The last case of para- lytic polio was recorded in Hur- on in 1957. Huron and Goderich are go- ing to miss Dr. Aldis, because he is an alert and humane in- dividual. His latest work has been the introduction of a study of the elderly and their physical and emotional problems and the es- tablishment of liason with the welfare department. In late April, Stephen Lewis of the New Democratic Party led a sweeping criticism in the legislature of the department of health. But he had nothing but praise for Dr. Aldis: ..most of the medical of- ficers of health admit they do not even know where the aged are located... Mrs. J. Cornelius Dies at 104 Yrs. Word was received here on Monday of the death of Mrs. James Cornelius, 104, who has been a resident of Huronview, Clinton for many years. Deceased was the former Theresa Steele, born in Col- borne Township where she liv- ed the most of her life. The Cornelius family lived for some time on the river road near Whitechurch, in East Wa- wanosh. She was predeceased by her husband, a daughter, Mrs. Mary Redmond of St. Au- gustine, and a son, Amos, of Whitechurch. Mrs. Cornelius is survived by three grandchildren, Wil- liam Kelly of Seaforth, Joseph Kelly of Welland and Mrs. Mary Redmond of Auburn. The body rested at the Stiles funeral home in Clinton. In- terment was in Wingham Ceme- tery. Special Service At Knox United BELGRAVE—A dedication to missions service was held along with the regular service at Knox United Church on Sunday morn- ing. The donations were re- ceived by Lewis Stonehouse, treasurer of the church. Donations were presented by Doreen Anderson for the Junior Messengers, Barbara Cook for the Explorers, Audrey Coultes for the C.G.I.T. and Bob Tay- lor for the Ill-C Group. "Now there are two excep- tions which I want to put to the House, One is in Huron County, where Dr. Aldis is conducting an experiment instructive for all the province. He has gone to the tax rolls and has taken every tenth name on those rolls of people born before the year 1900. He is systematically con- ducting an interview in depth in order to evaluate the needs of the aged and their problems, and that should be encouraged, I suggest, right across the pro- vince." Later, in the same address, Mr. Lewis again referred to Dr. Aldis: "The only unit that has de- veloped a direct exchange pro- gram with welfare in the province is again Huron County. This Dr. Bob Aldis is an excellent fellow and I hope the public health sys- tem never loseshim. Hehad an excellent and obvious idea, which he pursued, which is not pursued anywhere else in the province." -- Goderich Signal- Star.

Dr. Robert M. Aldis, for 16 years Huron County's Medical Officer of Health, held that of- fice during a period of great transition in public health in Ontario. He has resigned to become director, of a new health unit in Perth County. Dr. Aldis, whose greatest FIREMEN CONTROLLED the blaze early Friday morning before any amount of damage was done to the A. C. Adams' coal shed. The roof of the CNR freight shed top- pled onto the coal shed roof.—A-T Photo. Goderich Signal -Star Dr. R. Aldis' Tenure Time of Transition interest has been prevention of disease and the comforting of the sick, made Huron's health unit one of the leaders in On- tario health care. This was not an easy task in a rural area. In the early days, Dr. Aldis and his staff had to visit each of the one-room schools in the county, often arduous journeys in winter. Today schools have been centralized. Great changes have also been made in the handling of agricultural food products as they pertain to health. The services of the health unit which were once consider- ed a nuisance, when brought in- to force by men like Dr. Aldis, are now sought as an endorse- ment to be placed before the public. When Dr. Aldis came to Huron the hearing of school children was tested by someone whispering in the school hall. Today hearing is accurately measured by audiometer, and defects, that can lead to poor performance in school, are re- cognized and cured. There have been many other changes, but to Dr. Aldis the introduction of Salk polio vac- cine was the greatest triumph. He moved so quickly when it was brought out in the spring of Wingham.
