VOLUME 58, NUMBER 44 _The National Sanitorium Assoâ€" ciation has reported to the local Board of Health that 2,839 people were Xâ€"rayed during the recent survey. * Childréen under 12 years of age were not Xâ€"rayed during this survey because it has been found that children under 12 very seidom contract the disease unless in contact with a carrier. Allowing for this, and the fact that the employees of several local indusâ€" tries have recently been Xâ€"rayed, it is estimated that over 50% of the notential availed themselves of the opportunity to protect their health. This percentage is conâ€" sidered satisfactory for a second mass survey in a period of three years. In a voluntary community effort of this kind, it is necessary to call on various public bodies and individuals for assistance,.

A. L. Coulter and Chas. M. Richardson. In 1947, the statement revealed, a grant of $1,480 had been received by the band from the town and in December 31, 1947, a balance of $762. was on record in the band‘s books. The grant to the band in 1948 amounted to $1,532 according to the statexnt and at the end of the year the/band had a balance of $1,171.

The council decided to request the Toronto and Yorks Road Commission to conâ€" sider the installation of traffic signals at the forementioned interâ€" section. _A communication has been sent to the commission to this effect. ; A group of gasoline station operators from the town were delegates at the meeting and they petitioned that the council enforce the byâ€"law which restricts the hours in which gasoline may be sold to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mr. Thomas Clough was the spokesâ€" man for the operators. Apparently since the province has turned the matter of enforcement back to the municipalities, both the council and the operators have ignoted the byâ€"law aithough most of the operators have kept to it. Howâ€" ever, now both have agreed that the regulation is a. necessity. The ‘motion was passed without opposition, once Controller Charles Cashman had been assured it would not interfere with a council move to incorporate.

After returning to his bed for some sleep, Fire Chief Ernie McGinnis came back to the scene if the afternoon to soak still smoldering ‘embers.
