(Continued from Page One) Health for the County of Huron. During an inspection of the Clinton Public School on April 11, 1951, several points of int- erest were noted which ere out- lined as follows: Lighting: Lighting in the school proper is excellent. Heating: Heating appears to be adequate. The location of the boiler directly beneath a wooden staircase presents a potential fire hazard. Ventilation: Windows may be opened to provide a circulation of air but if deflectors were provid- ed this could be accomplished without causing drafts. Sanitary Conveniences: The number of water closets and urin- als appears to be sufficient for the school population. Floors of both wash -rooms ware wet and the walls in need of re -decorat- ing. Washing Facilities: Washing fa- cilities are inadequate. A mini- mum of four hand basins per 100 boys plus one hand basins for each additional 100 boys and four hand basics for each 100 girls plus one hand basin for each additional 100 girls is re- commended. Paper towels and liquid soap should else be pro- vided. Drinking Facilities: The num- ber of drinking fountains is ade- quate. However, bubbler -type fountains do not meet with the approval of public health agen- cies. These should be of the side - jet type so that it is net possible far a person to touch, their lips to the orifice. Basement Play Rooms: Brick pillars with sharp corners are dangerous. • General Conditions: Generally, the school is maintained in fairly good condition. It was noted that the floors are oiled. In time the wood becomes impregnated with ail and this presents not only a fire hazard but is difficult to clean. Wood floors should be treated with a sealer and then swept with a dust -retaining com- pound such as "Dustbane." Overcrowding: A minimum of 16 square feet of floor space per pupil is recommended. In the rooms occupied by the classes of Miss Jervis, Miss Moore and Miss Johnston, definite overcrowding exists. The other rooms are ade- quate but no more. Were it not for classes being held in the Ontario Street Church end the Presbyterian Church, it would be impossible to accommodate all the students in the main building. Kindergarten—Ontario St. Church Class is held in the base- ment which is four feet be- low finished grade. This in itself does not provide a healthful at- mosphere. 'Men's doubles—MutrraY Draper end Bob Allan (C) lost to Glen Machan and Tem Brady (RCAF) 18-14, 11-15, 1-15; Percy Brown and Wes Haddy (C) lost to Jim Hanel and B.

Due to insufficent air -change, the room tends to become stuffy. Lighting: A minimum of 20 foot candles light intensity is re- quired for desks and boards. Light meter tests reveal that only 3-5 foot candles light intensity is available on the desks. This is entirely inadequate and is not conducive to the maintaining of good eyesight. Play Area: No play area is available unless children cross the highway to the main school yard. Heating: Heat is provided by means of two furnaces located in the room.
