IMPORTANCE OF X-RAY
FORT .II. STRESSED
The importance of the free X-ray
survey to each Wingham citizen which
-begins here at the Town Hall, on May
:26th., conducted by the local Christ-
mas Seal Committee, is stressed by
local physicians.
Tuberculosis is one of the most cur-
able of diseases, if it is not too far ad-
vanced when discovered and if prompt
treatment is given.
Prevention of the disease means the
also of X 2ray. Its its early stages tub-
.erettlosis does not produce symptoms.
An affected person is usually not con-
scious of being And it is only
when the disease has progressed that
the person becomes aware of some-
thing amiss and consults his physician.
Until mobile clinic equipment of the
type coming to Wingham was avail-
„able, chest clinics confined their ser-
vices to persons known to have tub-
erculosis, and those with whom they
.associated. As a result only one in
dive persons suffering from the disease
'was discovered in its early stages,
Mass surveys of apparaeently healthy
persons have discovered more than
twice the number of such cases.
Once the X-ray has demonstrated
tuberculosis, proper treatment can be
started at a sanatorittm, and just as itti-
portant the affected person can be ee-
/staved from the company of those who
might get the disease from him.
Mass X-ray surveys of 150,000 men
and women in industrial plants in Ont.
ario during the war years had 'shoWn
about 2 in every 1,000 individuals ex-
ambled to have active tuberculosis re-
quiring treatment, These examine-
tioes had also been valuable in utseovs
.tiring other chest conditions,
Two reasons why local residents
should make appointments for their
Xsrays. First, because it is good to
know ores chest is healthy, and sec,

The•annual inspection of the Wing-
tam High School Cadet Carps was
held on the afternoon of Tuesday,
May 6th., with Major J. Young
Cadet Training Officer of Western
Ontario, accompanied by Lt. J. E, Ma-
lone, as inspecting officers, Major
Young praised the work of the Corps,
particularly the march past, and the
girls' gymnastics, and told Principal
W. S. Hall that be considered that
much had been• accomplished in view
of the lateness 'of the spring,
which had prevented outside drill un-
til the end of April. The students
looked very smart, the boys in cadet
uniform, and the girls in blue, gym-
nasium suits with white shod's and
and socks,
A feature of the programme was the
demonstration work. Through the
co-operation of the 99th AjTk Battery
of town, who loaned the equipment,
the cadets set tip and operated a tele-
Rhone exchange and "19” wireless sets.
A class in first aid completed the de-
monstrations.
Unfortunately the day was dull and
very cold, so that spectators were few,
and it is hoped that next year the
weather will be more favourable in
order that those interested will be able
to see what is being done in the Cadet
and Physical Training work in the
School.
The boys of the Corps were trained
by Mr. Frank Madill and Mr. Robert
Ferguson, and girls by Miss Audrey
Boe.
The programme for the afternoon
was as follows: General Salute; Inspec-
tion of Ranks; March Past in Column
of Route; March Past in Column of
Platoons; Advance in Review 'Order;
General Salute; Platoon Drill; Physical
Training Table; Gymnastics by Wnig-

LeROY 0, BROWN, B.S.A.
Who has been appointed Agricultur-
al Representative for Huron County,
effective May 1, 1947, according to an
announcement matte by J. A. Garner,
Director of Extension, Ontario Dept.
of Agriculture. He has been acting
Representative since April 29, 1946,
having succeeded F. K. B. Stewart,
now with the Economics Department,
O.A.C., IGuelph.
Born on a large dairy farm in Dur-
ham County, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
Brown. Mr. Brown attended Orono
Continuation 'School and Bowmanville
High School and graduated from the
Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph,
in 1942. He entered the service of the
Agricultural Representatives' Branch,
in May, 1942, as assistant in the coun-
ties of 'Middlesex and Grey,
In October 1942, he commenced
training with the R.C,A.F., receiving
his "wings" as a navigator in March,
1944. He went overseas and after a
brief course in radar in Northern Eng-
land, was posted to No. 410 Canadian
night fighter squadron. He saw action
with this unit until the end of the war,
returning to Canada in August 1945.
Mr, Brown received his discharge
from the RCAF in October,. 1945, and
returned to the Branch as assistant re-
presentative in Ontario County, where
lie remained for six months before be-
ing posted to Huron County with
headquarters at Clinton.
This appeal immediately send all
our minds back to those momentous
clays when Britain stood between us
and disaster, We remember how the
people of Britain responded to the
challenge of Churchill and endured
blood, sweat, toil and tears to keep
Liberty safe, How they watched while
their homes were blasted and their
commerce was brought to a standstill.
How they survived the initial shock of
war and grimly set themselies to the
task of giving leadership to a world
threatened by the worst outrage of his-
tory.
And then we think of post war con-
ditions there. Those same brave
people working against almost insuper-
able odds to re-establish themselves to
dig themselves out of their ruin of bus-
iness and buildings and 'blasted hopes.
And finally as if their cup of woes
should be filled full, the worst winter
in a hundred years, snow and floods,
disrupted communications, unforsee-
able shortages and continued restric-
tions. The flood has left behind in thS
homes of the people an urgent need—
a need to which all of us living in this
realm of abundance should respond
wholeheartidly.
Clothing, .shoes and bedding of all
tykes in good serviceable condition and
clean; is urgently needed. In making
up your bundle be thoughtful, slip in
a package of needles or other means of
repair:• Whether new or used, make
the gift good in our sense of the word.
Foods of all kinds in non-perishable
containers that will stand travel and
handling, no glass containers, the
people of Britain have never acquir-
ed a taste for corn; but any canned
meats, vegetables, soups, jams, etc.,
dried fruits, packed -milk and eggS, tea,
cheese, white flour. They haven't
seen white flour since before the war.
Candy and sugar, however small the
quantity. Remember, they will not be
able to sweeten anything,
Cash donations spay be left at either
of the local bank:'`
Parcels are arriving at the Council
Chambers and are being packed by Mr.
Alex. Coutts. The local Committee ex-
pects that many packets of food and
clothing will be received before the
end of the week. To make sure that
all supplies available will be gather-
ed in, it is being arranged that trucks
will make the rounds of every street
on Monday, May 19th, after supper.
Have your parcels at the curb, securely
bound. Remember, the need in Eng-
land is very acute—give generously.
