There were 212 cases of measles in the month and the total report- ed number of cases of communic- able disease was, 407 which is the highest it has been for several months. Not one adult caught the measles and the main bulk of the cases were among children of school-age. Twenty-six more boys than girls *had the spotty complaint. * Earlier in thé year outbreaks of | { "measles were reported in other two cases of infectious jaundice and . Ontario centres but it took a month three of German measles which, auor two before cases became num-'for many months, headed the list. erous in the city.

This was the assurance made by E. H. Gilbert, chief factory inspect- or for Ontario, to the foundry coun- cil executives who met him March 31 to discuss factory inspection problems. ' Consisting of M. J. Fenwick, chairman; F. 8. Cooke, secretary, and S. W. Burgess and J. White, executive members, the delega- tion met the chief inspector on in- structions of the union's foundry conference which was held in To- PY ronto March 14. The delegation sought a closer link between foundry inspectors and union representatives in the found- ed of irregular and inadequate in- spection of foundries. Mr. Gilbert explained that two inspectors serve 625 foundries in the province. He said the inspectors visit each foundry about every three onthy, The delegation felt the foundry in- spection staff was understaffed, but Mr. Gilbert contended two in- spectors were sufficient. He agreed that in future the foundry inspectors will contact any person designated by the union to acquaint the inspector of any found- ry health and safety problems. He invited foundry locals to write him about any complaints they may have and the foundry inspect- ors will check immediately. Mr. Gilbert also informed the delegation that his department is now drafting new factory regula- tions and employer-union repre- sentatives would be given copies for study and will be asked to attend a meeting with labor de- partment representatives before they are put into effect.

They have an iron curtain. owners in Oshawa. Russia is the only country in the world that con- siders admission of flowers to their land scratched from receiving bills. WORKING OVERTIME Association this- Easter season is working 'overtime from Canadian florists. On a par with Christmas, Easter is the time of year flower shops are rushed with "wire" orders; the flowers to go to "the ends of the earth. the Easter lily is best seller this year. Although the occas tomer wants his lillies cu the base of the stems, the flower generally goe to loved ones with roots firmly secured in a pot. exception. Papier mache pots with asphalt bottoms, although silghtly more expensive than the brick-red To Supply Demand containers, are in keeping with the delicate beauty of the many kinds of flowers now on sale. Thousands of . lilies, imported from Japan, United States, Ber- muda and Holland were rushed to florists as other years. Since the perennial flower has only three weeks of blossom, timing in planting is very important. They must be ready for Easter. TULIPS POPULAR Also one of the season's favorites is the tulip. Eight or more types may be purchased in Oshawa. Mauve, white, pink, red, yellow, pink and white, red and yellow and white and red tulips make an ex- tremely beautiful bouquet, Single and double daffodils come in two colors as well as tulips. white trumpet with yellow back- ground daffodil is one of the more delicately colored flowers to b found this season. Naturally, plain white and plain yellow daffodils hold two of the top sales orders. Perennial plants of all sorts hold the attention of Easter shoppers. The hydrangea, imported from Holland by several flower shops here, come tinted mauve and blue. Dutch growers use iron sulphate to bring out the exciting colors, Flowers will be sent to every According to some flower shop The Florists Telegraph Delivery taking orders Probably because of its fame, onal cus- t off at Pots are again standard, with one from standard white and pink flow- ers. . % Heather, pink and mauve, is im- TANK TRACKS At CBMC_# | | was held at the armories with the | i |army cadets taking part in the parade along with the regulars. with the Canadian Army Decora- ported to Oshawa flower shops from California.

This week we are featuring in our personality column of "Who's Who um flower shop experts say. To get a general idea of the Easter rush for flowers, one shop has over 35 per cent of regular customers come into the shop to wire or buy flowers for relatives and friends during ths season. Although most of the flowers are imported from many countries, one Oshawa store boasts thessale of pussy willow, which grew 'here. The owner said the willow is sure sign of spring", as in the old country, where people bring pussy willow to mass, to be blessed on Palm Sunday. a Be Supported Walter Pavloff of 750 Ritson Road South, haled into magistrate's cottrt yesterday by his wife Elvira Pavloff of 79 Bloor Street West on a charge of non-support, was or- dered by Magistrate R. P. Locke, QC, to pay $30 every two weeks to complainant toward the sup- port of their two small children. The first payment was to be made yesterday, and succeeding pay- ments were to be made through Major George Earle, court proba- tion officer. When defence attorney Z. T. Sal- mers asked that an interpreter be brought into court, the bench cout- ed the idea. "I've had enough experience with these cases to know what they're trying to say," declared Magistrate Locke. By careful ques- tioning, His Worship elicited the \facts that Pavloff was working at a local factory, making $60 a week, and that the couple had been sep- arated a year. Mrs. Pavloff was out working, too. while her mother looked after the children. Then she cared for them while her mother went to work, said complainant. The magistrate allowed Pavloff to visit his children every second Sunday for a couple of bours, be- ginning Easter Sunday. to hold a crokinole party in the Sunday School rooms on April 6 at 8 p.m. An amusing contest was held which required each contest- ant to draw the picture of an Easter bonnet. The winner was Mrs. Frank Kirby. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Gordon Lane on Thursday, April 23.

The speaker will be Waldo Yeager, chairman of the Christian Business Men's Committee Inter- national and chairman of the CBMC of Toledo, Ohio. President of the Cortland Prod- uce Company of Toledo, Ohio, Mr. Yeager like many other success- ful business men had a small, in- conspicuous beginning, having ped- dled eggs from house to house in the evening on foot before becom- ing the proud possessor of a Motel T Ford. Through faithful applica- tion to his task he soon became a partner in what is now a most successful firm. Waldo's life and manner of liv- ing were changed as a result of attending Evangelistic services, followed by Bible reading jointly with his wife, and further encour- aged by a Christian business man to fully yield his life to the Lord. This resulted in Mr. Yeager drop- ping habits and hindrances in his personal life, coupled with a de- termination to run his business in a way which he believed would be pleasing to the Lord.

Mot- orists going north on the street and crossing Albert Street bridge over the CPR have complained that it is impossible to see what is coming up on their left side from Fisher Street. Bus drivers asked city council to do something to end the unneces- sary driving hazard. Their request was turned over to the traffic ad- visory council which considered it last night. It was decided to leave the stop sign which is on the bridge at present and install another stop sign, halting north bound traffic, at the point where Fisher merges with Albert.

Welfare Oshawa Woman Given Use Of Crippled Legs Florists Rushed Dep't Is Responsible Mrs. Winifred Mudie, of 22 Lloyd Street, spent yester=- '| day afternoon in downtown Oshawa doing her Easter shop- ;| ping. Hundreds of other women were also shopping and Mrs. i| Mudie, who is 43 years old, has spent her entire life in the | city and visited the shops nearly every day. But yesterday's '| shopping excursion was differe | town for the first time in her life with a pair of legs of the '| same size and on which she could stand and walk. nt. For Mrs. Mudie was down- Up to seven months ago, Mrs. ® Mudie was a helpless cripple who | seemed destined to drag, for the rest of her days, a huge surgical! boot on the foot of her tiny, with- ered and useless right leg. Those seven months have seen an amazing transformation. They have been months of agony and suspense for Mrs. Mudie and a time of brilliant surgical work on the part of doctors. WELFARE OFFICE PROJECT Behind the scenes, the case of Mrs. Mudie was one of which every Oshawa taxpayer could be proud. They were paying for the medical change which has turned her from an invalid living on re- lief into a self-supporting energetic woman. All the charges were met through the local walfare office, which is headed by Miss Marion Bannon, It was straight to Miss Banncn's of- fice that"Mrs. Mudie wheeled her- self yesterday. "Never will I be able to repay this city of my birth. I have only just found out who paid my bills. God *bless everybody," said Mrs. Mudie. She is only just discovering the sensation of having the use of all her limbs. With all the pride of a showgirl she sat in her wheelchair, surrounded by her Easter parcels, and waved her right leg at knee- height. MOVES FOR FIRST TIME "Look, it moves for the first time. I can walk and need no longer wear 12 stockings on the one leg to hide the tiny bone that was all there was there before," she cried. a Thirteen months after she was born in Oshawa Mrs. Mudie, the former Winnie Wallis, was strick- en with polio. Her right leg was paralyzed and left useless. In those days the science of bone grafting was in its infancy and nothing could be done about the leg. When she saw a doctor | last fall Mrs. Mudie was told that there was a chance that bones in her leg could be altered so that the left leg, which had grown nor- mally could be the same length as the non - operative right one. REMOVED PART OF BONE In Toronto General Hospital some of Canada's finest surgeons {took out 2% inches of bone from Mrs, Mudie's lefts thigh and after splintering the ends, rejoined the cut with steel pins. The shredded pieces of extracted bone were moulded around the pins, On her back for more than two months, Mrs. Mudie had both legs strapped up and pointing vertically to the ceiling. Mrs. Mudie prefers to draw a veil over the seven months. Her brother, Arthur Wallis, and his wife, she praises as "a tower of strength". They visited her and |took her back and forth to Toron- {to when she was well enough to travel. A, loca] doctor paid her calls at all hours of the day and night when she was in extreme pain.
