Shop In Oshawa and Help Build Up the Town The Ontario Reformer All the News Whale It Is News VOLUME 51--No. 50 Tuesday, Thursday and Saturda, Published at Oshawa, Ont,, Cana OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 Yearly Subscription $3.00 Single @oples § fon SIX PAGES Work of Public Health Nurses Check Spread of The Dread Scarlet Fever Still Fifteen Cases in Town But Disease is Not Spreading--Notice Served on Horne's Dairy That Milk Delivered Must Improve Over Recent Tests or License Will Be Cancelled. RECORD IN PAST HAS BEEN GOOD BUT STANDARD MUST BE MET The outlining of the fall work of the Department of Health in its en- deavors to have all school children vaccinated against small pox and in- jected with a dose of diphtheria anti-toxin, the forwarding of a letter to the Town Council regarding the appointment of a town scavenger to remove night soil; discussion over the license now held by J. B. Horne to peddle milk in Oshawa and the passing of some complimentary re- marks regarding the work of the Public Health nurses, occupied the attention of the Oshawa Board of Health at its regular meeting on Thursday night. Mr. Horne already has been ad- vised that if the bacterial content of his milk does not improve that his license may be cancelled. The nurses' report shows that there are 15 cascs of scarlet fever in town, this dise2se having caused worry in the south- east section of the town, Several cases have spread throughout that area hut the nurses, by means of daily inspection of the children and daily visitation to the homes, have been able to keep down the further spread of the disease. In connection with the discussion regarding the milk supplied by the Horne Dairy the secretary read the following letters, which had been gent to Mr. Horne on July 20 and July 22, respectively:-- Bacterial Count, Too High "The sample of milk received from you on July 12th lagt shows, accord- ing to the analysis/of the Provincial Board of Health:-# Bacteria per c.c. 5,600,000, butter" fat 3.6 total solids 11.95 per cent, "Your bacterial count is absolute- ly unallowable and shows a careless- ness either in handling the milk and utensils used, or failure of proper sterilization of the vessels, or of ef- fective chilling and keeping cool of the milk. It also suggests unclean- liness of the stables and cattle from which the milk is produced. "We have to warn you that on a resampling of your milk supply, which will occur any time after three days from the issuing of this instruction to you, if it be found there is not g arked improvement in the bactefial content of your milk supply it will become necessary to order the cancellation of your license. Your previous good record makes us very disinclined to have to carry out any such duty. We also wish 'that you could be brought to under- stand the real advantages and the| safeguarding of health which follows | the usage of pasteurized milk." The second letter was as follows: -- | "The sample of milk received from you on July 18th last shows as fol- lows: --Bacteria per cc 3,010,000, butter fat 2. 6 per cent., total solids 11.2 per cent, "Your bacterial per cent, count is again | very bad and the remarks in our communication to you of July 20 can only be repeated as to careless- ness and uncleanliness somewhere. | "The analysis shows also that the | butter fat content does not come up | to the requirements as laid down in| the Milk Act." Mr. Horne's Reply Mr. Horne has replied as follows, the letter also being read on Thurs- day night: -- Mr. F. E. Hare, Sec., Dept. of Public Health, Oshawa. Dear Sir:-- "We regret very much that the Medical Officer of Health has found it possible to make an unfavorable report on our milk. "Immediately on receipt of the doctor's letter we set about to dis- cover the source of the trouble and have it removed. "We have had the farmers' milk tested for butter fat. While some were low others were =o high that the average would be 3.3 per cent. "Although we have not made a test of the bacteria, we are confident it is not excessive for this time of the season. "We can assure you, we are giv- ing this matter our careful attention. "Kindly place this letter before the Board of Health to-morrow night and oblige, Yours respectfully, City Dairy of Oshawa, L. Horne." Sanitary Inspector Palmer stated that there might be some question raised as to why the Board did not ancel Mr. Horne!s license immediate- ly, as had been done in other cases. He answered this, however, by say- ing that Mr. Horne has the equip- ment on hand at the present time to make good, and due to this rea- son and in consideration of his splendid past record, no such dras- tic step has been taken as yet. Dr. McKay, M.O.H., pointed out, how- ever, that the public ned not worry "A SE 'i191 W S[Y) ul £v[ap Lue ISAO Horne's license will be cancelled if his milk does not soon reach the standard required. Nurses' Report The public health nurses, Miss Harris and Miss Cross, submitted "Communicable diseases report for July: Scarlet fever Diphtheria Measles Whooping cough "Scarlet fever has caused more worry in the southeast section of the town. Several cases have spread through contact in the area of Olive Avenue, where housing conditions are crowded and sanitation poor. By daily inspection of the children liv- ing in the terraces on Olive Avenue and daily visitation to the homes wo have been able to keep down the fur- ther spread of this disease. Measles, whooping cough and chicken pox have practically subsided. Clinic Attendance Good "The attendance during the month at the Child Welfare Clinic held in Albert Street Mission has been ex- cellent, 105 babies with their moth- ers attended, This July marks the beginning of the third year for the clinic and during that time not one weekly session has been omitted. The idea we are endeavoring to in- culcate is to have the infants con- stantly supervised through infancy, through pre-school 'age and eventu- ally place them in their school of learning on the road to perfect man- hood and womanhood. Our primary object is to keep well babies well and the plea of our department is that everyone will do his part to make this world safer for them, "The attendance at the South clin- ic for non-English speaking mothers has been larger than in the previous month, 121 babies and pre-school age children having attended, Twenty- four children have been vaccinated and medical advice on the care and feeding of the baby given by the doc- tor in charge. Follow up calls made by the nurses to see that sugges- tions are being carried out aer some- times most discouraging. A great number of the mothers speak Eng- lish very well and there is no diffi- culty in getting them to follow the advice and suggestions given. "The number of pre-natal calls in- dicates the growing attention given to this branch of public health nurs- ing. The safety of the mother and | the care of the early days of the in- fant would be a great step toward the lessening of the wastage of in- fant life. "Three hundred and eighty-five calls have heen made by the public health nurses during the month. This includes a majority of calls re child welfare, communicable dis- eases, pre-natal work, treatments and bhedside-care." Found House Padlocked Dr. McKay pointed out how the surveillance of the nurses in this congested area of the town had thus prevented the spread of the dread disease, remarking that if the nurses can wipe an epidemic out in this dis- trict that there is no reason why con- tagious diseases may not be kept to cases of house contagion in the oth- er districts of the town, when those sections are educated to prevent the spread of such a disease. Dr. Me- Kay also brought out the informa- tion that many of the children in the Olive Avenue district have never had scarlet fever before and that the nurses in their visits have dis- covered two cases that would never have been reported by those most vitally concerned. Sanitary Inspector Palmer told of going into the district to placard 'a house for scarlet fever and when he got there he found the home pad- locked. He found the mother and two children in a neighboring field and had to then "march" them back home and placard the house. The medical officer of health referred to the report as being a very fine one "for that hopeless place." Commenting on the written re- port regarding the baby clinic, a re- port which was further enlarged up- on by Miss Harris in an interesting verbal report, Dr. McKay stated that the attendance at the clinic shows that the department must not let these clinics go down, The year's work resulting in the benefits that the mothers have derived is worthy of more than compliment, he stated. Miss Harris, in reporting the pres- ence of the four diphtheria cases, stated that only one of these was an active case, the other three being carriers. Miss Cross reported that there are 24 cases of tuberculosis in town and nine suspetes, while ten other people are in sanitaria through- out the province. The report re- garding the clinics showed that 24 children have been vaccinated at the pon-English speaking clinic. About fifteen were vaccinated last week and fifteen more would have liked to have had an injection, but the clinic ran out of vaccine. Dr. Me- Kay pointed out that the hands of the doctors in charge at the non- English speaking clinic have been strengthened by the desire of the European mothers to have their chil- dren vaccinated. This work will be carried on in both clinics and some anti-toxin for diphtheria will be pro- cured with the idea of giving innoc- ulations of this, if desired. The school children will be treated this the following report:-- (Continued on page 6) Rainbow-Colors In Aurora Borealis Students of the heavens, and star-gazers generally, between 9 and 9.30 o'clock on Thurs- day night were privileged to see one of the most brilliant displays of the aurora borealis that has been visible locally in some months. There was the dancing light in evidence, a'though not quite to the northweer, but the un- usual display was the rainbnw- like effect which lasted for a full minute. There was still a faint trace of salmon pink, from the 3a'ting sun, on the horizon when this unusual spectacle occurred, and which made the flashing colors the more wonderful. The multi- colors of the rainbow were all in the sky from the northeast as bright as when the rainbow is seen at its best. Following this display there agair appeared the dancing streamers for a few minutes more and then the electric phenomenon was over. A TRIO OF PRIZE WINNERS Three of the finest babies present at the' Baby Clinic on Prize Day. which was observed on Tuesday at South Oshawa Methodist Mission. All of them secured awards.

Cancels Trains Results Fuel Shortage Because the stocks of coal on hand are rapidly diminish- ing the G.T.R. bas found it necessary to make a temporary reduction in the number of trains, Two trains are taken entire- ly off the Oshawa-Toronto line, while two others are no longer through trains. The trains cancelled are the 7.25 a.m. daily going west, due in Toronto at 845 a.m. and the other is the 5.10 p.m. daily out of Toronto, due here at 629 p.m. The trains which go through are Sunday only out of Toronto, due here at 8.23 a.m. which now goes to Montreal will only go to Belleville, and the train due here at 8.45 p.m. Sunday only will come only from Belle- ville, instead of from Montreal. no longer the 7.10 a.m. Girl Hikers Are NOTED SHOOTERS COMING AUG. 7 Oshawa Gun Club Plans Biggest Day in History for Civic Holiday Officials of the Oshawa Gun Club are now planning for the biggest day in the history of the association, which should be on Oshawa's Civic holiday, provided there is fine weath- er. Two hundred invitations have been sent out by the local shooters, cards going to clubs as far west as London, Toronto clubs have receiv- ed 100 invitations while Hamilton has received 25, The shoot will be under the capa- ble mangement of Messrs. George cashmere and George Dunk, both of Toronto, trapshooters who are well known to all followers of the sport. The Oshawa men are also trying to have some of the celebrated shots of the continent here for the met. Mr. Sam Vance, of Tilsonburg, the Can- adian Amateur Champion, has signi- fied his intentBon of coming while Mr. Sutton, an American who fis holidaying at Rice Lake, and is an ex-International Champion may be present. Thomas \Baker, of Lion- don, one of the hast trap shooters in the Dominion, has also been invited and will probably he here also. All the officers of the Eastern Canadian Trap Shooting Association have been invited and this executive body should be well represented here on Civic Holiday. The meet will get under way at 10 o'clock in the mormwing and shoot- ing will continue till dark. Over $100 is being distributed in prizes, which will all be of cut glass. The awards in each of the five events in the twenty bird competition will be a cut glass water pitcher and glasses, The other trophies will be just as bandsome. There will also be a prize for the high gun for the day while the firemen who will be in town for the Firemen's Convention will be able to shoot in a special event, espeeially arranged for the fire fighters. The ranges are being yut in first class shape and a mar- quee will be erected on the grounds where luncheon and tea will be serv- ed.

One of the hikers, who are all New York girls, had the ligaments of her knee torn, which will confine her to bed for several weeks, while the other three received slight injuries to arms and legs when the auto was struck by a gasoline lorry. The car had the twn rear wheels broken off and was thrown in the ditch. The crossing is a dangerous one, being surrounded by high sweet clover which prevents a view of the track. The road is on the detour used owing to the paving of King street. The four hikers came from New York, via Buffalo and Toronto, and were on their way east, They were taken to Cobourg hospital, GROW SOY BEANS ON WHITBY FARM Jeffery Brothers Have Nearly | One Hundred Acres--O.A.C. Not Enthusiastic Although it is little over ten years since soy beans were introduced in the United States, today the crop has assumed considerable importance; the plant being used for hay, en- silage or soiling crops, and the seeds for meal, oil and food. In India and Japan soy beans have been grown as a staple crop for more than 5,000 years. About three years ago the crop was introduced into Can- ada and though by no means a com- plete success, some satisfaction is re- ported. It may surprise many Ontario farmers to learn that Jeffery Broth- ers near Whitby have nearly 100 acres of this crop under cultivation this season. The seed was procured from Minnesota and Missouri and planted in rows about thirty inches apart, seeds about four inches apart, or in hills. Experiments conducted at some of the Agricultural Colleges in United States show that soy beans have about the same feeding value as oil meal when fed to cattle and 60 per cent. of that of tankage for hogs. Authorities at the Ontario Agri- cultural College when interviewed on the subject were not enthusiastic regarding the future of soy beans in this province. There is no known variety of the crop which will mature seed here each season, they say, and our average climate except in a few sections is too severe for the erop even for hay and ensilage purposes. Soy beans have been tessted out by the college at Guelph for almost twenty years as a green crop and the ensilage. Photographing the soul may be possible.

Perhaps on this question more than on ans other rests the fate of the world's peace and those intdrosted in the "yellow peril," as it sometimes is will be deeply interested in is at this anxiety to thinkers than question of the new books that has recently been placed on the shelves of the Oshawa Public Library. This book, by the Hon. lichiro To- kutomi, member of the House of Peers, has been written to show, frankly and forcibly, the attitude of the Japanese towards Americans. The author does not agree with those of who worship Amer ica; nor with those who seek an ex- cuse for trouble with her. It is his conviction that anti-Japanese feeling the United States is on the in crease and he also considers tha! Americans fail to do justice to the Japanese. This book is a genuine cross-section of the feeling in Japan towards America. Donates Books Mr. P. H. Punshon, the secretary off the Public Library Board, has just presented the library with new copies of eight of James Oliver Cur- wood's tales and two new Hent) books. The library will use these new Curwood books to replace those which have become unfit for circula- tion due to wear and tear, while the two Henty books are new ones to the shelves of the library. Miss Jones, the librarian, commenting on this gift by Mr. Punshon, stated that when books of the type of Curwood's are first brought out that the library could dispose of ten copies a day in- stead of the customary one that usually procured for the reading pub- le. is Two other recent additions to the library books include "Child vs. Parent--The Irrepressible Conflict," by Rabbi 8. Wise, and *'Scottish and Irish Terriers," by William Haynes, author of "The Airedale." In his book, "Child vs. Parent," Rabbi S. Wise, answering the query, "Is the family doomed?" quotes it as his own belief that family life in modern society, is "not 'go- ing out' but rather 'going on' as ar nationalities, to a higher level." Rab- bi Wise, known as one of the lead- ing liberal thinkers of today, has given here a thoughtful discussion of the present day phases of the age- long conflict that develops wheneve: the child in the home begins to feel himself the physical and the intellec- tual equal of the parent. Owing to repeated demands, the delightful and instructive little book of Mr. Haynes' "Scottish and Irish Terriers," is now reissued in attractive form. Enthusiastically written by an ardent lover of te:r- riers, particularly of "Diehard," che Scottie, it is yet so replete with gen- eral suggestions on dog keeping as to appeal to the average dog owner {88 well as the terrier breeder. | Mr. O.

So many children were present that practically all the races had to be run off in heats, one of the hoys' races going into four sections and one of the girls' competitions being divided into three parts. Four special cars running over the lines of the Oshawa Kailway Com- St. Sunday School George's held its Lakeview Park to the lake while one special car was added to the regular service in the ANGLICAN PICNIC parations, etec., used in this twentieth century in the fighting of fires, it is well to remember the days when the safety of life and property depend- ed not so much on the highly train- ed, small, efficient brigade as upon ithe willingness and physical strength of the old pioneers of the town, Re- miniscences of this sort are brought about by a casual inspection of a group photograph of the Oshawa Volunteer Fire Brigade of half a century ago, a copy of which has been shown to The Reformer by the owner, Mr. Henry Burke, of Cherry- | wood, near Whitby. Altogether there are 73 faces in this group, every one of the 'head and shoulders" likeness having been assembled in the group from the tintype photographs so well known to the older residents of Oshawa. Of the men represented only a mere handful live to this day and of this number some were merely boys at- tached to the brigade in those days, who have not reached manhood's es- tate.

(Continued on page 6) Rush Auto Parts by Airplane for G.M.C. from U.S. Approximately six hundred pounds of wheels, the majority for Buick cars, were rushed by airplane from Dayton, Ohio, to Leaside on Monday in order that the General Motors Coroporation here might have the parts by Tuesday morning so tha they could prepare a shipment o cars for the export trade. The loca concern placed the order on Satur day with the American concern ana due to Sunday they were unable to send the material till Monday. The Dayton Wright Company of Dayton, Ohio, a branch of the Gen- eral Motors Corporation which does considerable experimental work for the Corporation as well as manu- facturing airplanes, was called into esrvice to transport the goods for the American concern handling the order. Owing to the customs regu- lations it was necessary for the ma- chine to land at the Leaside Air- drome, one of the authorized ports of entry from the United States, From Leaside the goods were trans- ported to Oshawa by motor, the fly- ing machine being so heavy that it conld not have landed on the Osh- awa Gilf Links without injuring the course and being so large that (ft could not have landed in Alexandra Park. The plane landed at Leaside on Monday at 7.10 pm., the actual fly- ing time being four and a third hours. The pilot, B. Whelan, trav- elled about 350 miles, avoiding the lakes on his trip across the border. He was accompanied by Mechanie A. Horton. Some 100 gallons of gaso- line were used up by the "K.T." plane, which has a 400 h.p. Liberty engine and a possible speed of 115 miles an hour. The return trip was made on Tuesday. The Oshawa men present at the landing of the machine in Toronto were Mr. A. W. Bell, traffic mana- ger of the G.M.C.; Mr. W. M. Rob- ertson, Advertising Department, and Mr. C. E. McTavish, of the executive nine dar IF. ing the engine, hose reel, and hook and ladder wagon used by the brig- ade in those days. All these mach- imes were run by hand then, the en- gine being pumped by men. The 73 men appear in three different colored uniforms, the hose brigade being dressed in a dark uniform. The men of this brigade occupy the top row while the Engine Company, which is the largest of the three due to the fact that relays of men pumped the engine, occupied the major part of the group. The bottom row is com- posed of the members of the hock and ladder platoon. These men wear helmets while the others have caps. Those in the Group Standing out prominently at the top of the photograph are the pic- tures of, the late Chief, Pat Thorn- ton, and the late Assistant Chief, Joseph Craig, Sr. Mr. Craig was the father of Mr. Joseph Craig, 14 Bond Street, West and just below his like- ness appears the face of his son, then only a boy. It yas the late Mr. Craig who was sent to Rochester to pur- chase the fire engine to be seen a the bottom of the photo and which in those days was the pride of the brigade. Among the men represented, and who are still living, is to be seen the face of William Coad who lives on Albert Street. Mr. Coad is the father of Mr. W. A. Coad of the General Motors. As stated before Mr. J. Craig's picture is also to be seen, as are the pictures of Mr. W. H. Kirby of Park Road and of his brother, Mr. J. N. Kirby, who re- sides in the Rainy River district. Mr. J. Duncan, now of Beaverton, was also a member of the brigade in those early days, During the past few days Mr. Duncan has been in Oshawa renewing old acquaintances. The face of Mr. Burke, the owner of the group, also appears as does the photograph of Mr. P. Kyle, father of Mr. J. 8. Kyle of the Kyle Grocerigs. Mr. Kyle now resides with his son and helps him in the management of the business. "Dan" Drew, after whom Drew street is called, is also to be seen. The late Mr. Drew was the father of Mr. Arthur Drew and Mrs. E. Felt. Another likeness is that of Mr, Wm. Stévendorl, whose 'didow now re- sites on Nassau Street. His son Wil- liam, is also an Oshawa resident of the present day. The photograph, which bears the name of Barrett, will be on view in one of the windows of Ward & Dewland's store within a few days, after it has been clean- ed.
