"""The Poor Mali's Charity" Needs Your 'Delp
HURON COUNTY Tuberculosis Associa-
titan's annual Christmas Seals Cpnvpaign is
under way once again. In this 'drive, the As-'
sedation, backed by the various Lions Clubs,
is asking the good people of Huron County
to support the Campaign, whose sole purpose
is to raise funds for carrying on the fight
agoiust the dread disease—tuberculosis.
Christmas Seals have been sold on this
' continent continuously since 1907, so that this
Method of raising funds is well, known to most
people.
It is difficult to realize that although the
death rate from tuberculosis has been reduced
by more than 85 per cent in the past 50
years, it still is the leading cause of death
among Canadians between the ages of 15 and
45 years. •
It. also is encouraging" to note that the
Beath rate in Ontario last year was 15.4 per
100,000 population, the lowest in the Province's
history.
In Ontario, there are 15 sanatoria pro-
viding 4,667 beds, an increase of 411 beds
over the past five years. In 1949, ex -patients
to the number of 1,689 received post -sana-
torium "assistance. , At the present time, 20
persons from. Huron County are patients in
Beck Memorial Sanatorium, London.
The Christmas Seals Campaign has been
called the "poor man's charity." Ever since
that memorable and oft sung day in 1907
when the first Christmas Seals were being
sold on this continent and the small, ragged,
dirty, little news boy reached up to the desk
of the well known columnist, Leigh Mitchell
Hodges, in Philadelphia, and said, "Sir, girrene'
some, me sister's got it", boys and girls, men
and women, no matter how rich or poor, have
been buying Christmas Seals "according to
their income or interest", because they too
had a sister or a brother, a father of a mother,
a relative or a :friend, who had "got it"—the
dread disease Tuberculosis..
Because there will not be sufficient seals
to send to everyone, if you should not receive'
yours through the mails, you are asked to
contact your nearest Lions Clubwhich is
arranging the distribution of these seals again ,
this year, or leave your contribution with your
bank and a supply will be furnished to you.
Immigrants
WORLD POLITICAL conditions, our own
potential but undeveloped natural resources
and our strategic place in world affairs, give
Canada both an opportunity and responsibility
in the matter of immigration, according to a
memorandum released by the Canadian Cham-
ber of. Commerce.
Pointing up the fact that Canadian industry
has undergone a decade of unprecedented ex-
pansion and diversification, reference is made
to the need for stepping up the tempo of
Canada's preparations for defence and, as .a
result, there are many opportunities for both
heavy labour and skilled artisans in the trem-
endous construction program now underway.
"We are now in the midst of the greatest
era of growth since Confederation," states the
memorandum. Apart from industrial expan-
sion, there is a need for workers to develop
our natural resources and the statement sug-
gests that there is still room for new agri-
cultural settlement. Calling Canada "the new
Belgium of a divided world," the memorandum
states that the 14 million people who occupy
our half continent are Sar less than what we
Needed
need to preserve our national security now
and in the future.
Other arguments adduced to support the
policy are that Canada's governmental, com-
munication and transportation systems as well
as other servicing facilities, were developed
for a much greater population than ,we have
today, and, similarly, the burden of taxation
which has grown from our efforts in two
world wars and from the cost of various social
measures enacted by Parliament, can only be
lowered on a per capita basis if there are
more people. Immigration 'will mean greater
diversification and efficiency in production and
greater domestic consumption, "Greater sta-
bility, higher efficiency, more production and
greater consumption, almost always have been
our experience in the past when there was a
heavy inflow of immigrants;'^ states the
memorandum.
Other points included in the release are
the composition of the population, emigra-
tion
tion and the fact that medical and political
screening must be given to prospective Immi-
grants.
London -New York In Six Hours
.LEAVING LONDON, England, at noon and
arriving at Idlewild airport after New Yorkers
,have had lunch is the prospect , for fast At-
lantic crossings when Britain's "Comet," the
first jet dir liner, gets into transocean service.
four years hence.
James Dugan, describing the new De-
Baviland ship in a December Reader's Digest
article, says the Comet cruises at 450 m.p.h.,.
will make the London -New York run in six
hours, at an altitude of eight miles. To pas-
sengers on the east -west trip, the sun will
appear to stand almost still, as they will be
travelling west nearly as fast as the earth
lb rolling east.
A Canadian counterpart, the Avro Canada
Jetliner, will operate between major North
American cities, the, Digest article points out.
The first Canadian -built Jetliner took, off from
Ontario's Melton airport a few days after the
deHaviland Comet's maiden flight in England.
A. V. Roe Canada is now building its second
Jetliner with 95 per cent 'Canadian staff.
The Digest account, condensed from Saga,
says England's Comet is about the size of the
Constellation. Four jet engines are enclosed
in the wings; between each pair is a housing
for a Sprite rocket engine which can be used
to accelerate takeoffs. For 12 seconds thetwo
Sprites can boost the plane's horsepower to
48,000—nearly a quarter as much as the total
horsepower of the huge passenger liner Queen
Mary.' Although about 200 m.p.h. fester than
the nearest American competitor, the Comet
will not be an extra -fare plane. In fact, its
economy of operation may bring lower fares.
Twenty-five 'thousand blueprints went in-
to the Comet's design before the plane was
approved in theory. The deHaviland Company
was, so confident of the blueprints that it ec-
,cepted government orders for 16 Comets and
guaranteed a price before even a single proto-
type was built for testing.
In Search
A PRAIRIE FARMER, returning from a
trip to British Columbia, made the acquaint-
ance of a young man on his way to the
prairies in search of a suitable location for
an automobile service and repair shop of his
own, comments The Rural Scene.
.Asked why he wanted to locate on the
prairies 'he said he wanted to get away from
the unions.
Ile had been driving e. tractor in the
lumber woods. The union, to which all em-
ployees in the camp had to belong, called a
strike to enforce its demands for higher wages.
As be had a wife and child to keep and.
could not afford to be idle, he applied to the
union for permission to go,elsewhere and hunt
Of Freedom
for a job.
This request was refused so he sneaked
away end, in his own words, was "leaving
the province without permission."
Asked what authority the union had to
stop him from going wherever he wished, he
replied: "They really couldn't stop me from
leaving; but they could refuse me a ticket
and without their ticket I wouldn't be able
to get a job in any lumber camp in Canada."
So he set out to find some little town un
the prairies where lie could start a little busi-
ness for himself without having to ask any-
one's permission to work or to go and come
as he pleased.

IT PAYS TO WAIT!
Many railway crossings have more than one track, which
multiplies the, hazard to the motorist and makes the need for
caution doubly great.. The drawing above emphasizes one of the
prime dangers of the multiple -track crossing—the train on the
farther track obscured by the train moving in the opposite direc-
toin on the near track. This motorist would have saved himself
trouble if lie had waited a second or two to see if the farther
track was clear before proceeding. The Board of Transport, Com-
missioners for Canada receieed reports of 443 railway crossing
accidents in the 12, -month period ended June 30 last. Those acci-
dents took 140 lives and injured 54e others. In some cases motor-
ists disregarded protective devices placed at crossings for their
protection, and in others disregard 'loss
the basic rules of safe
driving,was responsible for needless loss of !life and injury.

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
The writer "of the paragraph,
who has not been a hockey fan,
heard with surprise the other
day that the worst headache of
the Arena Management is ligior.
Some fans bring a bottle with
them, During the game they
drink. It is not long before they
are making a nuisance of them-
selves, to the annoyance of their
neighbours. It , is unfortunate
that this fine Canadian game
attracts such wretched followers,
They will not be welcome in the
Wingham Arena. With Sive artif-
icial ice rinks in the district
there are great times ahead for
hockey players and hockey fans,
The players are under a ban not
to drink. Some such ban as that
will have to be imposed on the
fans, if hockey is to win and
hold the good will and patronage
of the public.—Advt. 47-b
