THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1928 "hamber ( Commerce Members Discuss Civic Development Representative--JAMES HOLDEN Phone, House 15---Office 434 "PREVENTION OF DISEASE" SUBJECT OF A FINE ADDRESS Dr. G. L. Macdougall Speaks to Whitby Home and School Club (By Staff Reporter) "The Prevention of Disease" was the subject of a highly inter- esting and instructive address de- livered by Dr. G, L. Macdougall at the regular meeting of the Dundas Street Home and School Club held Tuesday evening in the sihool, Tn his address Dr Macdougal paid tri- bute to many pioneers in medical skill and science who had revealed to the world methods whereby deadly diseases on the altar of ser- vice had made great sacrifices for mankind and whose names would ever be remembered as public ben- efactors, The doctor also dwelt at some length on the progress made along many avenues of medical sci- ence in more recent years, and the attention paid not only by private physicians but by municipal health organizations to the question of prevention as well as cure. The Use of Anti-Toxin Dr. Macdougall touched briefly on the history of some of the bet- ter known distases of mankind and the steps taken fo combat them, stressing, too, the success that had attended many efforts along these lines, Taking the disease of diph- theria, the speaker pointed out that while years ago deaths used to number one out of every two, they were now about one out of 200. The discovery and free use of anti-toxin had proved a wonderful preventive, and today it was re- garded as a great asset to commu- nities by civic health organiza- tions, While the use of anti-toxin in most cases only rendered a child immune for three weeks, in recent years toxoid had heen discovered whieh had proven a preventive for life. In fact, it could be relied np- on as a preventive measure for a whole community provided that every child received it, It was largely used today in Oshawa and Toronto, while in some States in the American Union its was compulsory. Fighting Typhoid Fever Dealing with typhoid fever which ifn past years had taken a heavy toll of victims, Dr. Macdougall sta- ted that this disease had been much diminished by the introdue- tion of hygienic methods. The germs of this disease were more often found in drinking water where other typhoid: germs found a lodging place. Thanks to the In- troduction of filters and chlorine it was now possible to purify -the drinking water supply of any mu- nicipality, and, consequently, pre- vent the buthreak and spread of typhoid fever. In he South Af- rican war, said Dr. Macdougall, this disease took more lives than did the enemy, while in the great war of 1914-1918 the disease was hardly known. The disease of small pox was also one which was formerly dreaded and took a heavy toll of life but which today, ow- fng to more modern methods of prevention and cure, was not look- ed upon as being very serious. There were, of course, several viru- lent types of the disease. Hopeful of Cancer Cure Among other diseases touched on' was that of cancer, and Dr. Macdougall held out high hopes of | a sure cure being discovered. Medi- | cal men were exerting many ef- forts along this line and he heliev- ed that in the end success would be forthcoming. There was also the disease of diabetes for which . a partial cure had heen found, hut which, unfortunately, was more in | evidence perhaps than ever before, | taking away many men of middle age. Infant mortality had been greatly reduced in recent years but there was need for a reduction in use {$14.14 for the plaintiff. | other { Clarke the number of men and women passing out at an age when, under ordinary circumstances, they should | be good for many years. Dr. Macdougall commended the | work of the Social Hygiene Council | in the cities, and particularly in fighting venereal diseases. At the close of his address Dr Macdougall was tendered a hearty vote of thanks, and after the ladies | had served refreshments the meet- | ing was. closed.

Lloyd Delivers a Fine Address in Whitby United Church (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar. 2, -- The varied role the Christian missionary must play in heathen lands as preacher, teacher, craftsman and doctor was clearly illustrated in an excellent lantern slide lecture presented by Rev. J. A. Lloyd, on furlough from the United Church field in Portuguese West Africa, at the United Chureh last night. Rev. Lloyd proved conclusively that the gospel was doing much fo trans- form life among the tribes of this section of the dark continent. His pictures showed that not only were the natives learning to be Christians but to also apply that useful knowledge which makes for eomfort in civilized countries. The speaker stated that the col- ored people inhabiting Portu- guese West Africa were very poor; each man being required hy government to spend one month a year in road building and three months' labor in vice without pay as head tax. Or- iginally when forty years ago the Canadian Congregational church first established a mission there entrance into the interior could only be made by a journey on foot requiring six weeks, whereas now one may trav- el the same route by railway in hours. However, he pointed out that to reach ricts apart from the railways sportation had to he made by ox-cart or na- tive conveyances, Rev. Lloyd stated that the first missionaries in this territory found a spoken language and im- mediately altempted to convey the word meanings in writing, making translations of certain gospels to the language of the country, The speaker commend- ed the work of the British and Foreign Bible Society in this re- gard as the organization printed free of charge a number of gos- pels in the native tongue gave them to the missionaries to dis- tribute. One remarkable feature of the work in this field impressed by the lecturer, was the eagerness of the people for knowledge witnessed by the faet that all the mission schools were greatly ov- ercrowded and chiefs of many vil- lages requested evangelists and teachers to come In the gchools them- the Bible was taught while the scholaigs also learned to read, write and calculate and to follow such voeations carpentry, tail- and farming. Those who wished to he evangelists or ers received further a separate f(rairpng school. this work must be supervised the missionary who also must as physician in a region where be® found for dreds of miles. Rev, Lloyd ad- mitted that he had given no less than 100 anaesthetics during his stay in Africa while within a year he had drawn more than 160 teeth. The speaker praised the loyalty of 'the native church which he said was modelled in government after the Congreational church. The members themselves who was to be admitted into mem- bership and refused to baptize any addicted to the use of tobae- co. Now, he claimed, the church is produeing many and evangelists ing into remote regions and en- during hardships to bring the mes- sage of Christianity to their fellow tribesmen. Rey.

J. BURNS WRITES Southern Pines Ideal Spot For Winter Holiday, His Opinion TELLS OF COST Confidential Information of Interest to Oshawa Friends Hankering for Trip South Southern Pines, N.C., February 27, 1928. To the Editor, The Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir:- . I arrived here about the middle of February, the month which practically closes the winter season in North Carolina. The winter season in the Carolinas, Georgia and Northern Florida, while often distinguished by an absence of snow, has temperatures which are cold enough for earlaps and steady fires. The happy circumstance in the making of temperature in this section of the continent is the deep soil of what is pragically ocean sand, extending from and beyond Washington clear down to the toe of Florida, along the At- lantie Coast and inland many nriles. No water lies on the surface of this soil except in deep depressions, and frost has but a transient ac- quaintance with it. Consequently when spring comes it comes over- night, the warm southern sun and the dry sands joining to work one of nature's miracles. The time to enter this of sandhills is about March 1st, and the tourist usually finds it very, very vitalizing and enjoyable until about May 1st when the heat usually drives such visitors north again. I have spent parts of four winters here and while not en the voters' list feel myself almost a permanent resident. Believe me, the property holders of these tour- ist towns in-the south pay their northern visitors all the deference and attention to which good cus- tomers may rightfully lay claim. The countryside on the way down is remarkably well wooded with third and more modern growths even, for this is an old settled country. Tree roots seem to find moisture here in this soil where grasses and other surface plant life suffer and struggle. customed to luxuriant verdure the north the tourist feels sed at the sight of the dry. ing tufts of grass which everywhere on the sandy soil An antidote is ever at hand, however, in the magnificence of the towering pine trees, the heauty of country in depres- starv- show scapes, and the welcoming arms of warm sunny southern skies The visitor to the south to be impressed with the lack of the usual balance. between youth and age in the numbers of people met with. The young people and people in the thirties and some- what beyond do not come south in numbers, the middle aged and old people filling the ears 'and road trains which roll south by the hundreds in the season of winter, However, don't get the impression the tourist resorts bear a funeral aspect. Numerous gay young sparks in sporting togs, »d not more than «© seventy years and swinging a saucy golf stick enliven the scores of links all through the southland. A holiday at last af- ter a life of effort and strain, and they certainly lay themselves out to enjoy it. How does a holiday in this see- tion affect the pocket?
