To ,elate three. herds have been test- ed. In one, fifteen animals were test- ed and of these six reacted indicating tuberculhe infection, in another of 22 tested' four reacted and in the third of 43 tested six reacted: Dr. Harburn reported that those that reacted have been or are being disposed of in a proper manner as rapidly as the own- ers can do so, that all have been sep- arated from the milk -producing cows and that no milk has been sold :from them since the test was made. IW'hfle ;the result of this action has been satisfactory as far as it has gone, the 'Board of Health advises that milk for consumption still be pasteurized or boiled All herds have not as yet been tested, the dairymen, to meet the varying demand and furnish an ade- quate supply, find it necessary at ,tunes to procure milk from farmers with untested herds and in any 'event testing for tuberculosis affords no guarantee against undulant fever, septic sore throat or airy other of the milk -borne diseases. IDr. Harburn states that he .was gi- ven every co-operation by the dairy- men concerned and also that he is of the opinion that the result obtained is only a fair indication of what would be found if all herds in the county were tested similarly. There is no local by-law specifying the conditions under Which milk shall be produced and sold and until a Mu- nicip'al Council .has enacted such a by-law, the Local Board of Health of such municipality can recommend such measures as appear advisable but has no power to compel their ad- option. '('Signed) The Local Board of Health. TWENTY YEARS' SERVICE On Monday evening the Board o; Stewards of North Side United Church re -appointed as envelope sec- retary Dr. F. Harburn, wlh'o com- mences his twenty-first consecutive year in that post, having first been appointed in November, 1913. This is a remarkable record, and some idea of the changes a period of twenty years makes in human affairs may be glean- ed from the fact taat only one third of the names on the roll remain un- changed in that time—of 2138 names in 11911t3, only 81 remain. APPOINTED TO STAFF "The Varsity," University of Tor- onto newspaper of ,January 220d, .1934, carried a list of staff additions. Am- ong others, the appointment of A. Hiles Carter, as assistant in the De- partment of Biology for the Easter tern., 11934, was annotenced. Mr. Carter is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Carter of the Huron Road West. HOCKEY—AS IT SHOULD BE PLAYED lAn unu'sua'l contest between the K.IP.'W.'s and the IB.IB.B: s took place this afternoon. The rival squads lined upon the ice at ,K'aittin:g's Pasture, and with 'bent sticks and a 'small round ball, proceeded to play a game called Ihoakey. ''Reil Mc1Duffy and Hor- net 1iaaak McIntosh collided in the middle of the ice, however, before the game had been properly started. Mc - Duffy swatted Mdlntosh with his siick.:Mdlnitosih kicked MelD'tiffy in. the shins with his skates. Thereupon , Mc:Duffy 'fell clown, but, rising up, smote 'M'rllntosh mightily across the nether regions. At this stage of the game bath players started a 'fight whichwas only, quelled when 'Mc - Duffy skated through a hole in the ice. After the 'fighters had been car- ried off the ice, the game was not re- sumed for several hours because the referee had swallowed his whistle, but no decision as to the 'best 'team could be reached 'becauseneither team could count above ten. No, dear reader, this game took place is neither the McMillan 'Cup Series nor in the l0•IH.A.._25 is from a clipping in 'The Chicago Daily News sent by Clarissa Dodds, and is an au- thentic reprint of the Kingslton, Ont., Bugle's .account of the first hookey game ever played' in Canada, in 11856, between the 'Kai.tting Pasture ;Wild sats and the Sell Island Barbarians.
