August 8th, 1943 Dear Mrs. Prentice, Just a few lines to thank you and., the members of the Bayfield Com- nunity Fund for the gift of cigaret- tes. They sure came in handy as I had just '-finished the last of niy Can., atlian ones a few clays ago. The weather here has been very nice,but we do get quite a lot of rain -did the nights are rather cool. As yet I: haven't met any of the boys from around home; but ant still with a few of the boys l carne over. with; i think England and Scotland are very pretty places, especially the ,THURS., S,E'T. 14 1943 countryside. I have been to London on leave and also have visited friends in. England. • ,- I suppose „I-suppose the fishermen will be very busy now, also the farmers taking off; the harvest. It surewill be nice when thewar is over :and everyone home, again. I will say good=bye for ;now.Thankingyou again, I remain Yours sincerely, Thomas H Scotch - mer. .V IN THE LETTER BOX Queen Alexandra San., London, Ont, Sept. 14, 1943 Mr, G. E. Hall Editor Clinton News -Record . Clinton Ont, • RE "Publicity in Tuberculosis." Dear Sir: • Each one of us must be profound- ly grateful ,for the fine spirit of loyal support shown by the press and radio through the commentator, the artist, the lecturer, and the leaders generally for all• the publicity cam- paigns for the control of tuberculosis. It is a' .suitable match'for the fine spirit shown by case finding, early diagnosis, and adequate treatment. Occasionally one comes across. 'a very important article which does not jibe with what we believe to be cor- rect and it seems to be necessary tie sit around a table, sc. to speak, and to discuss material from high places 'in order to keep the path clear ahead. I refer to "The Camera Fights a Kil- ler" by Herman B. Dicitsch in the Saturday. Evening Post of May. 29, 1943. This article in 'the sense that it urges the use of the X -Ray photo- graphs of the chest•for every one, is a very valuable contribution to the publicity for the control of tubercul- osis. Just 'why an article, having such a worthwhile foundation, shOu1d in- clude content that requires criticism and exposure must be left to the au- thor, his 'advisors and Post editors. For objection and condemnation,, I mention first the subject which is un- necessarily foreign to the main pre- mise of the article; A paragraph with :headline' says, "Tests with Screwball Results." It begins "At that thne (refers to the time the workers presented in the articles started "their" plan) The most widely used method for reveal- ing'tubereulosis infection on a mass scale was the tuberculin test." Tak- ing'an X -Ray of the chest in the pos itive reactors is no£ mentioned al- though all authorities agree that a chestX -Ray is an essential part of a tuberdulin-Resting program. The article then 'cites a rather large scale testing of. two . counties wherein they each gave essentially the same number' of positive reactors and yet one county. showed ten times the, number of deaths from tuberculosis as the other. Details on this point are not "given in this Post article nor would they be expected. It is true that some districts showing a higher tuberculin positive rate than would be expected. We have found several such in Oregon but in the main, a high tu- berculin positive incidence points to a badly infested group or community and a correspondinglyhigh number of eases. In the weeks to follow' I will continue the article mentioned abrose. Thanking you, I remain, • Yours sincerely R. E. Jenkins. V Married Men 30 to 35 May Soon Be Called Up Married ,teen between the ages of 30 to • 35 may soon become subject to call-up for compulsory military ser- vice, it was indicated by reliable sources in Ottawa on Monday. It is reported that cards covering men in this age group have been forwarded to divisional registrars across the country, and that: dl islon al officials have been informed- 'to pre- pare machinery to handle the call-up extension, whenever it may become, necessary. The date upon' which the •exten sion to the present call-up will be announced will depend largely, upon developments in the war situation. . Opening of another European front would necessitate a speed-up in the calling of reinforcements. Less than a month ago, me/tried men ranging from 27 to 30 years of age ;were madeliableto compulsory military service.. Single men from 18 1-2 to 40 and;: married men from 18 1-2 to 30 are now subject to call-up. -V----- Home -v'-Home from the Far North Clayton Weston has returned from a three month's land and water journ- ey, covering thousands of miles that took hind first: to .Fort Churchill on Hudson 'Bay, by rail, and thence by water, on the "Chesterfield," through the Hudson Straits, along Labrador coast to Goose Bay, site of the big new airport, south to the St. Law- rence ,and up the river to Quebec, where the vessel. is tobe revamped. 13o caro was car3ie(i • He says; that 'Fort Churchill is a barren place of only 'a •few hundred people.
