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 (Continued on Page 12) AREA COUNCILS MEET THERE WERE FEW IDLE MOMENTS as Liberal Leader Pearson campaigned across .

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.

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.
