concerned In announcing that the disease is on the increase in the area the Simcoe County iteathUnit stated that Barrie is relatively free of the problem In January in fact there were no cases re rtcd here WA popular misconception Shoot the ailment is found in the fact that many people believe one cant have the disease unless the person is jaundiced Dr It Anderson says that for every case with jaundice there is one without Dr Anderson in discussing the ailment said The early symptoms vary but usually Ihey are similar to the early symptoms of several other diseases loss of appetite general indisposilion and fever In over half of the cases and es pecially in children no other symptoms develop and the child mey feel well within fewdays The virus causing the disease has its most marked effeclon the liver and if the inflamntion of the liver is sufficiently sev ere jaundice results In the milder cases where jaundice is not apparent the physician can do certain tests to help him make the diagnosis he said If it is mild case be com tinned the patient feels better in few days Even in the most severe case he usually beginsto feel better when the jaundice becomes well established How long patient may feel Judging Features Cattle Club Meet Two classes in cattle judging were the main events of the Simcoe County Cattle Clubs January meeting Frank Stenger of Enniskiller judged the

depth of the jaundice Some with only slight jaundice may feel sick longer than those who be come deep yellow The vast majority of patients suffering from Infectious Hep atitis make complete recovery This recovery period in adults however may vary anywhere from couple of weeks to sev cral months As yet there is no definite treatment that can shorten the length of this 11 covery Since this may be disease of some length in adults it would be most desirable if it could be prevented At present we are in much the same position with Infectious Hepatitis as we were with Pali omyelitis before suitable vac cine was available Both dis eases are spread by direct exposure to the nose and throat discharges of cases in the early stages as well as by contamina ted hands carryingthe germ into the mouth It is advisable then to avoid people in the early stage of the diseasa tthe first week and to establish careful handwash ing habit Cases should be isolated dur ing the first week of the illness The disease is no longer infec tions once the early symptoms are over and the jaundice is well established No quarantine og household contacts is requir The disease may be prevent ed temporarily from to months by an injection of gam maglobulin Some find this to be rather expensive and its use is often limited to special cases such as pregnant women debili tated patients and patients suf fering from other diseases This is the season for frozen water pipes but no one need be victim of this annoying and sometimes expensive trick of nature if he hoods the advice of the Barrie Waterworks de partment Nearly all water pipes found frozen by the householder after cold night are inside the house near the wall or win dows or outside the house Where they pass through an un heated storage cellar such as the space under porch or ver anda These pipes are frozen usual ly as the result of being sub jected to freezing draft Ron McFadden waterworks superintendent with the Barrie Public Utilities Commission cautions the householder to check the cellar walls near his water pipes for cracks in mor tar or windows for drafts that could freeze his pipes He also said that unheated cellars are sometimes the cause of frozen pipes or areas of the cellar where the heat doesrnot reach We have standard fillsfoot depth for our pipes so our own rarely freeze Mr McFadden said but occasionally con struction workers will bare our pipe or lower the surface above oin pipes in which case we have trouble He added that the snow on fire ground acts as an insulator against the frost but long cold snap can cause difficulties Last year Mr McFadden said we had very little snow Local Boy Studies ill US University Allan 11Drury Barrie is among approximately 1000 foreign students from 75 coun tries and

The federation would have been the ideal solution for the west Indies As the new nation gained economic maturity the steady stream of grants and loans from Britains purse would have dried up In addition the federation would have been oneof the sunniest corners in the Com monwealths blossoming garden of independence But by deciding to go it alone rather than risk playing the rich uncle to

town there were no houses in the block from where Barry Jebhl garage stands to below John Faris house Cookstown has really grown lately says Howard 1n Cookstowa there were three hotels One stood slightly west of the present batik another stood on the site of Mr Der motts butcher shop and an other stood on the corner where Edneys drug store is now There was another hotel on the farm owned now by Jack Johnson south of Thornton and two more hotels were in Thorn In These hotels were much used as lodging houses by horse carrted travellers overtaken by night en route to moer distant destinations HORSES IMPORTANT Horses were as important as cars are today and there were blacksmiths shops all over just as there are garages now There were two blacksmitbs shops in Cookstown two in

remember is the very old fashioned upanddown type saws like those used before the Circular saw came in In those days about the only work for men was to be found on the farmson the railroads on roads and in saw mills IN WHEELBARROWS Howard draws attention to the fact that the earth for the high causewaylike road over the deep south ravine crossing the Fifth Sideroad between the Ifourth and Third

made Pine stump fences were very common then The only stone fences in the area he can recall had been erected on the farm now owned by Harold Parker Later these fences were partly taken down to build the foundation of the barn However one or two lines of rocks still remain to mark the sites of these old stone fences The first wire fences were of barbed wire and can remem her augering outthe holes
