HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1962-01-25, Page 5i4 Kuron County Librarian The year 1961 has been a.pro- gressive one for the Huron County Library. More and more schools without our service are seeking information and asking to have our bookmobile call. During the year 10 new • schoolrooms received our ser- vices. .We made per first visit to North Ashfield and Turnber- ry Central Schools and gave ad- ditional service to new class- rooms at Zion . school in Col- borne Township. An increased quantity of books were required at the • RCSS No. 6, Stephen School (Mount Carmel), and also at Bluevale, Varna and Wroxeter Public Libraries. Since requests for service were received in September frdnt many new schools, we have been steadily increasing • our collection of juvenile books. to be put into circulation. Also, the processing of_ a large num- ber of books to cover the in- creased demand from the pub- lic libraries is under way. Our membership now, con- sists of 33 libraries, four 'de - o -posit stations, three high schools Council Re and 260 elezilentary school rooms. To date, we have 300 outlets which is an -increase of 14 over last- year. Our library membership is down one from last year. The Association Library at Londes- boro closed in December. Be- cause of lack of interest from the community, very few mem- bers, and poor housing for the library, the librarian felt it was useless to continue under such conditions. The following figures indicate the total amount of books that have been catalogued and put into circulation and- the total number of books discarded in 1961: Dis Added carded Adult Non - Fiction 220 5 Fiction 1,000 865 Juvenile' 2,444 178 3,664 1,048 The annual meeting was held in Iiox Presbyterian Church in May with Miss Mary Mustard, Inspector Secondary School Lib- raries, as guest speaker.

This may, be done by telephone, letter, or corning to our office, Our wprk- er, Miss Wilkes, talks with them and helps the girl make her .plans for her confinennent and what she thinks site wants 'to plan for the baby. They of - don't know what to do: They do not have to decide uptil af- ter the baby is born. Thee Chil- dren's Aid Society does not hur- ry a girl's decision. We wprk with her and help her make her own plan. We do not insist on our advice being taken. If she knows who is the father of the expected child and wants financial assistance we can con- tact him about the matter. How- ever, he has a right to obtain legal advice before discussing anything with us. If he admits paternity and is willing -to help the girl financially an agree- ment can be made that would be acceptable to both parties. If the man refttses to help and the girl can, prove he is the father, he may be brought to court, and an order made for the girl's expenses and for the' baby's maintenance. If a girl becomes pregnant and does not want help from the Children's Aid Society, we do not approach her about i We sincerely appreciate your interest in Children's Aid work. We are grateful that you realize that the children ofour county are our most precious treasures and we "must do everything pos- sible to see that they have the opportunity to become worthy citizens. You, by your example to them, your concern for their 'welfare, and your interest and support are giving your Chil- dren's Aid Society workers the inspiration and the encourage- ment to,meet problems and heartaches and to overcoiae them.—Clare McGowan, Acting Local Director. HURON CO.,'HEALTH UNIT HURONVIEW REPORT It was 'felt that once our building program had been com: pleted at Huronview that the work of your Board would de- crease to some degree; this, 'however, has not been the case. Although we still have a few minor details to complete in connection with the actual building, we now find that more arid more work is involved in our , regular board meetings. Naturally, with the increase of residents, the operating costs pre increasing and, as a result, more and more accounts must be approved, more people are on our pay rolls, and more resi- dents are coming to the Home weekly. We find that it takes your Board considerable time to process and apprbve all ac- counts and review applications of the various residents. Re- cently t h e Clinton Nursing Homeceased to operate and as a result, several residents have been admitted to the Home from this 'particular nursing home. In connection with our build- ing program as indicated above, there are still a few minor de- tails to complete and final ap- plication to be made to the De- partment of Welfare in connec- tionwith their subsidy of the program. However, it appears that our surplus funds from the building project will amount.„to some $30,000 to $35,000. Our actual building program is within --our budget: If you will recall, in 1959 the county council advanced the County Home Building Program $20,000 and investments from the mon- ies on hand have realized us over $16,000; therefore, this has helped to offset the discount taken at the time our deben- %tures were sold, plus other ex- penses which have- been in curred.—J: Roy Adair, Chair- man.

BRODHAGEN The Brodhagen Band held their annual- meeting recently in the Community Hall with the president, . Clayton, Ahrens, in charge. The vice-president was Earl Rock; secretary, Warren Sholdice, and treasurer, Arthur Diegel. It was decided to have a social evening for all those taking part in the work of the band social held last summer. The election of officers re- sulted as follows: Leader, Clare. French; assistant leader, Gary Sholdice; president, Kenneth .Elligsen; vice-president, John Braecker; secretary, Robert Ahrens; treasurer, Larry Mueg- ge; auditors, Arthur Diegel and Warren Slioldice. Norman Rock accepted look- ing after the open-air dance floor, owned by the band, for 1962. It was decided to have the bandstand at the Commun- ity Park wired for electricity.

The lastcase of polio occurred here in 1957 and the last deaths from this cause were recorded in 1953, when there were two such fa- talities. No ' doubt " remains about the efficacy of Salk -type vaccine, so long as it is ac- cepted and put to use. Since the introduction of the vaccine in Huron in 1955, the Health Unit has administered over 64,- 000 doses, but a recent decline in the demand for its use by adults gives .,cause for alarm.

They '. er other worthy proketp, , First, let os talfe note of some of the .aceorriplis invents- of Huron County through joint ef- forts during the pant year: First, the re -instatement of retroac- tlYe rabies compensation re- cently .enacted by the Ontario Legislature. 'After a decline in 1960, ani.. mal rabies ” rose again in 1 "• 9,01 with an approximate total pf 31, animals found positive on lab- oratory or strong clinical grounds. Twenty-seven humans took the 14 -dose treatment fol- lowing exposure to this disease. Infectious jaundice smoulders here as in the rest of the pro- vince. Some authorities feel that this disease is on the in- crease, but our figures are not sufficiently complete to draw any., firm conclusions. Since • the disease is caused by two types of virus, each with a different mode of infection, the study of outbreaks becomes very com- plicated. Prevention of the first type is possible through high standards of personal hygiene and general community sanita- tion with emphasis on control of food and water supplies. The second variety has been traced to infected human serum and requires fastidious techniques by hospitals, clinics, etc., where contaminated syringes a n d equipment might contribute to its spread. - Public health nursing activi- ties show 10,060 visits last year to 6,731 individuals, represent- ing nearly 3,000 families. In- creasing requests are received for visiting to cancer patients and the older adult, which the staff is pleased to carry out. We do lack a regular beside nurs- ing program, however, but are encouraged by its growth in neighboring areas. • , In the schools there were 3,420 student health inspections, 5,520 vision tests and 2,027 hearing tests. At the five High Schools, 1,122 students were conferenced as compared with 768 the previous year. Pre -natal classes continued. in 1961 with 101 such classes held. Of some 1,600 infants visited, over 700 were seen at home in the first two weeks of life. The sanitary inspectors car- ried out over 3,000 field inspec- tionc, including 430 water sam- ples: "Especially where they bor- der villages and towns, the rural municipalities have been experiencing gradual growth in housing. In a good many cases it has been discovered tha(soil .conditions make extensive use of septic tanks a hazard. The settlement of the problems 'in certain cases has not been easy but we have received valuable advice and support from the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission. Our thanks to Chairman John Morrissey and the Board, who have seen the services of the Unit steadily increasing, with the cost to the county 'ratepayer maintained' at less than one mill per year.—R. M. ALDIS. CHILDREN'S Alb SOCIETY Last time I told you about' some of the children who had come through periods of ,heart- ache and trouble and who have made good because you made it possible for... us to do a good job. This time I want to speak of another part of our work—the section of the Child Welfare Act, referred to as "Unmarried Parents.''r1. ou will notice this includes fathers as well as mothers This is part of our work that is most confidential.

Rev. Harold Brill with his parents in Preston for a few days. Secondly,' we would , like to bring to your attention the new Composite School in Clinton, Which' has received final Gov- ernment approval... -.The Huron District Farmers' Union are very proud • of the prominent role they played in making this school a reality. We are, at •all time, ready and willing to co- operate with any other farm group, or organization for the benefits of "farmers. Those of you ' council members whom,are farmers will not only appreci- ate the hardships encountered in building and maintaining a strong farm organization, but also realize the benefits pos- sible through a united effort. Being ' a direct dues paying membership 1 controlled organ- ization, the Ontario Farmers' Union is the only organization in Ontario in a position to take - a firm stand with regards to the many problems facing agri- culture, and especially with re- spect to Marketing Boards. We have always supported the prin- ciple of producer controlled marketing boards, but firmly believe that. these boards must be national in scope to achieve the proper results. Although we believe that national marketing boards will strengthen the posi- tion ' of farmers, it is realized that they must be tied to '-a, sound agricultural policy. We favor a policy whereby a plan of deficiency payments would be adoptedll agricultural pro- ducts. Because of the shortage of hospital bed accommodation in Huron County, we recently pre- sehted a brief to the Hon. Dr. Dymond at his request in To- ronto, requesting that the On- tario Hospitalization Commis- sion bring nursinghomes, which meet government regulations in our county, under the hospital- ization plan.. We understand that several counties in Ontario through the initiative of their county coun- cils, have secured a specified number of beds in nursing homes to be made available in their counties for patients with means who cannot be classified as indigent patients under the Hospital Plap We solicit your support for the citizens of Hur- on County in .this matter. In 1960 the County Council sent a resolution to the; Inter- national Plowmen's Association recommending that the plowing match be held in Huron County. We• request support of the pres- ent county council to give 'fur- ther support to this matter. The Huron District Farmers'. Union offer their services if needed to assure 'its success. As there has been no action by the Board of Transport' with regards to our past request with regards"to Farm truck,.lic- ensing, may we again ask for, your further support on this matter. The Ontario Farmers' Union, believe that license fees -"for farm trucks are unreasonably high. Farmers do not object to paying a fair share of highway maintenance,but feel the pres- ent system is not equitable. Re- cords indicate that 22 per cent of all trucks (21/2 tons and up) in the Province of Ontario be- long to fanners. They average only 3700 miles per year. They travel empty . two-thirds of the time and are used to capacity only 25 per cent of the time.
