LET'S HELP ERADICATE TUBERCTJLOSIS!
T izrerculosis, a disease which need not exist at all,
• is jtlSt SS serious a peacetime enemy in terms of
life, as were erstwhile human enemies. The fact
. that almost as many Canadians were .killed by tuberculosis
, during the period of the recent war as were killed in action,
- clearly demonstrates the need of a contMuous and vigorous
fight against ttiis disease.
• Under the auspices of Huron County Tuberculosis
Association, the annual Christmas Seal Campaign is now
under way, with local committees in charge in their OW11
areas. The county chairman, Rev. W. A. Beecroft, Wing -
ham, believes that H-uron County OM and Will reach its ob-
jective of $6,000,
It is the intention of the Association to sponsor, in
• co-operation with the Ontario DepartMent of Health, a mass
x-ray survey of all citizens during the coming year. This
service will be provided free of charge, financed by the pub
lie purehase of seals at this time. In addition to the survey.
, which is the surest means of early diagnosis of large groups
of people, it is intended to sponsor health education, clinical
work, and where possible, rehabilitation.
Within the past forty years, Christmas seals have
helped reduce the death rate from tuberculosis in Canada by
eighty .per cent, But even now, it takes the lives of more
Canadians over the age of five years, than do a other con-
tagious diseases combined.
Many thousands of these seals are bought to give
a Yuletide touch to letters, gifts and parcels. They may
be purchased at local banks and drug stores, or from the
committee of which Frank Fingland, K. C. is Chairman.

CONFIDENCE IN CANADA'S FUTURE
Atone of confidence concerning the future of Can.
•ada, tinged with a warning against over-expansien
of business and eonceni at 'the present level of
taxation, featured the presidential address of George W.
Spinney, 0 M G, at the 129th annual meeting of the Bank
of Montreal tins week.
• Reviewing the economic and social aspect of dom-
estic and international events during the past year, Mr.
• Sphiney looked to a future which he viewed with guarded
• optimism. He noted that "in an age of flux there are some
economic realities and basic values that do not, and cannot,
change."
„ "No device or formula can produce wealth and well-
being without work; enterprise and the assurance of reward.
No mere document replete with cleverly devised sections,
sub -sections and exceptions, can ensure fruitful co-operat-
ion between individuals or between nations lacking the con-
fidence that tan grow only from fair and honourable deal-
ings."
Commenting on the modern tendency to speak of
labor as a "force," a "factor" or a "cost element", the Presi-
dent said he preferred to think of labor "as the same people
who were so largely responsible for this Dominion's spect-
acular wartime 'production records and who made their
contribution, too, in. the front line. These are citizens who
want a better life [for themselves arid for their children.
They want to look to a future free from fear .of unemploy-
ment. They do not want another war. In all these things
they are no different from their fellow Canadians."
