We !note that there's -nethtn , doing- at the
+oanent in regard to the proposed central school
for Uaborne township. The area hoard is probably
wise to avoiding .any formal a,:tion on the prcr7r'r t
for the time being to allow ratepayers to discuss.
it among .themselves.
The board chairman. Harry Dougall, in,
dica;tes.further discussion will probably tale place
toward the end of the years -nomination time, no
dou}t.
That's probably as good a time as any to
contaue discussions, since the ratepayers should
be giving their municipal business some serious
consideration then. It, would be unfortunate, how-
ever,. to get the central school issue mixed up with
Council and school board elections to the extent
that the=, project dominates the nomination and,.
perhaps", t oti.ng.
Municipal officials have said now for ser era!
years that the central school in l'shorne is corning.
That seems to be ,generally agreed. The question,
it appears, is when,
It would be wise, we think, if .council and
school board sat down together to discuss general
ly what year, if not the coming one, would be
most suitable to launch the project if, indeed, there
?s rnuclh difference as to when it should come.
They miht consider what real advantage, if any,
there is r delaying the project, particularly hi the
light of. long-range financial budgeting. It is easy
enough --for political purposes ---to pick out seine
real or imaginary project imminent to use as an
excuse' 'to delay it ane more year, then another
and another.
Surely, however, it is not good leadership
or• ethical political practice to keep postponing an
essential community service in order to avoid con-
troversy or risk one's personal seat in political
office.
If the officials present sound reasons, back-
ed up by facts and figures, to the ratepayers for
whatever decision they favor, either individually,
or collectively, they might well avoid a politica
hassle in which some persons will be hurt. Usborne
township, which has a reputation for good manage.
anent and sound thinking, has the right to expect
this kind of leadership.
UN police force
Dependence on a United Nations police
force as a method to achieve disarmament and
peace is unrealistic, says The United Church Ob-
server, in a current issue editorial headed, "Why
We Can't Rely en a United Nations Police Force,"
Support for a great UN police force sug-
gests pleasant and perhaps questionable dreams
for the future, but not wide-awake thinking for the
present, the United Church journal asserts edi o
ially.
The journal comments that a number of
church committees have proposed that the,Canadian
...government should cut its expenditures on national
defence. "he pin osalits h fors on a Canada to disarolice m force.

eed understanding
;the Ee0a Memorial Tuberculosis Associa-
than of b,ontion and Middlesex is making a strong
appeal for help in the field of TB preventio
The association requests assistance, notin-
money, but in understanding and in influence.
."iN e need your help, in correcting the misunder-
standing the public is acquiring about the need
for TB prevention work, the association says.
What is the misunderstanding? Too many
people think that TB, as a threat, is beaten or at
least almost beaten and that, therefore, we can
afford to relax in our prevention work.
Ther facts, however, are these: natoria
(1) The decrease in beds in Sa
is
due to the increase in turnover which permits each
bed to be used for more patients in each year.
This is because, (a) The new drugs permit
patients to be cured more quickly. (b) Good pre-
ventive wore, catches the cases in. earlier stages
so that they can be cured more quickly.
(2) !While the death rate for TB has gone
down substantially, the number of •new admissions
to Sanatoria has not gone down very much, This
means that there is still a great deal of infection
about, and that many people are still getting TB.
(3) The new drugs which are being used to
help cure TB have been a wonderful Help. But
they may not be for too Tonga time! Already there
is a grawing percentage of new TB cases with a
TB bacillus which has acquired immunity to the
new drugs! If the present rategrowth of im-
munity to the new drugs keeps up, we may soon be
back again where we were before!
(4) TB tests in schools show that the num-
ber of children showing positive TB infection
doubles for each two years they spend in schools.
Before school-age -- .children in Ontario„
show infection in only one case per 1000. But in
Grade 12 of one collegiate in London, the last TB
test showed 17 per 1000 with positive infection.
(This does not mean they will all get TB, but some
of them will, and all should have regular tests.)
When students leave high school and get out
into the work -a -day world, the positive infection
rate increases to 30 per thousand at age 29,
There roust still be many sources of TB in-
fection in the community, All this means that the
fight against TB must go on, as strongly as ever.
TB still kills more Canadians than any other
infectious disease.
laterally, or refuse to accept modern weapons, and
put the expected savings in a UN police force, is
tempting to some. It would cut our taxes. It would
symbolize our faith in the future. It would help
help us wash our hands of .dirty business, and
leave to the Americans, the British and others the
task of defending Canada and the free community
of North Atlantic nations," The Observer says.
The editorial concludes: "The conviction of
all Christian people is that war is an evil thing,
and the building of armaments a shameful waste.
Among the goals of Christians are disarmament,
peace' justice and freedom—for our potential
enemies as well as for ourselves."

we were to secure the Elliot

Elliot was wound up several
years before we took posses^ -on

had been offered for sale by

Smiley is too old and weather-

On certain occasions, how-
ever, for a special purpose to
create emphasis, or underline
a remark, I'll admit a modest
"damn" or a feeble "hell". If
this appears in your local
paper, don't blame Smiley for
it. Blame your editor. That's
what he's there for -to pro-
tect your morals. It's up to
him to change the "hells" to
"heoks", t h e "damns" to

a vulgar thought, I'm sorry,
but I just can't help it.
The second charge was more
serious, that of profanity. Is
there profanity in this column?
Well, hell yes, once in a while,
when I can't avoid it, But nor.
