In replying to some criticism of Rev. J. 8. Woodsâ€" worth, M.P., The Globe and Mail suggests that the CCF. leader has never done anything to help anada,. hut rather has deveoted his whole time to thanks very largely to Dr. Moore. It was the same way with diphtheria. He preached innocuâ€" lation against this disease for years. The record shows how well he did his work. The number of diphtheria cases in Timmins in the history of the town is small, indeed. The average year passed without a single case. It is impossible to take from Dr. Moore the major part of the credit for the health of the town. In this connection it is well to remember some of the difficulties he had to surâ€" mount. The fyles of The Advance show literally scores of meetings of council where Dr. Moore apâ€" peared to urge some health measure. His persisâ€" tence, his grasp of the subject, and above all his earnestness and tact, sooner or later won out in most cases. There is one exceptionâ€"that of a proper isolation hospital for the town. That was something that Dr. Moore urged for years.. It is interesting to note that Dr. McInnis is carrying on the good work in this, as in other particulars. Dr. Moore is not the type that would particularly care for an article like this. He did the work of Medical Health Officer practically without fee, and he did not even ask credit or praise for his work. He would be especially displeased at such a referâ€" ence as this, if it failed to record one other factâ€" that the other medical men, the nurses and others of kindred professions gave him very general supâ€" port and coâ€"operation. It is true that much of his notable value to the town and the town‘s health was due to the fact that he was able to secure the coâ€"operation of all in the good work. It is not luck that Timmins is now "one of the healthiest towns in the Dominion," to use the words of Dr. McInnis. Timmins has purchased its comparative health by the same plan that it has bought its comparative freedom from fire. An effective fire prevention and fire fighting organization, with something apâ€" proaching adequate equipment, has given Timmins its "luck" in the matter of fires. An able organizaâ€" | tion to guard community health, with support from | the medical and allied professions, and with the coâ€"operation of the public has given the town its | "luck" in health. There will be a gencral belief that Timmins‘ chief "luck" in the matter of health lies in its Medâ€" lecal Health Officers.‘ Most people feel that Dr. MclIlnnis will carry on the good work of his predecâ€" cessor, and that he, too, will have the support of all the doctors, nurses and others directly conâ€" corned. In this particular weekâ€"*"Cleanâ€"up Week" l it is especially timely to urge a continuance andé extension of the support of the general public ; ! a § extension of the support of the general public. With this coâ€"operation assured, Timmins will conâ€" tinue to be "one of the healthiest towns in the Doâ€" minion‘"~â€"a proud and pleasant title for any town. fence. Twenty years ago he was battling with the council to secure a pure and adequate water supâ€" ply. When that was arranged, he led in the battle for pasteurization of milk. These were his main attacks to prevent typhoid from securing any footâ€" hold here. He supported these drives with efforts for full disposal plant facilities and extension of the sewerage system. His battle against smallpox was equally effective. He popularized vaccination in the schools, urged this method of prevention upon adults, and persistently pleaded for proper isolation hospital facilities. While there have been w oi ols oi ts tm : ePA lt P PAE PP CA mmm‘. a couple of minor outbreaks of smallpox in town, there has never been a real epidemic of the disease It is a genereus tribute that the present Medical Health Officer for the town, Dr. McInnis, pays to his predecessor, Dr. H. H. Moore, in a report on health conditions in Timmins published elsewhere in this issue. There is double pleasure in reading the good words of Dr. MciInnis. It is in keeping with the fine sportsmanship of Dr. McInnis that he should make occasion to give credit where it is due. The tribute is one that is richly deserved. Dr. McInnis does not exaggerate the matter when he says that this community owes Dr. Moore a sincere debt of gratitude. The record of Timmins in the matter of health is a most pleasing one. It is different from that of most oi the mining towns and the other new communities of the North. Most of them have suffered severely from typhoid epiâ€" demics; some of them have had smallpox epidemâ€" iecs;~ and nearly all of them, at least in their early history, have found that community health has to be safeguarded or there is a serious price to pay. In a new town, and especially in a mining town, health is the last thing considered. Thanks to Dr. Moore this was not the case in the early days of Timmins. To use one of the phrases of the day, he made the people "healthâ€"conscious." He had tof battle all the way, but fortunately he was a bonny fighter when it came to defending the people‘s health.

The retort to that is that perhaps the , ‘C.C.F. leader has said everything just to cater to| | the disgruntled and disaffected.
