The Huron.Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board turned down a request
from Seaforth that the board help
to pay the costs of a crossing
guard on No. Highway at St.
James Separate School. The
Board decided it is not prepared,
to pay since crossing guards fall
under the jurisdiction of the
municipality.

Seaforth council as a guard at St.
James on February 14, and
Stanley* Bray as a guard at
Seaforth Public School also on No.
8 Highway at the request of the
principal at the Seaforth Public
School who was concerned for the
safety of his students crossing the
busy highway.,

Protect your children
against disease
through immunization.
This is what Ontario
is doing to help you.
Immunization protects against polio, diphtheria, measles';
rubella (German measles), whooping cough. mumps
and tetanus. Although often considered to be "childhood
diseases," they are anything but minor — measles, for
instance, can lead to encephalitis (brain disease). a
cause of retardation.
Here in Ontario, the Ministry of Health provides the
vaccines and your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP)
pays a fee to the physician for administering them.
Bathe responsibility for immunization for making
sure your children are protected — is still up to you. Have
your children immunized by your family physician. Or, for -
school age children, use school immunization program's
provided by Health Units:
Immunization is quick and convenient—vaccines
againStSeveral diseases are Often combined'. And the only
Way to control these diseases is to immunize as many
people as possible,•
Your Ontario Government 18 doing its share by
providing Vaccines and paying for immunization
through OHIP.
Do your share— make sure your children are immunized.
Consult your family physician, public health nurse or
local medical officer of health.
A free booklet, "Immunization is your responsibility,"
is available with a chart showing what diseases your
Children should be immunized against, and at what ages.
