Id . 5 Bond -- E DAILY TIMES-GAZ Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle O"HAWA nd WHITBY VOL. 9--No. 29 OSHAWA-WHITBY, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1950 PAGE THREE T.B. Cases Can Be Cut By One-Half "The incidence of tuberculosis can be cut in half in the next ten years, provided the program of community mass X-Ray surveys is extended to all sections of the province", said Dr, G. C. Brink, Di- rector of the Division of Tubercu- losis Prevention, Ontario Depart- ment of Health, While the death rate from tuberculosis since 1931 has been cut by two-thirds to 26.8 per 100,000 people, more intensiified efforts are needed to reduce it still further Dr. Brink stated that the pres- ent survey in Oshawa and sur- rounding district will make a val- uable contribution to the public health of the community by dis- covering unknown cases of tuber- culosis and removing the sources of infection. He believes that every citizen will support the organiza- tions sponsoring the survey by availing . themselves of the oppor- tunity to receive a free X-Ray of their lungs. ; In order to make community surveys possible, the Ontaria De- partment of Health is supplying the X-Ray equipment and trained personnel, as well as assuming a portion of the overall cost. Large community mass Surveys have already been conducted in a number of Ontario centres and the response of the' public has been most satisfactory--over ninety per- cent of the residents in some lo- calities being examined. The discovery of many unknown cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and the fact that over fifty per- cent of the active cases requiring treatment were found in the early stages proved the value of such surveys. In addition, a consider- able number of important non-tu- berculous chest conditions were fcund. Dr. Brink pointed out that many unrecognized cases of tuberculosis are infectioug and not conscious of being ill. The insidious onset of the disease in the early stages with an absence of symptoms in eighty per cent of such cases gives no in- dication of its presence. It is an accepted fast fhan an X-Ray film of the lungs is+the best method of dis- Tuberculosis is one of the most curable diseases if found early and treatment in a sanatorium start- ed at once. Not only does the pa- tient stand an excellent chance of recovery, he emphasized, but his friends and close associates are protected from the danger of in- fection. Better Bus Service for City Asked Buses and more buses! City Coun- cil, which met last night was all wound up in 'them when it learned that the Ostawa Street Railway Company was meeting this morning with the General Purpose Committee to discuss alteration of some of tle bus routes. : Alderman Cephas Gay, Chairman of the committee, was target for most of the remarks since he will head the city's delegation to the meeting. "You be sure to tell the company that it's about time they got some more buses." Alderman Clifford Harman yelled, "I don't know how they get away with it but their service is terrible. Why, at the rush hour they herd workers onto the buses just like cattle. 'Get back there, get back .there,' they shout." Then Alderman William Duncan brought up another aspect. He suggested that the company be urged to build a central depot somewhere downtown so that the four corners could be kept clear of buses park- ing there to pick up passengers. "People driving by and possibly looking for a certain kind of store can't even see 'the sidewalks let alone the buildings," he said. Alderman Clifford Harman thought another almost forgotten suggestion could be aired at the meeting. At one time, he reminded members, it was proposed that the city assess the bus firm $150 an- nually for each bus which took up parking meter space. Finally council agreed that the city was still interested in buying the bus franchise. "That should help me get some concessions," said Mr. Gay with a smile. : CAUGHT OFF BASE Epping, Essex, England -- (CP) -- A policeman heard noises coming from a side road.

For the first time in its history smoking will be permitted in the theatre. This privilege will, how- ever, be confined to 200 loge seat patrons who occupy the last eight rows at the rear of the theatre. In order to make smoking 'pos- sible a sizeable addition was made tJ the air conditioning system with additional duct work being installed in the ceiling through which ex- haust fans will draw the smoke from the rear of the building and discharge it outside. The new air conditioning will not interfere with the delicate balance of the present conditioning system and the new exhaust fans will not have any effect upon the remainder orf the auditorium. While' patrons at the rear will be able to smoke none of the smoke will go to other parts of the audience. . Manager Al. Hartshorn said the installation was made due to the fact that so many patrons have been smoking surreptiously in. the pest, and that the modern trend is to smoking in theatres.

It has long been known and long been dis- cussed, this matter of the bridge. It has been well known that there was a "bottle-neck" on King Street. City Council has tossed this moot question back and forth; it has been well known that the only logic- al way to relieve this congestion, particularly from the stadium and the arena, annd the brewers' ware- house, was to re-build this bridge. Last night's motion authorized the loard of Works to go ahead with plans for construction. There were Ino dissenting membsars of council . All seemed to realize that the job was necessary and all seem- ed to want it to take effect. Board of Works Chairman Alder- man Frank McCallum told members of council] that the project would probably cost $30,000. This would six feet of a walk on each side. The over-all construction job would be of congrete. An effort will be made to build on the piers which are now there. City Engineer Wesley Demp- sey was non-committal on specifics; he would, he said, have more de- tailed plans for consideration of council at a future meeting.
