The Bell Company is co- operating with the Department of Health by arranging for its 7,000 em- ployees in this province to be exam- ined, according to P. D. Wilson, Bell Telephone manager at Stratford. Primarily, the x-ray examinations are for the detection of tuberculosis but they also disclose other abnormal conditions of the chest, Mr. Wilson pointed out. Bell employees are being x-rayed 011 a voluntary basis, he said, and workers in all departments are being given the privilege. The cost of the examinations is being borne jointly by the company and the De- partment of Health. Examination of well over 100,000 men and women in Ontario reveals that between two or three persons out of every 1,000 workers have tub- erculosis requiring treatment, A great many more inactive cases are revealed, however, some of which re- quire advice as to future care, but many of which have become healed. Another important result of surveys of this kind is the discovery of con- tacts, either of persons who infected the worker or of persons who are in process of being infected by the un- suspecting Victim. According to statistics, tubercul- osis kills more people than all other contagious diseases, yet it is known that the death rate would drop 75 per cent if all cases could be found before they reached moderately or far advanced stages. In an effort to achieve this position, Ontario has led in the development of mass examina- tion. One of the most remarkable aspects' of the organization which the Province developed to accomplish this is the travelling unit, which makes it possible to conduct examin- ations during business hours without any appl'ecia.ble interruption to work, mile, Thurs.
