Far From Beaten Travelling clinics of the Ontario Department of Health instituting free T.B. tests have accomplished much good in Ontario. As a follow up of the mass X-Ray chest clinics held in Oshawa and other places these traveling clinics held at regular intervals, serve to remind citizens of the danger of this dread disease once it is allowed to gain a foothold.

Church Leader Kept From U.S. Buffalo, N.Y., June 10--(AP) -- A United States immigration offi- cial said Wednesday a Canadian church leader had been prohibited from crossing the korder on his way to a meeting of the World Council of Churches in the Nether- lands. S. J. McDonnell, acting direc- tor of the United States Immigra- tion and Naturalization Service, said Rev. Dr. Harvey George Fors- ter of Welland, Ont., had been em- p-.arily excluded because "his en- try might be deemed prejudicial to AAAS the interests of the United States." McDonnell said Dr. Forster was stopped on a train at Niagara Falls, N.Y, last Friday while he and Mrs. Forster were planning to go to New York City en route to the church meeting in the Netherlands. Dr. Forster is Niagara District Superintendent of All Peoples Mis- sions of the United Churches of Canada. He has served on labor conciliation boards in the area and spoken frequently at Canadian la- bor rallies, Welland sources reported couple left Montreal by plane for London Tuesday night.

Then there is the {act that in 1946, which is Toronto. As usual, the Fair will be open from 9.30 a.m. to 9.00 the latest year for which compldte figures are available, 5,797 Canadians died of the disease, also that at any time there are approximately 30,000 people suffering from the disease. This, says the News, would tend to present a _ gloomy picture--but the story does not end there. For instance, since the organization of the Canadian Tuberculosis Association in 1900, the death rate per 100,000 of population has been cut from 200 to 47.2. Another direction in which there has been great improvement, al- though it is not yet all that is to be desired, is case-finding. Cases found in the early stages are almost certain to be cured if treatment is started at once. In 1900 at least 85 per cent of cases had reached advanced stages prior to discovery. Now, only 35 per cent are in the far advanced stages on admission to sanitorium--40 per cent are in mod- erately advanced stages, and about 25 per cent in the minimal stages when chances of recovery are about 9 in 10. These improvements are paralleled by increased services | provided in large part by official health departments. In 1900 there were only 30 sanitorium beds in Canada--now there are 13,594. There were no clinics for early diagnosis in 1900--today there are more than 100, while mobile X-ray equipment is becoming more and more common through- out the country. One of the most hopeful features in the fight against TB is the interest"of voluntary lay workers | in the field of prevention. Treating Sex Offenders Federal action for the protection of the public against sex offenders has been promised by Justice Minister Isley, and it is possible that at the present session of parliament certain amendments will be made to the Criminal Code. The minister says that while the contemplated government action may not go as far as some would wish, it will at least be an attempt to deal with sex offenders who have been much in the public eye in Toronto and other large centres in recent months. The suggestion was made by a Progressive Conserva- tive member that the Criminal Code be amended to provide that offenders might be sent to provincial mental hospitals or to reformatories for treatment, rather than to prison. This suggestion, in the opinion of many who have made a study of the problem, is one that the government should | seriously consider inasmuch as it is a generally accepted fact that sex offenders are suffering from some mental disorder or that their minds are diseased. It is also con- tended that a term in prison does not effect a cure, because upon release offenders are very liable to repeat their crimes. Whatever action the authorities take: it is to be hoped that it will mark a forward step in dealing with one of the greatest social problems of our time. One can be sure that health authorities, social workers, police officers and others interested will be ready and willing to co-operate. | the United Kingdom. After listen- girl of the West Midlands." Good-looking, red-haired Edith Summerskill, who holds the Food Ministry barricades against | innumerable commons questions, | heard the protests of Midlands' | Members of Parliament about beer | shortages in their area. Capt. John Baird, Labor member for Wolverhampton East and a dentist, said Midland beweries pro- | duced a "tenpenny" beer which now sold for 1s. (20 cents) a glass. Some people called it "Strachey" after Food Minister Strachey and others called it "wallop." F. G. Bowles, Labor, Nuneaton, said beer shortages and quality had caused "a suppressed feeling of disappointment, if not of anger and fury." "If the honorable lady can do away with 'tenpenny' and keep the pubs open she will be the pin-up | girl of the West Midlands," said | H. D. Hughes, Labor, Wolverhamp- | ton West. | Dr. Summerskill gently chided the members for suggesting the beer-drinkers of the Midlands suf- fered any more than others in Dr. | ing to the appeals of the mem- bers she felt that as an occasional drinker of "shandy" (a mixture of beer and ginger beer) she was "an amateur in the presence of professionals." Then came the good news. The Food Ministry proposed to allocate 25,000 additional tons of barley annually for beer-making. This would work out at an increase of 3'2 per cent in' beer supplies in industrial areas. "The day has come when you had the 'tough' publican who was there only to throw the drunks out. Some of our best public houses in these days are conducted by women who rely on their know- ledge of handling men and not on their capacity to throw them out," she said.

The forum followed addresses be- fore more than 1,000 international credit conference delegates Tues- day by W. H. Baldwin of New York, A. A. Nichoson of New York, assis- tant to the Vice-President of the Texas Company. The department store and wear- ing apparel group forum was held under the chairmanship of W. E. Ryan, general credit manager* of Broadway Department Stores, Inc., Los Angeles, Calif. Delegates said collection percen- tage of 'outstanding accounts has shown a tendency to decline in recent months. They also said credit. customers now constitute about 50 per cent of those who patronize larger establishments in Canada and the United States. An imprompty poll of delegates indicated that charge acounts col- lected on the day they fall due now average between 50 and 60 per cent. Delegates said this is in- dicative of a healthy return to more normal levels. The increased trend of credit sales has been evident since the lifting of controls which discour- aged this form of purchase during the war years and immediate post- war era, and now was gaining more and more adherents in the ranks of retail customers.
