Clinic Boon To Whole Community Chairman Declares "More than 20,000 residents of Oshawa and district have received chest X-ray examinations during the current cam- palgn to combat Tuberculosis," A. E. "Ted" Johnson, general chairman of this great crusade, told The Times-Gazette this morning. "It is impossible," he continued, "to over-emphasize how much this has meant in terms of lives saved and ention of the spread of T.B. throughout this community." "Have any cases of Tuberculosis been found locally?" he was asked. "Well, of Sou ne informa tion con- cerning the s in all cases are ¥spe attierly confidential and pri- vate, but it may be said that the examinations have revealed a num- .ber of incipient cases of T.B." "What is being done about these?" "I am very glad to say that, so ! far as we know, these cases have | been discovered in time to be treat~ ed successfully; it just goes to show y how important it is to make tifese Xrays so that those found with T.

"Yes, it does; but there is another : Mr, Johnson pointed "Wi ald of X-ray ex- amirftions and modern scientific | treathent, it is now possible to dis- | covet T.B, in its early stages and effect cures. But to make these preventive and curative measures Sfissiive organization on a big scale necessary. . "That is why the Ontario Tuber- . culosis Association was formed in 'this province, just as similar organ- izations were started elsewhere in the Dominion. It was at the re- quest of our own provincial Asso- clation that the Oshawa Kiwanis Club undertook to organize and conduot free chest X-ray clinics ' throughout Oshawa and South On- | tario county", United Effort "How did the local Kiwanians go about this big task?" "In order to finance this vitally important project, our g¢lub mem- bers sponsored the local sale of Christmas Seals, In this way they made it possible for residents 'to inance the local anti-Tuberculosis campaign through purchases of Seals, Money realized through the sale of these symbolic stamps is a used right here to campaign agains} T.B. and protect the life and health of every citizen," "This involves a lot of hard work, no doubt?" "Indeed it does, and local Kiwan- fans have been untiring in their ef- forts to promote the sale of Christ- mas Seals and conduct the various community X-ray clinics. They are more than pleased to devote their time and energy to this great pub- lic health effort, and only ask in return the practical support of their fellow citizens, Every person who buys Christmas Seals is helping the good cause, than which there is . none more important -and worthy today." "How have you been faring in your efforts; have you found the tiezns co-operative?" "We have received splendid co- operation so far, and this has enabled us to achieve much of what we set out to do.

B, Chest X-ray Clinic Committee whose organiza- tional work has resulted in over 20,000 availing themselves of the free examination, fort b; tting in touch with Cyril Soiiche, Be Club president, at the Anglo-Canadian Drug Company --- the telephone number is 770. Give Time Freely Mr. Johnson stated that the Ki- wanians were conducting the can- vass and clinic without any re- muneration whatsoever, their sole reward coming from their sense of satisfaction in carrying out a great community service, In this they are following out their club mot- to, "We Bulld," in a most practical way, contributing as they are the building up the health of any and all citizens threatened by an insid- fous disease, a disease that must be stamped out everywhere if citi- pens at large are to be safeguard- While all local Kiwanians came in for commendation Mr. Johnson for their campaign efforts, he mentioned in particular Pred Bartlett, Christmas Seal Fund treasurer, Reg. Gibson, chairman of clinic activities, Dave Jamieson, airman of the T.B. survey, Evan (8horty) Reynolds, chairman in charge of X-ray appointments, Ev. Disney, chairman in charge of school activities, and Fred Kitch- en, chairman of printing and pub- licity material, Unquestionably, the local Kiwan- is Club has made marvellous pro- gress in this and the previous year's campaign to combat Tuberculosis in this district, but it is still only a Bood start in the work that must be continued in the years to come. The old motto, "Eternal vigilance is the price of safety," applies no- where with more force than in the combating of Tuberculosis, And now with an efficient organization in operation here, ready and able to guard the community against one of mankind's most deadly foes, it is up to every right thinking citizen, old and young, to lend this organ- ization his fullest support. This can be 'done simply and easily by re- membening at this approaching Yuletide Season to "Buy Christmas Seals," and on all malls to "Use Christmas Seals." ------------ _ NEW AIRPORT Sydney, Australia -- (CP) -- Aus- tralia's new £5,000,000 ($16,000,000) combined airport and flying boat base, to be built at Mascot and Bot- any Bay, New South Wales, will have runways of 8,000, 6,200 and 5,600 feet.

Forces With Immorality Washington, Dec, 5 -- (AP) -- Republicans. in the United States Senate today waited a chance to explore charges that immorality, venereal disease, dishonesty and incompetence in the armed forces jeopardize success of the occupa- tion of Germany. The Republicans will have con- trol when the new Congress is or- ganized Jan, 3 and there seemed no doubt of their" determination to investigate the allegations des- pite: 1. A War Department denial that conditions are as bad as des- cribed, 2. President Tri man's state ment. that he does not think an investigation is necessary, Four Republican members of the Senate War Investigating Committee made public, over ob- jection of the six-man Democratic majority, a report by committee counsel George Meader detailing the charges, The report recounted tales of immoral conduct by some of the American occupation troops, un- satisfactory performances by ne- gro soldiers, misconduct by offi- cers, and an expensive influx of Jews and other displaced persons into the United States zone, The War Department contend- ed many allegations made by one of Mr, Meader's principal witnes- ses, Col, Francis P, Miller, were unsupported and based upon "gossip" and "hearsay." The report made these asser- 'ations' 1. Conduct of negro troops "is 10 credit to the negro race ,,, In 1945 the average negro strength was 10 per cent of the theatre strength, Negroes committed 50 per cent of the major crimes, Since last March the venereal rate among negroes ras ranged from 897 to 1,049 (more than one case to a man) for each 1,- 000 troops. 2, "The quality of white troop replacements has been in- ferior.""

Port Colborne Lighthouse Yarn Tops All Burlington, Wis, Dec. 5, --(AP) --A Canadian Paul Bunyan stood straight up today and wanted it to be known the lighthouse tenders at Port Colborne, Ont, were among the heros of the war. These boys, declared Donald Pringle, were responsible for sink- ing a number of submarines and, although their methods were some- what unorthodox, netted results, During the war, said Pringle, it became obvious that the submar- ine menace couldn't be coped with by ordinary means "so we found a new use for the Port Colborne lighthouse--we inverted it and used it as a flashlight to hunt subs." Pringle's tale was released by O. C. Hulett, president of the Burling ton Liars' Club, who said it was "a sample of the current crop of lies" and a "gem of prevarication," M.P.P.

He suffered a black eye and fac- ial cuts and was away from work four days. - Cross-examified, he sald there had been a disturbance at a party at his father's home earlier in the day. "Did you take some part in it?" "Yes," said Selling. "All T did was to tell Mr. Meinzinger to get out, that he wasn't welcome at the house." "My client told me what had hap- pened but I advised him in law he had no legal justification for what he did," defence counsel told the court, "I think my client has had | sufficient punishment now by 'the publicity given to this unfortun- ate affair" "This case rates the same as any other assault case," sald Magistrate H. Polson, "I'm not interested in publicity, There will be a fine of $25 and costs." ---------------- LARGEST ISLANDS The world's ten largest islands are Greenland, New Guinea, Borneo, Madagascar, Baffin, Sumatra, Great Britain, Honshu, Victoria and Elles- mere, Walloping Ottawa, Dec, 5--(OP) -- If it be true that children's Christmas- morning faces are the most impor- tant item of the big day, this ought to be the merriest Christmas in years, For the bravest array of toys since 1941 is ready to make the younger generation's eyes pop this Dec, 25, a Prices Board survey of the toy shops shows.

(Article No. 9) The Board of Education has published numerous reasons why the people of our City should give serious thought to the Public School problems. indeed serious and can only be solved by additional This article will draw attention to the situation whieh exists in our Secondary School. We have a well equipped High School, bullt to ac- commodate one thousand students, and capable of supplying all the educational demands of the High School curriculum. Today the Secondary School en- rolment is over 1,600 students, overcrowding and students are not being given the educational opportunities desired by parents. been effected by a two-shift system, which works only because teachers, students and parents co-operate to But if it continues, parents will grow tired of hav- ing their children attending school at inconvenient hours; teachers will realize that they are trying to teach under unsatisfactory conditions; find their academic and vocational advancement A business man when he finds his buildings too small does something about it.

Citizens in considering this question should keep The enrolment of our Secondary School is Increasing every year. Teachers cannot give individual atten- tion to pupils in overcrowded schools, BExperts agree that the best learning periods of the day fall between the hours of 9:00 a.m, and 4:00 p.m. A new school will eliminate many par ental problems and improve the educa- tion of their children. Citizens of a City whose. motto is Null Secundus (Second to None) surely wish to supply their children with the best opportunities for their educational ad- vancement that can possibly be obtained. And now for the problem of costs. A new Secondary School will probably cost around $800,000.00 to $900,- 000.00. Part of the cost (from 20 to 50 per cent. under the present scale of government grants) will be sup- plied by the Department of Education. present time building costs are high, interest rates are the lowest in history. But the training of the young women and young men of our City is the most import- ant investment of the future, .
