THOSE CHIMES AGAIN a Far Plugs Suggested For Clock's Critics Town Council has learned of one more citizen who believes that the court house clock should be seen but not heard. S. H. Blake, town clerk, told Council Friday might that an un- identified resident had come into his office to register a complaint. It was the second complaint in two weeks. At its previous meeting, Council received a letter from an hotel patron, who registered an emphatic protest against itht-chim.ng of the clock at 6 a.m. Council was informed at that time that the clock had been chim- ing out the time between 6 a.m. and midnight. Mayor J. H. Graham said that he had dealt with the hotel patron's complaint by having ori_ -hour ,cutsoff , he chiming hi the morning and an hour at theother end. Apparently this adjustment stir doesn't suit the citizen who com- plained to the clerk. This man objects to the clock striking after 8 p.m., when he re- tires for the night, and chiming in the afternoon when he tries to • have a nap. One councillor was inspired to ask, "How does he work in -so much sleep?" Another official suggested, "Per- haps we could adviseehim that we are willing to provide a limited number of ear plugs." And Mayor Graham said, "I don't know where we'd get a clock to suit them all."

Sanderson Named To Arena Commih'ee Members of the seven -man Gode-p - rich Recreation and Arena Com- mittee completed their terms of office on August 31, Town Council was Informed Friday night. There definitely will be one new face—and possibly there will be more—ori the 1957-58 committee. Since the Council meeting, it has been Learned that R. G. (Bert) Sanderson will replace Leon Black as • the Lions Club represcutative on the committee. Council has two members on the committee. They are Councillors Peter S. MacEwan and Joseph Allaire. Other members of the 1956-57 committee have been Chairman Gordon Bannister, representative of the Kinsmtu Club; Trustee Robert Rae, representing Goderich schools; Ralph Kingswell for Can- adian Legion Branch 109; Joseph Moody for Goderieh Trades and Labor Council, and Mr. Black for the Lions Club. Secretary -treas- urer of the committee is John G. Berry. Procedure for appointmuit of committee members is that each organization recommends a repre- sentative, who . then must be ap- proved by Council before the ap- pointment is official. Lifesaving Stations Councillor James Bisset, chair- man of Council's water, light a,nd harbor committee, said that he had been asked if the town would pro- vide the labor which would be in- volved in installing 10 lifesaving stations around the harbor. Coun- ci1 left the request in the hands R. G. SANDERSON of C Lncillor Bisset's committee with power to act. It was announced a few weeks ago that the Aqua Club and Lions Club planned for provide the life- saving stations, which will include ring buoys and pike poles. A request from MacDonald Marine for a five-year lease cn the bathing house concession at the harbor is being Studied by Council, as is the firm's request for permis- sion to provide a marine railway adjoining Snug Harbor. Asian Flu Invading Hur Seen As Imminent— The advent of cooler weather increases our optimism for another polio' free year in Huron, says Dr. R. M. Ardis, M.O.H. for Huron County in a report to the Huron )County Health Unit. While there were some suspected cases of polio' during the summer, with a few patients requiring admissicn to hospital, clinical and laboratory tests did not confirm the presence of the disease and uneventful re- covery was the general rule, -says the report. The reportcontinues as follows: It is interestng, however, that in some of these patitnts, special investigation revealed a virus which was neither the poliomyelitis organism, nor a member of another group tisually associated with polio' like illness. In younger patients a rash of .short duration was oft e present. Evidently sin filar eases 'of a minor illness have been reported throughout Ontario during the past two years. In the first six month of 1957, over ,22,000 doses of polid' vaccine were provided to count/ children. These doses represented initial pro- tection to 4,750 preschool children, a nd 1,320 secondary school stud- ents, and third doses to about 7,000 elementary school pupils , Vaccine was also supplied to RCAF Stations Clinton and Centralia for admin- istration under their medical of ficers t1 approximately 1,000 resi- dent preschool and school chitecn. Witholio' vaccine now in more plentiful supply it isp lanned to include this protection at the child health conferences which are re- commencing this fall at five county centres. No gore: nrnent state- ment has been received yet, how- ever, to authorize free supplies for adults. Asian influenza is imminent. While no cases have been confirm- ed by laboratory study as yet locally, it is almost certain that this new virus will invade .Huron by winter. Height of the epidemic is usually reached ,about one month after the appearance of the early cases. Authorities report that the disease i,4 relatively mild, and does not in any way approach the sever- ity of the "Spanish" 'flu' of 1018. Respiratory complications can result from the Asian variety, how- ever, and may be serious, especial- ly •in the extremes of youth and age, and the debilitated. The incubation period is short, usually one to three days. Illness develops rapidly and is character- ized by fever, chin`s, headache, aches and pains in the back and limbs, wealnes:s, congestion of the nose, sore throat and cough. The average duration is four to five days. Treatment at home with bed rest, aspirin, simple diet and gen- eral common sense will suffice in most cases. Because of the pos- sibility of complications patients should not return to work until all symptoms have completely sub- sided or their physician has ap- proved. Preventative measures which ap- ply to any respiratory type illness are applicable, Le, avoiding arse of common towels, cups, etc., avoid- ance of crowds, avoidance of fa- tigue, dressing for the weather, and consulting the physician for persistent cough, cold, or related com_� ]p.laint. sieial vaccine when available, ilable, offers good protection but must be given in advance of an epidemic. To date no vaccine has becn al- l located to either service or civilian t personnel in Huron. a AAY S IF NEW PLANWC } Yt�>tCrip Fon a a ��rwA4A 414;
