Survey Needs Workers The Huron County TB survey, which will begin next May 7, will. require the services of five •thous-' and • volunteer workers to help reach the objective of a hundred per cent of the eligible population, that is, all persons of high school age or over. The peed for such a. large .nnni-: ber of workers was , explained by C. H. Bray, of the Ontario Depart- ment of Health, who pointed out at the organization meeting that the survey depends on its success largely upon adequate publicity and personal canvass. For this reason, the general survey's-com- "i land, Clinton, and the Huron TB Association's president, F. E. Ma- dill, Wingham, have set up an organization which will reach into every corner of the county. The main committees have al- ready been established, .but Edwin P. Chesney, Tuckersmi•th, chairman of the .canvass, -points out that hundreds of workers are needed to make sure that c' Very home in the county is reminded of the coming survey so that all members will know when and where to go to have their chests - X-rayed. The reason for taping such trouble and setting up such a vast organization is that health officials feel that the survey will only be effective if everybody, 'presents himself at the mobile clinics in May. Because it is an infectious disease, which can be caught from any one who has TB and is not being treated, it is dangerous to have any unknown cases in any community. Year ago this fact was recog- nized as applied to cattle and _com- pulsory 'TB testing was instituted. While the test is not compulsory for human beings, it is clearly as important that the disease be con- tr•olled in men and women as in cattle. For this reason, every effort is being put forth to make the survey a complete success. It is planned within the next three weeks to try to recruit the necessary five thous- and workers, and to this end com- mittee members are already going through the county asking for volunteers. If Huron is to show the way and chalk up the first all-out chest survey in a rural area, these work- ers are essential.
