wells are situated at the lower end of a large of sand and gravel The has boon closely defined by test holes but the continuous pumping of these wells lowered the water table in this considerably ihe scheme was devised to recharge the area and raise the water table hut was not meant to in crease the supply Immediately The water bearing strata In the area around the wells Is only feet below the ground Ihe overburden Is top soil clay fine sand In order to the in only were required to go depth of feet In the first ense they sank five foot diameter tile to the for mation and directed water from the creek Into It This was sit uated some feet from the producing well This tile return cd about gallons per to the strata hut evidence of pollution showed In the produc ing well Heavy was required In the second case they moved feet from the producing well and excavated a hole by 25 deep In the centre of this they constructed a well CO feet In diameter into aquafer The hole was allowed to fill with water which soaks down the well to below ground With this system they expect to recover about gal lons per year They are contem plating another Installation of this type method has stopped the tat static level The costs to the present time are about of which the Con servation Authority has contrib uted about percent Tho Is In an ideal location as it is close to the surface The recharging can only carried out when the surface water Is clear Turbidity In even a small amount will clog the en trance well and reduce the flow Recharging is carried out mainly in fall and early summer As the method Is used In Ayl It will not work In Newmar ket It does not immediately In crease the supply to any well The depth of strata In Newmar ket prevents the use of a large open pit and we know of no

addition to the perman ent water supply What was not so obvious was that continued building of new homes and premises for com merce and industry on vacant lots in the builtup area of the town would

Arnold Relnke treasurer Mr Orton badge secretary Mr Bert chair men of committees building Mr Hayes salvage drives Mr Nelson Ion and transportation Mr A Donahue notice of the situation and to be prepared to take precautionary measures added Dr King listed the control of strays as key to preventing rabies The first step is to prevent dogs from running at large dog owners should have their pets vaccinated against the di sease Finally children should be urged not to touch dead ani mals they find in the fields and to keep away from strange dogs- Dr King said Since two foxes have been found to have rabies one of these was killed in the area and the other east of Newmarket it is by health authorities and the veter- with the Health Ani mals branch of the department of Agriculture that the disease is widespread among the wild life of this area- From the wild life rabies can spread to domes tic animals and thence to hum- these experts said Considering the danger of epidemic said Mrs Hooper and the fact that rabies is percent fatal untreated all owners should have their dogs vaccinated not only to protect their pets but for the safety of their children Stephen Hooper had his first treatment on Friday night In explaining the Pasteur anti- rabies treatment Dr King said that daily injections of the vac cine must be given humans for a period of days or longer Ik the only treatment which la recognized and accepted in Can- V It has its disadvantages A small percentage of people who receive the antirabies develop a brain disease encepha litis which although not sometimes leaves permanent par alysis Doctors do not have too much choice in the matter con sidering the fact that rabies if left untreated is percent fat al said Dr King Because of the unpleasantness of the treatment which a child must undergo If bitten by a dog and the suffering an animal dures If it develops rabies strkt measures of controlling stray have been recommended by Health unit and adopted by majority of municipalities in county If people could realize how- terrible an epidemic can be when domestic animals become infect ed said Mrs Noble who lived through such an epi demic In England during the last war they would not take this situation so lightly It Is small matter to keep your dog tied or in the house ami to have him vaccinated ft In costume at tun Grant Morton scores one of two goals
