Mrs, A. W. Berry, attend- ing the woodworking classes at the Oshawa Recreation Centre which wound up last night, concentrates on cut- ting out a design in cherry- wood on a band saw, One of the more difficult parts to finishing a wood- working project is the "pol- ishing" of the wood, Here Martin Schippers puts the finishing touches to his highly polished walnut cof- fee table. One of the most unusual methods of making coffee tables in the past couple of years is rapidly gathering favor--that of using mosaic for the top of the table. Walter Rohrer, instructor at the ORC, points out to Roy Jorgenson how the mosaic is laid, The table was made by William Locke. BMA thy What used to be one of the realms of man, has been invaded by woman-- woodworking. Mrs, G, M.

W. L. Jeanes, execu- tive secretary of the Canadian Tuberculosis Association, Thurs- day at a dinner launching the mass survey organized by the Ontario County TB and Health Association. "There has been tremendous success in the treatment of the disease," said Dr, Jeanes, "which has meant that the or- dinary man in the street thinks that there is nothing to worry about." Veterinarians have wiped out the disease among cows -- by shooting them -- but we are dealing with people and must track them down and see that they are brought back to health, he stated. "Diagnosis of TB in 1900 was often a death sentence for the afflicted person -- the mortality rate was over 90 per cent. Since duced and now more than 95 per ease can return to a normal life after treatment," said Dr. Jeanes. "We now cure people in months, rather than fn years," he said, Dr. Jeanes said that wonder drugs had contributed greatly to the partial control of TB al- though a drug resistance strain of the germ has developed. Three or four per cent of new cases are streptomycin-resis- tant, he stated, and 12 per cent of reactivated cases, "No new front-line drugs have been developed for 15 years," he stated, "but the search goes on," Dr, Jeanes cited the "stigma of tuberculosis" as one of the reasons why the battle against the disease still continues, "Peo- ple think that there is some- thing shameful -about the dis- cent of those contracting the dis-) | know that they are infected, "These attitudes must be over- come. The last survey in On- tario County saw 64.5 per cent of the people turn out -- what| about those who were not X-rayed?" he asked. ! 'They are the people we are after, and the more cases we find in the surveys means the more that the work of the volun- teer worker benefits the com- munity."

Magistrate Frank Ebbs said a pre-senterice report will be obtained, The charges were the after- math of a_ wild, 90-mile-per hour police chase early April 2 north on Wilson road south in which a car driven by Lead- better was pursued.
