Saturday, June 27 the bride and her mother held "open house" for friends and relatives at the bride's new home. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Turner, Bayfield, were hosts to a party following the rehearsal. ....RED CROSS IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOUR HELP By Dr, O. P. A. gyans Medical Officer of Health 1969 " was the most wagging year with regard to he development and broadening f public health services in axon Count since I became edical Officer of Health in ovember 1966, Perusal of the xt and statistics in thiS report ill reveal the areas in which rogress and development have ccurred. Staff changes during he year included the resignation a staff public health nurse of Mary Bell and her placement by Mrs. Janet Clapp he has had V.O.N, as well as ublic health and general nursing xperience. In the public health nspectorate, there has been an ncrease in strength by the ruitment of an additional ublic health inspector, Mr, ohn Kerwin. Mr. Kerwin, who ame to Huron County from the ity of Toronto, Public Health Department, has had many years xperience as a public health pector. Branch Office facilities came inadequate in Clinton in 1969 'due to .the County Board f Education setting up its eadquarters in that town and acilities in Wingham have been nadequate for a prolonged eriod. Discussion and egotiations during the year aye resulted in agreements hereby branch office premises both these towns will be of a uch more adequate and leasant nature. Mention ,Swas made in the nnual report for 1968 of an utbreak of a rarely diagnosed isease, tularemia, in Huron ounty in that year. We nvestigated the outbreak in onsiderable detail, and a paper written by myself on the matter was published in the Canadian ourrial of Public Health in November 1969. A broadening of health unit programme occurred in several aspects in the year under review. Physician Sessions in High Schools started in the autumn. They are not designed as ccasions for routine medical xaminations but for referrals by eachers, public health nurses or elf-referral by students hemselves. In addition, the visiting physicians, who, for the most part, are family doctors, address groups of students such individual grades or parts of grades on various medical and health topics, obvious examples being smoking and health and drug abuse. There is evidence already that these sessions are serving a useful purpose. The Sputum Cytology Service was launched in December 1969, somewhat later than hoped, the delay being due to the shortage of suitably qualified and experienced cytologists. Sputum Cytology is designed for the igarette smoker who will not ve up the habit. In a well controlled programme with adequate follow-up, the technique is a valuable tool in the early diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma (lung cancer). It will point to the presence of lung malignancy or pre-malignancy when the disease is still radiographically occult (i.e. not showing on x-ray plates). To conserve scarce resources of cytologist time, clear priority is given to the heavy Cigarette smoker or any cigarette smoker With chest.symptoms, The Self-Applied Topical Finoride Programme, planned and organized in November and December 1969, came into operation in January 1970 in the primary schools of Huron County. Usually known as "Brush-In", this programme is comparatiVely new in preventive dentistry and for its operation has a team of registered nurse and clerical worker visiting the schools, the registered nurse being responsible to the Medical officer Of health and , public health dentist for its effective performance, In brief, the registered nurse and clerk, with the co-operation of the class teacher, conduct the session with a group of children, usually one grade. Dental Health Education is provided, the students are shown the correct Method of brushing the teeth and finally, under the direction of the nurse, they apply a special fluoride paste to their teeth with a toothbrush supplied for the purpose.i Althouigh a recent development, "brush-in" has been demonstrated , to be an additional weapon of value in the battle against dental caries. It is, however, only part of the concept of a total prOgramme of preventive dentistry for children and expectant mothers. , The Environmental Hygiene Division of the Health Unit shared in the development of programme during 1969. An additional public health inspector joined us in the summer. Mr, John Kerwin came to ,Huron County from City of Toronto Public Health Department and has had many years of experience as an inspector. The public health inspectors undertook additional functions in food control and broadened their base of operations in water supply, participating for example in several' surveys designed for long-term projections as well as the ordinary monitoring of drinking and bathing waters in many parts of the county. The public health inspectorate co-operated extensively during the year with officers of provincial solid waste management. Durifig the year this function, at provincial level,. was transferred from the Department of Health to the Department of Energy and Reso urces Management. Co-operation among municipality councils, public health inspectors and officers of the provincial department mentioned will result in steady inroads being made in the eradication of "dumps" with their attendant disadvantages and dangers. During the year also, the policy of freeing public health and registered nurses and public health inspectors from much time consuming paper work made progress. This has been effected by engaging additional clerical help for branch offices and by the purchase of dictating and transcribing equipment etc. The process will not be completed until the new branch office premises become available in Wingham 'early in 1970, as Medical Secretaries have pot-luck supper On July 8, the Huron County Medical Secretaries enjoyed a pot-luck supper at the home of one of .its members, Mrs. Lee Flowers, Hayfield, Ont. This was an informal evening enjoyed by all who attended. Next meeting to be held on August 5 in Goderich. White tapers and floral arrangements of white shasta daisies and lilies adorned the altar of St. Georges Anglican Church, Goderich, for the marriage Saturday, July 4 of Christina Irena, daughter of Mrs. Joan M. D. Tomkowicz and the late Antoni L, Tornkowicz to Philip Vaughn, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert M. Turner, Bayfield. The Rev. G. G. Russell officiated at the double ring ceremony. The Processional entered to the hymn "Austria" with the bride being escorted to the altar by Arthur W. McMichael, Seaforth. The bride looked lovely wearing a floor-length gown, imported from London, England, made of Tried crepe over taffeta fashioned on an Edwardian design, completed with a lace edged cathedral train, French guipure lace adorned the high neckline and long fitted cuffs. A large bow accented the train at the back of the gown. Her five-tiered bouffant veil with scalloped crocheted edging was held by a bouquet of lily of the valley and tiny rose blooms. She carried a Colonial styled bouquet of white butterfly roses, stephanotis, baby's breath, yellow sweetheart roses and ..,vvhite miniature carnations enhanced "fly leather fern, froth which fell yellow velvet ribbons entwined with stephanotis. Maid of honor was Miss Sandra Ware, Goderich, sister of the bride, Her gown was of Spanish mint polyester whip cream fashioned with empire waist, trimmed with mint pastel velvet and lace, full length puffed sleeves with ruffled cuffs, and trimmed with velvet and lace and a large flat velvet bow, which fell from the waist at the back of her gown. Her headpiece was of pale tinted roses and a matching looped bow. She carried a bouquet similar to that of the bride and consisting of yellow and white shasta daisies, baby's breath and fern, from which fell pastel mint velvet ribbons. Bridesmaids were Mrs. Bruce Baechler of Sarnia, Miss Carolyn Graham, of Goderich, Mrs.. Bryan King of London and Miss Betty Sheardown of Kitchener. They were identically gowned to the maid of honor and also carried , bouquets of ' shasta daisies, baby's breath and fern. Groomsman was Russell Talbot of London, Guests were ushered by Bryan King of London, Arthur McMichael of Seaforth, Clare Sager of Goderich and William Soldan of Grand Bend. Organist 'Was Miss Marian Aldous of Southampton. • Following the ceremony a reception was held in the Hayfield Community Centre. Receiving the guests was the bride's mother wearing a robin egg blue crimplene suit, beige A Ppoci -G4+4Ppy$ ,Qff AlWAYs. slilficult tcP.

This is only natural accord- ing to Red Fisher, the angling expert at Mercury outboards, and it's not necessarily because - he goes fishing more often, al- though that helps, The truth is that: a good guide probably • grew up in the area and uses his knowledge of the lake and his native instincts to tell him where to find fish. • How much is this informa- tion worth to a visiting angler? Plenty,s if he wants to catch fish, There are usually many guides around. The problem is how to choose the right one. The best way to find oat. which guide you want is to visit a fishing dock and listen to the casual conversation of other anglers . . and of dock em- ployees. Buy the tackle clerk a cup of coffee, start talking fishing and you'll soon know which guide you want for the next day.

It should be noted that the statistical report is for 1968 not 1969 .as the accurate figures for any one year are not available from central sources for at least nine months following the end of that year, and with special reference to the Year 1968, the Provincial Vital Statistics Survey Was not received until mid-March of 1970, In 1968 there were 776 live births in Huron County representing a rate per thousand estimated population of 13.7, This compares with 1,206 live births in 1963, a rate of 21.7. The intervening years have been 1964, 1,095 live births. 1965, 952. 1966, 825, 1967, 784. It is obvious that school entry in 1974 will be very much down on that of 1969 unless there is a marked upward swing in the immigration of families into the County in the interval. It is equally obvious that the ease and simplicity of control of conception is having its effects in Huron County as well as in other parts of Ontario, Canada as a whole, U.S.A. and Western Europe. Whether it is a good thing that a sparsely populated country such as Canada should be lowering its birth rate is a matter beyond the scope of. this report. A cause for great satisfaction was the reduction in infant deaths (that is deaths under one year of age). In 1968 there were only 7, a rate of 9.0 per thousand live births. This compares with rates 29.8 in 1963, 19.2 in 1964, 22.1 in 1965, 17.0 in 1966 and 19.1 in 1967. The infant death rate for the Province of Ontario as a whole in 1968was 19.0, In 1968 . there were no maternal deaths in Huron County. The general death rate was 10.8 per thousand estimated population, the actual number of deaths being 613, There has not been much variation in the general death rate in Huron County in recent years but 1968 represents a slight increase over 0,4 that ,for the preid9us.year.. Huron County had 23 deaths due to motor vehicle accidents in 1968. This is a rate of 40.7 per hundred thousand estimated population, and is the second highest death rate from motor vehicle accidents among the thirty County Health Units or Health Districts reporting. As I remarked in my report two years ago, when one observes so many examples of appallingly bad driving on the roads of Huron County, it is small wonder that with the exception of the territorial districts, we have the invidious distinction of having the second highest death rate from this cause. It would appear that many people, particularly those in the teens and twenties, when they pass the driving test, tear up the rule book and throw the pieces out of the car window.
