LONDON, PHONE 74711 Or Call Mrs. Hoggartlq Exeter 529J to have Representative Give An Estimate i Lucan And District News Chest X-Ray Campaign In Middlesex Under Way The mass chest x-ray campaign in Middlesex started this week When canvassers began rapping on doors to request residents to check their chests at free clinics, The clinics for the north end of the county will be held around the first of November. The schedule was released recently by Hugh Filson, Denfield, who is publicity chairman for the drive. ■Canvassers in the county have been attending briefing meetings for the past two weeks to prepare themselves for the door-to-door campaign to persuade Middlesex residents to take advantage of the clinics. Officials of the junior farmer organization, which is sponsor­ ing the campaign, emphasize that getting the chest x-ray is a simp­ le, quick procedure. It only takes a few minutes because all the person has to do is to step up to the machine; he doesn’t even have to undress. A week or so after the x-ray has been taken, a confidential report on what has been found is received. ■General chairman of the coun­ ty survey committee is Miss Mad­ eline Hardy, of R.R. 4, Denfield. Mr. Alex McComb, of R.R. 2 Denfield is co-chairman. 'In charge of the North Middle­ sex district are Mrs. Rajr Camp­ bell, Miss Joyce McEwan and Mr. Ben DeKay; the east section is being administered by Don Mid­ dleton, Miss Joanna Anderson and Wm, Grieve. In the Lucan Community, the x-ray unit will be at the arena on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 2 and 3, from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m. Mrs. Sher­ idan Revington is the survey chairman. In the Ailsa Craig Community, the unit will be at the town hall on Monday, Nov. 1, from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m. At Parkhill the survey will be made in the town hall on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 4 and 5, dur­ ing the same hours.

Molitor, PRECIOUS PEBBLE Back in 1825 the Danish scientist Oersted produced the first pebble of metallic alu­ minum. Half a century passed before a technique was discov­ ered for turning out the metal in quantity. Modern processing of bauxite ore to make low-cost aluminum uses fantastic quantities of power. That is why Canada is one of the world’s major alu­ minum suppliers. In Quebec province, smelters at Arvida, Shawinigan Falls, Isle Maligne and BeauharnOis last year used nearly one-fifth of the country’s total electrical output, And in British Columbia new sources of water power are feeding the pot lines of the new smelter at Kitimat.
