Is Not 'Dying Out The Canadian TB Association has reported that 30 new TB patients, mostly teenagers, have been admitted to a sanatorium, and 180 school children have been found to be recent con- verters to the tuberculin test; while previously they were ne- gative, they are now positive. Apparently some people feel the high school should be burn- ed down. The reason for this panic is an outbreak of tuber- culosis in a high school in Nova Scotia. This epidemit is the sort of thing which is invited by as- suming that tuberculosis is "dy- ing out." It does not die out-- It has to be pushed -- and the push must be kept up by health authorities and voluntary TB Associations across Canada. Apparently it is hard for people to keep within their con- scious thoughts the sad fact that microbes don't change much, It is true that Canadians have a higher standard of living than they did in 1900 -- better nutri- tion and more sanitary living conditions. This is only a par- tial barrier against TB, for while a higher standard of liy- living helps, it does not guar- antee. The lung tissue of the stud- ents in that school is not appre- ciably different from lung tis- sue 100 years ago, or even 500, and the tubercle bacilli which the students cough up are exact THE ~ LAST WEEK ARE STILL IN EFFECT.

Teenagers, and particularly girls, have always been an ex- traordinarily vulnerable group. Once infected (authorities have warned often enough) they have a sobering breakdown rate. There have been hetween 20 and 25 of these outbreaks in Canada since 1960. As official health authorities moved in to uncover the source of infection, in the majority of cases, the source was found among those who had not attended a mass survey held in the community within the last two years. Due to the fact that mass sur- veys are now being considered too costly to conduct--except in high incidence areas--the role of the monthly chest clinics will be even greater. In Ont- ario County, these clinics are conducted in Port Perry, Ux- bridge, Cannington, Beaverton, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pick- ering, with the cost of the X- rays being borne by the Ontario County TB and Health Associa- tion, with the monies derived from the Christmas Seal Cam- paign -- this being its only in- come. .
