always bear in mind and keep on our consciences is, that the people of the Town. rely on us to stand between them and any and every source of contagious disease, as far as we possibly can. They do not ask the cost, not matter what the cost, they depend on us to do it. Our responsibility is great, let us try to measure up to it. J. H. MELDRUM, M. D., M.O.H., Weston. Mrs. James A. Stephens ORITUARY Mr. H. Ward has sold his grocery, business at the corner of Main St. and Eagle Ave. to Messrs. Hardacre and Cairns, of Toronto, who are takâ€" ing possession at once, and will be pleased to have all people call on them and become acquainted. . They also ask for a share of patronage from the citizens, and in return will endeavor to gwee reliableâ€"service and carry a stock of fresh groceries to meet the needs of all. They are men with considerable business experience, having been with the Keith Seed Co. for the past five years. The sale was put through by A. E. Moffat. Monday morning around one o‘clock the fire alarm roused the volâ€" unteer brigade from their slumbers, and upon answering the call, located the trouble in the upstairs sitting room of Mr. S. Hill‘s house on Main St. A fire in the coal grate had heated through the cement and caught qn the pine floor underneath the surface of the cement, and burnâ€" ed through two joists and part of the flooring, before it was discovered. Chemicals were used by the brigade and with such good results that the flames were extinguished without the need of any water, and the damage done was comparatively slight. The annual sale of work in conngcâ€" tion with St. John‘s Church, under the auspices of the Women‘s Guild, will be held in the Parish Hall on Wednesday, November 24th. Water Commission Lets Contracts Tenders were received and opened last week by the Weston Watép, Powâ€" and Light Commission, and the conâ€" tracts were awarded as follows. â€" Digâ€" ging of a trench and water main on Lippincott St., West, and Rectory Rd. to Wm. Terrill, the contract for lay: ing the water main J. W. Johnston, and the contract for cast iron pipes and specials to the National Iron Co. The work will be gone ahead with as soon as sufficient material is on the ground for a start, and it is hoped will soon be rushed to completion, but this depends on delivef’i' of supâ€" plies. _ At the special service of Thanksâ€" giving to be held in the Methodist Church ‘on Friday night, Nov. 12th, following the campaign for Church Funds, run Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, Rev. Dr. Ferâ€" guson, Rev. Mr. Strangways and Rev. Dr. Long, three former pastors, will be present and give short addresses, also music by the choir will be renâ€" dered.. There is no doubt that the church will be crowded, as the meetâ€" ing: will be in the form of a congreâ€" gational rally, and t%Lga.thering; toâ€" gether of the forces increased acâ€" tivities. â€" It will also express the apâ€" preciation of the services of the Pasâ€" tor and his wife in all branches. of the work. On Wednesday evening of this week the annual meeting in connection with the British.and Foreign Bible Society will be held in Cross St. Presâ€" byterian Church. Mr. McKenzie. busiâ€" ness manager, will be the speaker, and will give an illustrated talk on the work in France. and Belgium. . It is hoped that all interested. in this work will make it a point to attend, and thereby adeeper interest in .this great work, which is one that cannot be too highly estimateU.
