IMMUNIZING FOR CHILDREN URGED Whooping Cough, Diph- theria and Scarlet Rever Take Heavy Toll Toronto, Aug. 30-- (OP)--Whoop- ing cough, dipntheria and scarlet fever--all preventable diseases-- take a greater annual toll of lives then poliomyelitis (Infantile paraly- sis) whieh now is of epidemic pro- portions in Montreal and above average h other parts of the coun- . the Health League of Canada sald today. Ina statement issued in connect~ fon with national immunization week Sept. 20--Oct. 5, the League said the polio outbreak is "tragic" but warned that other diseases are deadlier, In 1045 there were more deaths--4567--from whooping cough than from polio, diphtheria and scarlet fever combined. Polio cases this year total almost 1,000, including more than deaths. The 1043-45 average for Whoop~ ing cough was 14,885 cases and 402 deaths, the Health League sald. Other figures for the same period: diphtheria--3,034 cases, 289 deaths each year; scarlet fever--17,180 cas- es, 08 deaths; poilo--477 cases, 30 deaths. The statement sald it is tragie that medical science has been un- successful in attempts to develop a preventive for polio "but it also is tragic that the Canadian public does not co-operate 100 per cent in using available means to wipe out or curb diseases which are either wholly or partially preventable." Thousand of lives had been saved by toxoid, almost 100 per cent effec- tive against diphtheria. Whooping cough vaccine was 80 per cent ef- fective and immunized persons who contracted the disease suffered milder attacks, Scarlet fever's im- munizing agent was 80 per cent ef- fective. "Despite availability of these pro- fective measures, the diseases con- cerned still menace the health of Canada's population, children pare ticularly," the statement said. "As long as parents neglect to have their children immunized by these effeciive agents, these particular diseases will continue to prove a greater menace than polio, except in years when polio is in severe epi- demic stage."

The field is being cleared at the present time and will be devel- oped further as soon as ible, The boys have already held their fleld days on the fleld.

Dam Bullt Last Year The dam, which is one of the main items in the development was constructed last year and this railings were placed along either side of the walk across the dam leading to the council hall, 14 feet th to about three feet at the northwest corner for the advantage of the smaller boys and non-swimmers, A wide sand beach rises to the north of the Jake and here is located the lifeguards tent. The boys are not allowed in the lake unless (either) the lifeguard is in attendance or they are under the supervision of experienced scouters., Mr. Me- Laughlin is providing 10 canoes and 10 ls and the kyaks built by the boys hy part of their training also are ready for use on the lake. » In addition to the entrance from the Fifth Concession Road, where the caretaker's residence is located, & main entrance is now being de~ FOR SALE New Sea King OUTBOARD MOTOR WITH KEN MAC CEDAR SKIFF Priced Complete $350.00 CHRISTIAN'S ELECTRIC -- HARDWARE OSHAWA BELLEVILLE 50 | uished educationalist and Director CARPE WANTED Touring The West THE HON, WILFRID BOVEY Dominion Honorary Councillor of Education for the Canadian Legion, BESL, who is visiting the West pre- paring for a discussion "Education for Democracy".

Evergreens were planted here by the Oshawa Horticultural Society and already the scouts have planted between 40,000 and 50,000 tres throughout the camp, including rows along the fence which en- closes the entire site. A Guide tree was planted at the camp entrance by the Lady Baden- Powell, World Chief Guide, during her visit to Oshawa on June 5 last.

Admits Drinking MacPhail admitted he had been drinking but insisted he was not drunk, He described his language as "saucy", rather than abusive or obscene, as had been alleged by the Crown, "I was sober enough to go home," stated accused, "If I'd been as drunk as Sheppard claims it would baye been easy to arrest me I told him the sidewalk is as much mine ALEX VAJDA Building Contractor | PHONE 3843.3 as anybody's.

Be hesitated when Mr. Hall asked him if accused was drunk, but sald McPhail was staggering and his speech was thick. Robert Haris, acting for the de- fence, told the court there was no evidence that an arrest was war- ranted when Sheppard attempted to take accused to jail. He claimed that if the constable had been "more experienced," he would have been able to handle the situation without difficult, "It is an unusual defence that a peace officer cannot arrest a drunk," declared Mr. Hall, "This is a simple case of a man co; home drunk and being given a break, In- stead of going home quietly he beats up the constable and offers to lick the Chief, the mayor and the provincial police. There is no evidence that Sheppard hit accus- ed with the billy except MacPhail's testimony."
