Many of the men recently employ-

other such inside jobs.

T.B. 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.
