'proposed addition) Cheques For Sick To Be Delivered While there is a steady high level of routine immunization against disease among school and pre-school children, seven or eight per cent have inade- quate protection, Dr. C. C. Stewart, Oshawa Medical Offi- cer. of Health announced today. Dr. Stewart said, "Every child should receive immuniza- tion against diptheria, Pertus- sis (whooping c 0 u gh), tetanus (lockjaw), poliomyelitis, and smallpox either from the pri- vate physician or through the immunization clinics of the Oshawa Health Department."

Routine primary immuniza- tion is usually- begun at three to four months of age, said Dr. Stewart. He said once this initial se- ries of simple procedures is completed, protection is main- tained by periodic single, rein- forcing or booster shots. "It is very important the first reinforcing dose be received six months to one year after the final dose of the initial series. Further reinforc- ing doses are recommended at three years of age, at five and then at five-year intervals throughout life," he empha- sized. PROOF REQUIRED Smallpox vaccination deserves special comment, he said, since while re-vaccination at five- year intervals is the usual recommendation, evidence of successful vaccination or re- vaccination within three years is required when a traveller is returning to Canada from abroad. "Unlike previously mentioned immunization agents, measles vaccine is usually not admin- istered prior to nine months of age and is obtainable only on the advice of and through the family physician or paediatri- cian," said the MOH. He urged parents to ensure Health Office To 'Move Shop' Oshawa's health department will be packed Tuesday and moved Wednesday to its new home -- 179 Simcoe st. s. Dr. C. C. Stewart, medical officer of health, said today his department will be operating from the former mental health unit building on Thursday. A space shortage at city -hall resulted in. the health depart- ment's temporary move to Simcoe south. Council voted to spend $3,000 to renovate the board of education-owned build- ing, which the board offered at a nominal $1 per year rent. "Everything seems to be in pretty good shape,' said Dr Stewart. Moving is expected to take all day Wednesday but the MOH said "'emergency" service will be maintained by his depart- ment. The health department is moving with the understanding that when suitable city hall ac- commodation is available (the or unless other quarters are found, the department will automatically return to city hall. 'Strike Ended By Millwrights HAMILTON, Ont. (CP)--Un- ion millwrights returned to work in Hamilton Saturday morning following settlement of a four-day-old strike also af- fecting other areas in Ontario. A local union an said that} $2.35 FOR CITY RED CROSS Three little girls wanted 'to do something". And they did. A one-day front yard sale of fudge, freshie, books, flowers, doll clothes and puzzles, netted the girls $2.35. They donated the money to the Red Cross. The girls, Leslie Corneal, 11 of 409 Fairlawn st., and sisters Judy, 13 and Janice, 10, Rahme, 370 Annapolis ave., made the fudge, freshie and doll clothes and sold their own books and puzzles. Prices ranged from five to 25 cents. "It was for a good cause ... they did much better than I thought they would," said Mrs. Earl Rahme. "And, it did give them something to do." "The.girls are to be congratulated and I hope adults will follow their example and help the Red Cross by. donating blood at the Aug. 5 clinic at St. Gregory's Audi- torium," said clinic chairman Robert Stroud. : Janice, Judy and Leslie said they had "fun" with their first venture into the business world and plan to hold more sales during the summer.

MORE TELEGRAMS Meanwhile, city residents are turning to other forms of com- munication. ' The number of telegrams being sent out of the city has , increased, say Canadian Na tional and Canadian Pacifie Railway telegraph office spokes- men. The CNR spokesman seid there has been "an awfully big increase. . . the number has roughly tripled," and the CPR spokesman said there has been "just a slight increase--so far." J. W. Lowry, Bell Telephone manager, said there has 'been "no appreciable increase" in the number of long distance telephone calls. He said if the postal strike continues, the num+ ber of long distance calls "will probably increase." A Gray Coach spokesman said there hasbeen a "big increase' in the number of parcels being shipped by bus. Only 4 not first. calss. mail, can be carried by buses.

He said that striking letter carriers will ignore a meeting of Judge J. C. Anderson with the Canadian Postal Workers Brotherhood held today in Ot- tawa if it results in a return to work order, The judge is the government appointed mediator in the postal strike which began in Montreal July 22. Mr. Williams also said that the local postal employees would ignore a plea from Judge Ander- son that they return to work while he studies the situation. "Promi promises, nothing final ratification of the settle. ment would be sought at a meeting of millwrights here Wednesday night. The settlement followed a contractor's meeting in Toronto called by the Association of Millwright-and Rigging Contrac. tors of Ontario. The spokesman said the mill- wrights, members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (CLC), were given a "substantial'" raise in a new four-year agreement. He declined to elaborate. The union was seeking a rate increase of 50° cents-an-hour over a two-year period plus six per cent vacation pay. The present rate for mill- wriehts in Hamilton is $3.55 an f'out 200 millwrights were inv: ved in Hamilton.

'The government will have to make us a firm offer, maybe a couple of hundred dollars, before we think about ending the strike. "Tf the government made a decent offer, showed some willingness to bargain, then the situation might change." He also stated that the mem- bership awaits the decision of the letter carrier national execu- tive after today's meeting. The CPWB embodies the FALC, the Canadian Postal Employees Association and the Canadiari Railway Mail Clerks Associa- tion. : Mr. Williams said that he doubted whether the men would return to work if the national executive advised such a step.
