The health of the community has been good throug out the year except for an outbreak of streptococcal throat infection starting in the Fall and continuing through the year end. There was only the usual amount of communicable disease otherwise. Examination of new pupils was done at both grade schools as in the past and the program of immuniza- tion for all pupils was carried out against polio, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. Mrs.Rena Macadam, the school nurse, made frequent visits to the schools for the purpose of vision testing, hearing testing, immunization and search for health abnor- malities. Immunization of infants and pre-school children was done. at the doctors' offices as usual. Only a v ery few adults have kept up with their polio, im- munization. There were minor outbreaks of Measles, German Measles and Mumps during the year but no cases of polio or whooping cough were seen and = next col..

It is proposed that school di- visions will be designated by regulation in the territorial dis- tricts in Northwestern Ontario, They will each encompass a geographic area around a cen- tre in which is located an exist- ing high school or schools, and will include the lands in the present rural and urban school sections, townships and district school areas and high school districts served by the second- ary schools. A board of education having juvisdiction over both public and secondary schools would. be elected in each division. Al- though the board of education would be composed of trustees elected by public school rate- payers and separate school sup- porters, it should be noted that the board of education has no jurisdiction over the separate schools, according to Steele. In CORNER' OF HIGHWAY 17 and MILL ROAD RE-ORGANIZATION - Continued from page 1 two cases of Scarlet Fever occurred. answer to a quesiion from the floor, Mr. Steele said that this was a matter of choice on the part of the separate school sup- porters. The trustees elected by separate school supporters are to represent the interests of those supporters in secondary schools only. It is to be hoped, that in the near future, the separate schools will be under a parallel proposal, he said. There are seven public schools listed in this area, al- though all not active. They are Rossport, Jackfish, Port Cold- well, Marathon, Heron Bay, Schreiber and Terrace Bay. The High Schools are Marathon, Schreiber and Terrace Bay. As yet, Manitouwadge has not been made part of the jurisdiction. Mr. Steele aiso mentioned that where a student may not find the course he is interested in, in his own jurisdiction, he will still be allowed to pursue that course in another school, with mutual consent of both school boards. A question and answer period followed the meeting. Mr. Steele stressed that the plan is a pro- posal to be put before the Leg- islature, and still not an accome plished fact. All schools were found to be in excellent sanitary condition. The North Camp dorms, dining hall, kitchen and food storage were inspected and found to be in sani- tary condition. Water samples submitted from the town supply have been reported as "A" by the Provincial Laboratories. The three sewage systems serving the town have been inspected by Provincial (Continued page 5..)
