The result was he has discarded his brace and is walking again. Mrs. Clayton Beynon had last Saturday night dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Ross Kirby and Sunday last.

Picking, Yonge Street Business and Professional Association Getting pretty shopworn by now is the old admoni- tion to “shop at home”. And yet, getting ragged at the edges as it is, the old suggestion merits quite a bit of examination. It’s a good dollars-and-cents proposition not only for the business or professional man who benefits through ad- ditional income, It’s equally good business for the shop- per whose dollar, if he or she stops to think about it for a minute, does extra duty for him or her. Mrs. Whoosis decides to buy a new dress for her youngster and battles her way to the city to do it, in- cidentally paying transportation. (Even that is going to cost her more now, with the increased T.T.C. rates.) She gets the dress, most likely paying not a cent less than she would have at home. But -- and this she may have overlooked â€"- some proportion of the dollars which she spent out of town would have, if spent at home, been returned to her and her family in the shape of taxes paid by a local merchant to help support the school to which that dress! with her daughter inside it, goes. So it goes all down the line â€" roads, lights, police protection, libraries, protection from fire and flood. a hundred other things all paid for by the taxes of Mrs. Whoosis and her family and by the merchants who, th'rough heavy property and business taxes, help the Whoosis family carry the load. Of course there’s a double side to the coin. The dollar that’s spent at home must â€" and “must” bears repeating â€" produce just as good quantity and service and quality as if it were spent miles away. Nobody can be expected to shop at home if shopping at home only produces ninety cents worth of value on the dollar_ _ But, granted that the “shop-at-home” dollar brings as good value at home as it would anywhere else, there are tangible benefits to the person who spends it there, just as much as to the business or professional man or woman into whose bank account it finds its way. For, lump it or like it, both the spender and the recipient of that shopping dollar are partners. Both are share- holders in the town they live in. And both have to carry part of the load of municipal activities through their taxes. ’ ' Let’s take educational costs, for one thing. And with it let’s take a dress for a youngster who is going to school. And let’s take, as a fictitious individual, Mrs. John Whoosis. Oversimplification? A suggestion that the munici- pality can be like the village where everybody lived by taking in each other’s washing? Perhaps, to a certain extent. But a cold, hard economic fact nevertheless. For, make no mistake, the dollar that goes into a city cash register helps to pay the taxes of that city and does not help to carry the local load. And the load is heavy enough that every little contribution to its shar- ing-up .helps. TEMPERANCEVILLE In 1959, 609 smallpox vabclna- tions were administered to. school children, but only 293 have been given in the same period this toxoid injections were given to school children in 1960, as com- pared to 2.985 for the same per- iod in 1959. And York County Public Health nurses have made 1,251 visits during the first two months of this year as compared to 704 in the same period last year. Influenza has also occurred heavily in many York County communities, Dr. King advises, although it is not prevalent in epidemic proportions. It is most noticeably affecting the young adult working population. Symptoms are: Abrupt onset of fever, lasting one to six days. chills or chilliness, general aches and pains in the back and limbs. headache, weakness, congestion as with a common cold, sore throat and cough. year. , -vi. Poliomyelitis vaccine injections for adults took a decided drop during- January and February 1960, with 137 doses administer- ed as compared to 410 for the same period in 1959. _. .nA Cure: Scarlet fever can be cur- ed rapidly with proper treat- ment â€" but, serious complica- tions and undesirable after-ef- fects can follow inadequately treated cases. Treatment : It Is important to go to bed immediately and to stay there until recovered. Reg lapse is often due to too early activity. A Cure: Immediate treatment by the family physician to minim- ize the severity and assist in prompt. recovery. Inadequately treated cases of influenza run the risk of complicating pneu- monia. Cases Up This Year 594 doses of diphtheria, tetan- us, whooping cough and polio vaccine have been administered to infant and preschool children so far this year. There is no ac- count for the same period in 1959. ~ Comparing the first two months of 1959 and 1960, Dr. King says statistics show 9 casas of scarlet fever last year, 14 in the first two months of this year. No red measles have been re- ported this year but in the first two months of 1959 â€" 171 cases were listed. 10d). Whooping cough: 1959 -â€" 12 (2 months); 1960 â€" 24 (same per- iod).
