CHRISTMAS
,
I watched a man and a little lad,
,
The man. I'd truth wasthe laddies'
dad,
It was Santa time for girls and boys,
Counting their pennies, picking their
toys.
Holding him high so close to his
breast,
Looking the while at things he liked
best, •
And then he 'cried -Look there is
Santa, ,
We'll buy him, daddy — yes, I
wants.' -•
Up to the front and then to the
• back,
Bought him some candy, and, crack-
erjack.
Love at its best, of that I was cer-
tain.
As I sat and mused behind the cur-
tain.
Who was it said Santa's just a fake,
Don't tell the kiddies, for goodness
sake,
He'll never know the joy "to be had
At Christmas — when junior shops
with dad.
What can compare to a little -child,
Innocent, happy andndandefi
ed,
What makes Christmas a season of
joY,
It marks the birth of a little boy.
—JOHN BEATTIE.

Dr. P. L. Brady, Medical

Y,
'Health, was present and gave his re-
port for 1948, some of the highlights
of which included the town's vital
statistics, • population 1,971, births,

174; deaths, resident 42, non-resident
29: there was an increase of both
births and deaths over the previous
year. Causes of deaths included 29
from heart disease,19 stroke, Sac-
cident, 6 cancer. Dr. Brady stated
that
garbage collection had not been in-
stituted last year chiefly through.
lack of a ro er dump; he strongly
p p,
recommended that garbage collection
be proceeded with as speedily as pos-
sible. There was no public health
nurse in Seaforth district last year
and as a result checking over pupils
in schools, etc., had not been done.
A mass survey for tuberculosis oor-
trol was held when 1976 persons over
12 years were x-rayed, an estimated
60 per cent of the 3000 persons in the
district, No active cases were dis-
covered. A monthly follow-up T -B
clinic at the hospital is attended by
an average of four persons No cases
of V.D. were reported. The MOH had
examined water from four private
wells in town and all were class A.
He bad made 15 visits to the dairy
and.16 visits to producers. All sam-
ples taken of pasteurized milk were
entirely satisfactory.
Mayor Keating said he understood
the new ,comity health organization
will be in operation in July,
Before the report of the striking
committee was adopted appointing
standing committees for 1949, Coun-
cillor Wallace Ross asked that a
special committee be appointed if
garbage collection is introduced,
"I don't want to be the goat," he
said, and was assured that the prop-
erty committee would not have to.
take responsibility for garbage col-
lection.
Mayor Keating suggested that 0
,copy or the rules governing the - town
dump be posted up in the cleric's
office.
Councillor Close, chairman of street
committee, reported" snowplowing
costs much below last year.
Discussion about the jurisdiction of
the provincial police ended with a
decision to get advice from the town
solicitor. There were complaints that
windows at the rink are being broken,
and also that high school pupils and
others are riding on the sidewalk on
Main street from the highway corner
down to the postoffice,
Councillor Ross said double riding
on bicycles is also against' the law.
Councillor .McMaster spoke highly
of the work being done by the Salva-
tion Army home iu London, which
asked for the usual. grant. It is a wor-
thy cause, he said, and cases from
here -are taken .care of every year.
