MINES REPORTED AsS VERY ACTIVE IN ABITIBI AREA _ _ Car drivers cannot be too careful. The fact that certain car drivers were careful avoided serious accidents during the past week. No less tham four young boys were hit by cars in the last seven or eight days. None of them were hurt to any extent. but this was due to the careful style of drxving of those in charge of the cars. Youngsters and parents alike should also seek to avoid accidents by watching traffic and not running in front of passing motors. A man was hit the other day at a street intersection ,the truck driver failing to. stop at a stop sign and thus giving the pedestrian no chance. CAREFULNESS NECESSARY TO AVOID CAR ACCIDENTsS "The large degree of success which has been attained in the State of New YÂ¥ork in the promotion of state and county tuberculcsis hospitals, clinics, and public health nursing, as well as in other measures for the control of tuberculosis, has been largely due to informing and convincing other organâ€" i@tions of the soundness and importâ€" ance to them. as individuals and as groups, of the control of tuberculosis." "Appropriations for these agencies," said Mr. Folks, "such as sanatcria, hospitals, clinics, public health nurses, open air classes for schools, are justiâ€" fied a hundredâ€"fold by definite savings through the reduction of illness and premature death, but these grants will not be made unless fiscal authorities feel sure their constituents desire and approve these expenditures." "Effective campaigns against tuberâ€" culosis require the establishment of exâ€" pensive public activitiese which cannot be successfully maintained without popular support," stated Homer Folks, secretary of the State Charitiee Aid Association, New York. Government regulation of dust hazâ€" ards, the education of all employers on the subject, was urged by Dr. Henry K. Pancoast, and Dr. Eugene P. Penderâ€" grass,, of the University of Pennsylâ€" vania, Philadelphia. Dr. R. R. Sayers, chief surgeon, U.S. Bureau of Mines, Washingtcn, emphasized the importâ€" ance of cbtaining an accurate occupaâ€" tional history in connection with phyâ€" sical examinations in industry which should state the precise job of the inâ€" dividual at the time of examination and contain a detailed record of his previous occupations and the perio¢ spent in each. "Silicosis is relatively common," saic Dr. Riddell. "It may play an importâ€" ant role in the general spread of tuberâ€" culosis. This possible source of infecâ€" tion has not received the attention it merits, as it is too often not considered infectious. But we have found on inâ€" vestigation as great an amount of inâ€" fection among the wives and children of silicotics as was disclosed among those in contact with ordinary tuberâ€" culosis." That this disease is widespread throughout industrial populations was pointed out by Dr. Leroy U. Gardner, _of the Saranac Laboratory, Saranac ! Lake, N.Y. "A deluge of damage suits,"* said Dr. Gardner, "emphasizes the imâ€" portance of silicosis. Many of these cases pending in the courts are frauduâ€" lent. When ituberculosis complicates silicosis the combination of the two conditions constitutes a new disease entity, different from either alone." Dr. Gardner said the disease first maniâ€" fests itself years after exposure to dust has ceased. The only effective treatment, said Dr. A. R. Riddell, of the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Health, Toronto, is removal from exposure, a course which in most instances, means the discontinuance of. cecupation on the part of the indiviâ€" dual. Prof. 8. Lyle Cummins, of Cardiff, Wales, led the discussion, placing emâ€" phasis on the economic importance of the subject due to necessity of awardâ€" ing compensation for disabilitiee proâ€" duced in industry. This has led, he stated, to intensive study of silicosis and its complications which has been impeded by inadequate definitions basâ€" ed on legal conveniences rather than scientific knowledge. _ _ Anything in regard to silicosis is naâ€" turally of more than passing interest to all mining centres and so of imâ€" portance to Timmins and district, though silicosis has not made as much inroad here as in some other mining Aareas. At the twentyâ€"ninth annual meeting of the National Tuberculosis Association held at Toronto last week, silicosis came in for some special atâ€" tention. Eminent scientists from Canâ€" ada, Great Britain and the United States participated in a symposium on silicosis at the meeting. According to despatches from Toronto silicosis was referred to as a condition found among miners and others working in hard rock, the disease setting up processes particularly favourable to the developâ€" ment of tuberculosis.

Fairlie said the ramp was slippery, possibly from oil which had leaked from the car in trial efforts and Tessier swore that, in his judgment, both inâ€" cline and ground were not sufficiently dry to make the jump when Chaput Fairlie testified that Chaput had said he figured he could raise enough out _of the first two gates to buy the maâ€" chine. The evidence disclosed that, according to contract, Chaput, Fairlie and the New Liskeard fire department were ‘to split the proceeds of the two acts three ways, but that the firemenl assumed no responsibility for Chaput‘s| act, beyond paying the cost of erect,ingI the platform, up to $20, and of providâ€" ing ticket sellers. The ramp had been erected in front of the grand stand and 10 feet out from that structure, by Joseph Tessier, with Chaput supervising and assisting, Tesâ€" sier swore, and although Chaput had expressed the after it was finishâ€" ed, that the incline should be two» feet farther out and the firemen and Tessier offered to move it, he decided he would risk its original position. ! bzen loaned to him only:; that nathing had been paid by either manufacturers or agents; that there was no arrangeâ€" ment about buying the machine, but that Chaput had said he would mention the make of the car. Fairlie said his inform/tion from Chaput was that the feat had been done at North Bay some years ago. The father claimed also his son had told him at Rouyn, two weeks ago, when witness said he had warned him azainst making the jump here, that he was doing it for publicity. Oliver Blais swore the 1929 model tcuring car that Chaput was using had a fractured skull. His father, Edward Chaput, of Kirkland Lake, told the Jury his son had pulled off the stunt twice at Swastika in recent weeks, but he was certain he had not attempted it before, although Duncan Fairlie, who was billed for a high diving act on the same programme as Chaput and Oliver Blais, automobile agent at Kirkland Lake, both swore the victim had told them he had carried out the stunt beâ€" fore. Word from New Liskeard this week says that the coroner‘s jury, enquiring into the death of Lorne Chaput, the young man who met death at New Lisâ€" keard beach last Friday, as noted elseâ€" where in this issue, expressed the view that all these dangerous stunts should be discouraged. Dr. J. S. McCullough presided at the inquest, and the verdict brought in was to the effect that the young man was wholly responsible for his own death. The evidence at the inquest told of young Chaput‘s stunt through which he met the fatal injuries that caused his aeath, Riding in an automobile he was to have the car leap from a ramp onto the ground. Instead of negotiating the leap the car apoeared to noseâ€"dive after leaving the platferm built for it.

Howâ€" ever, there is now a chance that the Association may be revived and again become a force for good for the settlers and the country. At the annual meetâ€" ing of the Association held at Kapusâ€" kasing recently, Dr. L. Gagnon, V.Ss., was elected president of the Associaâ€" tion.
