Be in Excellent State of Purity DEATH STATISTICS Dr. McGillivray, Makes Some Recommendations to Health Board 4 (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Jan. 31,--The matter of milk supply, garbage collection and general health conditions were ah- Jy dealt with in the annual report of Dr. C. F. MeGillivray, Medical ;Officer of Health, which was pre? sented at the first meeting of the Board of Health for 1920, held at Dy. MceGillivray's residence yester- day afternoon, The report showed that of a to- dal population of 5,195, including the Ontario Hospital and the House of Refuge, tiere were 129 «deaths recorded last year giving death rate of 24.8 per 1,000 of pop- mlation. The population of the town proper is 3,720 whiie deaibs @ecurring in the town totalled 17 'giving an acinal death rate of 4.567 per 1,000 people. Deaths at the Ontario Hospital totalled 103, while deaths at the House of Refuge to- talled 10. Infany Mortality There were four deaths of in- fants under one year of age dur- ing 1928, while four still births were recorded. As there were only 49 births registered at the town hall, this would give a high infant mortality of 81.7 for every 1,000 babies. These figures, however, are misleading sss the larger num- ber of Whithy Ivabies are born in the Oshawa Hosprital, and their ar- rival.is recorded in the Oshawa City Hall. The infant mortality rate for Whitby is therefore about one- third of that given above, Commumicalile Diseases Whitby did not escape ecommuni- cable diseases during 1928 as shown by the fact that there were 16 cases of mumps, 8 cases of chicken pox, 2 cases of diptheria, 6 of measles and 1 of German measles, Mumps and chicken pox were apparently 'prevalent but no deaths resulted from communicable disease. «The report indicates that the lo- cal milk supply is obtained from private vendors and is fair to good in eharacter, The purity of the water supply as pumped from Lake Ontario is termed excellent due to sand (filtration and chlorination. _. "he Doctor's Comments , Dr. McGillivray makes a written comment upon his report as fol- WSs: « "To the Board of Health, Whitby. "Gentleman: "I anr plessed to submit the em- closed report and to add the fol- Jowing remar.<s. ,. {1)--*"Speci.mens of milk from each of the milk vendors of Whit- by were collected from time to time and sent to Toronto for exam- ination. The tests varied very much in butter fai and in bacteria eount and not always to the advan- tage of the pasteurized milk. Sev- eral of these examinations were made but tests should be more fre. quent. I advise the board to com- sider seriously inspection of barns from which the vendors obtain their supply. (2)--*Many complaints were submitted to the Board during the year, most of which were settled satisfactorily. Sometimes disagree- @ble duties came before the board, ditions Here one of which was declaring one of the cottages at Haydenshore Park as unfit for habitation just as the summer season was beginning. Ans other unpleasant duty was the ine spection of the registry office by the M.O.H, with regard to sanitary conditions and making an unfav- orable report thereon, which report I think stimulated the county coun- cll to immediate action, to enlarge the premises, to provide more air space and to provide sanitary con- venjences, Fear of Diphtheria (3)--'Fear of an outbreak of diphtheria at the Deaconness' Home at Haydenshore Park caused swahs to be taken from the throats of each of the inmates, These swabs were sent to the Provincial Board of Health. Five suspects were reported each of whom receiv- ed preventative doses of antitoxin, No cases of diphtheria developed. The child who did develop diphth- eria had been returned to Toronto before being reported to the local hoard. (4)--"Efforts continue to he made to close up all outside closets in the prescribed area as a consid- erable number of these closets still remain, Evidently in some cases pressure will have to be brought upon owners in the prescribed area to adhere to the regulations per- taining thereto, (B)--*'The question of the eol- lection and the distribution of gar- bage throughout the town is ever becoming mrore pressing, I am glad to note that the town council has this matter under consideration.

SAYS PATRIOTISM NOT MANIFESTED 'ENOUGH IN CANADA Montreal, Jan. 31.----A matural- ization ceremony to take place pre- ferably on Dominion Day was strongly advocated by Dr. W. J. Black, director of colonization, ag- riculture and natural resources for the Canadian National Railways, in addressing the Montreal Women's Club recently.
