TODAY'S HEALTH
You can help make sure
your drinking water's safe
•
kitchen or, bathroom taps has been
through a pretty rigorous filtration
and, purification, process. Even se
and keeping in' mind a variation of
the old adage about many. a "slip
'twixt cup and lip" local health
units , are constantly checking the
final product to see that high stan-
dards of water purity are upheld.
Dr. Joseph Burkholder, the Nia-
gara Region's medical officer of
health, , says that sometimes. per-
fectly good water entering the
distribution system can get impuri-
ties in it' somewhere along the pipe,- ,
lines; although that's a pretty rare
oef) occurrence.„ '
But just to make sure,1 hea tit'
units take monthly random sam les
° of cold water straight from the tap.
SaMples are of water that has not
undergone extra softening, or filter-
ing in the home. This :is then placed
in a 3- or 4-oz. bottle, refrigerated
• , and sent to the lab for testing. If the
tests reveal, a coliform-bacteria
count, the medical officer of health's'
team immediately goes into action
to track down the cause -- and put
it right.
All , of this is ••vital preventive
medicine, since contaminated water
can spread such diseases as polio,.
'typhoid, hepatitis and dysentery.
Dr. Burkholder advises those with
private water suppliei to take extra
precautions, Summer cottagers, for
example, should not assume that the
water in that idyllic lake is neces-
sarily pure. When in doubt about
the water, boil it. You can also do
your own purifying by adding two
drops of household' bleach (which
contains chlorine) to each quart of
water, and waiting 20 minutes be-
fore drinking. Perhaps the safest
solution of all, says Dr. Burkholder,
is to take bottled water with you
when you go to the cottage: This
Water, he points out, doesn't have
to bp the increasingly popular .
"spring' water" sold in stores, but
simply water from the .tap at home.
In this connection, Burkholder
says, the trend towardS drinking
bottled- "purified" 'or distilled water
Fitness
For Seniors
You're never toO old to exercise
:and seniors in Region 4, Homes for
the Aged AssOciation are being
given the opportunity to prove it.
A two-day workshop, Sponsored,
by Region 4,. Homes for the Aged
Association,' will be helu in Sirhcoe
Manor, Beeton, August 16: - 17.

"Fitness AlternativeS For Sen-
iors". Attendance will" be open to
agencies involved in geriatric care
on a first come, first served basis
(maximum' registration 100).,

aquabics (water exercises), Yoga,
such games as modified floor
hockey, and modified basketball for
residents in Wheel chairs, Red
Cross Fun and Fitness and T'ai Chi
Ch'uan, 'or Chinese Shadow Box-
ing. For hundreds of years the
Chinese have been." doing this
effortless, . rhythmical exercise

program executed in slow motion.
T'ai Chi ,Ch'uan promotes energy

methods and.. to provide skill
training for the participants so that
they can initiate programs on their •
own. , •
The workshop is offered to staff
&residents who are interested and
feel they would benefit.
may' be self-defeating, because even
though the chemical content of our
public water .supply must° be moni-
tored to ensure that it doesn't con-
tain' dangerous levels of as,bestos,
say, or mercury,, we do need some'
of the so-called trace elements in
the water we drink.
• Unlike the Ancient Mariner who
complained "water, water every-
where — and not a drop to drink,"
Ontario has possibly more drinkable
water than just about anywhere else.
And engineers, health workers ---
and you — can ensure that what we .
, drink is as pure as it shoUld be.
by David Woods
More than half of Ontario's
'boundary abuts onto enormous
amounts of potentially drinkable
water, including four of the five
Great Lakes. •
That quantity constitutes a vast
natural resource. But what of the
quality of this province's water
supply — is the stuff fit 'to drink?
Well, if you're on the public water
system, what •comes out of your
