This was the advice of Huron's Medical Officer of Health, Dr, G. P. A. Evans, contacted bY the T-A in his Goderich office, Wed- nesday. He said his office and the Unit office in Exeter have received, quite a number of calls since the London girl's death. Dr. Evans noted that most area children have a high im- munity to the disease and there is no cause for alarm. However, he said that some t, parents fall to take advantage of the Health Unit's pre-school clin- ics, or fail to carry out a program with their family doctor and these are the youngsters who are in danger of contacting the disease When they come in contact with a carrier. In addition, some parents fail to send back the consent forms required by the Health Unit when they conduct immunization clinics at elementary and second- ary schools. Dr. Evans explained that some parents today no longer fear the disease, but he pointed out it hasn't disappeared. "There are only a few cases because the im- munity of most people is at a high level due to immunization pro- grams", he added. He said that most adults also have enough immunity through vaccinations received as young- sters and few require boosters. He said the only people who should consider immediate ac- tion are those. Who may have been in the London swimming pool with the girl, or those who may live in her neighborhood. ft' only hope this tragedy has brought forward the vital, import- ance of maintaining immunity at a high level," Dr. Evans conclud- ed.

Mayor Delbridge questioned whether RAP should have asked council for approval for the re- pairs, but he was told the item was in the budget approved by council for RAP. Later in the meeting, when the reconstruction of the block of Huron between Main and William came up, some members sug- gested tenders be invited from local contractors. Boyle quickly moved that tend- ers be called, noting this was the very thing for which RAP was being criticised. Boyle also informed council that three roofing men had been contacted about the arena job but only Gregus had shown any interest. He said he was of the opinion that Dobson's firm had been asked, but Dobson said he was unaware of it.
