THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 1929 "ROTARIANS HEAR OF RELIEF WORK TOR CRIPPLES (Continued from page 3) ig to treatment, which might apy period from 3 to 15 years Infantile Paralysis Other deformities acquired through infections included in- fantile paralysis, which could be cured by a serum only if it was used early in the disease, and before the paralysis set in, De- ficlency diseases that caused de- formities included scurvy and particularly rickets, "There is no necessity for any child to have ritkets--it is caused only by lack of sunshine and of proper foods." Deformities caused by rickets could generally be cured, he stat- Deformities at Birth Several deformities which were found to be present at birth, were outlined by the speaker. One of the most common was club foot, which could be cured at any time, Club hands could not be cured so easily, but this condi- tion was rare, Hare lip and cleft palate, which were hereditary, were also found, and also cases where the child had been born without certain bones. Over these the doctors had no control. Another deformity present at birth, but which was not noticed until later, was genital disloca- tion of the hip. This was gener- ally noticed only when the child was learning to walk. This could be cured in most cases by man- ipulation and reduction of the dislocation, or by an operation. The treatment took from six mon- ths to a year, and was only ef- fective if taken early in childhood. Paralysis of the shoulder was also found at birth, one arm of the baby being found to hang useless at its side, If treated during the first few weeks, it was usually cur- able, but if left three months or longer became almost incurable, Other birth injuries, such as in- juries to the head, etc., Were as yet incurable, Birth Control "J human beings showed as mueh {interest in their own pre- geny as they do in breeding cattle and horses, many of our asylums would be empty, and many of the deformities found at birth would be unknown," the speaker declar- ed, He cited a case where all three boys in one family suffered from a certain deformity. It was next to criminal to allow the girls in this family to marry and pro- duce children whose condition would probably be Helpless, lie des clared, "Something in the nature of birth control should be adopted in cases like this, if we are to pro- duce a better race, physically and morally," declared the speaker. Club's Activities The thanks of the club for Dr, Robertson's address was expressed by Mayor FP. B. Mitchell, Dr, G. L. Bird, chairman of the crippled children's committee of the club, introduced Dr Robertson, and gave a report of the committee's activ. | ities last year. Twelve cases had been cared for by thé Rotary Club during ihe year, he . Of these, seven been supplied by the club with special corrective braces, boots, etc, three had ; given hospital treatment for tuber- culosis, and three had) been oper- ated upon to correct ther deform- ities, The expenses to the club were about $950, which included hospital maintenane, but not sur. geon's fees, which were supplied gratis by the Sick Children's Hos- pital, being met out of voluntary contributions to the Hospital fund, So far this fiscal year of the Ro- tary Club about #300 had been spent, he said, Three children who had been given treatment at the expenses of the club were present and their cases were explained to, the members by Dr. Robertson. A number of the medical men of Oshawa, as well as several mem- bers of the city public health nur- sing staff, were guests of the club at this meeting. Rotarians and other visitors were present from Detroit, Mich., Toronto, Bowman- ville, and Oshawa, The club decided to donate $260 to the gymnasium -at the. Boys' Training School, Bowmanville, which was erected by the co-opera~ tive effort of a number of Rotary Clubs, It, was announced that the next Monday's meeting would be held at the Ontario Hospital, Whitby.

"Ferguson denied my know- ledge of an election up to within a few hours of its official an- nouncement, which showed that I was a superior prophet and prog- nosticator than the premier. If the premier didn't know there was go- ing to be an election until a few 'hours before it was announced, he should give up his job," Mr, Sin- clair, remarked, Finances Issuc The Liberal party believed that it could effect reductions in taxa- tion and bring in an era of sound financing in the province, he said. "The members of the present gov- ernment have an idea that they are the 'whole works,' They should be directors for the people, be- cause all the people are share- Joidans in the government. The 'government should better living conditions and reduce taxation, and if it does not give its attention to these matters, it is simply en- gaging in a chase for office," he declared. Mr. Sinclair referred to the is- sue of the Times last night, when the manifestos of the three party leaders were printed, side by side. He asked his supporters to get this paper, read all of the manifestos carefully, and compare them for themselves, and save them for re- ference from time to time during the campaign, The contentions of the Ferguson manifesto were nothing but a re- view of what the government thought it had done, he 54d, add- ing that the Liberal manifesto con- tained the issues on which the election would be fought. Urges Strong Effort G. D, Conant, in accepting his election as chairman of the cam- paign committee for Oshawa, cau- tioned the Liberal workers against taking for granted that Mr. Sin- clair would be elected as he had been in the last several elections. Every effort would he made by the Conservatives to defeat him in his own riding, he said, declaring that the campaign committee of the Liberal party would make every effort to elect Mr, Sinclair by an even greater majority than he had received in previous cam- paigns, Mr. Conant paid tribute to the late Dr. Cameron, who was for years chairman of the Liberal organiza- tion in this city, and also to Moses Doolittle, of Columbus, an ardent Liberal worker, who died recent- ly. Brief addresses were also given by A. J. Graves, J, P. Mangan, Les- Re McLaughlin and Mrs. A. W, ell. OBITUARY DEATH OF MRS.

OSHAWA PEOPLE DONATE BLOOD 10 MAKE SERUM (g o3vd woay penujuo)d) ince where the disease is showing it- self, Dr. Porbes Godfrey, minister of health, recently stated that in 95 per cent, of the cases in which it was used, there was complete recovery of the patient, ' The arrangements for the taking of blood from the local cases were made by the local health department, with the co-operation of the provincial de- partment. Every person who had suf- feged from the disease from onc to filteen years ago was approached, and the willingness which they showed to. give their blood made a great impression. on Dr, McKay, the medical health. officer. +, Oshawa's Good Record Oshawa has had a remarkable re- cord of freedom from this discase. There, were no. cases, last year, and only twa in 1927, one of these pro- ving fatal. This year, there have been three cases, but only of a very mild type, and in each of these the patient recovered, Today's unusual event at the hospital is' part of an intensive program by the provincial health authorities to use every mcans at their disposal to combat the discase. The blood secured is all pooled, so as to give a supply from persons who have suffered from all degrees of in- fantile paralysis, thus proyiding a sc- rum which has proven effective in eleven out of twelve cases. FIRST MEETING OF MUSIC STUDY CLUB Varied and Interesting Pro- gram Given at Opening Fall Meeting Mrs. E. Bradley, Simcoe street north, was hostess Lo the Music Study Club last night at her home, when the first meeting of the sea- son was held. The program opened with the singing of "God Save the King," Mrs. McGibbon at the. piano. The president, Mrs. Andison, spoke briefly, outlining plans for the year and commenting uppn special features introduced by the execu- tive. Mrs. Andison then ealléa upon the guests of thé evening who were to present the program. A piano solo, "Scherzo," by Raff was well rendered by Mr. Gould- burn, of Knox Presbyterian church, and was followed by an "Arabes que," by Chaminade, which number also was particularly well reeeivs ed. Mr. Mills contributed the solo "0 God Have Mercy," from Men- gave as an encore "Duna." Both Mr. Mills' numbers were done in excellent fashion and were much appreciated by the club. Two vocal solos by Mrs. Keith, of Toronto, were charming contri- butions to the program. Mrs. Keith gave "Under the Greenwood Tree," by Buzzi Peccia and "Myr- ra," by Clutsan from a suite "Songs of the Turkish Hills." Later on she song '"'Vilanelle," by Dell' Ae- qua and a Russian folk song ar- ranged by Efram Zimbalist. Mrs. Keith's fresh soprano voice and de- lightful personality won her audi- ence completely. She was aceom- panied at the piano by Mrs. Mc- Gibbon whose artistic playing .ot the instrumental parts contributed not a little to the effectiveness of the songs. Mr. Gouldburn did the accom- paniments for Mr. Mills' solos and appeared again upon the program in two solo numbers, "Toccato In C," by Onslow, a brilliant and viva- cious composition and Schumann's "Novelletten," No, 7. These pieces brought to a close a varied and at- tractive evening of music by three musicians who were entirely new upon the program of the Oshawa Music Study Club. The club is indebted not only to the artists themselves, but to Miss Ida Arnott, who had charge of the music and to Mrs, Bradley, who as- #i8ted her and hospitably lent her house for the occasion. A vote of thanks was accordingly moved by Mrs. Roy Bennett, seconded by Miss Elizabeth Ensley and tendered by the president, Mrs. Andison. A pleasant social hour was en- joyed at the close of the musical part of the program and was fol- lowed by a brief executive meeting in preparation for the sessions of the coming season.
