liERE'S GOOD NEWS
The circular published by the Can-
adian Tuberculosis Association and cir-
culated recently in this locality, con-
tains wonderfully goodnews for every
Person, old and young, and the sick
anti the well, It proclaims to all the
world the cheering news that TB can
to conquered. It says, "TB can be
cured"! "TB can be prevented"! "TB
can be wiped o•tit"! "That is why an
X-ray Clinic is coming to town,"
"Thousands of Ontario citizens de-,
velop tuberculosis each year. Approx-
imately one thousand of them die.
They die because they are advanced
cases whose lungs were X-rayed after
serious physical breakdown. Had they
11111•111111.1•11110a.laaaa...,
been X-rayed in the early stases of
the disease, when ;they were feeling
well and were unaware of their cone
dition, sanatorium treatment could have
restored them to health, family and
happiness. WILL THIS HAPPEN
TO YOU? It shouldn't if you get a
chest X-ray now,"
"TB is caused by a germ. It kills
more people than all other communic-
able diseases -combined! TB strikes
without warning and infects young and
old, rich and poor, healthy and sick,
It is not a hereditary disease, although
many people think it is, TB in its
early stages is accompanied by NO
symptoms. But, people who are in-
fected, who are X-rayed early, and who
receive proper treatment without delay,
almost always are restored to health in
a short time."
"Whatever the result of your X-ray,
it will be good news! If the X-ray
shows a healthy chest, won't that be
good news? Perhaps it will show that
you already have fought a round with
TB and have won the battle. Won't
that be good news? Or perhaps it will
show that you have TB in the active
stage. Then it is good news to know
that prompt treatment can restore you
to health. An X-ray now may prevent
costly experience later. Now is the
time for your X-ray. Do not miss it."
"There is no longerany reason why
people should die of tuberculosis, To-
day, thanks to medical science, we
have the means not only of curing this
dread disease, but of ending it forever
as a menace to human life, health and .
Happiness. Join Ontario's fight against
tuberculosis, Have your 'chest X-ray-
ed while the Clinic is in town.0

TRANS-CANADA AIR
REPORT
On its tenth birthday, April 10th,,
the government-owned Trans-Canada
Air Lines claimed a safety record of
only one fatal crash, in which 12 per-
sons were,killed on Feb, 6th., 1941, in
568,319,413 passenger miles flown. On
April 28th„ TCA reported less cheer-
ing news when, shortly before mid
night of that day, a TCA Lodestar,
with 12 passengers and a crew of three
disappeared within' ten minutes of its
scheduled landing at Vancouver, B,C.
It is still missing and no trace has
been found of any of its wreckage yet.
On April 28th,, TCA released figures
showing that it• operated at a loss in
1946. In that year it carried 67 per
cent more passengers than in 1945, but
operating costs were so high it had a
deficit of $1,115,256. A major factor
in this operating loss 'was a 32 per cent
decrease in airmail carried, '

FUN FLON WANTS ROAD
The townsfolk of Flu Flon, Mani-
toba, have lived a strangely isolated
life for almost twenty years. The town
is built on the craggy rock and mus-
keg surrounding one of the richest ore
deposits in the world. Only a railroad
connects Flin Flon with The Pas,
Man,, 130 miles to the south, The
town boasts of its 400 acres, 100 trucks
and seven taxi stands, but it has only
15 miles -5f road in and out of the
town.
Recently the Flin Flon Board of
Trade recommended that the town se-
cede from Manitoba 'and join Saskat-
chewan on the Northwest Territories,
Part of the -town' including 400 of its
9,000 population, is within Saskatchew-
an's borders and •a road is under con-
struction from Nipawin, Sask., to Flin
Flon.
This secession stunt is intended to
force the Manitoba government to con-
struct a road, at an estimated cost of
$900,000.00 joining VIM Flan and The
Pas. , The Hudson Bay Mining &

WEEKLY THOUGHT
You have to take time -to die, so re-
lax and take time to live, You are not
indispensible and no task ' is worth
worry, so take time to look at things in
their true perspective occasionally.
The world got along alright before you
were' born and it will carry on very
nicely after your demise. Play the-game
of life fairly and do your fair share of •
its • necessary 'labors, but • ddn't get a
"phobia . for overdoing things or be-
come a nervous wreck through un-
necessary, unavailing worry. Worry,
cannot help, but it can kill. Relax for
a few minutes several times each day.
Those brief rest periods will refresh
you and they will repay you with div-
idends of greatly increased efficiency.
Put off the time when you will have to
take time to die, by taking time to
really live now. e. * *

it is safe for even unskilled oarsmen,
and its lightness makes it almost as

SIX C
100 YEARS AGO in Canada, mail was
delivered by couriers who collated the
postage in cash. The first seWing
machine resulted in a riot among em-
ployees of master tailors, There were only a few struggling newspapers, and
only the beginning Of a railway.
Under such conditions and during a
period, of Abdo national instability, the
Canada Life was born, Though many filiaecial institutions failed in the great
depression which followed, the Canada
Life, founded on a sound and conservative
basis, weathered the storm. It has pro.
gressed through 100 years of ivarst
epidemics , and depressions. irn the meantime life insurance has bietOine the '
