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 & Smelting Compa'nY takes an annual re- SHERBONDY'S COFFEE ireworks I. 1 Next to Lyceum Theatre, WINGHAM` • v, venue'of $25,000,000 from VIM Pion's ores, so the Manitoba gOvertunent may build the road to appease the secession, ists and thus keep the rich PIM Flon district inside Manitoba's boundaries, . * TRUMAN FQRFxqN, P4 (,ICY APPROVED President Trunian's new foreign pol- icy of financial aid to Greece and Tur- key now has the endorsement of Con- gress, By a vote of 287 to 107 on.

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. * * KNOW WINGHAM Aquatic sports are a pleasant, heal- thy recreation! A real beauty of a boat, made of aluminum and ' light enough for.easy portaging, has become a frequent sight on the "Pond" and upper Maitland - River. • Being a boat it is safe for even unskilled oarsmen, and its lightness makes it almost as easy to navigate as a canoe. The boys who own that boat are a proud, for- tunate threesome, and they will have some wonderful times with it. The Maitland River offers Wingharnites safe, clean aquatic facilities, convenient for use, and free to • MORRIS COUNPL A Court of Revision on the Grasby Drain in Morris Township, was held • PLASTER REPAIRING Plaster repairs promptly and neatly done.
