Municipal authorities are hopeful that a long-awaited sewage service for the village, due for completion this fall, will alleviate the problem. to a- head only a few weeks ago after evidence of human sewage in the ditch was reported. The problem was furtiier aggravated because the contents of the ditch flow into the Jock River which in turn empties into the Ri-deau River upstream from Ottawa beaches.

Tests by the Ottawa-Carle-ton regional health unit have pinpointed one house in Richmond using a sewage system which allows raw human waste to enter an open ditch. Officials declined Tuesday to identify the house, but the dwelling, is believed to be on McBean Street.

Following public outcries after it was proved that the ditch was carrying raw sewage through the village, tests were made out by the health unit late week. Powerful dye was introduced to the sanitary systems of several homes bordering the polluted creek.

Had their sewage disposal units been working properly, no dye would have entered the creek. Over the weekend, residents reported seeing vivid yellows and greens as the dye poured into the waterway. The source was traced to the house and orders apparently followed to rectify the problem.

The baby girl, then 22 old, was taken from the hospital by her mother, Mrs. Antonius DeWaai, a Jehovah's Witness, after doctors said the child needed a blood transfusion to prevent death or permanent brain damage. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible forbids blood transfusions. Dr. D.

G. Delahaye said the baby "could be dead, entirely well, or in danger of permanent brain damage," but that there is "a good chance it is dead." lie said that Glen How, the Toronto lawyer who reported on the baby's condition, does not have the medical training "to offer an opinion in this case."

The Ontario Housing Corporation has been requested by Nepean Township Council to conduct a survey of the need and demand for senior citizen housing in the area. The study will begin soon. If the need for some form of senior citizen housing is proven, it will probably be an apartment building. One-storey units that do not require stairways are also under consideration. The apartments would have a living room, bedroom, bathroom and equipped kitchen and rents would be geared to income.
