CHILD RECOVERS AFTER HALF HOUR IN WATER Many people believe that artificial respiration is useless if the victim has been under water for more than a few minutes. This true story from the Health League of Canada will prove that- this is not so. On July 7, 1937, a little girl fell off a raft in Carleton Place into deep water. Two boys dived seventeen times before the little body was recovered. She must have been under water for a good twenty minutes. Two electrical workers trained in artificial respiration happened to be present and artificial respiration was started at once. The little girl breath­ ed in 35 minutes, and ultimately re­ covered.

Science features______ Safer Childbirth For Mothers and Babies Among the achievements of modern medicine, probably none is more satisfying — or dramatic — than the vastly increased safety in child­ birth. In 1953, while the number of births was soaring to a new high, only one American mother in 1,800 died during childbirth. The year 1930 seems to us very mych a part of pur modern age, yet in that year in the United States, f more than 12 women died out of every 1,800 who gave birth to a child. By 1945, this figure had been cut to four. The benefits of new medical techniques haven’t been confined ■ to mothers. As the number of deaths of women in childbirth has plunged down, the number of their babies who survive the dangerous first year of life has risen sharply. Today, the most dangerous time for the baby is during delivery and for the first few hours afterwards. In this crucial period, though, deaths have been cut by more than one-third in the last thirty years. , Between 1915 and 1948, the num­ ber of babies who didn’t survive ’their first month of life was re­ duced by one-half, and the number succumbing during the next 11 months dropped by four-fifths. > The fight against maternal and newborn fatalities has been waged on many fronts by physicians, health educators, hospitals and re­ search scientists in institutions and pharmaceutical laboratories. One small example of this .’prog­ ress is the increasing use of peni­ cillin to prevent infection in the eyes of newborn babies. The anti­ biotic is steadily replacing the use of potentially toxic silver nitrate for this purpose. Education of mothers-to-be, raising standards of hospital care for mother and_ child, and general public health' education and legislation have played a major role in making births safer today than they have ever been in the history of man. Some of the important killers, however'— childbed fever, preg­ nancy toxemias, whooping cough, POLICE PROBING PAISLEY ENTRIES Provincial police of the Walkerton detachment are investigating two break-ins at Paisley. The Paisley Food Market operated by Miss V. Beaton was entered. Thieves jimmied a rear door and took groceries, meat, meat knives and some petty cash. A service station owned by Dalton Moffat was also entered with admit­ tance gained by breaking a window and then opening the front door. A quantity of cigarettes, tobacco, choco­ late bars and soft drinks were stolen. INSIST ON FENCE FOR JUNK YARD Kincardine Town council decided against renewal of a junk yard lic­ ence until the operator erects a suit­ able fence around the premises. Deputy Reeve Harry Palmateer said he had been advised by the County engineer, E. Yundt, that con­ struction of new bridge on Broadway in Kincardine will be undertaken in the autumn. Department of Public Works in­ formed that ^levelling of land at the harbor will be undertaken shortly.

The Wingham Advanw-Times, Wednesday, August 17, 1955 I’MIb Ffrfc Shower Held for Mary Totting Friends of Miss Mary Tofting, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Tof­ ting, popular bride-elect of this week, entertained at a kitchen shower in her h9nor at the Legion home on Monday night. The room was prettily decorateci in pink and white with summer flow-^ ers for the occasion, ;; Miss Tofting was the recipient’"oF many useful gifts ‘and fittingly ex­ pressed her appreciation to her1 friends. Hostesses were Mrs. Fred Temple­ man, Mrs, C, Newman, Mrs. Percy Stainton and Miss Barbara Stainton., diphtheria and Rh incompatibility — could only be conquered by new drugs, vaccines and transfusion^ and surgical techniques. Whooping cough meant a death sentence in one-quarter of all cases of children under one, year as recently as the 1940’s. Now the use of serums and potent new anti­ biotics such as Polycycline are .making such deaths virtually un­ heard of. In the year 1953, only one child for every 300,000 popula­ tion died from anyone of the four main communicable diseases of childhood—measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough „and diphtheria. In the days of our grandparents? childhood, all four were a serious menace to the lives of children. The success of the fight against infantile paralysis is only one more step toward the victory which is being won on behalf of all the mothers and children in the world. The triumph of Dr. Salk’s vaccine may lead to the per­ fection of other vaccines or serums to ward off the virus diseases. STRUCK BY OAR, BOY, 4, SERIOUS Thomas Ransom, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Ransom, R.R. 4, Walkerton, is in serious con­ dition in Toronto Sick Children’s Hospital following an accident in which he was in collision with a car on No. 4 Highway near his home.

Sternall told Ontario Provincial Pol­ ice from Walkerton detachment who investigated he had seen two of the older brothers run across the road but failed to see Thomas. Of each tax dollar collected by the Federal Government of Canada, near­ ly 45 cents is collected within Ontario. •J Thurg., Fri., V/ "r- Aug. 18-19 “JOHNNY DARK” (Technicolor) Tony Curtis Piper Laurie Saturday Only Aug. 20 “Belle of the Yukon” Also Let’s,Go Navy BOWERY BOYS ’t 1 It jHl ON THE NO. 9 HIGHWAY JUST SOUTH OF HARRISTON BUSINESS and PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY A.
