Presence of arsenic poisoning
ill an E.Beter 4.'reek is believed to
have been only a temporary con-
dition but results of new tests
are not available yet, a Duren
county health unit official said
Wednesday,
Dr. R. M. Aldis, unit director,
iedieated- test findings may not
be .available .for another two
weeks,
"We suspect if was only a
temporary
condition, ,perhaps
caused by insecticides in wbic'ti
arsenic is widely used," he said.
Dr. Aldis indicated the areenlc
could have been put in the creek
by someone pouring an insecti-
cide solution down a basement
drain or by the ,operator rat a
large sprayer who may .have
used the creek as a water sup-
ply. This is only conjecture,
ever, he pointed out.
The unit took samples several
weeks ago and they are now
being analyzed.
A sample taken from the creek
this spring, following the death
of a. cattle beast, was found to
contain arsenic, This 'vas .re-
vealed to council in .July by the
owner of the beast, Preston
Dearing, and council requested
immediate investigation by the
Huron unit,
Mr. Dearing, whose farm bor-
ders the westerly limits of the
town, also lost a sheep. .
