A SAFE COURTEOUS DRIVER always looks back to see if there is any traffic approaching and then proceeds slowly out into the road. In this way anyone coming from the rear can plainly sec his intentions and there is no possibility of a collision. It‘s beiter to be safe than sorry eepecially when reasonable precaution takes only a moment. Too often, motorists apparently in a hurry pull out from a linc of parked cars without giving a warning of any kind or looking to see if the road is clear. â€" Rather than take a moment to look or signal they trust to luck that the coast is clear.

BONHOMME dfllnz life. ‘The actual statistics from various centres vary but â€" it is now commonly accepted that 90 per cent. of all civilized people are infected with subercule bacilli and in a very large percentage of these the primary lesion can be demonstrated by careful search at autopsy. * On the other hand tuberculosis has newr been demonstrated in a stillâ€" born baby or a baby who dies shortly after birth. On these facts the present pathogenâ€" esis of consumption is based and it may be summed up as follows: (1) Every individual who lives under the ordinary conditions of civilization is infected after birth and at some period between ‘birth and adult life with the tubercle bacillus. (2) Such infection, P 222 n n ns -oooooooooooooooooooooooo.ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouo c LEAN ! There‘s no cleaner way on earth to cook than with an Electric Range. Scouring is out! Blackened curtains and walls go for good. Electric heat permits no soot, no dirt. It saves work every day of the week! It is an established fact that the death rate from tuberculosis is decreasâ€" ing. It has gradually decreased from : first place to sixth place as the cause j of deatti in all the age groups. But ar must remember that tuberculosis is still by far the leading cause of death amongst adolescents and young adults. From invasion by the tubercle bacilâ€" lus which is ubjlquitous there is no escape. Sooner or later everyone is infected and if the primary lesion oc« curs in early life and the dose is masâ€" sive the patient succumbs. If on the cther hand the primary lesion heals and p>rhaps succeding small lesions heal without any manifestation â€"of | diszasm then the individual‘s resisting . power will be gradually raised to a poirt where he will ‘be protected unâ€" der any ordinary circumstances for the rest of his life. | Therefore it is perfectly apparent that the solution of adult tubercuâ€" losis depends almost entirely on the study of tuberculosis in children. It is in the children that we see played the first act of the drama of tuberculosis which may go on to adult tuberculosis uniless the patient dies of some other condition or we are fortunate enough to control it. Bcaricrg all the above points in mind / ;: it can be readily seen that the schools ; _ should be the centre of preventive" Sa' work in tuberculosis. It is not sugâ€" ) gestsd that the schools should be burâ€" : w dened with any more than they have | F“ now on th:ir hands but it is perfectly j | _ obvious that the school is the logical | * point of attack. The question of orâ€" | *\ dinary hygiene is tauzht in all our *« schools and undoubtedly is a factor in ‘ control and also the habit of spitting is a bad one and the question of bad‘ ‘© housing conditions plays an important w fa part in the spread of tuberculosis. Ail ‘ :l: things, however, are secondary to l ts an intelligent tuberculosis survey of your children carried out year by year.! _ attempt to control tuberculosis. It is obvious from the above that we can have very little hops of avoiding conâ€" tact with the tubercle bacillus throughâ€" out life. Therefore our efforts must te directed to controlling the amount of active disease and consequent deaths from this allâ€"invading organâ€" from without and this reâ€"infection is . of necessity this group is outside the commonly preceded by a lowered re-‘spbere of the school. sistance on the part of the individual.| ~(6) All the positive skin tests should With a full understanding of theseibe Xâ€"rayed and reported on by a comâ€" scientific facts we can go ahead in a ; petent radiologist.

A positive test‘ means that the tubercle bacilli have entered the individual‘s body in sufficient numâ€" bers to produg?> a body reaction. This reacticon of course does not mean neâ€" cessarily that the individual nas clinicâ€" al tuberculosis but it shows contact. A negative tuberculin reaction means, roughly speaking, (a) The child has no living tubercle bacilli in the body. This may be dug to the fact that they have not up to date come in contact with, open tuberculosis or on the other hand their primary focus ‘has comâ€" (1) Get the coâ€"operation of either the Medical Health Officer or if he seems indifferent, find some medical man who is vitally interested in chilâ€" dren. (3) Buy your tuberculin in quantiâ€" ties large enough to do your whole group. (5) Do an intracutaneous tuberculin test on each child from the kindergarâ€" ten up to the top forms in the high school. (2) Enlist the services of your school nurse and also district nurses in makâ€" ing the survey. The method I would suggest is as follows: (4) Get the written permission of the parents to have the test done. elements that save money on current.

(7) The Xâ€"ray wm further classify the group of positive reactors. A cerâ€" tain number will be considered healed or the condition is apparently in the process of healing. However, a certain group will show active disease in the Xâ€"ray film and these cases should be referred to one of the tuberculosis clinics of the Ontario Government. The monsy to carry out â€"this survey was raised through the Christmas Seal Fund. This in my opinion is the sound way ts go about tuberculosis prevention work. It is from this foundation that we can build up all our preventive work. Thers is the investigation of families to find» put the source of inâ€" fection. There is the care of children whom the survey shows need particular attention. It is also the soundest meâ€" thod of tracing contacts. And another factor that is very important is its rslatively low cost per child. Before finishing this article, I would like to meption briefly bovine tuberâ€" culosis. Bovine tubercle bacilli have been and still are harmful invaders of the human body,,., Fortunately bovine tubsrculosis is seldom fatal but it is the most common cause of bone, joint and abdominal tuberculosis. However, the remedy for this is at hand in the pasteurization of milk. It is extremely rare to see a case of bone, joint or abâ€" dominal tuberculosis in a community that uses pasteurized milk. Light showers on Saturday and Surâ€" day accounted for .05 of an inch of rain.

Mr. Don Macdonald acted _as best man for the bridegroom. and fairly well attended; It might be a good idea for the Legion to put on one of these bingo nights weekly, sceâ€" ing that all other activities in town ssem to be stopped. At least, we heard this thought expressed by more than one who attended this affair. Tonight (Saturday) this branch of the Legion is holding a "smoker" in the Masonic hall (not Central hotel as previously annciunced). Weddings On Saturday aftéernoon a wedding, conducted by Dr. Fraser took place in the United Church in South Porcupine.
