University requests Village water sample The Department of Epidemiology and Com- munity Medicine at the University of Ottawa has requested water samples from the Village of Port Perry. In a letter to the Clerk- Treasurer, the Department says it is currently con- ducting a nationwide survey of household waters to determine the content of certain trace metals and their effects on health. The letter also says that all communities asked to supply water samples have been chosen because of the nature of the supply, and the hard- ness of the household water. It asks for three samples; one from the resevoir, one {rom a household, and one a public building such as the Municipal Office.," Just what the Department of Epidemiology will find when it. analyzes - the water is anybody's guess. The guess here is that they'll find what any -Port Perry resident knows -- namely that the water is so hard it goes "clunk" when it hits your stomach. But maybe they'll also discover, what gives the water its sweet taste. And by the way, does anybody know what Epidemiology is? The first six letters of the word suggest it might have something to do with epidemics, or diseases of the skin maybe. In any cvent, the results of the water tests | might prove interesting. A fire destroyed four businesses on Stouffville's main street Tuesday morning. Cause of the fire, or estimates of damage are not yet kngwn, but early re- ports indicate that as many as 21 persons may be homeless as a result of the fire, Firemen from the surrounding townships were called in to battle the blaze.
