DORKING DoOooN Allingham ‘"The Doon sewage disposal plant also came along with contamination of water in river and with a greater volume, polluting the water for a considerable distance down stream. To correct these conditions it reâ€" quires the skill of a qualified saniâ€" tary engineer and after the board examined the conditions, which apâ€" peared to be incxcusable, the board arranged and had an interview with the _ Provincial _ Department _ of Health, Toronto. We presented our case and complaint and the matter "Besides these dutics, the lurger part of our services were required under the (‘“"‘R“'R' of "Nulsancen".

Arrangements were made with the corporation of Waterloo to correet same, and during the Jatter part of the summer a good improve ment was noticeable. Results Attained. "Pupils are given an explanation of the value of hygiene and saniâ€" tation, and by perpetuating these instructions are promoting and maintaining _ an _ equilibrium _ of natural functions which lend themâ€" selves to contentment and health, thereby establishing one of the outâ€" standing pillars of support to the welfare of the rising generation and also an indispensible factor to stem them over the tide of this social and economic disturbance. "In company with the M.O.H., 1 again made a sanitary survey of schools, premises, etc., and found them in general in satisfactory conâ€" ditions. A larger proportion have modern facilities and those who still have older arrangementg are conâ€" ducting them such as to fulfil the requirements. While this may apâ€" pear to be an annual routine of duties of a similar nature, the reâ€" sults are noticeable and a continuâ€" ation of these duties are in order, as with these endeavors, measures are introduced to prevent the conâ€" tact or invasion of offending matter, ivrespective of their nature, or virulence, and also to build up a strong and resisting power to deâ€" fend such attacks. Nine Typhoid Cases. "However, during the last few months I have had reports of tyâ€" phoid and paratyphoid in several and different locations in five difâ€" ferent families, with nine cases. I also had one case of infantile paralâ€" ysis. This latter place was quaranâ€" tined and subsequently disinfected according to regulations. In the typhoid cases every endeavor was made to trace the source of infecâ€" tion. In some of these we found drinking water to be contamingted and impure. The M.O.H. will no doubt give more details about this in his report. â€" â€" _ "I have again the pleagure of submitting for your approbation a report for the year of tge activities required under this af:pointment.
