/ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1930 Baap fo pc PAGE THREE ealth Nurse Notes Progress in the Care of Children's Teeth | Question of Water Supply For City Farm Now Betore Utilities Commission, Health Board Told Citizens of Cedardale Com- . plain Against Odors Aris- ing from Fertilizer in ALD. E. JACKSON BRINGS UP MATTER Board of Health Learns That City Council Is Consider- ing Matter of Sewage Dis- posal for Lake Area The question of a proper water supply for the city farm is now be- ing taken up by the public utilities commission, Ald. Wm. Boddy in- formed the board of health at its regular meeting, last night. Ald. Boddy also stated that the matter of sewage disposal for the area at the lake, is being considered by the city council and the board of © wor! SE board of at some length with the . complaint brought to the board by Alderman Jackson, regard- "ing the unpleasant odors arising in ,-a warehouse on Bloor street east, .-owned by John Burns, and which is being fitted for the growing of «= mushrooms, Alderman Jackson ~ stated to the board that the resi- = dents of the district were very much opposed to the odors con- ~ tinuing and asked that the board health dealt 'z do something to remove them. = Dr, T, W. G. McKay stated in an interim report that the building "which is known as the old fruit storage warehouse was taken over by Mr. Burns for the growing of mushrooms and that a considerable "ar unt of fertiliv ¢ was stored in . tue basement the purpose of . rotting. It was necessary to leave the doors open, the Doctor said, to _ afford proper maturing, but after "this stage was completed, it was ~ expected that Mr. Burns would in- * stall a system whereby the fertili- . ger would be sprayed with material "that would kill flies. Another step i to be taken, it was expected was to install an air circulation system * that would carry off the odors and ' pass them through a water spray that would remove ammonia and other gases. Rae pointed out that the con- ition as it existed at the present time was only temporary'and that whereas the curing of the fertilizer had to be done this yeas in the building that in years to come the fertilizer would be cured before it was placed in the building. Dr. McKay stated that he had made a thorough investigation of the whole matter in company with the district inspector and had re- ceived a report from him in which the inspector stated that he did not think there was any ground for action on the part of the Board of Health as it was not-a menace to public health, he considered, Dr. McKay thought that if apy action was to be taken it should be taken by the individual residents of: the district affected. Dr. McKay informed the board that the. South Clinie, which had in other years been held in a church building and which had been heat- ed during the winter months with coal from the bins of the church at no cost to the board, would, no doubt, place a burden upon the . church, and he asked that some eans be provided by the Board to eat the building other than by the fuel, provided by the church, Alder- man Boday moved that $30 be set aside to buy fuel for the heating of the building for the South Clinic, | i BTOVIN--In the Oshawa General Hospital on Wednesday, October 1, 1930, George Gillespie, age 8 months, infant son of Mr, and Mrs. R.

(78a) Stork Brought se New Babies Here During September The stork brought 56 new babies to Oshawa during the month of September, accord- ing to vital statistics releas- ed by the city clerk's office, Cupid was not as active as usual, however, and only 20 couples were united in wed- lock, compared with 30 for September a year ago. Thir- ty Geaths occurred during the month, of which 19 were children below the age of one year. The vital statis. tics for the corresponding month of last year were as follows, 57 births, 80 mar- riages and 25 deaths. TAKE PRECAUTIONS T0 PROTECT FOOD SUPPLY FOR CTY Meat Carcasses Examined py Inspector Found To Be of High Standard A notable feature of Lhe report of Dit C. 8. Dickinson, Veterinary and Food Inspector, presented to the board of health last night, is that out of a total of 200 carcas- ses of meat inspected not one was condemned. This in itself speaks well for the care that is being tak- en by the butchers in the city, and abbatoirs outside, to provide high class meats for the consumption of the citizens, Another feature of the report is that 12 cattle which supply milk to the city were given a second test for tuberculosis and out of that number not one reacted. A close check is being kept on the milk supply of the city as is seep in the report which shows that 3% visits were made to dairy farms during the month and that 87 sedi- ment tests were made, The following is a report of ac- tivities for the month ending Sep- tember 27 1930: : Cattle T. B, tested, 12 (2nd test); Cattle reactors, 0; Visits to Dairy Farms, 88; Visits to dairies, 20; Samples of pasteurized milk taken, 8; Samples of new milk tak- en, 88; Sediment tests taken, 87; Visits to ice cream parlors, 1; Visits to bakeries, 3; Visits to res- taurants, 1; Visits to delicatessen shops, 1; Visits to fruit stores, 1: Visits to bottling works, '1; Fruit truck inspections, 3; Dairy barns re whitewashed, 3; Slaughter houses re-whitewashed, 1; Carcasses of beef, veal, lambs, pork inspected, 200; Visits to slaughter houses, 64; Visita to butcher shops, 30; Visits re dog under quarantine and observation, 5; Board of Health meetings attended, 2, RUMORS DENIED Bucharest, Ronmania.-- Reports Queen Helene, divorced wife of King Carol 11, planned to leave the country were denied in well-in- formed quarters ehre, J. M. ELSON SPEAKS AT FIRST MEETING Canadian Poetry And Poets Is Subject at First Class The first of this season's Uni- versity Extension Lectures was giv- en by Professor Bison, author of the historical novel "The Scarlet Sash," whieh deals with the war of 1812, His subject was "Canadian Poets and Authors." The country, he said, which had developed an artistic and aesthetic sense was more truly great than that . which excelled in commerce or in war. Canada in her history covering almost four centuries, had produced a literature, especially In the last half-century, which must impress even its pronounced de- tractors. But it was almost a tra- gedy that some of our greatest lit- erary lights, who had contributed more to our essential well-being than all the great captains of in- dustry, had had a constant battle with poverty, or had migrated to the United States in search of de- cent remuneration, The lecturer referred to some of our earlier writers, The prolific and popular De Mille Goldsmith, a relative of Owen Goldsmith, Major John Richardson, almost as popul- ar as Fenimore Cooper, and above all Haliburton, the originator of the American school of humor, who probably influenced Dickens him- self, But what might almost be called our Golden Age commenced about the time of Confederation, when so many of our greatest writers were born--Gilbert Parker, Bliss Car- men, Charles G. D. Roberts, and Miss Marshall Saunders, The last he described as our most famous authoress, one of whose books, 'Beautiful Joe', had been translated into eleven different languages, Roberts was the originator of the animal type of story, now so popu- lar all over the English speaking world, Carmen was recognized as a great poet by the severest critics of France, Germany and Britain, Professor Elson concluded with a number of lantern slides, illustrat- ing his lecture, He had a delight- tul snapshot of Bliss Carmen and his cousin, Charles G. D. Roberts, enjoying an anecdote together, and another of Dr. Roberts, Miss Saunders, Wilson Macdonald, and the lecturer himself, Archibald Lampman's photograph was shown, that brilliant poet richly endowea in intellect but poorly equipped in physique; who died in his late thir- ties, 'There was a picture of a beautiful island in a river where Pauline Johnson is supposed to have composed "her famous poem, "The Song my Paddle Sings," and one of the wild romantic coast where her ashes were strewn, In closing he referred to Mazo de la Roche, the anthoress of Tal era. Genius he sald, was half work and Miss de la Roche had tolled incessantly for sixteen years before she became famous. When at length she won the Atlantic Month- ly prize for Talera, she triumphed over eleven hundred and fifty oth- er writers fram all parts of Ameri- ca and Britain, Next week Professor Carna of Toronto University, will lecture on the "Modern Spanish Drama.' A COMPLETE SUCCESS "There's a wonderful echo around here," said the guide, "but you have to shout very loud, Now just yell 'two pints, of beer'!"" The man shouted and then lis- tened. "I hear no echo," said he. "Oh, well," said the guide, "here comes the inn-keeper with our beer, anyway." Market Summary , A Card of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. A.

EXTENSION CLASS | council for the manner in which it has handled the unemployment problem, was voiced by Eddie Mec~ Donald, leader and spokesman for the unemployed, at a meeting held in Memorial Park yesterday after- noon, McDonald urged that the jobless men and women of the city "stick together" in order to keep the seriousness of their situation before the eyes of the council and the public. Hot denial of a statement, alleg- ed to have been made by Ald, Wm, Sulley, that he was a Bolshevik proved an outstanding feature of McDonald's remarks. "Ald, Sulley claims that anyone who criticizes the council as I have criticized it, must be a Bolshevik. At that rate Premier Bennett and MacKenzie King must be Bolsheviks om, for criticizing each other," he said. Unemployed Are Urged "To Stick Together" At Meeting Held in Park Yesterday Further criticism of the city "I have no use for Communists," the speaker continued, "but eond}- tions such as exist today drive men and women to Communism," Unless thé city council grappled the situation seriously, McDonald said that he would lay the respon- sibility for all crimes, committed in the city, at the door of the coun- eil, The amount which the city pro- posed to pay families in relief was too little, the speaker contended, His opinion was that the amount should be raised to $15.90 a week as he belleved that the city's share of this would only be one third, He thought that the provincial goverh- ment and Dominfon government would pay the remaining two thirds, "There is not a man here who would not be glad to pay this amount back to the city," he added, Slowly but surely, jobs are com- ing in for the unemployed of Osh- Awa as a result of the campaign being waged by The Times and the Chamber of Commerce, urging the citizens of Oshawa to "Give a Man a Job." Major Hamilton, superin- tendent of the unemployment of- fice, reports that as a result of the appeal, many citizens have tele- phoned to his office asking for the services of a man for a day or two. And this work has been a God send to the men who have been given an opportunity to earn an honest dol. lar or two to help feed their fami- les. But---and there is a very big but--the surface has not been scratched, The casual jobs provid. ed have been all too few. There MAKE IT A REAL I need a man to (woman) M ake it a Real Thanksgiving Give an Oshawa Man a Job Monday, November 10, will be set aside by proclamation from the seat of governmeut as a day tor general rejoicing and Thanksgiving.

Major Hamilton can supply an almost unlimited number of men for casual work. It is only neces- sary to fill in the coupon below and send it to the employment office. 8 Bond 'Street West, or to tele- phone No. 647 or 648, The men are waiting there for jobs, Won't you help them by providing at least one with a day's work--NOW, THANKSCI NG | CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS TO INVESTIGATE CONTRACTS Toronto, Oct, 3.--Enlarging the scope of the probe into engineering contracts, York Township council has decided to ask Judge Herbert Denton to investigate any contracts since 1923, dating the enquiry back two years further than at first planned. It is expected the sittings will be resumed by Judge Denton next Mon- day when charges were laid that members of the council were paid for engineering contracts granted to certain contractors, BUILDING PERMITS TOTAL , 125 September building permits for this city totalled $8125. Permits for five garages were taken out to the value of $600, while permits for two other buildings, including the church to be eretced by the Seventh Day Adventists, totalled $5,025, Permits for moving and altering buildings amounted to $2,500. COOL: WEATHER HERR a Although October is usually a bright and sunny month, the first three days of this month have been anything but bright, There has heen little rain but the sky has been overcast, for hours at a time, and the weather has beeen cool enough to cause many to light their furnace fires, WILLIAM BROAD FINED -Willlam Broad pleaded guilty this morning to a charge of being intoxicated in a public place, It was his first offense and Magistrate Creighton sentenced him to pay $10 and costs, with the option of 30 days in the County Jal, \ -------- OUPS ON DISPLAY.

The Cups will be awarded to the local winners of the competition being run off at the course of the local Tom: Thumb miniature golf company, in all parts of the province for the provincial title. PARK WORK STOPPED Through some disagreement be- tween the members of the bodies re. sponsible for the work, the job of preparing an athletic field and ath- letic track at Alexandra Park has been held up, and twelve men who were working at the park, are again without employment. City Engin- eer Smith has refused to go ahead unless written orders are forth- coming either from the parks board or the city council. As the job must be completed some time or other, an attempt ghould be made to overcome the difficulties in the way, simply for the sake of the dozen men or so who would thus receive employment, NO FRACTURE FOUND Dr. B. A, Brown {unformed The Times tihs morning that the X-Ray plates that had been taken of the injuries sustained by Alderman Clifford Harman, when he was struck by a car driven by Charles Houck at the corner of Simcoe street and MsLaughlin Boulevard on Wednesday evening, had reveal- ed no fracture.

Alderman Harman, who is confined to the hospital, is resting much easier today, Dr, Brown said, DIVISION COURT SITS Division Court was in session in e Old City Hall this morning.

Woolworth Co., great internation: al 'chain store organization, was given by RB, Bartlett, manager of the local branch of the company, at a well attended meeting of the Kinsmen Club held last night, The Kinsmen made a departure from their usual custom, when, instead of gathering in Welsh's Parlors, they enjoyed tne hospitality of the Oshawa Golf Club House." A fine meal was served by Joe Welsh, cat- erer, T. L, Wilson, vice-president, act- ed as chairman in the unavoidable absence of President Leon Osler, He introduced the speaker as ome of the city's leading business men and as a faithful member of the club, He considered that the policy of calling on members of the club to give addresses was developing much latent talent, The co-operation, which the Woolworth Co. gives to its employ- ees, was emphasized by Mr, Bart- lett, He spoke in glowing terms of the falr treatment which is ac- corded to members of the organiz- ation and the fine spirit of loyalty, which exists from the humblest junior clerk to the chief executive, It was the policy of the company, he sald, to promote from within the ranks and everyone had to start from the bottom and work up, The result was that all employees were encouraged to do their best, as there was always splendid op- portunity of advancement, Plans for assisting in welfare work this winter were discussed by the Kinsmen and more on this will be heard later, The next meeting will be semi- publie, as members of the club are invited to bring their friends, WOMAN COMMITTED FOR TRIAL TODAY Mrs. E. McKenzie Charged With Setting Fire to Home In Police Court this morning Mrs. Elizabeth McéKenzie, 166 El- lott Avenue, was sent on for trial to a court of competent jurisdiction, by His Worship Magistrate Willis, before whom the case was heard on September 20th, The case against Mrs, McKenzie, who was charged with setting fire to her home on the evening of August 1st, was heard by Magis- trate Willis, who reserved his judg- ment until today. The fire which damaged the house to a consider- able extent was discovered by neighbors, who turned in an alarm to the fire department, The fire was well under way when discov. ered and it was only after a hard tight that the fire was subdued. It was brought out at the hear- ing of the Crown's case that Mrs, McKenzie had spent the evening at the home of a friend and had re- turned home shortly before mid- night, but came back later and com- plained of "a spooky feeling' about her house, She seemed very ner- vous her friends said.

(79D) Report Presented to Board of Health Last Night Shows Four Poliomyelitis Cases in Month Outbreak of Serious Disease Has Probably Run Its Course, Dr. T. W. G. Mc- Kay, M.O.H., Opines FEW COMMUNICABLE DISEASES REPORTED School Children Are Being Given Better Care by Their Parents, Report of Nurse Indicates ------------ Great progress is being made in dental care of children's teeth ac- cording to the report of Miss B. Harris, supervising public health nurse, last night. The activities of the city's staff of school nurses are beginning to bear fruit in the ed- ucation of parents and children to the importance of cleanliness and hyglenci living and as a result Miss Harris was able to report that al- most all children, who were exam- ined during September, had clean hands and heads. An almost total absence of skin diseases was also noticeable, thus indicating that bet. ter care is being taken of the pupils by their parents. In regard to the number of cases of communicable diseases in the city it might be said that four cas- es of poliomyelitis were reported in the first two weeks of the month and that none have been reported since. Dr. McKay, said in this re- gard that he thought that the epid- emic had run its course for the year and had died out, The large num- ber of cases of Whooping Cough is attributable to the return of the children of the city to school and the contacts :that this affords, There are always a number of cases during the summer months that go unnoticed because they do not show up. The report of the supervising nurse is as follows: "Communicable diseases report- ed for September are as follows: -- Whooping cough ven 27 Anterior poliomyelitis ..v0.. 4 Chicken pox ... ene 4 MUMPSE:. coves nsrvsesinssnsss: 3 38 "Special mention should be made of the absence of Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever in the schools and throughout the city. No doubt this is due to the intensely educative work being done the year round regarding the immunization and protection of children against Diph- theria and Scarlet Fever, "A slight decrease in attendance at both Canadian and Foreign Clin- fes 1s noticed during September, This, however, is not unusual as a large percentage of pre-school age children who were being given immunization serum have finished these treatments and have become beginners at school, Canadian For'n Total Attendance ... 358 1038 No. of Infants ..... 183 38 , of Pre.-school ..., 164 46 . of New Infants .. 27 8 . of Pre-schools .. 27 2 . examined by Doctor 27 8 . doses Serum given 123 49 "At the special Serum Clinics held during the Summer a large number of children have completed the course of Serum for Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever, while those who started later are finishing these last weeks of September, Ritson Road School, 208 doses Serum given, Mary St. and Simveé North Schools 194 doses Serum given, Tuberculosis cases under sup- ervision at present ......
