O'Brien, executive dir- ector of the Ontario Tubercul- osis Association said Monday, the International TB Associa- tion advised countries in the. Far East not to spend money on sanatoriums and importing of medical personnel. Mr. O'Brien, who just return- ed from a four-month trip to the Far East was speaking at the Huron County., Tuberculo- sis Association's annual meet- ing eeting in Blyth. He explained these emerging nations could not afford the expense of sana- toriums and as well there are simpler ways of controlling the disease. He said wonder drugs are available, but the problem is the ways in whjch to find cases of the disease. The Internation- al TB Association recommend- ed ecommended such countries hire high. school graduates to give the ,sputum test to individuals. He. pointed out the only expense involved in test equipment is the purchase of a good miro- scope. He added many of the emer- ging countries want to buy X -Ray machines but the cost is high and besides the machine, they need specialists to exam- ine the X -Rays. "They should make greater use of the TB vaccine which is not used in Canada because we 'do not need it", he said. D. M. Ray, Stratford; prei- dent of the Ontario TB Associa- tion said in --a short address; cit was fatuous to consrdar that TB was eliminated" in Ontaro. He agreed it was . natural for the organization. to take. on other respiratory diseases. such as bronchiectasis. In the business part of the meeting, George A. Watt, Blyth,. was re-elected president.
