WORK OF COUNTY HEALTH UNIT IN SEPTEMBER At a meeting of the Northumberland-Durham Board of Health on October 26, presided over by Chairman C. R. Carveth, the progress of organization of the Health Unit to date, and the work accomplished during September was reviewed. General Organization The Northubmerland - Durham Health Unit was expected to begi functioning September 1, but owing to the difficulty of securing staff, ioffice space and equipment, it was found that it was not possible for it to assume all its functions on this date. It was therefore arranged that the former local medical officers of health should carry on for the Health Unit the functions associated with their former office. In all cases these medical officers volunteered to assist in this manner until staff had been acquired and organization was complete. In the meantime, efforts were continued to secure staff, offices and equipment, which in the period of transition following the cessation of hostilities presented many difficulties. Great difficulty has been experienced In securing qualified sanitary inspectors, as many of these who have been in the armed services have not yet been released or have returned to former civilian appointments. The same difficulty has been experienced in securing nursing staff. Staff In addition to the senior medical officer of health, Dr. C. W. Mac-Charles, two assistant medical officers of health have been appointed, and are expected to take up their duties before the end of the year. Dr. G. W. Miller is a graduate of medicine form the University of Toronto. He also holds the Diploma in Public Health from the University of Toronto.

He held many important appointments in the Public Health Sr-vice m India, including that of Med al Officer of Health for New Delhi, Director of Medical Services, Delhi Province, Lecturer in Public Health at the Medical College, Delhi, and Deputy Public Health Commissioner for India, which corresponds to the Deputy Minister of Health in the Dominion Government at Ottawa. During the last five years of the War he served as the Director of Medical Services for the Royal Indian .Navy and Allied Navies in Eastern waters, -with the rank of Surgeon Captain. The other assistant medical officer of Health will be Dr. Charlotte M. Horner. Dr. Horner also holds a degree in medicine and the Diploma In Public Health from the University of Toronto. She was at one time on the staff of the School of Hygiene, University of Toronto. During the war she served as medical officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Division of Hygiene. During recent months she has been on the staff at R.C.A.F. headquarters, Ottawa. The staff of nurses who have been appointed include the supervisor, Miss Louise Steele, and Miss Gwyneth Waller, Miss Marguerite Langdon, Miss Gladys Aylsworth, Miss Lena Taylor, and Miss Mary Mason. In addition, Miss Ora Lefler has been temporarily loaned from the Ontario Department of Health. Report of Nursing Service Preliminary Work: During August some preliminary work was done by the nursing supervisor, who arrived August 7, and three staff nurses, who arrived August 20. This .consisted of getting information about schools, roads, etc., visiting the various parts of the counties preparatory to arranging districts and nursing stations, planning programs, ordering and preparing supplies. Nursing Districts: By September 1, three staff nurses had been established in centres, as follows: Miss Waller at Millbrook, with her district including Cavan, Manvers and South Monaghan Townships; Miss Langdon at Campbellford, her district including Seymour Township; and Miss Aylsworth at Brighton, her district including Brighton and Murray Townships.

Nursing Work During September: In planning their programs the three nurses with new districts had as i eral guidance that while complete public health nursing service, includ ing all age groups, should always be kept in mind, yet for the first few months the emphasis would be on school nursing, because it was in schools that their services were especially wanted, and it was there that they could be of service to the most people in the shortest time. Later on there could be more development of services for mothers, babies, preschool children, tuberculosis and communicable disease patients, and demonstration of nursing care for persons ill at home. The school inspectors, Mr. Charlton, Mr. Martin, and Mr. McEwen were very helpful in furnishing information and driving the nurses around to each school in their districts to make short introductory visits, and even providing transportation to the nurses who were without cars during later, longer visits to some rural schools. Despite this, and other transportation provided by kindly volunteers, the services of ths nurses who do not have cars has been severely limited in the rural areas, During September the nursing staff visited 80 rural schools and 34 classrooms of village and town schools. In 86 classrooms they made a rapid classroom inspection of all the children. Sixty-one children were excluded because of skin disease or pediculoses. Four hundred and thirty-one were given a complete inspection, in addition to 278 given vision tests only. One hundred and forty-three children appeared to have defects other than dental as follows: Vision........................................ 24 Hearing................................... 13 Nasal breathing ...................... 19 Abnormal tonsils .................... 87 Enlarged glands..................... 12 Speech defects ........................ 8 Orthopedic defects ................ 4 Malnutrition .......................... 8 One hundred and ninety-five of the children were found to have dental defects. The nurses made home visits in September to 92 families. Some of these were introductory, get-acquainted visits; also there was exchange of information, and general health advice, in regard to three maternity patients, eight infants. 16 pre-school children 132 school children, six families where the problem was chiefly a social one. In addition, the nursing staff made 309 visits for interpretation and promotion of the work, to doctors, dentists, council members, and other people in the communities. In their school visits, they had 264 conferences with teachers, principals, school inspectors. Talks were given to five Women's Institutes, one Home and School Association, one church group, and one group of high school girls. The Unit is indebted to the Millbrook and Cavan Women's Institutes for making supplies for the nurses' bags. Because of lack of staff, these areas have not yet received nursing servica from the Health Unit: Cartwright, Darlington, Hope, Hamilton, Haldimand and Alnwick Townships, Port Hope, Cobourg.

The announcement of low interest rates on United States Victory Loan, and lowering of interest rates in England, has touched off greater sales of Victory Bonds all over Canada. Many people seem to think that it won't always be possible to get 3% on Dominion of Canada Bonds. John Blackhall, Chairman of Ninth Victory Loan Sales Committee says, "I strongly urge people of this County to buy all the 3% Ninth Victory Loan Bonds they can." Many farmers are buying heavily through the Deferred Payment method. They can put 5% down and the balance anytime in next twelve months. Many people realize that this is an investment opportunity that may not be repeated. Sales in rural areas show a sharp increase. Victory Loan salesmen report an excellent reception and most regular subscribers ar their puchases substantially. MRS.
