We have just concluded an-
other year, and as' your MOH
1 must add that it'has ,.been., a
much happier year ;as far as
has been the experience of your
local' Board of Health. A few
minor problems have arisen, but
with the co-operation of ell
parties concerned, they were
quickly, and; I believe, adequat-
ely settled before anything like
a major problem set in. 91

Community Health. Good
The health of- this community

quite favorably witli that of other
communities We
have aVoided
extensive epidemics during the
past year with the one • possible
'exception — that of influenza —
wbich has been more or less
prevalent all fall. The favorable
health ihdee, as; seen here, is
due to many factors -- such as
water supply, pasteurization of
milk, wrapping of bread, more
care in the operation of slaughter
houses, and periodic inspections
of same, where. 'meat is being
prepared for public sale.
Inspection of eating places,
restaurants, hotels, cafes and

periodically and I believe a real

Immunization
Continuance of carrying out
immunization routines in both
adult and children also plays a
big .factor in the health of the
community. One observation I
would like to make while on
this subject, is the increasing
number of children who have
received immunization routine
before they evenstart to school.
I also wish it to be known how
much appreciated has been the
cooperation and assistance of our
resident County Nurse, Miss M.
Mackenzie in assisting me with
the school children.
Now, in order to keep this
health standard favourable, it is
necessary that all the people in
the community consult their
respective doctors at the first
sign of a cold or sickness of any
kind, which, if seen early by
your doctor, is more likely to be
treated successfully and in a
much shorter period of time than
it would be if allowed to drag
on longer.
Chest X-ray Clinic
A very successful ehest X-ray
clinic was held earlier in the
year and nearly 2,000 of our citi-
zens took advantage of same.
And of that numbers of X-rays
taken, only two or three were
picked out es doubtful or active
cases, and the proper treatment
was prescribed for them immed-
iately. This was carried out by
the Ontario Department of Health;
local arrangements being made
through the lochl board of health
and the County association for
the prevention of Tuberculosis.

elsewhere. I undrestand that it
is planned to hold these clinics
annually.
'Children Immunized
Immunization routine for Scar-
Iet Fever was carried out on
about 38 to 40 school children this
year. About 30 received routine
immunizations for Petussis and
Diphtheria; 34 were vaccianted
against Small Pox; and 135 receiv-
ed annual reinforcement doses
for Petussis and Diphtheria. In-
dividual certificates have been
prepeerd, signed and distributed
to the .children concerned in
order that their parents know
exactly the immunization their
children have received.
New Hospital Wing
Your MOH is pleased to report
on the addition and completion
of a new wing to the local hos-
pital which has greatly relieved
the over -crowding situations) ex-
perienced in the former build-
ing. This new building should
be a source of pride to the people
of this community, and more
adequately fulfills a long-await-
ed need for more hospital beds.
This should auger well for the
better care of the future sick of
the community.
Water and Milk Good
Water and milk samples, on
each and every occasion when
submitted, have resulted in the
same satisfactory results which
we have experienced in the past
and have been declared adequate
in quality and free from patho-
genic organisms and wholly fit
for human consumption.
The Vital Statistics report has
been prepared in detail on a
form issued by the Ontario De-
partment of Health. A copy of
this report is retained by your
local. Board of Health, and is
available for your perusal or
inspection on this or any future
occasion.
(This report indicated 186
births during the year, including
eight still -births, and 49 deaths,
including 32 non-resident. Cases
of communicable diseases num-
bered 38, made up of one measles,
one mumps, one chicken pox,
Similarly, other more detailed
reports which ere required by the
Ontario Board of Health, have
ibeen prepared and copies of
same are likewise retained by
your local board.
County Health Unit
Much has been said of and
possibly a County Health Unit is
in the making. However, there
is still much confusion in the
minds of many of us as to when
or how it will function. I am
wholeheartedly in favor of the
venture because if and when it
goes into operation it will pro-
vide a more uniform working of
the various activities of Public
Health in the entire county. There
is, in my mind, .a definite need
for such a scheme, As things
stand to -dry, some M.O's.H. are
active and doing what is expect-
ed of them,; others, unfortunately,
are the M.O's.H. in name only,
ere not being paid enough to do
their work properly even if they
wished' to do so, with the end
result that they are being paid
for holding a position and at-
tendieg • the annual health con-
vention and some do not even
attend that The stipends paid
local M.O's.H, are far below what
they should be. 1 believe, in
the meantime, end' until such time
as the County Health Unit goes
into operation, these annual sal-
aries should be raised. For if,
when this unit goes into opera-
tion, for instance, Clinton's share
of the health costs will be much
greater than it has ever been
heretofore.
Health Convention
Your MOH attended the annual
Health Convention held at Ham-
ilton this year in the Royal Con-
naught Hotel. It was a very
interesting affair. and greater and
greater strides are being made
from year to year in the sphere
of public health. This is ex-
treineIy noticeable to one who
attends these conventions annual-
ly. As your MOH I shall again
urge upon this body of local
legislators a desire for your
wholehearted support, cooperation,
end some added encouragement
to him in his work. In- return
for this I am sure he will be
more desirous and willing to
carry out the health duties im-
posed upon him by this muni-
cipality in endeavouring to pro-
mote even better standards of
health then we so proudly enjoy
at this moment.
In conclusion, I wish you, the
old Council a Happy and Pros-
perous New Year and to the new
Council, a promise to cooperate
and carry out my various duties
in the best interests of health,
as it concerns our continunity
geii rally' and our citli8'tie in
