rush on polio vaccine no need to panic doctor stouffville reported cases of polio outbreak among members of the dutch reform congregation in oxford county has led to such a demand for vaccinations that supplies at both local medical offices have been entirely depleted the medical offices im munized about 50 people tuesday before running out of adult serum which is a com bination of salk vaccine and tetanus ordinarily they carry enough vaccine for about 100 inoculations the department of health pharmacy the usual supplier is not expected to have any vac cine until next week connaught labs the manufacturer of the vaccine will have to go into production before the tremendous demand can be met it is estimated that as many as three million adults in on tario are in need of im munization children receive boosters at school so the problem is exclusively among adults i personally cant see any great reason to panic but people should be made aware of the need for immunization said dr john button associate medical officer of health for york region dr eric holowaty told the tribune there is no evidence the general public has increased risk adults lax in maintaining immunity should be immunized over the next month give us a chance to prepare a little bit demand has been so great that the health unit will hold fullday clinic from 9 am to 4 pm at the newmarket offices usually they hold a halfday clinic dr holowat- said they are expecting 1000 people at the friday clinic and he said it is doubtful they will have enough vaccine to immunize everybody who attends we expect to turn people away he said stouffville medical offices had hoped to get some vaccine from the health unit but ac cording to dr holowaty there is none to spare we are just being swamped it demonstrates that

uxbridge council last week by rick duchame representative of the toronto area transit operating authority tatoa a study was done on the route and tatoa found that it was not viable due to the low amount of users however before cutting it out entirely they have decided to give it another six months mr duchame said a second similar 4run had been terminated last july according to mr duchame the run has not increased in passengers in the six months a normal bus run will increase after a few months if it doesnt we take a good hard look at its viability thats what were doing here councillor alan wells who said he has used the route and found the service to be ex cellent commented that its disappointing more arent using it possibly because its summer now and more use their cars that could be one reason for the low number luckily we havent lost it yet though it is a good service mr duchame replied that airport study one year late pickering the much delayed federalprovincial study into the need for the pickering airport originally due at the end of 1977 may not be completed until the end of the year dave garner manager of aviation services for the ontario ministry of transportation and communications said that information is still being compiled on air and rail traffic forecasts the study which is being carried out in cooperation with the federal ministry of tran sport is supposed to provide data on which a decision regarding the airports future will be made i the airport project was shelved in 1975 when the provincial government an nounced it would not provide services to the airport massive opposition to the plan forced the progressive conservative government then newly reduced to minority government status to refuse to service the site that was one reason for the six month reprieve we only carry about 35 people a day on the route six from uxbridgethats not a tremendous amount but because of factors such as summer weve given it another try maybe it will pick up in the winter however were not catering to a tremendous market in the first place mr duchame noted that since go took over the service in 1976 one route has already been dropped the claremont to markham to finch subway because we already had a claremont to markham route before it was a duplication of service tribune wins again it was learned this week that the tribune has won a third
