V, Telephone Employees Are Ex -Rayed In cooperation with the"Ontario De- partment of Health, nine,Clinton tele- phone employees underwent X-ray ex- amination of the chest here on Tues- day, Primarily, the X-ray examina- tions are for the detectinn pf tuber- culosis but they also dibelose other abnormal' conditions of the chest, ac- cording .to P. D. Wilsoe, Berl •Tele- phone Manager at Stratford, Mr. Wilson pointed out that _: Bell employees are being Xayed on a voluntary basis and that workers in all departments are beim .given the privilege. These examinations are part of a general plan, he{said, which is being extended to the majority of the company's 7,000 entloyees in Ontario, The cost of the xamination is being borne jointly bqa company and the Ontario Deportment of Health. The Provincial Health department has examined 100,000 Ontario men and women to date, and is experience has revealed that 08 pereent of all tuberculosis is found in persons in the employed age group, By ascertaining the case of tuberculosis in this group, examinations of families leveal other eases, and thus is obtained the fastest method of detecting active tubercul- osis in this Province. Tuberculosis, according to statistics kills more people than elf other con- tagious diseases, yet it isi:known that the death rate would arop'`Ip per cent if all cases could be found',efore they reached inoderatly or ,fit" adv teeed stages. In an effort td tithieve WS' position. Ontario has led in the devel- opment of mass examination. One of the most remarkable aspects of the organization which the Province dev- eloped to accomplish this is the tray-. &ling unit; which makes it possible to conduct examination during busi- ness hours without interrupting work appreciably.
