The treatment was given to ,public school pupils of Grades 1 and 2 only and was carried, out by Bruce County Health Unit, in co-opera- tion with the Ontario Department of Health: Clinics were held at four centres Lucknow, Ripley, Kincar- dine arid GlaMis. The new vaccine was known as the Salk polio vaccine and when it could, be produced 'in sufficient quantities the treatment was to be made available to all children. Lloyd Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Stewart of Lucknow, was promoted to the position of supervisor of Loblaws groceterias. At the age Of 30 Lloyd was the youngest Ontario supervisor in the organization. He had eight stores, five in Hamilton and 'three in Brantford under his supervision. 40 YEARS AGO APRIL 1935 The cent-a-mile week end excur- sion fare by Canadian National Railway was popular and will patronized by local residents. Sid Smith was presented with a silver medal by Ashfield "Council "in, recognition of his presence of mind and timely aid and assistance in effecting the rescue of Miss Dorothy McQuillin and her com- panion in distress while bathing in Lake Huron on July 1st, 1934, on which occasion her sister Ruth lost her life." The local Church League Hockey season was brought to a close when simile three hundred were in attendance at an enjoyable social gathering arranged by the manag- ers and members of the losing teams. Ralph Nixon of Belfast observed his 95th birthday on April .5th. 60 YEARS AGO Owing to the recent opening of rural mail routes, the- following post offices closed on March 31st Clover Valley, Lothian, Dunlop, Amberley' and Carlow. Mr. Dowse sold out his interest in the Bell and Dowse Hardware business and W. S. McLeod became the new partner of Mr. Bell. Mr. McLeod had 'previous experience in the hardware busi- ness having been several years in, a large store in Buffalo, New York and later in Los Angeles, Californ- ia. Agricultural Tidbits: With Adrian Vos We all heard .a lot lately -about the preservation of agricultural land, land use planning and the restrictions that can be placed upon the livestock 'farmer by the, encroachment of urbanites in rural areas. It seems that many farmers themselves don't see the danger of this encroachment. Often they are the ones. Who want non-farm residences built on their land in order to get a fair sum of money which will benefit' them in the short run so they can pay off a good part of their mortgage or pay for that expansion they have in mind. 'In other cases* is the retiring farmer who wants to stay close to the place where he has lived mos Of his life and wants to sever a pi ce of land to build his retirement home. e INVITATIONS O ANNOUNCEMENTS ip ACCESSORIES Both cases are shortsighted. The farmer who wants the money for expansion is really painting himself into a corner. It's possible that the persons who build in the first place won't object to the odours from his livestock, but 'who can promise what the next owner will do? It is quite possible that the farmer, will be forced out of the livestock business. This has been; proven last month in the Niagara area where a chicken farmer will have to spend $27,000 for elaborate pollu- tion control equipment or lose his business by court order. ' When a person buys a piece of land he has, by law the right to enjoy that land, and if odours prevent him from this enjoyment he can force the livestock man out of business. If the retiring farmer severs a corner of his land it is unlikely that he will sue his son for country smells, but if and when he dies or moves to the old peoples home, the house will be sold and he did his son or the chap he sold the farm to a real disservice because of the severance. If he wants to retire without TODAY'S HEALTH by David Woods Sight is perhaps the, most pre- cious and valuable of all the senses, and for centuries man has turned. his .inventiveness to improving and. extending the capacity of the naked eye. 'Untold thOusands of important discoveries first came to light through a telescope or microscope, from the identification of germs to the sPace program. But for millions of people the ability to see everyday things, and not just the exotic, is' owed to a variety .of "visual aids" that have ranged from Monocles, quizzing- glasses, pince-nez and lorgnettes to tinted contact lenses and plastic pilot glasses. Not that' fashion is the only changing element in the instruments people use to see better: technology has now set its sights on constantly updating the means to Amprove vision, as well as focusing on safety and comfort factors. For example, in the past five or 10 years, plastic. has been, used in- creasingly in the manufacture of eye-glasses, • making them much lighter to wear — and shatterproof,' too. Optically, says Dr. John' Speak- man, head of the department of ophthalmology at Toronto's Sunny- brook Hospital, plastic glasses are just "as effective as conventional ones: also, they may last longer even though they need more care- ful handling because the lenses can easily be scratched. Another quite recent develop.- mein is the use of toughened glass in spectacles — much the same kind as is used in car windshields. Such glasses are becorning increasingly popular because they're less dan- gerous when broken, tending to crkimble or powder rather than shattering into splinters. There are also glasses that have having• to buy an expensive lot in the village, he can make an arrangement with the person who buys the farm, be it his son or a stranger to build a house without 'severing. This way the house will be part of the farm and it precludes future troubles. 'a filter effect, turning grey in strong light and, their manufacturers claim, eliminating the need for the wearer to carry a pair of sun- glasses as well. Much recent' pro- gress has been 'made in the devel- opment'of specially ground magni- fying devices that fit onto existing glasses, enabling older people whose eyesight has degenerated consider- ably to read again. But perhaps the greatest advances have been made with contact lenses. These alternativ glasses have been improve eme ously since they first ca e on 'the scene in the 1920s. The latest ones are made neither of glass' nor, of plastic, but of a sort of pliable gel. Thus, apart from their cosmetic advantages over glasses, they are far safer for use by sportsmen. Some of 'the newer contact lenses Can even Change e),e color for those who don't like the color they were born with. And there are also small lenses that fit snugly onto the cornea without ha‘- ing to be inserted into the v,hole . eye. A lot of people have switched to contact I9nses because the lenses are virtually undetectable, and cer- tainly less cumbersome to wear. On the other hand, says Dr. Speakman. many contact lenses spend more time in the bathroom cabinet than in actual use because the owners find that fitting them onto the 'cor- nea and the constant looking after they require proves a chore. And, adds Dr. Speakritan, if glass contact lenses aren't worn regularly the. can irritate the eyes, while, plastic or gel may not cause irritation.
