WHITE PLAGUE
.. Prime Minister Churchill referred to the. .Air Force when he said ?Never,
Was So Much-'Owed By So Many To So Few,” but he could have said it with
equal application to the people of England who by day and ’night are being
bombed out of house, home and treasure, yet they hold fast to that “Island For

WHAT SHOULD BE THE MEASURE OF
OUR GRATITUDE ?-r
TH-E LORD MAYOR’S FUND is designed specially to help those sorely-
pressed people of England’s cities and countryside, who have neither time nor

In4 an article written for “Health",
official organ of the Health League of
Canada, shortly before his death, the
late Dr. J, W. S. MicCullaugh defines
the early symptoms of tuberculosis as;
Being top easily tired.
Loss1 of weight,
Indigestion, and
A cough that hangs on.
Pleurisy may be one of the first
signs of tuberculosis in ^dults, as may
also be a spitting of blood, however
slight. Nervousness, disturbed sleep
and a run-down condition are all
symtoms to be suspected. •'
The tubercle bacillus is passed from
person to person in various ways, Dr.
McCullough points out. The consump
tive who coughs with uncovered
mouth sprays the air around him .with
the bacilli. If he spits on the floor or
sidewalk the germs are likely to be
mixed with dust and blown about for
others to breathe. Bacilli may be de
posited on a spoon, drinking cup, pipe
or other article held in the mouth of
a victim. If these are used without a
thorough cleansing by a healthy per
son, he may contract the disease as a
■result. . •
Unpasteurized milk, if taken from a
tuberculous cow, is likely to infect the
drinker. A tuberculous mother who
kisses her
most sure
the child.
By way
lough urges that children of school or
pre-school age, students in secondary
schools and workers be examined per
iodically by a T.B. expert.
There is no serum, vaccine or medi
cine that will cure tuberculosis, and
patent medicines are likely only to
make matters worse, Dr. McCullough
declares,-but tuberculosis may be cur
ed if taken in time, and the one rem
edy" which has stood the test of time
is complete rest in bed.
He urges the sanatorium as the best
place for the treatment of the tubercu
lous patient, not only because he will

Hunting For Self
Pilot’s Assignment
A case of mistaken identity sent a
Trans-Canada Air Lines pilot off look
ing for himself recently. The pilot had
been practising flight manoeuvres in a
new Lodestar passenger transport
when the air lines’ dispatcher called
him with a request, to look for a mili
tary bombing plane that was apparent-
ly in difficulty 30 miles north of Leth
bridge. Obligingly breaking off his
routine, the pilot took new bearings
and made for the spot. The country
looked familiar when he arrived over
head. Widening disclosed nothing
amiss and then he radioed back: “Say,
it wouldn’t be me I’m looking for
would it? I was over here a half-hour
ago.” Sure enough the telephone call
that started the plane on its search
had been made by a resident who mis
took the big Lodestar for' a bomber
and the practise “let-down” manoeuv-
ers for an indication the aircraft was
trying to find a landing place.

URGE PURCHASE NOW
OF SEED POTATOES
Ontario Agricultural Representatives
have list of growers with
certified seech
The Ont. Dept, of Agriculture is en
couraging farmers to purchase certi
fied seed NW, before much of the
present availablei-sfock -has been sold
for table purposes. Many growers will
require a change of seed. This is spec
ially true in Western Ontario where
continued wet weather ruined many
potato rcops last fall. There should
be ‘'ho' delay, the Department cautions,
in arranging"for seed potato supplies.
Results of 57. potato demonstrations
over a 4-year period show an increase
in field of over 100% where Certified
Seed was planted, with- the proper
mixture of commercial fertilizer with
manure and keeping the plants well
protected from insects and late blight.
To successfully meet the competi
tion in Ontario markets, only the best
quality potatoes will sell. This can be
accomplished only by using disease^
free seed,'properly protecting the crop
while growing, and grading well be
fore marketing.
A recent survey by authorities
shoves more seed potatoes for sale this
year than last, with an increasing de
mand each week for good quality table
stock.
Agricultural Representatives in ev
ery county have a list of growers who
expect to have a surplus of certified
seed potatoes for sale; Prospective
growers are advised to consult their
nearest Agricultural Representative or
write direct to the district inspector,
seed potato certification, Ont. Agri
cultural College, Guelph, for a list of
Ont. seed potato growers;
