In November the installation of a stained-glass window added immeasurable to the beauty of the chapel. This was the gener- ous gift of Charles E. Knight in memory of his wife.

There has been at all times a spirit of unselfish serv- ice on the part of the leaders and members of our various boards and groups.

PASTOR'S MESSAGE Mr. Moffat concluded his mes- sage with the words "any Church of Christ must constant- ly bear this fact in mind lest it lose its sense of Divine purpose -- organization must never be allowed to be an. end in itself. All our organizational machin- ery is meaningless if it does not serve the great end of con- fronting men and women with Jesus Christ and extending the frontiers of God's Kingdom. Only in the measure that we give ourselves in earnest pray- er, consecrated service and the surrender of ourselves and| our resources to Jesus Christ will our church move forward toward the fulfilment of God's In the business meeting, which followed the reports, the budget for 1963 was presented by the treasurer, Mr. Hayward Murdoch.

DYMOND M.D. Health Minister for Ontario One of the important methods we have of obtaining informa- tion about the presence of tuberculosis is the tuberculin skin test. This simple, safe test is now widely used to de. termine whether a person might have been infected with the tuberculosis germ at some time in the past. A positive reaction does not mean that actual disease is necessarily present. Fortunate- ately, only a small percentage of infected people do develop: actual tuberculosis. The value of the test is twofold; it enables us to get an idea as to the extent of the tuberculosis problem in the community, and of more im- portance, where to look for the actual disease. UNIVERSAL PROBLEM In the early years of the pres- ent century almost everyone by the time they reached middle lif, had been infected with tuberculosis germs. As late as 1923 approximately 50 per cent of high school students in one representative community show- Licence Sale Brisk Here Sale of passenger plates and drivers' licences have increas- ed two or three per cent over the same period last year, L. Walters superviser at the Osh- awa office of the Ontario De- partment of Transport, said this morning. Total sale of passenger ve- hicle plates last year was 21,400 and the total to date this year is 4,100. Total sales of operators' and chauffeurs' licences last year was 26,650 and the total to date is 7,000. Mr. Walters told The Oshawa Times he expected a decrease in the number of drivers pay- ing into the 'Unsatisfied Judg- ment Fund. He emphasized that Payment into this fund offered no coverage for the driver. The only protection it offered was to the insured driver. Any driver with no insurance causing an accident would automatically have his driver's licence sus- pended and be held responsible for all damages incurred, He said the present staff is capable of handling a greater number of motorists than are being processed now. The best time to obtain plates and li- cences is in February when it will take five to 10 minuets com- pared with one or two hours at a later date. Deadline for passenger plates and drivers' licences is Mar. 13. The deadline for commercial and trailer plates has been ex- tended from Mar. 13 to Mar. 31. FLOODED STOVE A flooding oil stove in a con. struction shack at King and Drew streets called for the at- tention of Oshawa firefighters Wednesday afternoon. The flames were under control within minutes. Damage to the stove and the floor of the shack was estimated at $25, ed the presence of previous tuberculosis infection, as a re- sult of tuberculin skin testing. This illustrates the well-nigh universal extent of the problem at that time. As a result of improved meth. ods of treatment due to the anti- tuberculosis drugs and the ex- tensive search for unsuspected infectious cases carried on by means of a wide variety of special case finding programs, there has been a dramatic drop Tuberculin Test Proves Valuable the age of 14 or 15 years show only 1 per cent who have been infected. At the present time it would appear that approximate- - ly 4 per cent of our youth at this age shows the presence of. . tuberculous infection acquired at some time previously. While in certain areas the percentage is considerably lower than this, *- in others it is higher. RESISTANCE UNDEVELOPED Success is sometimes accom- panied by danger, and this is.. true of our present situation. The fact that such a large per- centage of our population is free of tuberculosis infection " means that they have never developed acquired resistance: as a result of exposure to tuber. . culosis. Consequently they are susceptible to infection. This is especially so in the case of chil. dren and adolescents. The intro. « duction of an unsuspected case of infectious tuberculosis into such a group might well have serious consequences, with an outbreak of tuberculosis of-' epidemic nature. We have seen isolated instances of this, not only in Ontario, but elsewhere in Canada. It is extremely important, therefore, to maintain our con- trol procedures at a high level. A complacent attitude only cre. ates a false sense of security. As your Minister of Health I urge all of our citizens to co-operate whole-heartedy in maintaining our defences against tuberculo- sis by taking an active part in the various preventive pro- grams being carried out in the Province. in the prevalence of tuberculous infection in our population. Many organizations, co-operat- ing with the department of health, are participating in this drive to eliminate tuberculosis.
