TALES THAT
HAVE BEEN TOLD
by Rev. Duncan McTavish,
NO OATS FOR HIS HORSE
. It Was harvest time, Farmers
were busy gathering in the sheaves
for threshing time in the future.
The modern combine had not a's
yet made its advent. The Meth-
odist minister was making his
rounds among his people. It
was nearing supper time when he
called at .the home of Uncle
George as he was called through-
out the neighbourhood.. The old
man was known for his loyalty to
the church, though there was a
suspiciOn aboard and not without
some reason for it, that the old
man's creed hardly matched his
conduct at time. • He was a

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

During. Campaign
Dear Sir;.-
Qii,January 31, 1072, the Huron-
Perth Tuberculosis and Respiratory
Disease Association closed the
books .of theo1971 Christmas Seal
Campaign. Thirtylrfour thousand,
four hundred and twenty-six dol-
lars and forty-seven cents was the
iniount recorded as received
which also included MeMorial
Gifts and Bequests.. , •
Our Association is very grate-
fill for the support of the ,Cciminun ,
ity in all Areas; response to
Christmas Seal letter i spress,
radio, and the many volunteers in-
volved in both program and cam-
paign.
The primary, aim of the Christ?
mas Seal Organization is to ,pre-
vent disease and its 'second
objective is the early detection
of disease with the introduction of .
the patient into an adequate. •
health care program. In recent
years it has lieen .shOwn that chron-
ic bronchitis and emphysema ate
the second ,rnosf conimon 'cause,
,Of disability with respect to socio-
economic loss.., We .are carrying.
out screening programs in many
localities .throughout the two-
coumy area and .urge your read-
.ers . to take icivantage of the ser- .
‘Itewhen w.c.are in your locality.
Screening, progranunes•have both
educational' and practical value
ilre-community- as -well as sfar-P
the pe=rson involved. Community'
screening for chronic respiratory
disease has .shown ati incidence of
6, to 10 'percent, of the 'population
18 years Of age or ,older. If the
screening is carried out with men
over the ;age .of 40 who have
smoked 20 cigarettes a day or. .
more for 20 years o' longer then
the incidence. lumps to about'25%,
We are remiss if we do not
mention the splendid service giv-.
'en our campaign by all the post-
masters and.staff, • Their co-oper•
anion is .essential to the success
of our -campa-i-gryand this -was.
forthcoming with cheerfulness and
humour.
