continues to be good- during the past year the health units part in maintain ing this good level has been a holding the line action no new services were started in 1956 apart from opening a branch office in aurora next week and a proposed expansion of stouffville branch office no other new senices are planned for 1957 last year it was drawn to your attention that there was an increasing urgency to safeguard water supply in quality and quantity particularly for built- up areas further light has been thrown on this subject during the past year but we should not consider ourselves out of the woods yet it remains to be seen whether the ontario water re sources commission may yet plan an important part in assist ing in the supply on an eco nomic basis of good quality water to the aurora newmar ket south lake simcoe area and the yonge street front of markham and vaughan town ships the private home owner in the rural area is by no means overlooked in the water picture water testing of private wells on request in rural areas am ounted to 426 water tests taken in the year regular checks on sanitary quality of municipal water sup plies in the eight public water systems were carried out regu larly to ensure continued safety for the large number of consum ers served by these municipal systems it is noted that many complaints are regularly receiv ed regarding taste colour and sediment in certain localities continuing reassurance from the health point of view that these particular municipal wat ers continue to be safe for con sumption and that the waters physical defects are outside the immediate field of public health does not appear to completely satisfy the complainants they are then referred to the water works superintendents in their local area for further considera tion of what appears to be an economic problem rather than a health problem a word of commendation should be said to the 14 muni cipal mayors reeves and coun cillors and their planning boards for the close cooperation they have given the health unit in ensuring close supervision of waste disposal and plumbing installations and for future pro vision of the same on a private or municipal basis in new sub division developments check ing of plans advising and as sisting contractors builders and owners and providing supervi sion of installation continues to be a major time consumer for the sanitary and plumbing in spectors even though there has been a levelling off in building activity in the county municipal waste disposal con tinues to be a local problem residents of

bruce j stoucfer and family of canning- j ton on sunday discouraged with the rate of progress toward adequate sew- age disposal facilities for new market while this view is con fined to public health it is of course true that communy eco nomic health and public health are interdependent the lack of adequate sewage disposal facili ties in newmarket is certainly a millstone delaying healthy economic growth there should also be particu lar concern about the continuing lack of municipal sewage dis posal facilities in the yonge st front area of markham and vau ghan townships in this well- defined area of urban develop ment along yonge street north of steeles avenue which is des perately needing municipal sew age services the people are ap parently being denied the neces sities of adequate health protec tion because they are too close but not close enough to metro politan toronto unfortunately the problem seems to be the im mediate concern of planning offi cials although it would appear to have long ago slipped through the stage susceptible to plan ning in a local sense and became developed community sewerage problem desperately in need of action to protect the community from the hazards that are rife in sewage seeping in to the ditches roadways and streams the village of woodbridge is in the horrible position of being soaked in sewage with little hope of being washed clean as long as woodbridges balance be tween assessment and debt re mains much the same the vill age apparently must continue to wallow in septic tank effluent as long as this unsanitary con dition continues the village will not likely be able to improve its assessment picture perhaps this is a situation where the hypo thetical banker to salvage his original investment must plunge in further before the red ink will change to black and the hazards of seepage will be chan ged to the glow of health garbage collection and garb age clumps throughout the coun ty have been under scrutiny dur ing the year most municipali ties have some provision for gar bage collection in builtup areas the most notable defect is the grossly inadequate supervision of dumping operations and ir regular maintenance of dump sites many dumps or dumping operations are operated private ly or by concession from muni cipal councils unfortunately it appears that private enterprise tends to do a poor job of garb age dump operation it is recom mended that municipalities ac cept more direct responsibility for garbage dump operations in order to check any worsening of a growing public health prob lem polio vaccination of children in public schools separate schools high schools and private schools in the county is almost complete in 1955 there were 5200 children in grades 1 2 and 3 given two doses of salk vac cine in 1956 this was increased by another 12636 children in re maining grades third doses are now being given to those who already have had two doses new entry and stragglers are getting the first two doses and all high school students are being offered two doses an additional 13541 children by next april if vac cine supplies continue to arrive an estimated 20000 preschool children down to 6 months of age will be offered salk vac cine a special word of apprecia tion should be said to the many practising physicians in the lo cal communities who have as sisted in the polio vaccination program a tabulation of some of the highlights of the years work is before you to outline in part the broad scope of your health units daily activities the ad vent of polio vaccine in 1955 and the urgency to inoculate as many children as possible in the most susceptible age groups has taken a great many hours of public health nursing staff time a shortage of trained pub lic health nurses during 1956 reduced the public health nursj ing staff in the field from 15 to i 11 or almost 25 reduction i since the middle of last year these two factors produced a sharp decline in the amount of j public health nursing time de voted to the vital fields of mater nal health infant health and school health which are the foundations of a healthy popu lation as you know infant and ma i ternal mortality rates are re ferred to by welfare experts as the measure of civilization on tarios infant mortality rate is excessively high ranking 6th be hind national rates for sweden new zealand the netherlands j australia and norway we need to do more on a local basis to combat this poor record of in fant deaths in addition in york county we are still not engaging in a practical mental health pro gram in a field that is economi cally sound since the investment of a few preventive dollars is now known to save taxpayers money in the long run since it costs the taxpayer over 1000 per annum to keep mentally ill patients in hospital another serious gap in pre venting costly and unnecessary illness and death is the lack of sufficient effort directed toward accident prevention accidental death is the sixth biggest cause of death in the whole popula tion and the first cause of death in youth and young adulthood most of these deaths occur fol lowing accidents at home and for the most part could be pre vented another almost unscratched field in york county is the main tenance of health and wellbeinj for the aged and infirm apart from those elderly people al ready in york manor every ef fort should be made to assist incapacitated citizens to return to a profitable and productive ex istence as we live longer there are more of us in the older level of life and up to the present we have very little
