The new blue and white sign replaces an old black on white sign. The region is replacing all such signs along regional roads, said Mr. Harrison. Seagrave and area news A hearty thank you to all the rain dancers who made it possible for the long needed down pour over the weekend- your energies were not in vain! This past week many children from our commun- ity attended the vacation Bible School at Greenbank. Carol Anne, Mark and Ted Sturman, Melody Anne Som- merville, Kelly Boyle, Scott, Jay and Shane Branton, Mandy and brother Cava- naugh, Bradley Puckrin, Kim, Angie 'and Joey Stone and Tom Crosier were among those present from Seagrave. On the Friday night closing program, the parents were entertained by a resume of the week's acti- vities. Crafts were displayed and songs sung by each of the various groups. Every- day attendance was no less than 75, with 17 teachers and helpers. Betty Sommerville contributed her time and efforts as one of the teach- ers. Attendance collection and registration fee went towards the Star Fresh Air Fund. A special thank you is extended to all the mothers who brought cookies. Saturday night there was a "Buck 'n Doe" for Miss Darlene Watts and Mr. Dennis Johnston at Latcham Community Centre in Port Perry. Many local residents attended. After the hot even- ing many enjoyed a refresh- ing dip in Mr. and Mrs. J. Stones' newly erected pool. Newlyweds Mr. Mrs. Guy Latreille spent a pleasant weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Morley Bruce and family--Guy's new in-laws. Mr. Lawrence Evans was guest speaker in church on Sunday.

Canad With Bill Dodds A word on Sewers..... "Sewers are most danger- ous conveniences. They breed diptheria, fevers and eruptive diseases." "Typhoid and typhus and yellow fever are the children of defective sewage." I'm quoting Mrs. Julia McNair Wright, author of The Complete Home, a U.S. volume of household hints, Victorian Manners and morals and medical mis- information published late in the 19th Century. There's more: "Sewers are as yet never absolutely well contructed. They are never in perfect order. If our own sewers are not dealing us out death, you may be sure that our neigh- bors are bestowing ruin upon us. "Even when we fancy all is right, before the sentinels of nose and palate give a warn- ing of poison, our atmosphere is loaded with spores of disease....our blood is poison- ed by our inhaling poisonous spores. These spores come from decaying animal and vegetable matter and are in their complete state con- tained in the bath-enclosing wash water and chamber refuse of people suffering from these diseases." She may not know medi- cine, or even much about the safe disposal of sanitary wastes, but she's not wishy- washy about her convictions, even when she's wrong. She gets quite colorful on the subject of traps - the bends fitted into plumbing to hold a small stand of water which blocks off any odor from the plumbing below: "Lie awake some night and listen and a whistle like the low hiss of a springing snake warns you that sewer gas is "ignoring the traps and rising through the overflow pipe." * With this sort of medical opinion being distributed to the general public, when sensible information was available, it's a wonder that WES PLUMBING - PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 23, 1975 -- 2) -- KEEPING IT CLEAN - sewers and sewage treat ment were ever accepted in our cities. But they have been accept- ed, with no ill effects from poisonous spores and no ruin bestowed upon us. In fact, modern sewage treatment has permitted healthy urban communities and virtually eliminated the diseases that result from unsanitary prac- tices in dealing with human waste. Five and a half million people in Ontario alone ".re now served by sewage col- lection and treatment v rks and this number is growing steadily. So there, Mrs. Wright!
