CHRISTMAS SEALS
CAMPAIGN WILL START
Lions Clubs Handling Campaign
Next Monday, November 21, the
annual Chris tmas Seals Campaign will
Abe launched in Huron County and all
across Canada. The purpose of this
campaign is to sell Christmas Seals
and so raise funds to carry on the
fight against tuberculosis.
In 1948 a total of 4771 persons died
of Tuberculosis in Canada, The death
rate was highest in Quebec at 58.4 for
every 100,000 population. It was low-
est in Ontario at 19.2' for every 100,-
000 population. Over the whole of
Canada it was 37.1 for every 100,000,
In 1947 the rate was 43.4, These
figures indicate that the fight against
tuberculosis is meeting with some suc-
cess The methods being employed
are bringing good results,
In Huron County a mass X-ray
clinic has been .completed over the
whole County. This will be repeated
in 1952 and 1953. Chest X-ray exam-
inations are being done in Winghann,
Goderich and Seaforth—not only re-
ferred cases but also all hospital ad-
missions as well as staff members at
a cost of about $2000, a year. When
active cases are discovered the cure
facilities offered by Beck Memorial
Sanatorium at Byron: are utilized.
During the past year a grant of $10,-
000 has been made opt of Christmas
Seals funds to the building fund of the
Cromline pavilion at Byron. A grant
of $5,100 has been promised the Clin-
ton Hospital for X-rte ,equipment so
that a full X-ray exardihation'peogram
can be carried out there.
Last year the people of Huron con-
tributed $6,222 in the Christmas Seals
campaign, It is hoped that this year,
with a more inclusive mailing list, the
$8000 'mark may be reached. The
Lions Clubs of the County are once
again handling the campaign. The
County Executive includes: James
Kincaid, Goderich; Frank Fingland,
ICC., Clinton; M. A. Reid, Seaforth;
R. Creech and Elmer Bell, Exeter;
J. H, Crawford K.C., Wingham, with
H. D. Heistrop, Goderich . Treasurer;
A. D. Bennett, Wingham, Secretary,
and W. A. Beecroft, Wingham, Chair-
man, This Executive will administer
the Christmas Seals funds in such
ways as to provide for the cure' of all
active tuberculosis cases and to pro-
vide also for a full program of chest
examinations all over the County to
detect incipient cases. '
