In 1926 a school medical service was established _ in _ all elementary schools and in 1944 was extended to include the collegiate institute. ‘During 1944 the school medical ofâ€" ficers examined 85 per cent of school beginners and 92 per cent of all grades VII and 90 per cent of all grade 12 and 13 pupils and 89 per cent of the collegiate pupils in grade 10. _ K â€" Discharge Points Dropped To 30 Immunization programs for all the schools were first arranged in 1927.‘ They are presently available during alternate years for diphâ€" theria, whooping cough, and smallâ€" ; ox._ Each autumn, by means of the Vollmer Patch Test, all beginâ€" ners at the collegiate are examined for tuberculosis. _ Positive and Anticipating the trend of a changing public health prograni in Ontario, and conscious of the necessity of enlarging and broadâ€" ening the plan of public and comâ€" munity health protection, the Local Board of Health of the Township of North Yorkâ€"an aréa adjacent to the northern municipal boundâ€" ary of Toronto and with a populaâ€" tion of 25,168â€"created and opened a Public Health Centre at 5248 Yonge St., Willowdale, Ontario, on April 29, 1943. / _ _ Thqfo]lowing article is a re%rint' from the Canadian Journal of Pubâ€" lic Health which is a detail of the accomplishments of the North York Health Department.

Before Main street has any hope of fietting a nice new facial the York oads Commission has to decide whether or not the road is to be widened or left as is. The TTC has to make up its mind whether or not trolley buses are to eliminate the carâ€"tracks or whether a brand new set will be installed. (It may be interesting to the: people, of Weston to know that on the newer car lines installed since the turn of the century a novel twist has been added in that the tracks are laid so that the rails run parallel.) Until these two commissions hash out the answersâ€"nothing can be done. \ We learned .something. Someâ€" thing that puts a new light on the old, old story. « This recent garbage poll. was prompted ‘mainly by the desire to get a slant on both sides of the current hot verbal discyssion re the , present condition ;of Main street and the net results (besides the two cents in cash) proved very profitable indeed. f A recent sidewalk survey, conâ€" sisting of a stroll from Dufferin street to the city hall and back, conducted by The Times and Guide, netted two cents in cash, the fact that Weston folk grelarred Virâ€" ginia cigarettes to blends, a vain search for the source of sale of a certain preâ€"war chocolate bar, the wrapper of which was nonchalantly sailing along the sidewalk and we also managed, without the least bit ‘of effort to accumulate the definâ€" ite need for & shoeshine. 4 ack.

It was in connection with th@ Advance Appeal of the Anglican Church across Canada. Short Statistical Summary 1945 Annual Report N. York " Success in life depends upon having a clear vision of the goal you fim to reach, This means a facing of the problems of life. What are you going to do with it? In orderâ€"to answer this question, a person must sit down and find the objective <of "hisâ€"ife,â€" it« purpose and how he can accomplish that end. There must be a coâ€"ordina~ tion of development, of the physiâ€" cal, the mental and spiritual. Each must be fed with care, with the objective in view and the goal to be reached. Food with regularity and in proper quantities is necesâ€" sary for the deveélopment of the three great parts of man. Man‘s social relationships must be careâ€" fully selected, as they are a part of his development and are definâ€" itely related to the goal which he‘ is aiming at. â€" "WEST ~YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY" Woodbridge Westmount Humber Heights While this may not seem an imâ€" portant matter to urban dwellers, nevertheless without an adequate supply of water, a farm cannot exist. A further result is that the little springs or small tributaries of The maintenance of this reserâ€" voir depends on a number of conâ€" ditions, but chiefly on the use to which the land is put. If the land is used exclusively for cereal crops, and allowed no rest or fallowing, it will become what is known as "friâ€" able‘ or powdery, and the subâ€"surâ€" face moisture because of the porocâ€" ‘ity of the upper soil, will rise and evaporate when it reaches the air, or run off at once after it falls to the nearest stream. Thus the roots of ilunts. seeking moisture at depth, will be unable to find it. Wfieat, for instance, under favourâ€" able conditions, has a depth of root of from 3 to 3‘ feet below the surâ€" face. I mention this mrerely to show how important. the ground water is to agriculture. One of the‘ more visible affects of the dissipaâ€" tion of this reservoir is the drying‘ up of domestic wells. Strong Appeal Voiced Personal Challenge In this, the third and last of three articles on the general subâ€" ject of land conservation, I shall deal‘ with what is known as the subâ€"surface or ground water probâ€" lem. In the previous two articles I discussed briefly flood control and soil erosion. The maintenance of proper hydrologic balance depends upon the existence of an adequate reservoir of subâ€"surface water. The existence of this subâ€"surface water, while not seen, is of equal importâ€" ance with the other two. 3 Flood Control, Soil Conservation Article By Rodney Adamson MP DBept. of Health Twp Of North York 1945 Annual Report Rev.

Under French law 14th century butchers could deal in one type of meat only and could sell it only unâ€" der natural Jight. Sales by candle hitht or lamp were taboo. Old French Law Reports have been coming in reâ€" cently to the WPTB that a number of butchers hxs been refusing to accept more than 7 tokens from the consumer at one time, claimâ€" ing that such a transaction is against meat rationing regulations. In relglying to the complaints, Mr. J. R. Martin, rationing superâ€" intendent of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, stated that as long as there are enough tokens to cover requirements of the meat token chart butchers, may accept any number of tokens from a cusâ€" tomer. The meat rationing regulations state that a consumer must not accépt more than 7 from a supâ€" plier at one sale. No Token Limit In Meat Buying It was a most inspiring service, with the choir rendering a very fine anthem unaccompanied, and the Rev. George Roe conducting the service. He called upon all, to carefully stop and examine themselves durâ€" ing the lenten season, as to where they are going before they decided the necessary steps to take. A clear vision must be had; this vision, will enable the individual to realize that they have a reâ€" aponaibilit{. individually to make for the relationships with God and man, a continual J;velopment of a more perfect relationship with their Creator and fellow beings. As food is required for the physiâ€" cal being, as proper reading and mental absorption is required for the development of the brain, so prayer, bible reading and the sacraments regularly are neces< sary for the spiritual development.. It is expected that the God given physical, mental and spiritual be-‘ ing will be developed by the inâ€" diivdual. God will do his part, but the individual must cooperate and give himself wholly, without reâ€" serve, to the work and evolution of self to a higher state. . This adâ€" vance appeal, as voiced by Dr. Hiltz for a greater consecration of the individual life is being proâ€" moted across Canada. Here again the restoration of the natural ‘conditions of land is imâ€" perative. The restoration of the forest cover and checking the speed of the run:off is most important. As an exnm&; of what trees will do to maintatX the balance, a quarâ€" ter of an acre of forest has been known to produce enough ‘of a ground water reservoir to ‘bring back into use a well which had conâ€" sistently gone dry during the sumâ€" mer months for a period of many years. A single tree of a height of 50 feet acts as a hydraulic system pumping between five and 800 pounds of water a day. ‘ In this article I am dealing only our rivers cease to flow entirely during the summer months. This leaves the river in a slow, or semiâ€" stagnant, state, whie; in turn fosâ€" ters the life of many harmful bacâ€" teria. This is aggravated by the pernicious practise of dumping raw sewage into streams. . Modern medical science tends to believe that the microbe which causes poliomyelitis can be water borne, and it is significant that it reaches epidemic proportions concurrently with the period of maximum polluâ€" tion of rivers. It is, however, an indisputable fact that the vondiâ€" tions, from a health standard, at the mouths of many of our rivers during the month of August, are in a de[fiouble, and even dangerous state. It is well known that runâ€" ning water, because of the turbuâ€" lence which admits light and oxyâ€" gen, does much to destroy harmful germs. Stagnant rivers breed them. â€"Continued on page 8 "The situation is urgent," emâ€" phasized Dr. G. E. Richards, manâ€" aging director of the Ontario Canâ€" cer Treatment and _ Research Foundation.

A short business meeting fo?lawed. when the different reports were heard and approved. An appeal for the "Save the Children Fund" was read and it was unanimously voted that a donation from our society would be sent to this fund.

Mrs. Aitcheson, convener of the meeting, led the devotional period as;izteg by Mrs. Hunter. A candle, ‘sgmbolic of Christ, the Light of the orld, stood on the table and Mrs. Aitcheson, in her review of Dr. Currie‘s work in Africa, likened him as "The Knight of the Dawn."

"Let us see," he said, "that the tourist gets full value for his money, that he is not subjected to ruckets, police or speed traps, or anything else like that, so he‘ll come back again. In that way we‘ll build up a permanent tourist business." Speaking in support of his deâ€" partment‘s estmates, which were passed, Mr. Welsh said that he had sent out a questionnaire to United States tourists asking what they liked best about Ontario. Ninety per cent, he said, had replied that they had been most impressed on past visits with the courtesy and friendliness of Ontario people. With all Ontario‘s varied tourist attractions, it surprised many in the Legislature last week when the new Travel and Publicity Minister, Arthur (Tiger) Welsh, said that this Province‘s greatest attraction, in the eyes of United States visitors, is courtesy. A request to the do&mrtmént of internal revenue at Ottawa that stixpend: of all members of municiâ€" pal councils be declared tax exempt was approved by York tewnship council recently.. A copy of the request, which was proposed by Councillor Fred Hall, will also be sent to the Ontario government. The only dissenting voice was raised by Councillor Clarence Mofâ€" fatt, and there was no discussion of the request.

Since surveys show â€"that 15% of food ‘bought reaches the gnrbnge can, strive to cut this own to zero. 5. Recommend . that | haif the quantity of bread and rolls be served in cafeterias and hotels \ unless extra is requested. | Mr. Herbert Lehman, retiring director of UNRRA, on his return: lfrom Europe, says tfiut the situaâ€" tion next winter will probably be worse than the present crisis. With ‘this in view it is recommended that every household that can possibly do so, plan now for a garden to Â¥row as much as possible of the amily‘s food so that an abundance of home produce will save the comâ€" mercially canned supé)lies for relief of starvation in Europe.
