The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1948-05-20, Page 1EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 20th, 1948Seventy>Fifth Year Single Copy 6 cent#. Free Tuberculsosis Survey Planned for Huron County The Huron County Tuberculo­ sis Association has completed arrangements with the Depart­ ment of Health for free chest X-Rays for all the people of the county. These arrangements were made at a meeting of the executive and representatives of the Lions Clubs in the county. Rev. W. A. Beecroft, the chair­ man, presided at the meeting. Last year most successful cli­ nics were held u-t Goderich and Wingham .at which some 8,000 people had this free ‘chest exa­ mination. Since the response was so gratifying in these cen­ tres, the committee is certain that the clinics arranged for this year will be well attended. Local committees are being set up in the towns and villages to arrange for the house can­ vas and all other’ details of the clinics. It was pointed out that all church, organizations, insti­ tutes. service clubs and the local authorities will wish to assist in this work. As these X-Ray examinations are free and take but a few se­ conds, every citizen usually res­ ponds. The cost of the films is paid by the Huron County Tu­ berculosis Association which re­ ceives its fund from the annual sale of Christmas seals. The people of Huron County have supported this Christmas Seal Campaign and we know they are interested in the X-Ray pro­ gram. The following is the list of dates and places of the clinics: Exeter—May 31st, 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. to June 2nd, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ‘ Dashwood—June 3rd, 1:00 to 9:00 p.m., to June 4th, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Zurich—June 7th, 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., to June Sth, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Hensail—June 9 th, 1:00 to 9:00 p.m., to June 10th, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 n.m.
