Mr. Fry appeared to ask that the Council take some action to keep people from misusing the road leading into the Parker farm. It was agreed that suitable signs should be erected. Mr. E. Lovelock asked that a further letter be sent to General | Motors re: the parking of Army Trucks in the Village of Brooklin.

Miss Margaret | J. Greig, the VON Nurse, is the |'school nurse, a service which has been provided by the Whitby | Branch of the VON for the past two decades. It was also announced | at this meeting that the VON wish- ed to discontinue the service owing |to the increase in duties of the | Nurse in other branches of VON | work in Whitby. Following the reading of the com- prehensive report, a motion was | placed on the books of the Board | authorising a letter of thanks to {be sent to Miss Greig, not only | for her work during the past year {but also for the very fine report which she had submitted. Her re- port follows. "At the beginning of the year, also following the Christmas and Easter holidays, rapid classroom inspections were done on all the children in an attempt to keep communicable conditions and dis- ease under control. Only a few cases of impetigo and scabies were found this year, but pediculosis, although on the decrease, is still a problem. Five pupils were found to have this condition. Communi: cable disease, on the whole, limited itself to measles and chickenpox which together took a heavy toll on school attendance. "Toxoid clinics were held last fall at which Dr. F. A. Caddy administered 275 doses of toxoid. Vaccinating the children against smallpox is still the responsibility of the parents, and approximate- | ly 50 per cent of the Whitby chil- dren have never been vaccinated. "The policy of issuing .pre- school medical and dental cards to the parents when they register their children for school is =still quite successful. Approximately 60 per cent of children starting school had _these examinations and many had their toxoid series before en- tering school. This is the only time it is routine for the child to see his physician during his whole school life, except . where there may be a deviation from normal. Many children go through school | lwithout ever being examined by BROC This Theatre is NOW PLAYING S3rURosy i inee 5:30 om. IT'S HERE AT LAST!

INSPECTIONS "Routine inspections, as outlined by the Department of Health, by the nurse, have been carried out: detailed inspections being made on pupils in grades 1, 4 and 8, and in other grades where defects were found. These inspections indicate the following. Dental health is a problem although dental cards have been issued by the teachers to all the children. Only 45 per cent of all pupils have had dental examinations this year. With some children who particularly need den- tal attention, financial reasons pre- vent their going to a dentist; how- ever the health teaching done by the teacher in the classroom has a very definite effect on their in- terest in dental care. "Vision testing was carried out on grades 1, 4 and 8; as well as on children with vision defects. Visits were made to the homes of these children with new vision | defects and the importance of the child visiting an eye specialist was discussed with parents." We are most grateful to the Whitby Ro- tary Club who. made it possible for 19 children to attend The Hos- pital for Sick Children Eye Clinic. "Of the 40 children who appear- ed to have enlarged tonsils in as- sociation with symptoms that might indicate their effect on the child's health or school progress, it was interesting to note that 11 had their tonsils removed «during the school year. "The services of the Whitby Chest Clinic are available to school children who are referred by their ! physician. COURTICE MRS. C. W. THOMPSON Correspondent COURTICE -- The evening Aus- iliary meeting was. held at the home of the president, Mrs. W. Brown, on Wednesday evening. The meeting opened with a hymn Six children X-rayed in this way. 'The practice lunches at Hillcrest school during the cold weather is of great nu- tritional value. A BUSY YEAR "The past year has been a busy one for the nurse. The number of hours spent in the schools this year was 421, as compared to 424 last year and 228 in 1949 - 50. Dur- ing 1951 - 52 we had a part time nurse who worked almost half- time enabling the staff nurse to spend more time in school work. In 1952 - 53 our relief nurse's time was cut down to two, or at the most, three mornings a week I feel that with the greater enrollment for the coming year that three and one-half afternoons a week spent in the Whitby Public Schools and in home - school visiting by the school nurse not nearly enough, and that .some method will have to be found to provide for more available time for this most im- were { portant aspect of Community nurs- ing. The number of school build- ings used for classes 'also makes the work of the nurse more diffi- cult especially as some classes are held only in the mornings. "The co-operation of the teach- ing staff has been very encourag- | ing during the past year, and would like to thank the. school board for their excellent support."

TO OPEN ON SATURDAY Announcement is made by Man- ahgager Fred Watts that the County The Whitby Board of Health is going fo be asked the advisability of retaining a Public Health Nurse. The request will come from rep- resentatives of the Whitby Public School Board who this week learn- ed thi:t the VON which has for years been supplying a school nurse is no longer able to do so. At this month's meeting of thé Public. School Board, Mrs. Herb. Wilson and three other members of the VON Board appeared be- board and announced that they had found that Whitby's increased | population 'was leading to the point where the VON Nurse would be unable to give proper attention to the school nursing. Mrs. Wilson stated that for some 15 or 20 years, the Whitby Branch of the '| VON has been providing the school nursing service in the town. In the last years, she said, the school population had increased as well as the number of persons in the town requiring the VON care. She stated that the school population had increased by 461 in the past 10 years and in proportion, so had the number of hours devoted by |the VON to the schools. 'She ex- plained that in 1943, the nurse had Bowl on Byron Street north, where many Whitby five-pin bowlers make their headquarters during the fall and winter months, will re-open for the season on Saturday of this week.

Prisoners Had Bath WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS | Will Ask Board For Public Health Nurse 1952, the nurse had spent 420 hours and 55 minutes in schools. 1944, she said, the School Board had paid the VON $544 for this service and in 1952 had paid $939. 'If we continue," will need another nurse and for this reason we would like to dis- continue the service." She said that the VON nurse now spent 80 hours per month on school work in ad- dition to all the other nursing she was required to do in the town. This situation, she said had, re- sulted in nurses becoming dis- contented because of so much work. Until the Board can re- place the school nurse, she added, the VON would continue the ser- vice. As a result of later discussion by members of the Board, Fred Ing and George Munn$ were nam- ed as representatives of the Board to bripg in a report on the situation for the next meeting of the Board. They will contact representatives of the Separate School Board and will arrange with Dr. Cussy, | MOH, for a meeting of the Whitby | Board of Health with the aim of | surveying the possibilities of re- {taining a Public Health Nurse in {the town who would be able to As Christmas Bonus OTTAWA (CP)--Four Canadian ~ | prisoners of war received a Christ- {mas gift from their captors--one | bath apiece--the only one they got in 10'2 months behind enemy lines, an army dispatch said Thursday.
