the help needed by the brave little finlanders overconfidence or nobody cares should the electors show as much indifference and disinterest on election day as is being displayed to day in the forthcoming contest on march 26 the clear cut decision that the government hope to have would be anything but satisfactory of course there are two and a half weeks to go and a lot of interest can be worked up in that time nevertheless locally we have never seen so quiet a contest it either means overconfidence or that nobody cares department note filing of reports behind schedule the town of walkerton who has had their appointment of a new town treasurer almost disallowed by the dept of municipal affairs was told for one thing that their auditors report which should have been received by march 1st was away behind time of course that is only a small affair but it goes to show other municipal councils that they must keep up with the orders of the day from queens park otherwise some of the privileges they now enjoy may be cut off there are a lot of municipalities that fail to pro duce the auditors report within the required time and some day they are going to hear about it too now that ontario government pays a goodly portion toward local taxation they intend to have a say of course criticism of such a nature concerning auditors is all for the protection of the ratepayers and is welcomed by them pure milk and water for stouffville the citizens of stouffville may rightfully feel that we are a favored and fortunate lot in that we have one of the cheapest and purest water supplies in all ontario and now comes the announcement that we also have a a one grad ing in our milk supply obtained only after long and tedious months of striving to become as it were perfect on the part of the local maple leaf daily a producer of as perfect milk as can be obtained not all small municipalities are yet under the pasteur ization law but they are fast being forced to adopt it while stouffville was even under the law before the law was made that is the pasteurization of milk went on heie be fore it was compulsory- on the merger of the town dairies new machinery with greater output capacity was installed and it naturally required a good deal of adjusting to ob tain perfection in handling of the dairy supply but with attention to the last detaij success crowned the effort three perfect tests over recent weeks warrant the ontario dept of health pronouncing our plant owned by mr clayt baker to be fully up to all the requirements of the act this becomes a fact almost simultaneously with pre mier hepburns statement in the legislature a few days ago that already evidence was developing that lives could be saved by the pasteurization of milk this received with gratification by those who had been supporting this legis lation and by health officers in town like stouffville where pasteurization has been in vogue for some years with satisfactory results typhoid fever was clown 49 per cent- in 1939 and there were 32 per cent less cases of undulant fever the latter entirely a milkborn disease typhoid deaths were down 76 per cent the premier said news of this marked improvement will be received by health authorities all over north america with profound interest according to dr gordon bates general director of the health league of canada he stated that the pro gressive legislation of the ontario government had been hailed by leaders in public health both in canada and the united states as one of the greatest contributions to health anywhere- it has long been established he says that raw milk is responsible for a vast amount of illness and disablement and with the growth of knowledge on the part of the public in north america more and more communities have adopt ed pasteurization we are proud that ontario was the first province or state to attack the problem on a broad scale and the government will naturally be complimented internationally on the latest proof of the value of pasteuri- zatio besides diminishing undulant fever typhoid fever and bovine tuberculosis pasteurization will undoubtedly affect infant mortality unofficially it is said that there was a considerable improvement in 1939 and when the fin al figures are released we may expect ontario to make a new record- this year will see another group of municipalities come under the working of the act too mamy promises lib a told the people of canada are grateful to mackenzie king for what he has accomplished for unity in canada r a irwin liberal candidate in york east riding
