Report of Medical Health Officer
Wingham, Nov. 15tb, 1013.
Mr. John F. Groves,
Sec's. of Local Board of Health:
The Medical Officer of Health for tee
year 1913 begs leave to report; that the
health of the town as a municipality
is in a very satisfactory condition.
Twice during the year did scarlet
fever make its appearance, two chil-
dren of one family in the first instance
and one, adult in the second instance
all of whom recovered. Strict quar-
antine was enforced in each case and
no further cases developed. During
the month of June, German Measles
appeared among the school children
and 25 cases were quarantined. After
consultation with the School Board,
the Public School was closed for the
two weeks preceeding the summer
holidays ; as a consequence tbe epi•
demic was checked and none of the
senior pupils nor High School pupils
missed attendance at the July exam-
inations. During October three cases
of Typhoid fever were reported, one
in ward five and two in ward one. In
both oases occuring in ward one the
drinking water was examined and con-
taminated. These wells were con-
demned and the families notified.
Two cases of Infantile Paralysis
accrued early in November, both were
quarantined in the usual way, they
are gradually progressing to recovery.
The three slaughter houses in use
by our local butchers are in fiest•eless
condition after considerable altera-
tions which were carried out during
the summer. Samples of milk taken
from the dairies of the town were sub
mitted for examination on four differ-
ent occasions. In no case was any
preservative found present and the
butter fat was never less than 3% and
in some cases up to 4%. It would be a
great satisfaction to know that all the
cows from which milk is supplied to
the town are healthy and free from
tuberculosis. This could be accom-
plished by employing a Veterinary
Surgeon to visit these herds at stated
intervals and in doubtful cases to apply
the tuberculin test,
Early in November the artesian well
water:was turned into the maitre, the
stand pipe being thoroughly cleaned
and painted within and without pre-
paratory to the supply of pure water.
S smples of this water were taken from
taps in different parts of the town and
submitted for examination. The re-
port shows them free from bacterial
infection,
As typhoid fever bas appeared in
ward one as a ward five we hope that
as soon as spring opens again the
water see vices will be rapidly extended
to these parts of the town and the sur•
face ie. 'le closed up.
0 .;ase of pulmonary tuberculosis
oc n • d. during the year. Isolation
w . carried out as far as possible in a
,,,ell house and after death the rooms
vere thoroughly cleaned, disinfected,
re -painted and re -papered to render
them safe for occupa' ion.
No system of vaccination has been
in operation here for some years. We
believe the Municipal Council should
take steps to enforce the regulations
req,riring all cbildren born in the
municipality to be vaccinated within
$ months.
No arrangement bas yet been made
for the medical inspection of school
children, We believe this would be an
excellent move as tbere are so many
ailments and defects of the eyes, ears,
nose, throat and teeth which aro easily
corrected if taken early but if neglect-
ed will seriouelnimpair elle health of
the cbiid.
Many complaints of minor impor
tante have been received during the
year and investigated and usually sue-
cessfutty adjusted by the Sanitary In-
spector.
We are greatly pleased to see that

Leaving Wingbam.
Mr. and Mrs. John Linklater are,
moving to Teeswater where their son
Harvey is conducting a furniture and
undertaking, establishment. Wing-
ham loses a good family and the Pres-
byterian Church active workers. The
village of Teeswator is gaining a good
boasehold, which we regret to lose.
Correction.
In the minutes of Turnberry Council,
in our paper of last week, we stated
that the Nomination of candidates for
the offices of reeeve and councillors
for the year 1914 was to be held in the
Foresters' Hall, Bluevale, on Monday,
Dec. 201b., 1913, at 10 o'clock. This
should have been 1 o'clock p.m.
Fire In Hose Tower.
On Thursday morning of last week
Ore was discovered in the fire hall, and
was extinguished without much diffi-
culty. Troubles never come singly as
this fire developed before the firemen
had their hose returned from Walker
and Clegg, When the firemen found
their own building on fire it was sug-
gested by one of the on -lookers that
they better put a watch on the stand-
pipe. However no blaze has been die.
covered as yet, in the reservoir.
Young Life Ended.
On Friday of last week there died at
the home of her brother in Turnberry,
Miss Mae Isabella Campbell in her
twenty-seventh yea". The funeral.
took place on Monday to the Wing.
ham cemetery and was largely attend-
ed. She leaves to mourn her loss, her
mother and two sisters, Mrs. T. Mun-
dell of Culross, Mrs. Robt. Austin,
Wing/ram, aleo three brothers, Win. of
Turnberry, R ibert of Lower Wingham
and George of Naw Ontario. Rev.
Tait of Bluevale conducted the funeral
service. Deep sympathy is extended
to the bereaved.

port that in some places the pavement
its not wearing well, but the best is
hoped for. The engineer has advised
the Council to pay no more money un-
til Spring, when more will be known
about the pavement, This means that
the council retains between four and
five thousand dollars, and in addition
to this is the bond of two thousand
dollars, and the contractor is also
bound to keep it in repairs for five
years, consequently the town should
not suffer.
Nineteen Thousand Dollar Fire. S
In Wednesday night of last week
at about 0.30 fire was discovered in
the wooden wing of the Walker &
Clegg factory. The wooden structure
with a stock of flniehed goods and raw
material amounting to about $15,000
were ,destroy'ed,J The total lose is
about $19 000 and is partially covered
by insurance. The firemen worked
heroically and saved the main build-
ing. Chief Dinsley directed bis men
well and Wingham Fire Brigade have
again shown themselves equal to the
occasion. This is a most uufortunete
fire for the firm of Walker & Clegg
and also for the town of Wingham as
it ie a high class industry and gives
employment to many met Mr. Walk-
er and Clegg were approached by the
Council g cil and have agreed to build a
new structure, with at least as much
flsor space as the old one, provided
the town will give them a fixed as-
sessement•of $10,000, which is a shade
higher than the old assessment. They
tree not asking one dollar from the
town but just wish -to be assured of a
fele assessment for the next ten years.
'.ibis will no doubt meet with the
hearty approval of our citizens' and
will be voted upon at the January
election. Wingham cannot afford to
lose at y of its industries and a fit m
that has made good should be en-
couraged`to increase still further.
