A lack of jobs and full
community colleges and uni-
versities could be .reasons
why secondary schools are
experiencing enrolment in-
creases the Perth County
Board of Education was told
at its Sept. 22 meeting.
Superintendent of in-
struction John Richardson
told the board that as of the
day of the meeting. enrol-
ment at the secondary schools
is up 198 students over what
was projected.
It's not only Perth County
that is experiencing the in-
crease in secondary enrol-
ment Mr. Richardson noted.
It is happening across the
province.
' "Do you anticipate any sort
of reorganization?" asked
Trustee Barriara Herman.
Director of education Ken
Self explained Mr. Richard-
son is preparing a report for
the Oct. 5 board meeting. Mr.
Self commented that it is
good news the number of
students in the school is
greater than anticipated.
Of the five secondary
schools in the county, Mr.
Richardson said only two
have had a decrease in
enrolment. Those schools are
St. Marys District Collegiate
Institute and Mitchell Dis-
trict High School. St. Marys
is down five students and
Mitchell is down 10 from
what was projected.
Actual enrolment statistics
for secondary schools is taken
from Sept. 30 as there are
students wha don't show up
until later in the month. As an
example, opening day enrol-
ment at the secondary schools
showed attendance up by

Health Unit reviews
student records
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
The Perth District Health
Unit will be reviewing its
student immunization re-
cords to bring them up to
date.
Medical Officer of Health
Dr. Susan Tamblyn told the
health unit board at its Sept.
22 meeting the review is part
of the implementation or the
Immunization of School Pu-
pils Act. The act calls for
immunization of all school
students against diptheria,
tetanus. polio, measles,
mumps and rubella. She
added exemptions are allow-
ed on medical or religious
grounds.
"The process will start
with a review of our immu-
nization records followed by
a letter to the parents of
those who are not up to date.

Dr. Tamblyn said the new
act would n of cost the health
unit more money except for
additional vaccine.
There will be media in-

Unpasteurized milk
isn't safe: experts
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Illntss caused from consuming unpas-
teurized milk is on the increase.
Both the Medical Officer of Health in
Perth County, Dr. Susan Tamblyn and in
Huron County. Dr. Harry Ceislar report
illness from consumption of raw milk is up.
"It's a definite problem in Huron." said
Dr: Ceislar.
One cause, said Dr. Ceislar. is the move
towards a natural type of food. He explained
some farmers keep raw milk for personal
use and also give it to their friends or
neighbours. He added it is hard to put a
number on those becoming ill from drinking
unpasteurized milk,
."There have' been a lot more cases
attributed to raw milk consumption in the
last few years.'' said Dr. Tamblyn
Three common illnesses caused in part by
unpasteurized milk are 'Salmonella infec-
tion, campylobacter. and Yersinia. So far
this year in Perth County. there have been
64 reported cases of salmonella infection. 29
reported cases of campylobacter and nine of
Yersinia. By comparison, for the entire year
of 1981, there were 20 cases of salmonella
infection. nine campylobacter and two
versinia.
Drinking raw or unpasteurized milk can
result in serious and sometimes fatal
diseases, said Dr. Alvin Evans of the
Ontario Ministry of Health's Public Health
Branch.
Milk is an ideal source of nutrition for
humans, said Dr. Evans, but unfortunately,
bacteria also thrive on it. In fact. milk is
used in laboratories as a culture medium for
bacterial growth.
KILLS BACTERIA
Pasteurization kills off bacteria that can
cause human disease and Ontario's Public
Health Act stipulates that all cows' and
goats' milk sold for human consumption
must he pasteurized, Actually. it is illegal to
sell or distribute raw milk and the penalty
for doing so is a fine•anywhcrc from $25 10
5500.
Salmonella is a type of food poisoning
which causes diarrhea, stomach cramps and
fever and can even be fatal. Campylobacter
is similar to salmonella but lasts longer and
can he more painful.
Unpasteurized milk may also harbor
staphylococcus bacteria which causes vio-
lent food poisoning or streptococcus bacter-
ia which can result in strep throat,
rheumatic fever or diseases of the heart and
kidneys.
DI Evans said' despite strict sanitary
conditions, there are periodic salmonella,
and other infections caused by raw milk.
Pastcuiization ends the dangers to milk
drinkers from these milk•borne diseases.
Dr. Evans stressed. -
HEAT IT
Milk is pasteurized by heating it
according to a time and temperature
formula, One example is heating the milk at
-2 degrees Celsius for 16 seconds.
Some people think raw milk tastes better.
is easier to digest or is more nutritious than,
pasteurized milk. Dr. Evans said they are
wrung on all counts and are risking their
health by drinking unpasteurized milk.
Pasteurization does affect some nutrients
in a very small way noted Dr. Evans. But
they are not the important nutrients that
make milk a popular food source.
Products made from unpasteurized milk
tan also be a problem. Some cases of
salmonella infection in Ontario have been
traced to infected butter and'softor fresh
cheese made from raw milk. The only raw
milk ,products legally sold in Ontario are
commercially produced hard cheeses that
have been aged for 60 days or more. Proper
aging kills harmful bacteria.
"We're suggesting it is not a good idea to
drink raw milk or give it to neighbours and
friends." concluded Dr. Tamblyn.
