Immunization Week
Campaign Reduces
Disease Deaths
Thirteen years ago, in Canada in one
year there were 2,804 cases of diphtheria
with 287' deaths; 6 cases of smallpox with
deaths"; 19,082 cases of whooping cough
with 416 deaths.
That same year saw the birth of what
has become an, annual reminder to all
•Canadian parents to immunize their child-
ren against these diseases. The success of
Canada's National Immunization Week,
sponsored by the Health League of Cana-
da in co-operation. with Departments of
Health throughout the country lies in the
figures for 1954-208 cases of diphtheria,
wtth 18 deaths; no cases of smallpox and
no. deaths; 11,600 cases of whoopng
cough wth 157 deaths.
We have found the means of combat-
ing these diseases„ but they are not yet
completely beaten. The immunization pro-
gram must continue.
Smallpox in Canada today is nearly
non-existent, and will remain so just as
long as we have complete immunization.
Diphtheria can be prevented by,
means of Diphtheria Toxoid. A whole
family can be wiped out in one week by
Diphtheria, Diphtheria Toxoid is avail -
Fishermen
What kind of fisherman are you?
Butt of more jokes than, perhaps,
any other group of persons allegedly en-
joying outdoor sports, fishermen may be
divided into three main types, according
to Sault Ste. Marie District Forester A.
J. Herridge, of the Ontario Department
of Lands and Forests, speaking from long
and varied experience with the angling
fraternity. Says he:
"1. We all know the big-hearted
'Charlie who knocks on the door about
Sunday midnight and donates three or
four fish—yet to be cleaned. The reasons
behind. a lack of enthusiastic and immed-
iate show of gratitude seemingly miss this
individual. He has completed his mission
for the weekend, caught the fish and at-
tempted to see that they are not wasted.
The percentage of success on this latter
score is generally low.
"To this fisherman, success is mea-
sured by the extent to which he has been
able to overpower the fish. The larger
the numbers, of all sizes, the better the
trip. Bag and size limits he is aware of,
but generally only as a conversation
piece. Most prominent characteristic of
this group is the over -powering instinct.
"2. The sceond group is made up of
individuals truly deserving the title
'Disciples of Izaak Walton'. This type
• fishes the year 'round, in a sense—his
winter devotecl to overhauling his reels,
tying new flies, preparing lines, rods and
creel and, above all, examining catalogues.
During the open seasons he plans a fishing
trip in. no less detail than is given to a
snilitaiy campaign. Water temperatures,
feeding habits, moon phase, likely fishing
pressures, times of sunrise and sunset, all
are factors which he weighs with extreme
care.
"Expense, work and planning all are
forgotten when this type of fisherman
finds a quiet pool on a trout stream and
tries to outwit the highly prized speckled.
It is this true sportman's approach to out-
witting the fish that characterizes this
group.
"3. Part-time fishermen make up the
third group. For them, the big selling
point in any fishing trip is the opportunity
to 'get away from it all'. Once away, rec-
reation may take one of many forms—but
the fish population will not be greatly re-
duced. Using fishing trips for purposes
other than catching fish is this group's
• principal characteristic." That's how Dis-
trict Forester Herridge sees it. That all
groups thoroughlytnjoy the popular sport
is not debatable!
able to every family who will take ad-
vantage of it.
Whooping Cough, the greatest child-'
killer of all, can be aided by universal
use of whooping cough vaccine. In 1940-48,
whooping cough killed three times as
many children as measles, mumps, small-
pox, scarlet fever, dipittheria, polio and
meningitis combined.
Triple protection is available through
a preparation which combines whooping
cough vaccine and diphtheria and tetanus
toxoids. This combination` reduces the
number of injections, that would be re-
quired, if each were to be administered
separately, and has the added advantage
of developing immunity to all three dis-
eases simultaneously. Because of the high
mortality from whooping cough in the
first six months of life, it is desirable to
begin immunization early, preferably at
three months of age.
The Rules: Immunize every child.
Immunize early. Keep immunity high
with periodic "booster" or "recall" doses.
Family doctors and health officers stand
ready. Be wise! Immunize!
Coffee Break?
Farmers shZulcl follow the example
set in industry and take a "coffee break"
every morning and afternoon.
Sound silly to you? Then read this
short article by the National Safety Coun-
cil and reconsider:
"Despite its advantages, farming is
not a safe occupation.
"Accidental death comes to Canadian
farmers twice as often as it does to those
engaged in trade, Last year three farmers
died from accidents for every fisherman
so killed. The accident mortality rate on
farms is 84 times as great as that in fin-
ancial institutions.
"The Department of Labour, `Ottawa,
source of this information on fatal acci-
dents, gives their cause. While angry ani-
mals, such as cattle and horses, kill some
farmers every year, and while lightning
strikes the occasional fatal blow, the
greatest single source of accidental death
on the farm is machinery.
"Tractors and loa:dmobiles, cars and
trucks collide or topple or crush. Belts '4
and pulleys also take their toll. The threat
of machines is not likely to diminish;
as*
farms increasingly become mechanized.
"Now that a knowledge of machinery
—as well as of stock breeding, soil -con-
servation, and marketing—is required 9f
the farmer, might he not take a leaf
from the book of the professional mech-
anic? If he does, he stands a chance of
increasing his life span.
"Mechanics and others employed in
large factories today know that it does
not pay to work at steady grind hour
after hour. Their employers know it, too.
Consequently, the coffee break has today
become a regular part of factory practice.
"At 10.30 in the morning and 8.20 in
the afternoon, workers in many plants
shut 'off their machines, take a stroll, a
cup of coffee, stretch their legs, and ex-
change conversation with their fellows.
The brief "break" relaxes and refreshes
them, enabling them to banish fatigue.
"Fatigue, many observers suspect, is
the basic cause of many accidents. It is
not so much that machines ,go out of kil-
ter; it is human endurance that has a
limit. Fatigued, a man grows careless and.
immediately becomes accident-prone.
"Inattention, .even a momentary per-
iod of day -dreaming, or a brief distegtird
of -safety rules may lead to sudden death
on t he farm, as elsewhere. The rural
adoption of the coffee break, according
to safety experts, may lessen the risk and
reduce the number of accidental deaths
on Canadran farms which stood at 104 in
1954 according to preliminary official
figures."

Modern Household Gadgets
I had the pleasure of attend.,
ing a wedding on Sattriday and
of limiting over the gifts to the
bride. Tremendous strides have
been made since the day over 35
Years ago that 1 looked over our
wedding gifts and thought that
they were wonderful.
Today many young coupleS
start off with more conveniences
and gadgets than the old people
ever 'dreamed of and every year
something new appears on the
market.
Looking over the miscellan-
eous gadgets, housekeeping in one
of the modern apartments should
be quite a simple affair. Witt
such equipment it seems a simple
proposition to maintain house and
at the same time for man and
wife to 'botli find employment
especially in the cities.
Lots Of Recreation
Going to work at nine o'clock
in the morning and quitting at
4.30 or 5 o'clock in the after-
noon with Saturdays off, there
should be plenty of time for
housework and recreation.
One of the first gadgets that
attracted my attention was a
pop-up toaster, Most pop-up toast-
ers require you to press a lever
te lower the bread to be toasted
but not the one we saw Saturday.
You simply put the bread in and
it drops automatically and presto
you have golden brown toast.
Sitting beside the toaster was
an automatic coffee maker that
shuts itself off and keeps the
coffee at a set temperature as
long as you want it. In fact there
were two such coffee makers so
that if the brew for the wife was
not satisfactory to the husband
both could have their own par-
ticular brand.
Then there was an automatic
fryer which does everything from
frying, to broiling, and baking.
You set the temperature and the
length of time and then forget
MERRY MENAGERIE
all about it and there you have
a steaming hot meal all ready
to serve.
At this particular wedding there
wasn't an automatic dish washer
and garbage disposal unit which
I understand are being installed
in many modern apartments but
there were enough greenbacks
pinned to the wall to provide for
this deficiency.
Easy Ironing
Then there- was an electric
iron tor dry or steam ironing.
No need to dampen the clothes
before ironing. Just ,ponin some
sterilized water -it must be ster-
ilized to keep lime from forming
4)n the inside -then adjust the
required heat. I wonder what the
bride of today would thin if
she had to iron with the old flat
or sad irons that had to be kept
heated over a hot stove and
changed as they cooled of. Some
Will remember the great stride
that was made when a charcoal
iron 3yas introduced. Hot char,
coal was placed in the iron to
keep it warm.
In the old days who ever heard
of a Lazy Susan, a contraption
that whirls around on ball bear-
ings, with several sections for
pickles, sauces and what not, so
that it sits in the centre of the
table and can be reached from
any direction. It is very hand-
some to look at. In our day the
silver cruet -stand for pepper,
Salt, vinegar, etc., etc., was the.
piece deluxe that stood in the
centre of the table and is much
sought after today by antique
dealers.
The silverware and the china
today all go by special names.
With central heating in most
apartments what in the world is
a couple going to do with a half
dozen woollen blankets. His and
Hers, the Boss and the .Slave
designated same of the linens.

At the first fall meeting of the
Public Lfbmary. Board held on
Wednesday evening two new mem-
bers were Introduced -- Mr. Cecil
Wilson and Mr. A. B. Idle re-
placing Mr. Ernest !ones and
Rev, A, E. Holley who have left
town.
The problem of more space for
books was discussed and more
shelving for teen age books is
now being built. Arrangements
for further•space had to be held
over till the October meeting.
Mrs. R. N. Creech ,presided for
the meeting..
At a special meeting on Friday
afternoon a typewriter was pur-
chased for the use of the librar-
ian Mrs. H. Laing'.
Some of our readers tell us
that they enjoy a book of bi-
ography -- that time does not
matter When they become inter-
ested in reading the interesting
account of the life of a worth-
while men or woman. Then let
me commend te you "John A,
Macdonald -the young Politician,""
This book was written by Don -
aid Creighton, professor of Hist-
ory at the University of Toronto:
He was born in Toronto and wis
educated there, at Victoria Col-
lege and later at Oxford. He has
had the distinction of being' a-
warded three fellowships 'of in-
ternational importance. The two
latter of these were devoted to
research of this biography. In
1951 he was awarded the Royal
Society of Canada's Tyrrell 0iedal
for historical whiting.
The Young Politician
The book "The Young Politic-
ian" begins in the Ringston of
Upper Canada in 1820 and ends
in Ottawa, the still primitive
capital of the newly -created Dom-
inion of Canada on the evening
of July 1, 1867—Confederation
Day. Step by step with the country
went _young John A. Macdonald
at 'first lacking in direction but
presently moving with certainty
toward his own great place in
the new nation's story. His youth-
ful talents, amiability and a gift
for seeing always with a clear
and amused eye develop until
they .come together fully matur-
ed. The young politician becomes
at last the great statesman when
only statesmanship could have
riveted the pieces of Canada to-
gether.
The showy graces of youth had
by 1867 turned into the virtues
of patience, tolerance and casual
good fellowship.
Up to the release of this book
too many Canadian biographies
haves been formal and dull but
you will enjoy ,readhlg."John A.
Macdonald—the Young Politic-
ian."
A second volume covering the
years from Confederation to John
A. Maodonald's death entitled
"John A. Macdonald—the Old
Chieftain" is now in -print and
we 'hope will be in "Your Lib-
rary" soon.

Dear Sir:
Is it possible that councillor
Ross Taylor was misquoted in
last week's paper in a report 'of
the council meeting?
The 'statement attributed to
him, was that the land till prac-
tice at the dump would be an
expensive one as the trench dug
for $150 had been filled with
one week's garbage.
This is only misleading to the
readers as the only trench dug
a montb ago has yet to be used.
The garbage is still dumped on
the flat and burned.
YOurs truly
