PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

The children of Ontario need protection
from the danger of being fed tubcrcular in
fected milk. Not only there is more danger
here than any other city, for that is not the
case, perhaps there is less, i'm reality, than
can be found in most communities, but the
need exists nevertheless.
For many years students of public
health problems and civic activities have en-
deavored in vain to understand why it is
that governmental agencies will strive
zealOusly to protect the health of cattle,
hogs, sheep and crops, while apparently in
sensible to the problems of health protection
for the human family. Nevertheless this
is a fact.
Just recently the American Red Cross
has instituted a great campaign for the cr-
adication, of tuberculosis, the greatest
scourage Of mankind; not excepting war it
self. That merciful organization has ap-
propriated two and half million dollars 10
be used this year in preventative and ed
ucational methods TO assist i'm stamping out
the disease.
When we read about such a movement,
we all applaud We agree that il should be
done. We are willing, and glad that the
money which we all helped 10 gather is 10 be
used in that way. But how often does il
occur to the average individual that hc or
she could have part in just such work right
here at home2
That is where most of us, "fall down" IL,
our civic duties and in achieving the joy of
service. We always see the work that is 10
be done, in the foreign field, while missing
the job at home.
The great effort of the American Red
Gross and other agencies fighting tuberculo-
sis will fail entirely, or at the best will be
long delayed, unless each community awak-
ems to its own part in the campaign. II
every community would take the necessary
steps to stamp out the disease in its own
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1919-02-20

boundaries would it not soon cease to exist E?
Not the marvellous success Of
the Red Cross war work just manifesto
ton of what the American people can do,
merely the result of the work Of the women
and men in every community.
The same agency given the same wide
spread tho united support can win the anti
tuberculosis fight, and with half the effort.
If those who want to protect the child
ren of Ontario, and the adults as well, from
the danger of this disease will back the City
Council in its proposed milk inspection or
dinance a step will taken in the right dircc-
ton. There will perhaps be no opposition
to such measure, at least there should not,
ON the part of any right minded citizen.
The State of Oregon recognizes the dal,-
ger of disease spreading milk and will test
cows free of charge, thus the matter of eX"
pense to the individual dairyman or person
selling milk from a family COW need not be
considered. Then too no man worthy of the
name wants to sell milk that would endangcr
the healah of his customers children.
The most serious problem to solve is
that of enforcement and this can be dissipat
ed by an active public interest in the matter
But how to arouse the public interest is a
question Few people, apparently, care
much about their health until they are act
ually sick, or some member of their family is
afflicted.
If every citizen would just ask the per-
son from whom milk is received if his cows
were tested, and demand that a certificate be
shown once every six months to substantiatc
the statement that part of the problem
would he solved To save the dairymau
from carrying his certificate about with him,
the Councils ordinance might provide that
twice each year every person selling milk IN
the city appear at the city hall and file with
the Recorder the necessary certificate OF
good health for his cows and receive license
to distribute milk in the city
The city then could arrange with the
state authorities for scmi-annual inspcc
ton of all the cows in the city, and if new
cows were secured between inspections the
city could arrange for their testing at a.
nominal cost TO be paid by the owner.
While the Council already has this mat
ter under advisemcnt, it is of sufficient inn
pOrtance to commend itself to the attention
of the men and women of the city for their
study, and their assistance in bringing about
methods of proper enforcement.
