Yesterday I realized hew this bountiful wooded dis- trict must have cheered the early settlers, trekking through Onta- rio in search of suitable sites for their future homes. This south- ern part of Nelson Township was the nest part of Halton county to see white settlers, The Antos family, m 1800 were the first settlers, and Augustus Bates, the first white baby of Halton Coen - t'. was born in Nilson Township it must have been is lonely or- deal for the Bates family as tate township made tittle prncrss towards settles n'nt unci f 707 what a few more families !noised in. However, by 1850 the popula- tion had increased to 3,277. The first Presbyterian Churels was built in 1822 on a farm owned by Gilbert Bastedo. The first Melh- odist church. was built soon af- terwards. The Reverend Egerton Ryerson was one of the first ministers to preach in '.his die - Mkt. The southern part of Ne, - sun tov:ttship- was the scene of many a hard fought battle be- tween the Indians and the first -homesteaders. Many of the early settlers also took part m the battle of 1812, no doubt fighting, for strategic positions airing he /aware/nen t 1.',•090 'ill- tup o t.tte hills ionic- clown to the valley. across the still heavily wooded ;lopes, it is not too difficult to v,c't.ralize the life of the hardy ism/lignites who settled. here, defying the Indiana, snaking a clearing among the heavy timbre, duo at long last. harvesting good crops from the fertile soil, On mail boxes along the road, one reads familiar names, direct descendants of the early settlers Without a doubt many ot these farmers treasure the Crown deed to their property --- as we do ours, Many of the industries, lumber and grist mills have dis- appeared but other's have Laken their place.

Keep 'Young Swim. In the ,l.uly Some of ".Better Living" Andre Fontaine has an article entitled "Keep Swimmers Out Of Danger"—en article so timely and with such useful' ries• slbilities, that we're reprinting it, tut p a t' t, without waiting for permission from f14r, Fontaine, or tate Dominion Stores who control the distribution of the makazine. After all, courtesy is one tieing —but not so irnpertant as the possibility of preventing a few unnecessary tragedies. s Every time your child swims in your local pool his life may be endangered, Precisely how great the danger is, scientists do not know. Though polluted water often contains polio virus, test after test in the laboratory has failed to prove—without a fraction of doubt --that children with poliowere infected by swimming in unclean .water. in fact there is room for the seem - clan that swimming has nothing to do with the virus transference, Recent research by the American Public Health Association states that swimming pools are not a major public health menace, but that the danger in pools should be watched and curbed to an ab- solute minimum. For years ail. ments have been traced to bath- ing places—a very few cases of typhoid, many sinus infections, cases of the shin diseases, impe- tigo and athlete's foot. Doctors have also tracked to this source . dysentery, occasional mastoid and bone infections and, in Wisconsin and Michigan, a local ailment called "swimmers itch," caused by worn larvae. The effects of underwater swimming on human subjects were studied by the U.S. Public Health Service and a prepare - tory school in New England. The U.S.P.H.S. study centered in three test areas—Long Island Sound, Lake Michigan and the Ohio River, covering ocean, lake and river waters—places where people have bathed for many generations without a second thought. The conclusion reached was startling and simple. People who go in swimming pre sick oftener than those who don't, regardless of the purity of the water. The New England study, conducted by Dr. Roswell Gal. lagher, showed that the boy who swam in the school pool comes down with more of the virus diseases, like mumps and measles, than the boy who stayed out of the water. But try and keep any child in- side the house when it's 102' in the shade. Swinmting is a lot of fun and wonderful exercise—it's the only exercise which calls all the muscles into play with- out strain, and with coordination. We've come to realize that a child is in danger from the time he gets out of bed in the morning: he might step on a marble. fall and break an arm. So the com- mon-sense question is: What are the dangers and what will pro- tect your child.against them? No hazard is greater than pol- luted water. Most swimming pools take a precaution against bacteria in the water by adding germ -killing chlorine. Health de- partments, which keep a safety eye on these pools, require that enough chemical chlorine be used to hold the bacteria count down to a count of 200 bacteria per milliliter of water. This, up un- til recently, has been thought of as a low danger point and is the figure specified by the Ameri- can Public Health Association. Pool water is sampled every day or 00 a two-day frequency to make sure the count gee* no higher, The big "if" factor is the time this sample is taken. This test was tried on a pool in Hartford, Connecticut, by several scientists from the Yale School of Public Health, If., for example, the safe- ty count was taken in the morn- ing, the ratio of bacteria to water ranged around 200, meaning the water was quite safe.

One of the loveliest home - owned gardens I have ever seen is at the residence adjoining the Lowville feed mill, To give an instance -- can you imagine any- thing more striking than crim- son ramblers against a back ground of blue spruce?

If he has had ear infections, he prole. ably should wear ear plugs. Watch yuur child's oyes for signe of inflammation because water washes away the protective flubs that normally guards the eyes. Don't permit him to swim if he or anybody else at a pool hae highly contagious pink eye. There are other ailments that: stage their attack at pools, notab- ly athlete's foot and impetigo. "Impetigo is transmitted most frequently," says Professor Mood, "by use of the common towel." Be sure your child has his own towel and that he isn't gener- ously sharing it with his pals.. lb's Magic! samples were taken in tete after. noon, when the largest number of people attended elle pool, the count hit 2,000 or over—Water 6'0 clear you could see bottom, with all the dangers of a murky polluted pond.

Unfortunately this has been the common and un- questioned danger of every swim- ming pool. Nothing could be done stool nits 1,0..911)l danger signal —until now. New Cleansing h"recess A pioneering group of seiee- tista from Yale, headed by Pro• fessor Eric Mood, have worked out a new process of water puri- fication which puts us one step further along the road toward stopping disease before it starts, Called in science journals "high- free residual chlorination," it means to those who enjoy the swimming sport that pool water can be made free of germs—and kept that way. This is done by putting ten to twenty times more chlorine into the water than is used currently; despite the quan- tity the water is less irritating to the eyes and skin of swim- mers than under the old method. Mood's new process had its trial dip at the Hartford pool. Measuring the average bacteria of samples of water taken during the afternoon's peak, the count which once had totaled 2.008, was now I. High -free residual chlorination, tate newly discovered Yale puri- fication process, is so new that it was announced to Mood's fellow scientists only a few months ago. Experimental tests conducted over a period of two years at the Smith College pool never re- vealed any drawbacks. Swim- ming pools across the country probably will adopt this maw purification measure this year, if yours hasn't, urge 0. Other Dangers, Other defenses But aside from water pollu- tion, there are other dangers in swimming that you ought to know about. Several of these were summed up by Dr, H. Mar- shall Taylor in the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion when he pointed out that "man is not normally a water animal." He's not equipped with adequate protection for keeping water out of eyes, nose, ears and sinuses; nor has he inherited a satisfactory system for maintain- ing normal body temperatures in cold water. Consequently, says Dr. Taylor, 'unless he takes cog- nizance of the limitations nature has placed on hint, he subjects himself t0 the likelihood of con- tracting the infections that fre- quently beset swimmers." All experts agree that the num- ber one thing to avoid is chilling. When your child becomes chill- ed, his resistance is lowered and he's fair game for any bacteria or virus. This means you shouldn't letohim wear his suit in the pool and home again; he should change as soon as he comes out of the water. Also it's better if he doesn't stay in too long. Whether "too long" is fif- teen minutes or three hours de- pends on the child. Some young- sters have an insulating layer of ISSUE 29 — 1953 P ti 42rrr`p' ,��wsYil 1 4767 2—t0 Four -Way Wardrobe!
