Statistical Report A complete and lengthy report was submitted to County Coun- cil showing comparative statistics for ’57 and ’58. Chief among communicable diseases in De- cember 1958 were red measles: in 1957 there were only 53 cases, last December there were 123 cases. wth 259 cases reported dur- ing the whole of last year.

Everyone talks about the wea- ther, but no one does anything about it, so whilst this “old fash- ioned winter" continues to hold us in its merciless grip, at least we can submerge ourselves in seed catalogues and for a brief spell forget the stinging blasts, as we plan for the growing days ahead. By sowing seeds indoors early. we are able to gain from four to six weeks over those sown out- doors. Almost any sort of recep- tacle will do for starting plants, so long as it is pierced with holes for ready drainage. First. cover the holes of the flower pot with several pieces of broken pot and add an inch or two of coarse gravel or small cinders for drainage. Soil should consist of good ga‘rden loam, clean sharp sand and peat moss, humus or leaf mould in equal parts. Soil should be screened through 17a inch wire riddle and firmed down into pot until about 1” from the top. The pot is now watered thoroughly and the best way to do this is to set it in a pan of water, so that the pot is submer- ged two-thirds of its depth. Wait until the dampness begins to ap- pear on the surface of the soil, then set aside for an hour or two. Water should be at room temper- ature. The seed‘may be planted in rows or broadcast, but not thickly. Then sift fine soil over the seed. Many of the finer seeds may be pressed into the soil and not covered at all except with a plastic bag to keep them from drying out. As soon as a fair number of seedlings appear, re- move the bag and place the con- tainer in the light, but out of the direct rays of the sun. Tem- perature should be about 70 de- grees while germinating and 50- 60 thereafter. Do not water un- less surface appears dry, then give enough water to go clean through to the bottom. As plants increase in size. they should be thinned out by removing them from the soil. Do not break off. Damping off is the chief enemy of indoor plant culture. A light sprinkling of sand or powdered sulphur sometimes helps check fungus growth. ren; 7,499 school chum-en re- ceived polio vaccine and 3,784 adults received immunization for polio in 1958. There are no fig- ures available for 1957. Dr. King reported that of 285 complaints regarding health, etc.. received in their office 278 were well founded.
