TorboloTerlegram&Micate This bright-eyed baby is Tommy, not yet four months old. He is stockily built, nicely rounded, in excellent health, with gray-blue eyes, dark brown hair and fair skin. Background information on Tommy is limited, except that he is part Canadian Indian. Tommy is an alert child, extremely responsive. He loves attention, laughing and gurgling at every one who comes near. He is very strong and sturdy, and likes to be in a sitter or his jumper so he can watch whatever is going on. But he is not demanding, obviously quite able to keep himself entertained. This appealing baby will be a delightful son for a family wanting a handsome, healthy boy- and who will not be concerned over limited information on his background. To inquire about adopting Tommy please write to Today's Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182. For general adoption information ask your Children's Aid Society.

Promise yourself some lively vacation moviemaking. Chances are, wherever you travel l--- to Europe, to the Orient, or across Canada — you'll find action, excitement, human color, and a chorus line of nature's grandest achievements. All'too often we transform these fascinating ingredients into movies that result in a cure for insomnia. What to do about it? The not- so-secret formula is people and action. Except for the very young and the very old, who are generally unrattled by the camera, your subjects freeze up, right? ,The moment they realize you're making movies, they stop and stand like statues, gazing at the camera, or worse still, they smile and wave and make faces. The result: lio-hum home movies. The diagnosis: turn poses into people, scenes into stories! With today's easy-to-use super 8 cam- eras, like the Kodak Instamatic M24, all it requires is a little imagination. One approach you can always take is to stage the action. As director-producer, you can call the shots. If you somehow miss the action the first time, order your subjects to do it again! You might even make up a rough "shooting script", letting your subjects in on the planning stages. SUMMER CARNIVAL OF VALUES Likely your assistants (and stars) are the kids, in which case the simplest activity, such as charging into the water or pitch- ing a tent, can turn into a comic masterpiece. Adults find it harder' to ham things up, but giving them something specific to do helps, relieve their self-consciousness. The second approach to lively moviemaking is candid action. Of course, you have to be canny about candids, but the fact that each scene should be less than 15 seconds makes it easier. In fact, with a little bit of luck, you'll be amazed at the opportuni- ties to catch your subject unaware and involved in some kind of action. For example, the kids building a sand castle, or making a campfire. Or your wife walking along the beach with the baby, stepping in and out of the surf. Catch these once-in-a-lifetime moments before your favourite people realize what you're up to. The trick is to be alert and ready so you can see the chance and save the moment on film almost simul- taneously. Shots of these special happenings, mixed in with the gaiety of the staged action, will give you a movie of many moods. From here on in, it's just a matter of time until your reputa- tion is established as the creator of home movies that were trans- formed from ho-hum to gee whiz! f Sy Pr, .P,4-% A. gvans Meclical Officer The county town, Oetlerich, ,achieved 'a long-overdue' improvement in amenity in the .autumn of 1969 when fluoridated. water started to flow through the town's distribution system, 'The water of Lake Hum from where god.orich takes its supply contains negligible quantities of fluorine salts and without the addition of the fluorine ion at the water treatment plant, the teeth of children, prenatal and postnatal, and -eventually of adults, are in much poorer condition than need be, The passing years will reveal the full story of the enlightened attitude of the people and municipal council of Goderich in going for fluoridation. A survey of the dental health of God.erich children was completed recently by a dentist in the town and the survey will be repeated.at regulai intervals for six to eight years. RABIES There was only a slight decline in the incidence of rabies in animals in 1969 in comparison with 1968 and, of course, in 1967 there were only 19 isolations of the disease in this county. 1969 resulted in 89 rabies positive cases in animals compared with 92 in 1968. A breakdown of the 1969 work is as follows: total investigations — 310; specimens taken — 226; specimens not taken — 84; rabies positive — 89, (17 on clinical grounds). The 89 positives may be subdivided further into foxes 34, bovines 28, skunks 12, cats eight, dogs three, horses three, muskrat one. It is evident that rabies in animals is still a very considerable environmental problem in Huron County and it is regrettable that the Federal Department of Agriculture, Health of Animals Branch, has ruled that in future the subdistrict veterinarian , and his assistant will not be providing surveillance of biting animals under quarantine. The veterinarians, of course, will come into the picture if there are any suspicious signs among animals under observation but the general supervision of such cases will now have to be done by public health inspectors who, although trained and skilled in many areas of environmental health, are not veterinarians. These remarks must not be construed as critical in any way of the veterinarians of the Federal Department •providing services in Huron County. We have enjoyed at all times a maximum degree of co-operation from Dr. Thompson and Dr. Clugston. With regard to the anti-rabies vaccination clinics in Huron- County in 1969, the number of dogs and cats protected again shows a sharp increase over the previous year. As has been indicated in earlier reports, these clinics are a co-operative effort of the Health of Animals Branch of the Federal Department of Agriculture and the County Health Unit, In 1966, 2,630 animals were immunized, in 1967, 2,548, in 1968, 3,912 and in 1969, 5,117. The 1969 figure represents about a one-third increase over 1968 and almost a doubling of the 1966 total. POLLUTION There is the biosphere — air, soil and water. Once it is damaged irreparably then the human species cannot continue to -exist. In the reports for 1067 and 1968 I referred to PQIIIthen and its immense potential for danger to life on this planet, and it would he heartening if it was possible to point to substantial efforts to remedy the problem or, at least, reverse the process of biosphere contamination. Yet what IS being done nationally and internationally is in effect merely toying with a crisis situation. Most people when they think of the atmosphere, the lakes, rivers and oceans, arable land and the Earth's mineral and energy resources, tend to imagine ,,that man's capital is near-infinite. But it is not. The biosphere is no more than a thin skin on the planet. Man is pouring into it each year staggering quantities of harmful substances while his numbers, and therefore an increased capacity to pollute, continue to rise at an alarming rate and he continues the spread of his asphalt jungle for enlarging cities and road networks. It would appear from reading the literature on the matter that. there is still time to clean up the environment though there is not much time left and costs involved , will be astronomical. Yet the alternative is so fearfpl to contemplate that cost must not'be allowed to be a deterring factor to immediate and pan-world action. An encouraging feature of the recent past is an increasing concern on the part of ordinary men and women in many countries about pollution and government at all levels eventually must pay attention to and act upon the demands of those governed. Generally speaking, governments think more about the next election than about the next century and perhaps in this instance top level action on a missive scale will be initiated by irresistible pressure from the electorate. Science and scientists have been blamed frequently for many of man's woes (as well as praised for many of his blessings) and in concluding this topic a comment by Barry Commoner, who is an ecologist and also professor of plant physiology and chairman of the department of botany at Washington University, is appropriate. It is taken from his book "Science and Survival". "What can scientists do to restore the integrity of science and to provide the kind of careful guidance to technology that is essential if we are to avoid catastrophic mistakes? No new principles are needed; instead, scientists need to find new ways to protect science itself from the encroachment of political pressures. This is not a new problem, for science and scholarship have often been under assault when their freedom to seek and to discuss the truth becomes a threat to SUMMER existing economic or pplitical power. The internal strength of science and its capability to understand nature have been weakened whenever the principles of scientific discourse were compromised, and restored when these principles were defended, The medieval suppressions of natural science, the perversion of science by Nazi racial theories, Soviet restraints on theories of genetics, and the suppression by United States military secrecy of open discussion of the starfish project, have all been paid for in the most costly coin — knowledge. The lesson of all these experiences is the same. If science is to perform its duty to society, which is to guide, by objective knowledge, human interactions with the rest of nature, its integrity must be defended. Scientists must find ways to remove the restraints of secrecy, to insist on open discussion of the possible consequences of large-scale experiments BEFORE they are undertaken, to resist the hasty and unconditional support of conclusions that conform to the demands of current political or economic policy," SPECIAL WEED GARDEN AIDS IN IDENTIFICATION Weeds are a common problem in gardens and lawns, and trying to control them is often made difficult because many weed varieties are hard to identify. This identification problem may now be rectified for many gardeners if a project started by Dr. J. F. Alex, Department of Botany, University of Guelph, catches on elsewhere. On a plot of land at the University, Dr. Alex has collected 220 common lawn weeds and allowed them to grow to full maturity. Beside the weed plot is a control square of mowed lawn where the weeds can be seen in their immature state, The purpose of the project is to provide a positive means of weed identification for those gardeners and lawn owners who come to survey the plot. Having identified an immature weed in the mowed lawn that may correspond to one in their own gardens, they can then see the same weed grown to full size. Dr. Alex, who has labeled all the mature weeds, says that books for basic identification are satisfactory but many weeds look much alike. The project will allow people to see, touch, and smell the varieties, and not the differences between them. Once a weed is identified, control measures can be used. There are five sections in the demonstration plot: narrow-leaved weeds, annual broad-leaved weeds, biennial broad-leaved weeds, turf weeds; and ornamental weeds used in many rock gardens.

Sky condition, water temperature and water color all determine6shsdi sps a i ti ;11, Red Fisher In muddied ,or brown water fish are less likely to venture from their normal lies, This means an angler must cast almost direct- ly over the fish to get his atten- tion. Casts should be more fre- quent with less distance be- tween them. In clear water fish are more eager and will travel farther seeking food. Therefore, fewer casts are needed, and the fisherman can work a larger territory. Warm water is the result of hot weather, and fish are leth- argic and won't move about any more than necessary. Again, this calls for more fre- quent casts to place the lure near enough to excite the fish. Cool water stimulates fish, causing them to move more. Anglers get by with fewer casts covering more water with each. If the sun comes up hot, fish stop moving at dawn, holding in one lie until evening. How- ever, if dawn arrives with an overcast sky and a hint of light showers, fish will often feed on through the rain. FOLLOW SMOKEY'S RULES CAREFUL to crush all smokes dead out.

All you need in addition to yo camera and film is a close-up lens and a little imagination. Yo photo dealer will be glad to help you find the lens to fit both yo camera and• your moviemaking tastes. In moviemaking, you can create the effect of a "hopped up" wor if your camera will make movies one frame at a time. With yo camera on a firm support, shoot some action as a string of sing frames, one right after another, just as quickly as you can. T hilarious result will be a pace wild enough to make even the Ke stone Cops feel dizzy! When moviemaking, don't get hung up on technical matters. a tripod helps your shooting, use it. But if it gets in the way, u anything that's handy for a camera support — wall, chair, tabl or even a fence. A unipod (an inexpensive one-legged camera su port) lets you move about quickly, provides good camera suppor Even the pistol grip built into Kodak Instamatic movie earner 'helps you get steady footage. What difference does super 8 make in moviemaking? It mea easy, instant cartridge-loading, a wide choice of Kodak Instamat movie cameras and projectors, and a movie format of 50 perce more image area per frame for bigger, brighter movies than ev before!
