FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1951 THE DAILY 'TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE WHITBY NEWS Editorial Comment A Fine Community Spirit The important work being carried on by the Victorian Order of Nurses in the public schools of Whitby might be very easily overlooked by many of our citizens who have g nildren attending these schools were it not for the fact that ep nurse in charge renders to the school trustees at the end of every school term a detailed report. The report for the term which ended June 30th, publish- ed last week in The Times-Gazette, reveals that an increase in the school enrolment, plus a marked increase in the bed- side nursing care which is part of the VON regular pro- gramnte, made it difficult to keep up with school nursing for a time, but the directors of the Order, realizing the im- portance of health work among children, made available re- lief nursing to enable the nurse in charge to spend the required time in schools. Regular inspections of all pupils in the schools were made and steps taken towards remedying defects found. he nurse discovered a large number of children, one third, in fact, of all who were inspected, had defective teeth. Of this number fifty per cent had treatment during the year, but a similar amount had no dental examinations or care. The nurse points out, however, that while the percentage getting treatment was much lower than might be expected, there was an improvement over last year. Dental cards are handed to all children with the exception of those recently examined, with the hope of encouraging regular check ups. he nurse notes that the teachers, interested in the health of their charges, are always alert to the problem and have seized every opportunity to stress dental care, good nutri- jon, and the inevitable effects of excessive use of sweet foods in relation to tooth decay. Vision testing is part of the school health programme and as a result many defects found have been remedied. [Parents of children with defective sight are advised to con- sult an eye specialist. Out of 30 children 19 received cor- rective glasses. It is encouraging to note that parents are almost always very responsive to any suggestion regarding ision defects in their youngsters. The VON is grateful to he Rotary Club which takes an interest in children for aking it possible for four children to attend eye clinics, one 0 receive treatment for a hearing defect, and another to attend the skin clinic of the Hospital for Sick Children. ood eyesight is a very important educational factor. The work in the schools covers many other phases of health preservation. When defects of any kind are discov- ered steps are taken to correct them as far as possible and he nurse made many home visits to consult with, parents regarding their children's health. hb, The toxoid clinics conducted by Dr. F. A. Cuddy, medical officer of health, have been very valuable. It is regrettable hat in the matter of vaccination againgt smallpox that only 202, out of 593 pupils, less than half, have even been vac- inated. The report on the whole is, as the trustees agreed when it was read, complete and satisfactory. Nothing in our opinion is more important in any community than healthy hildren. The VON is therefore making a great contribution along this line in the Town of Whitby and we feel sure that he ratepayers would want this work to continue even if t costs a little more than it does now. We need to have healthy children today to ensure healthy citizens tomorrow. bed of the creek which passes nearby.

Since sewers are not available and will not be available for many years, the homes are supplied with septic tanks and tile beds, from which the effluent finds its way into the ground. Since the soil is light and is underlain with a large gravel strata, the situation is ideal for the construction of septic tanks, but if the water were withdrawn from the gravel layer under these cir- cumstances, the danger of pollu- tion of the water supply would no doubt be great. It is possible that this gravel layer means that a water supply taken from this source would re- quire to be continuously chlorinated and very carefully checked to pre- vent contamination of the supply pumped to the village. - In addition to the danger of pol- lution from this source of supply, the availability of sufficient sup- plies for the Village is very much i1. doubt. The pumping test in the Cedardale Tops ~ Brooklin Juvs 7-5 In Boxla Outscoring Brooklin six to one, in the last half of the game, Osh- awa's Cedardale Merchants came from behind to down the local Juv- eniles, 7-5, in a slapstic: lacrosse match in Brooklin Arena last night. In the first half of the game, Oshawa could 'not score more than one goal on Lightle in the net for Brooklin, who played a very good game. The Merchants being very shorthanded, bringing only nine players, played the first half-game with brooklin's suib-goalie. At half- time the goalies were interchang- ed and the Junior Bruisers found out how good Lightle was as only one of their shots on goal was a counter, : Oshawa's superior strength kept the play in Brooklin's end where the stiff defensive work kept them from getting a clear sho" on goal, The Merchants, playing a very dis- organized game did not check or play back. This left Brooklin a clear path so that when they ob- tained control of the ball they had a clear shot at the twine. Dave Marshall led the scoring for Oshawa with four ¢éounters.

We appreciate that more than one well might be de- veloped, but ,again, t'zs indication of the short 'pumping test was that the water level in the area was be- ing lowered and it is quite probable that all the water in the gravel area could be pumped out, in time of low rainfall, the water would not be replenished sufficiently quick to supply the needs of the village. In any event, a reservoir at least one million gallons capacity would have to be constructed, together with a series of pumps, all of which would cost more than the supply matin from Ajax to the south end of Church Street. Before the gravel area could be considered adequate for the water supply, very extensive tests would have to be carried out to establish the boundaries and thicknesses of the gravel layer and also the amount of water which could safely ke drawn from this gravel layer, under any circumstances in the dry season. of the year, This would en- tail pumping at one or more loca- tions continuously for at least a month during the summer time. The cost of such tests would be fairly high and would probably amount to from $1,500 to $2,000. MOVING DAY Yorkton, Sask.
