It was his first time back to the village since he left in 1896 near. the age of seven years. Born in the Auburn Hotel, which was on the corner of Goderich Street and the Sta- tion Road in 1890, he is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kuntz. His father own- ed the hotel and operated the Kuntz's Brewery that was situated on the flats of the Maitland River between Huron County Road 25, west of the Patterson Bridge and the old road that led to the site of the old bridge About 1896, the Kuntz family moved to Saltford where the father operated the Brewery there. In the process of expanding the brewery at Saltford, he had had 3,000 bricks brought there to build when he died suddenly. Mr. Kuntz retired in 1955 from his job as conductor for' the Canadian Pacific Railway for 38 years. His run was the Guelph to Goderich one and he recalled the cans of cream and crates of eggs that they used to pick up at the Auburn Station. Despite his 94 years, Mr. Kuntz is very bright and alert and reminisced about years ago. He stated that after 'the family left the hotel, they had lived on the bank of the Maitland River across the road from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill zehrs fine markets... of fine foods SCHNEIDERS FULLY COOKED SMOKED PICNIC LB.

AA Outbreak of head lice BY CATHERINE WALSH, M.S., DIRECTOR, PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING Huron County has been ex- periencing an outbreak of head lice amongst children during the summer months. Head lice infection - also known as pediculosis - is ex- clusively a human problem and still quite common. The head louse lives on the scalp and has an existence of approximately one month. The adult female head louse lays eggs (called nits) which are whitish, oval shaped and tiny. These nits cling to the hair shaft, and • unlike dandruff, they keep on clinging and cannot be shaken off; after about a week the nits hatch into new lice. They puncture the skin to obtain food; this causes it- ching and scratching which can cause infection. Head lice are usually transmitted from one person to another by direct contact with the hair. This can hap- pen if you use an infected person's brush or comb. Towels, sheets, blankets, pillows and clothing, especially hats, can all transfer lice from one head to another. Parents should not get in- dignant if their child becomes infected, the Pro- blem has nothing to do with dirt or with standards of hygiene at home. Head lice are more of an irritation or an aggravation than an ac- tual health hazard. Head lice do not carry disease. However, if one person in a family or school has pediculosis, chances are others will be affected too. It is for this reason that children who are infected are sent home from school. When the children return to school in September, each child's head will be examin- ed and parents notified of children who have pediculosis. Because of the way lice multiply and spread, it is im- portant to take immediate action to treat the condition. To rid the head of lice and nits the following should be done: 1. Soak the head iri pure vinegar for ten minutes. This is to soften the shell of the nit. 2. Apply Para Lice (spray) or Kwellada (shampoo) solu- tions which can be bought at the drugstore. Follow the directions on the bottle. Use a fine steel tooth comb, separating each strand of hair and comb very careful- ly to remove all nits. The combing of the hair must be done strand by strand until the entire head is free from nits. It is much easier to comb hair and remove nits when the head is wet. The steel comb may be borrowed from your local health unit office. 3. All clothing should be washed in very hot water; this especially applies to headgear, scarves and bed linen. If washing is not possi- ble, then dry cleaning is an alternative or spraying with Para Lice spray. All parents should check their child's hair each day and should they find a nit or live lice, the above treat- ment should be carried out.
