Hears Reports
Bacteriological examination is
perhaps even more important
than X-rayin the diagnosis of
tuberculosis, the annual meet-
ing of the Huron Tuberculosis
Association was told Thursday
night. Meeting in Zurich, the
group was addressed by Dr. L
B. R. Duncan, assistant profes-
sor of Bacteriology, University
of Western Ontario.
Speaking on "Antibiotics and
Infectious Disease," Dr.•Duncan
said Newfoundland and Quebec
are far behind other provinces
in the eradication of tubercul-
osis. However, he said, many
new cases in Ontario" are not
diagnosed until seriously ad-
vanced when admitted to a
sanatorium. Many of these are
men,. and most of them middle-
aged.
Dr. Dunlop commended the
association for the fundis allot-
ted for research. Research, the
speaker said, is so necessary to
help eradicate the disease. In
Ontario, six out of 100 have
tubercle bacillii that are resist-
ant to one of the three • drugs
used. We need more research,
he continued, to find other
drugs.
Reviewing the work carried
out during 1961-62, J. Elgin
McKinley, association president,
said 12,425 letters had been
mailed in November, and 15,397
follow-up letters. Although the
total receipts were slightly low-
er than 1960, the return per let-
ter sent was 14 cents greater
than the Ontario average, but
the return per contributor was
23 cents less. The Huron per
capita return was 22.2 cents -
2 cents more than the Ontanio`•
average.
The chest admission X-ray
program at the five hospitals
in the county had an average
coverage of 80%, the president
stated in his annual report.
Showing the importance of this
program ih' `I'B" control is the
fact that'in :1961 in Ontario,
one in 1,144 patients who had
an admission chest X-ray, were
recommended for sanatorium.
"Eight patients went to Beck
Sanatorium• this year, two of
whom were re -admissions. The
average length' of stay was 53
days. At present there are three
from the County in the San.
The• -patients were visited; gifts
were given to them at Christ-
mas, and there is a fund there
to take care of the needs of our
patients. On the advice of the
Rehabilitation Officer, .transpor-
tation was provided for an ex -
patient," the•president reported.
Examinations totalled 973 in
the county this year, an increase
of 162, the report continued.
At the reference chest clinics
at Clinton, Wingham and Gode-
rich Hospitals, there were 343
examinationsi at the X-ray clin-
ics at Clinton, Goderich; Wing -
ham and Seaforth, 412 persons

Fire Damages
Harpurhey Home
Damage of $3,500 resulted
Monday afternoon when fire
gutted the upstairs of the resi-
dence of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Nicholson in' Harpurhey.
Seaforth Fire Chief John F.
Scott said the blaze was caused:
by an overheated stovepipe.
The second storey of the build-
ing was severely damaged and
the first storey was damaged by
smoke and water.
Mrs. NielS'olson said the fam-
ily smelled smoke shortly after
a fire had been lit in a down-
stairs stove. So quickly did the
flames spread that contents of
two bedrooms, where the fire
is believed to have originated,
were a complete loss. Neighbors
removed furniture and other
effects from the rest of the
house. -
Mr. Nicholson is a former
Tuckerafriith reeve, and -Htir'on
Co'untt Warden,
the crowds that gathered at
every stop took full advantage
of it to see and hear Mr..Pear-
son. They were enthusiastic
and friendly crowds, and the
good humor was reflected in
his Lremarks. as Mr. Pearson dis-
cussed theproblems facing Can-
adians today in several short
chats at stopping points on the
tour, .
First stop was in Blyth where
school children •and citizens
were grouped •in front of the
public school, and in 10 min-
utes the tour continued on to
Clinton. Construction work on
No. 4 Highway 'forced a detour
to Auburn and Summerhill, and
the arrival in Clinton was a few
minutes late. Here, coffee and
doughnuts were being served in
Library .Park, where Mayor W.
Miller extended a civic wel-
come. Preceding the cars into
Clinton was the Bannockburn
Pipe Band, which continued
with the tour, playing later at
Goderich and Zurich.
Goderich school children
were waiting in -Court House
Park, and after speaking brief-
ly, Mr.. Pearson cdntinued to
Harbor Park -for a picnic lunch,
where he joined several hun-
dred people who had been
waiting there. Short visits to
Goderich Manufacturing Co. and
of Dominion Road Machinery
Co. followed, and then the tour
left for St. Joseph and Zurich'.
Schoej children sang at St.
Joseph, and at Zurich a civic
reception was extended by
Reeve Milton Desch. Ivan Kalb-
fleisch was chairman, and ap-
preciation to Mr. Pearson was
expressed by Mrs. W. L. Whyte,
of Hullett.
Holding a series of cards
which spelled "Welcome, Mr.
Pearson," Hensall school chil-
dren crowded the highway in
front of the Town Hall. At
Exeter an enthusiastic "crowd'
filled Library Park to hear the
Liberal Leader and the Huron
candidate, Ernie Fisher.
Arrangements for the tour
were completed by Dan Mur-
phy, of the Goderich Liberal As-
sociatien.,and t>,, Y. McLean,
president of Huron Liberal
Association, accompanied Mr.
Pearson and Mr. Fisher on the
trip.
Wintermeyer Speaks
Ontario Liberal leader John
Wintermeyer addressed a meet-
ing of about 125 in the Legion
Hall, Seaforth, Tuesday evening
in the interests of. Liberal can-
didate Ernie Fisher.
Suggesting that the Cbnseiva-
Tour
' tive visions of five years ago
had turned into a tragic; com-
edy, the speaker said that Can-
ada's voice — once respected
throughout the world because
of its wisdom and strength—
now was 'stagnant.
"Visions like these are the
type we want to forget. We are
