Thompson, Publisher and Proprietor THURSilAY, JULY 6th, 1944 — EDITORIAL A. SUMMER, TIME MENACE The common housefly is, one Of the great- est enemies Of publicvhealth. It is well-known that dysentery, infantile diarrhoea, typhoid and tuberculosis, have been carried by flies and it has been, demonstrated that flies may be ,the 'possible spreaders of infantile paralysis. They /need in filth, they feed on filth, .and pass • directly from "the foulest of filth to human carrying bacteria and particles of decompos g matter on their hairy bodies and sticky feet and mouths. , The mpst effective method of combating • the, house fly is to destroy its breeding places. this is best done through community action involving the proper care and disposal of man- ure,, garbage •and other waste materials. A. leaflet outlining the methods to employ may be obtained free of charge from the Publicity' and Extension Division, Dominion Department' of Agriculture, Ottawa. is especially import- • ant to proteet, foodstuffs from contamination. by flies. DOors and windows should be prop- • erly screened ' and flies that invade the home by -spite of this Should he promptly killed. A new insecticide has been discovered i3y the code letters DDT which when spraYed in a live percent solution in kerosene on the in- terior walls of stables, barns and other build- ings remain effective as a fly killer for several weeks. At present this is only available. for military use in protecting the armed forces o0erseas from disease -carrying insects of var- ious kinds. After the war it will be a valuable addition to the civilian's armory of weapons - in the fight against the insects. Recognizing the need of improved fire fighting equipment, and -a fire hall in which to keep, it, members of the local fire brigade are exploring every possibility in this regard, • and are prepared to contribute generously to meet the cost when Suitable plans can be work- ed out. , * * * We Canadians certainly aren't much for flag-waving. Canada celebrated her 7/th birth- day on Saturday and locally,,,with few excep- tions, there wasscarcely a flag to be Seen.' Its grand hay weather, and plenty of, it to harvest if you've got the help to do it. • ,• In an editorial or -the Quebec versus the , rest of Canada feud, Editor Frank Irwin- of Durham says' the big reason for all this is politics. Frank Says in parb "As we see it, there will soon have to be some sort of settle- ment of,, this feud between Quebec and the rest of Canada. If our political leaders are not • big enoughto govern this cbuntry. as a nation, instead of first finding out how Quebec is go- ing to take propose d7 legislation, then there is need of- some new party that will.. We have an• • idea .our soldiers overseas, when they return, will not be satisfied with the same brand of Political chicanery we have had,hin the past. We have an idea that Quebec Will have .to get in _line „with„the_rest_PI_Canada or _suffer the • consequences; People are getting sick and tired, of it. So far as the writer of this article is con- cerned he is ready and willing to support any leader, or any .party, who will • emblazon on his banner, the slogan: "To Hell WitilOnebec” " rand run this county the way it should be run, having' no regard as to what a man's ancestry may have been so long as he is a good, loyal RESUSCITATION This is the season of the year when cooling - lakes and rivers appeal to young and old, Nit not without their tragic toll of life by drown- ing. • Resuscitation methods are something with which everyone should be familiar, althOugh to be ,expert 'in carrying out artificial respirar • tion„ •practise as well as kn'owledge is essential: Information on the prone pressure method of resuscitation 'is •available in booklet forin from the Industrial Accident Prevention As-.. sociation. _This method is effectivein reviving victims of electric shock; gas asphyxiation and, drOWning. SOMe of the' most important general rules' to be followed are: , I , , Lay the patient face down, one arm ex- • tended overhead, the other • arm bent at the elbow allowing the face to rest on the hand or forearm and turned outward so that the nose and mouth are free for breathing: Kneel,. straddling -the Patienillhighs. Place the pains of the hands on the small of the back with 'fingers resting on the ribs; the.little fin- ger just touching the lowest rib, with the thurib and fingers -in a natural positiOn. • With arms held straight, swing .forward • slowly .so that the weight of yOur•bodY is grad - *ally brought to , bear upon the patient. The • • shoulder should be directly' over the heel of ° the hand .at the end of the forward swing. Do 'not bend the elbows. The operation should take about two seconds. Immediately swing backward to completely remove theppressure. • • - - After. ;two ,seconds-swing---forwarcl- again-. --- • - Thus repeat deliberately twelve to fifteen times a muntite,- the double. movement- of •cornpres- sion.andrelease, a complete respiration in four • or five seconds? Continue artificial respiration without In- •• terruption until natural breathing is restored (if necessary, four hours or longer) or until • , a physician declares the patient is dead.' • As soon' as this artificial respiration has • been started and while it is being continued, • an assistant should loosen any tight clothing • about the patient's neek, chest or waist. Keep the patient warm. Do not 'give any liquids whatever by mouth until the patient is• ,conscious. TO avoid strain on the heart when the pat- • ient revives, he should be kept lying down and. not allowed to stand or sit up. If the doctor has not arrived by the time the' patient re- • vived, he should be given some stimulant such as one teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of am- monia in a small glass'of water or a hot drink of coffee or tea, etc. The patient should be kept • warm. • • Resuscitation should be carried on at the nearest possible point to Where the patient re- ceived his injuries. He should, not be moved , from this point until he it, breathing normally of his own volition and then moved only in a , lying position. Should it be necessary, due to ,extreme weather conditions etc., to move the Patient before he ' is breathing normally, rept- , citation should be carried on during the time that he is being moved. - • A brief return of natural respiration is not- a certain indication for stopping the resuseita- tion. Not infrequently the patient,'after a tern-' porary recovery of respiration, stops breathing again. The pitient must be watched, and if natural bathing stops, '• artificial respiration should be resumed at once. In carrying out resuscitation, it may be• necessary, to change the operator.'This change . must- be made without losing' the rhythm of reispiration. By this procedure, no confusion re -sults At the-titne ;of change of operatOr and- _ a regular rhythm is kept lip. , • , * * * a Prime Minister King's statement that there will -be a Dominion election before July lst, • 1945 is a bit vague as to detail as one might • expect. It definitely assures however, that there will be. no extension of the life of the present Parliafnent, and will no doubt add impetus to 67;• Local and General Jim McCoy has been holiday- 1 ing at his home here. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Henry Carter of Clinton spent the week -end with Mr. and Mrs. Sam Durnin.
