Advantages Given Elaborating on the advantages of an organized Clean-up Cem- paign, Mr. Robinson stated: "The mark of the good house- keeper is a tidy, well -kept home that is a joy to behold and a pleasure to live in. Industry, too, is, conscious of the velue of good housekeeping. Clean, well - kept factories are healthier, saf- er and much less exposed to the risk of fire. Retailers know from experience the value of premises that are bright and spotless. "It needs little imagination to realize that the benefits of good housekeeping can accrue as well to our community," Mr. Robinson continued. It requires only some organization to initiate a beauti- fication programme and plan it carefully to get the co-operation of citizens individually and other civic groups and service clubs collectively. • "The reasons are goad; the removal of rubbish and other fire hazards; the improvement of the oarnmunity's health; the attrac- tiveness to the tourist of a clean, tidy town, Above all, we should be impelled by pride in our own community and a civic conscious fleas akin to that of the good housewife who glories in the cleanliness and good taste of her house and furnishings." —0 — WILL HELP MARK PAPERS BRUSSELS --Miss J.

Shaw, Medical Officer of Health for Clinton 18.93-1945, and Mayor 1899) The Mayor and Council of the Town of Clinton are to be congratulated on the CLIN- TON CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN and the slogan, "KEEP CLINTON KLEAN!" First impression made when coming to a town often conveys the idea that it is a good town or an indifferent town. Tidy streets and - yards and houses add much to the scene, Health above all that sight can give, is the most important feature. Refuse heaps are the breeding„ places for flies and insects that are the causes of many diseases, suelr as typhoid and dysentery. Besides, the growth of bacteria, when fed by moisture and the sun's rays, is the cause of many fires known as "fires of unknown origin." W. H. ROBINSON Chairman of the Civic Affairs Committee, Clinton and Dist - rich Chamber of Commerce, which is spearheading Clinton Clean-up Campaign this week and next.

OBITUARY DR, F. F. TISDALL One of Canada's great men in the field of nutrition, and a na- tive son of Clinton, Dr. Frederick F. Tisdall died suddenly at his farm at Thornhill, north of To- ronto, on Saturday, April 23. Dr. eisdall had suffered with a high blood pressure condition for two years and had been warned to slow down. Just the day before his death he had attended the laying, of the cornerstone of the new Hospital for Sick Children, with which he had long been associated. Dr. Tisdall was born in Clinton on November 3, 1893, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John P. Tisdall. He received his early education here and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1916 in Medicine. He was a fellow of both London and Can- adian Colleges of Physicians and held the OBE for distinguished services to the RCAF during the war. Dr. Tisdall was assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Toronto; director of laboratories and research at the Hospital for Sick Children; chair- man of the nutrition committee of both the Canadian Medical Association end the Canadian. Red Cross. Society; and a member of the food and nutrition board of the National Research Council, Washington, D.C. He served for three years in World War I with the Royal Can- adian Army Medical Corps, and then was on the staff of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, from 1920 to 1921. His research into diet was widely known, especially the oft -quoted Tisdall report on basic diet requirements which he had prepared for Toron_ to relief authorities. During We have been very fortunate in recent years, perhaps, because care has been taken not to throw oily rags or papers in heaps where they might get on fire. But more care must be taken where gasoline and oil ' are thrown carelessly, or where cigarette stubs are thrown when these inflammable liquid§ are close at hand. All empty cans and pails are breeding places for flies end mosquitoes that spread diseases to children and adults. Many oases of "pink eye" and opthalnria are caused in this way. One blow fly can produce more than. 700 flies in a week. The need for a clean-up to assure sanitary conditions in our town, is obvious. World War II he was a captain - in the RCAF and surveyed both servicemen's and civilian's diets, both at home and in Britain, and just recently had conducted a survey among the Indians in the Canadian North. Dr. Tindall was e. member of the editorial boards of numerous scientific journals. He was a contributor to many textbooks on nutrition and was author and co- author of more than 150 scientific publications, His hobbies were fishing and shooting and his farm at Thornhill. Dr. Tisdall was twice married, first to Bessie Alberta Woodland and latterly to Mary F. McTag- gart. He had four sons: Charles W., Frederick F., Jr„ Douglas M., and Gordon W. A brother, Charles P., Toronto, ,also survives. The funeral service was held at Trinity Anglican Church, Thorn- hill, on Monday, April 25, and' interment followed in Mount Pleasant. Centetery,..,Tbronto,: (Editorial in The Toronto Globe and Mail) The world of medicine has lost an outstanding authority on nu- trition by the untimely death of Dr. Frederick F.' Tisdall (form- erly of Clinton). He was widely recognized in his profession, and. might have taken almost any post available in his special field. He preferred to remain in Canada, however, and was associated for many years with the Hospital for Sick Children. As senior physician and director of the laboratories in that institution, he played an important part in its development in recent years. He was 0o -ordinator of professional services in connection with the new building, and attended the 1.e.a.44.4.14-41 P BY BEAUTIFYING OUR COMMUNITY 1.UP PAINT': Yp Clinton Clean-ups Campaign PM25 to MAT 7 inclusive EEP CLINTON KLEAN!

Though his work centred there, he was much sought after by govermnents as an adviser on putrition. He conducted surveys among the Indians in Northern Canada, in Newfoundland, in Britian during the war, and re- cently concluded an investigation into the food habits of a group of Toronto school children of all ages. He was adviser to the govermnent on diet for the arm- ed services, end frequently ap- peared es a witness in govern- ment investigations and Royal Commissions relating to his field. As a man he was widely loved. Generous, loyal, humorous, and deeply interested in people, he was the centre of a large circle of friends. He was fond of the children whose interests he serv- ed for so long, and took a keen personal interest in individual cases. He will be greatly missed by his colleagues and the nation• has lost much by his passing.

CLINTON CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN April 25 to May 7 Inclusive To the Citizens of Clinton: A tightening of all regulations pertaining to sanitation and cleanliness is slowly but surely bringing about improvements in living conditions in all urban community centres such as Clinton. Hence the establishment of a health unit under the direction of Huron County Council, naturally fol- lows. From present indications, this will be brought into force at the next sitting of the said Council. As the citizens of Clinton have quite recently completed an up-to-date sewerage system and sewage disposal plant at a large cost for the express purpose of doing away with the out-moded systems previously used, it is only right that Cl.intonians support to the limit a Clean-up Campaign. With the cooperation and unity of all organi- zations and individual citizens of Clinton, we have every hope that Clinton Clean-up Campaign will have the desired effect. Therefore: Let our future slogan be, "CLEANLINESS AND BEAUTY OUR CIVIC DUTY." Signed on behalf of Clinton Council ROBERT HAT T IN (Mayor]
