[AGE TWO THE MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS SHOULD NOT TOLER- ATE BUSSES ON YONGE STREET The Minister of Highways for Ontario has been vested by parliament with the power ofgranting bus permits on provincial highways. Hon. G. S. Henry the member of the legislature for the riding of East York is the Minister of Highways and as such has a personal knowledge of traffic conditions as they exist to-day on Yonge Street. In the‘face of the dangerous condition of traffic on this main artery of travel it would seem the Minister would be serving the best interests of the people in refusing to allow the T. T. C. to op- erate busses instead of radials on Yonge Street. The Minister of Highways is also the head of a provincial organ- ization working in the interests of safety and it would apâ€" pear quite evident, that an order from his department sanc- tioning the use of sufficient busses to carry the passenger traffic on North Yonge Street, would not be exactly, a move in the interests of public safety. The Boards of Health of the municipalities of Richmond Hill, Markham Township and Markham Village paid a fitt- ing tribute to Public Health Nursing when at their meeting this week the members unanimously‘voted in endorsation of the work, and in favor of having it continued in this district. Their action will meet with the favor of communities which they represent and marks an epochal milestone in the marâ€" ch of progress. “Health is Wealth,” and the truth of this is appreciated most sincerely by those who are forced to go through life with the affliction of disease. Often times the individual might have been spared the suffering and disappointment ‘of such a life by the proper medical care and attention in early childhood. This is the work of the Public Health Nurse who goes her rounds of the schools and homes, ever on the alert for the slightest symptoms of disorders or disease. It has been intimated that probably Hon. Mr. Henry might have something to say to the T. T. C. about the aban-. donment of the radials and the public are eagerly waiting to hear exactly in how plain a language he will say it. In the controversy concerning the abandonment of the radials it would appear that it is Mr. Henry’s move. The achievements of Public Health Nursing are too well known to need repetition in these columns, sufficient to point out that the idea has grown from a small beginning in this country to be accepted to-day as one of the most notable and commendable of all community undertakings. Public Health Nursing stands as the outstanding effort of our country to protect the most precious asset of the nat- ionâ€"the lives and welfare of our boys and girls. From the standpoint of the individual, the home and the nation it is a work which the community cannot afford to be without. Next week the recommendation of the Boards of Health will be presented to the various municipal councils, and in accept- ing the proposal for carrying on the‘work they will be rend- ering to the electorate notable and commendable service. Such action' by them will be the means of bringing untold blessing to the community, in the form of a healthier and happier people by virtue of proper care and attention during the critical days of childhood. As the flood of accidents, especially during the week- ends, continues to grow no effort to arouse action to save human life should be overlooked. It will require steady, constant, continued education, as it has in every instance where public safety has been sought. A traffic consciousness must be awakened which will bring to each individual motorist, man or woman, old or young, the realization that accident in which life is lost or injury caused is in most cases preventable and a calamity {amused by criminal carelessness. A PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE FOR VAUGHAN TOWNSHIP The establishment of Public Health Nursing in the municipalities of Richmond Hill, Markham township and Markham village is now almost assured and there seems no apparent reason why this work should not be extended to in- clude other municipalities in the district, with equally satis- factory results as have been obtained here. A Public Heal- th Nurse could possibly serve the Township of Vaughan and the village of Woodbridge with efficiency and thus another area of York County would reap the advantages of this great work. It is probable that a M. O. H. for the township will be appointed at the next regular meeting and to the new in- cumbent of the office we commend a careful investigation of the merits of the plan. From our office window we have a splendid view of the memorial erected by the citizens of Richmond Hill to the boys of this community who sacrificed their lives in the Great War in the cause of right and freedom. We have oc- casion to see the numerous visitors to this fitting tribute to the noble sacrifice of our community’s young manhood and We often picture the enterprise and determined purpose of those of the community who labored over a period of years to make the erection of a fitting memorial in Richmond Hill possible. The memorial is badly in need of cleaning and a small expenditure for this purpose would make a marked im- provement. The suggestion that the lettering be made more distinctive by being made in black is a good one which should engage the attention of the council.

The reason Why we refer to this particular disease is not in order to cause a thrill of horror, but to remind our readers that rabies can be pre- vented. The time between the occur- rence of the bite and the development of symptomsâ€"the incubation periodâ€" varies a good deal; the average in man is about forty days. If the dis- ease is to be prevented, it is necessary that the treatment, which by the new Semple method takes fourteen days, before completed, and that fifteen days 'be allowed for the full develop- ment of the protection which the treatment gradually produces. In order to secure the necessary twentyâ€" nine days before the symptoms deve- lop, it is essential that treatment be started at the earliest possible mom- ent. There are certain diseases which, al- though they are comparatively rare and are responsible for but few deaths attract attention because of the Sufi"- erings which they cause and our inaâ€" bility to cure then). For example, we think of rabies with horror, not be- cause it is a common disease or be- cause it causes‘many deathsy but for the reason that when it does occur, we find ourselves helpless.

Persons who are bitten by animals should immediately consult their phy- sician in regard to treatment. The doctor will c'auterize the wound with fuming nitric acid and will advise as to the Pasteur preventive treatment after considering the circumstances. The animal responsible should not be killed, but should be captured and kept. If it has rabies, it will die in a few days. If after ten days, the ani- mal shows no symptoms, this is evid- ence that it is not suffering from rab- ies. In the meantime, treatment will have been started because, as stated, there is no time to be lost, and it is continued until the physician is cer- tain that it is not required, or, if it is required, until the treatment has been completed.
