A return to the employment conditions of the 30’s would involve most mun. icipalities in the area in tremen. dous financial burdens which, it would appear, can scarcely be met with present revenues. . . . Even in comparatively good times the inadequacies of the present struc- ture are showing up in various ways and in varying degree. .. . The committee feels that in all probability, during the past two or three winters, many citizens of the metropolitan community have been denied social services by both public .and private organizations, and on other cases¢he burden was thrown unfairly on certain public and private agencies. The commit- tee wishes to emphasize the ex- tremely high potential cost of pub. lic health and welfare services in the Toronto metropolitan commun- ity. Planners in the field of health and welfare believe that the need is increasing and has not yet been reflected in municipal expenditures. Public Health Metropolitan District Water, sewage and garbage dis- posal services: Present high costs of providing sewage and garbage disposal facilities and in supply- ing satisfactory quantities of pure drinking water, have imposed ser- ious limitations on the develop- ment of new residential areas in the Toronto metropolitan com- munity. The fundamental ques tion to be faced . . . would seem The most serious defect on the present system rests in the fact that communities outside Toronto are not always able to provide re serve facilities for maintenance of service when power failures occur The existence of 11 separate mun- icipal hydro bodies means, to some extent, a duplication of service ve hicles, service personnel and repair materials both in quantities re- quired and in location, While there is no great variation in rates, it is noted that during the past year the large semi-urban townships have been finding it more and more dif- ficult to provide hydro installa. tions at postwar rates. Traffic and Transportation The committee is strongly of the opinion that the final solution to the combined problem of public transportation and roads will in- volve consideration of several im- portant questions: (1) The fact that several jurisdictions now plan, build and control the three types of roads in existence; (2) The problem of financing arterial roads in the metropolitan area; (3‘ The advisability of integrating public transportation systems throughout the metropolitan area. Health and Welfare In the opinion of the committee, the cost of hospitals and public health facilities generally is per- haps borne too heavily by the res- idents of the City of Toronto, be- cause of the concentration of high standard facilities. (Because of the appointment of a special commit- tc: on metropolitan study, the the committee on metropolitan problem will make no recommend- ations on this point.) ‘ tion to be faced . . . would seem to be that of providing large-scale installations on some appropriate financial basis and without des truction of recreational facilities In this connection it is important to recognize that those municipal- ities with inadequate services would expect to be brought up to the urban standard in the event some form of metropolitan gov- ernment is created. Hydro Water, Sewage and Garbage A sing-song of Christmas Carols was led by Miss Stallwood of Stoufl'ville. Mrs. Purcell of New- market, reviewed the new booklet, “We the Teachers of Ontario,” 3 copy of which had been sent through the Association, free of charge, to each member. Miss Stallwood played a piano 5010. Miss Barnes of Newmarket introduced the guest speaker, Miss MacVicar of Victoria College, Toronto, who told of her experiences as a dayâ€" school teacher on an Indian reser- vation on the west coast of Van- couver Island. Miss Hosie of Stout’fville thanked Miss Mac\'ic.- The second open meeting of the York Assmiation of the Federation of Women’s Teachers Association of Ontario was held at Thornlea Public School recently.

A total of 2215 in- dividuals received X-rays, free of charge. These projects are made possible by the funds from T.B. Christmas Seals, and are part of a program to provide periodic X-rays throughout the Counties of A steady flow of cars and trucks is now coming through following the conclusion of the General Mo- tors ‘strike, states N.

In the Richmond Hill Survey, ten persons were found to show X-ray evidence of tuberculosis of the lungs. Clinical examinations revealed that four were presently INACTIVE, one was of QUES- TIONABLE ACTIVITY, requiring early examination, while so far, one is DEFINITELY ACTIVE, re- quiring admission to Sanatorium. A further four shOwed presump- tive evidence of tuberculosis, and four others require further exam- ination. The contacts of those with active, or possibly active tuberculosis, are being examined, if not x-rayed during the survey, to find possible sources of infec- tion. In addition to the discovery of those having tuberculosis of the lungs, twenty-one persons were found to have non-tuberculous diseases of the chest, such as bronchiectasis, atypical pneumon- ia, enlarged hearts, etc. A num- ber of others (approximately 70) were found to have less significant abnormalities, such as previous pleurisy, or slight calcification in the lungs. ‘ Lions Responsible Sanitarium Association Report Reveals Results Of October T.B.

Calls were made from house to house, persuading per- sons to present themselves for ex- amination. The successful com- pletion of such an endeavour speaks well for the neighbourhood, and probably encouraged the com- munity spirit. Perhaps the greatest value of a chest X-ray examination to the individual, is the knowledge and assurance that he or she does not have early tuberculosis of the lungs, when it would produce no symptoms. The X-rays will de- tect tuberculosis of the lungs in the early stage before symptoms occur, and thus will tend to pre- vent spread of infection to others. The greatest value of a survey to the community is the know- ledge that sources of tuberculosis infection are being found, and in that manner, the community is made a healthier place in which to live. This value is greatest when the greatest number of people liv- ing' in that community present them-selves for a chest X-ray. To detect tuberculosis of the lungs as it is developing in the EARLY stage. periodic chest X- rays are advisable. Therefore, it is anticipated that this service will again be provided for residents of Richmond Hill. By periodic and repeated chest X-ray examina- tions, offered to all persons, the National Sanitarium Association can make it possible for everyone to be sure that no tuberculosis of the lungs is present, or that if present, the (“Sense will be found in the earliest stage.

One of the rings stolen was Mrs, Bone’s engagement ring and other -artibles taken included some of great sentimental value. The house of Louis Dinof’f, Con- cord, was broken into at approx- imately the same time as the Bone robbery but, according to police, nothing was taken. “MQOOOQNOOOOwOONOOO Phone Richmond Hill '359r11 WIRING STUART PAXTON Electrician GORDOFS’S GARAGE Take your trucking problems to your Chevrolet dealer.
