"The problem is that we have no way of know- ing—out of 100 innooulations with BCG, for example-- whichhave been immunized and which have not. Once the innoculation is given, all re- ceivers will henceforth show a "positive reaction" to a tuber, culin test, A total immuniza- tion program with BCG would therefore be only partly effec- tive. It would negate the tu- berculin test, which is the most important technique for discovering and controlling Tuberculosis at the present time," Dr. Sturgeon said. "Nor do we yet possess anti- bodies that will cure Tubercu- losis in everyone," Dr. Stur- geon said. "There is still a percentage -- at least five per- cent of our population—on which present-day drugs have no effect. Research is continu- ing in this area, as well as in the perfection of BCG to 100 percent effectiveness," he said, REC. ASSOCIATION EUCHRE PARTY BLUEVALE—Eleven tables were in play at the Recreation Association's euchre party on Thursday evening. High scores were Mrs. George Hetherington and Frank McCormick; low scores, Mrs. Ethel Gibb and George Fischer. Mr. and Mrs. Al Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Elliott, and Mr. and Mrs. Murray Mc- Farlane were the committee in charge, The spirit of Christmas Let your home sing with the ,spiritof,Chrisitmas this year. Decor expert i`ukeit you, use all of the aeces'sories• Aye season to create a seasonal at- mosphere throughout your home. The cards you receive, for instance, all those colorful mementos from friends and re- latives, can become part of the Christmas decoration of your home. Hung on ribbon around doorways and in windows, they let the spirit of Christmas shine, inside and out, and the atmos- phere of the season will sing around you. Cards can be used as decora- tions on the tree. Each type of card can be fitted into a small decor unit of its own. For in- stance, take all the religious cards and those of an inspira- tional theme which you receive and build a small creche in the corner of the living room, us- ing the cards as the elements, especially if you have a nativi- ty sculpture set which you dis- play in your home during this most beautiful of seasons. Another corner of the room, possibly near the Christmas tree, could be used as the Santa Claus corner. All the cards bearing Santa's likeness -- even the funny ones of animals dressed up in Santa's hat -- can be put together in this children's corner. The traditional snow scenes , gathered together, can trans,- form an area into a small art gallery. The humorous and contetnporary Christmas cards from your more comical friends can convert a space into a Rogue's Gallery of Christmas humor. Intersperse these lively, lovely motifs with ribbons and bows to add to the Christmas- time flavor. In many cases the scenes can to "tied togeth- er" with ribbon. Use cotton wool or tinsel around your Christmas pictUratnat.

W. C. Sturgeon, president Ontario TO Association said. Tuberculosis is still the most important infectious disease in Canada, and in the world to- day--in spire of drugs and sel- ective use of vaccines," said Dr. Sturgeon. "Nearly 1, 500 active cases of Tuberculosis were found in Ontario last year and the incidence of the dis- ease is especially high in the urban areas," he said. Forty-seven volunteer Tuber culosis organizations in Ontario this month mailed out more than lz million packages of the familiar Christmas Seals with the double-barred red cross. "We are particularly con- cerned with the susceptibility of children to Tuberculosis," Dr. Sturgeon said. He explain- ed that "Positive reactions" to tuberculin tests in children usually mean that the child has been in recent contact with an active undiscovered case of the disease. "Statistically, one child in ten, reacting positively will develop active Tuberculo- sis unless preventive treatment is administered. Unlike many adults, young children have little or no ac- quired immunity to the dis- ease," Dr. Sturgeon stated. The OTA president describ- ed the famous BCG Tubercu- losis vaccine as "useful but only in some circumstances."
