THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1951 THE DAICY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVENTEEN LJ Vigorous Health Program Hits Disease Among Indians Ottawa, Jan. 17--(CP) -- The white man's diseases still are tak- ing a heavy toll among descendants of Canada's original Indian settlers. The Federal health department's annual report shows that some progress is being made in combat- ting tuberculosis among the Indians, but the death rate still is high. The death rate from tubercu- losis in the white population was 32.4 per 100,000 of popula- tion in 1943. Among the In- dians it was 480.1. In 1947, the Indian rate was 549.8. "Preliminary figures indicate that the decline between 1948 and 1949 will be in the order of 30 per cent --tangible evidence that strenuous case finding and expanding treat- ment facilities are producing striking results," said the report. "Ten years ago, about 100 Indians were under active treatment for tuberculosis. In January, 1950, there were 2,248. There is still much to be done, but vigorous health edu- cation and a raised standard of living are expected to smooth the way. "Authorities see nothing to indi- cate that the Indian and Eskimo are not as sturdy as any other stock, But there is reason to be- lieve that a changing way of life, without accompanying apprecia- tion of good health habits, can re- sult in high morbidity." The report told of various steps taken to extend and improve hos- pital and medica] treatment for In- dians and Eskimos. "Whereas 10 years hgo, the de- parture of an Indian to a Sanator- ium was accepted as a death sen- tence, in the past fiscal year more than 2,000 have been discharged from treatment with the disease under control," said the report. Tudhope Trophy Incentive To Young Flyers At the forthcoming annual meet- ing of the Royal Canadian Flying Club's Association in Ottawa on January: 23rd and 24th the first winner of the W. F. Tudhope Me- morial Trophy will be announced and will receive presentation of this award. : This new aviation trophy is pre- sented by Major J. H. Tudhope, presently Civil Aviation and Com- munications Attache at Canada House in London, England and for- merly associated. with both the ivil Aviation Division of the De- partment of Transport and Trans- Canada AirsLines in this country. The challenge trophy is in memory of his son Pilot Officer William Frank Tudhope, DFC, of the Roy- al Air Force who was killed in the Battle of Britain and whose name is among those appearing on the Aircrew Honour Roll in the RAF. Memorial Chapel at Westminster | L] Abbey, Major Tudhope of course is very well known in Canadian Aviation circles and in 1930 won the McKee (Trans-Canada) Trophy for the year's most outstanding contribution to the development of flying in Canada. In creating this award Major Tudhope's 'aim was to offer en- couragement and incentive to youthful pilots and one of the con- ditions of eligibility is that the candidate must have been granted a private pilot's license in the 15- month period prior to the compe- tition date which is December 10th each year and be under 19 years of age at the time of qualification for license. Candidates must also have strictly observed all Air Regula=- tions and 'rules pertaining to safety in flight. The competition is open only to members of flying clubs belonging to the Royal Canadian Flying Clubs Association and is an en- couragement to the most youthful of those to excel in pilot knowl- edge and skill. The trophy is a beautiful, ornate sterling silver cup mounted on an ebony base and standing approxi- mately thirty inches in height. THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW By Al Fagaly and Harry Shorten CMON!

No grain company has a sign on the eleyator because Farmer Coop- er owns it. It was built by his fa- ther, I. W. Cooper, who died in 1939. The idea was to save a lot of hand-shovelling in and out of storage bins. The building is about half the size of a grain-company country elevator, It holds about 14,000 bushels. a Mr. Cooper says his father ran a commercial elevator before he turned farmer, and he thinks senti- ment had something to do with construction of the private elevator on the farm. But he says he considers it the best building on the property.

When the Anti-Tuberculosis League of Montreal, with the co- operation of Canadian Industries Ltd., conducted a free x-ray clinic, the walls of the clinic hall were adorned with studies in natural history. The studies were radio- graphic explorations into the realm of nature--flowers, birds and beasts as seen by the x-ray.

Now, in scores of nurseries across North America in its chillier zones, Poin- settias are grown in their tens of thousands for Yuletide decoration. How did the Poinsettia develop those gloriously-colored bracts to compensate for inconspicuous flow- ers? Mexico has a lovely legend to explain them. One Christmas Eve outside a cathedral, .a ragged little girl watched rich folk entering and placing lavish gifts beside the altar. She had no gift to offer, but tim idly, gathered some plain green weeds. At the altar, as she placed the weeds there, a miracle hap- pened. Suddenly, they were adorned with their scarlet bracts, and all sang jubilantly to celebrate the firacle. . In Mexico, they call the Poin- settia, "Flower of the Blessed Night." The Persian Gulf, with an area of 75,000 square miles, has an average depth of only 25 fathoms. Z NEED A NEW FURNACE?
