ANNUAL APPEAL
Campaign Makes Possible
Free . X -Ray Clinic in •
Huron.
The Huron County Tuberculosis As-
sociation is again appealing to the lib-
erality of the people of Huron by the
purchase of Christmas Seals. The
'Association hopes to raise, this year,
in the County, a, minimum of, $6,450.00
'which is necessary tq adequately car -
;•y on its work for another year.
During 1947 free X-ray clinics were
held at God.erich and Wingham, at
which approximately 8.,000 people were
X-rayed. The county committee has
been assured by the Provincial' Assoc-
iation that the remainder of the coun-
ty will be covered in 1948.
The committee in announcing the
appeal, has pointed out that continual
vigilance, for many years, will be
necessary if tuberculosis •is to be
stamped out. This vigilance is only
possible by the assistance given the
appeal by the people of the district.
During the past week appeal circulars
have been, forwarded throughout the
district, together with Christmas
seals.

tee is Mayor M. A. Reid, and the com-
mittee includes Dr. E. A. McMaster,

McKillop, Dec. 2.
To the Editor:
Dear Sir: • In the interest ofe••'the
inhabitants of McKillop Township, I
wondered if you would kindly print
this letter. :
The nominations for Council and
Reeve for McKillop will soon be held.
All those interested in proper man-
agement should do their utmost to
attend and . take an active part. Too
many criticized hut, when the oppor-
tunity to correct the faults presents
itself, they are conspicuous by their
absence.
And what is wrong with women at-
tending the nomination meeting?
Many women are co-owners or own-
ers of farms in••McKillop and women
have had equal franchise with men
for over two decades. Take your' wo-
men to the meeting. After all, they
cdn't do worse -than their men have
done these past few years, •
Each voter should pick a wortby
man from the north, south, east and
west parts of the township, and,' if
not satisfied with the present set-up,
as most of .us aren't, get up and nom-
inate his choices.
Christmas is coming very soon; but'
are we able to go out and shop with
our families? No, WE aren't, but
the people from Tuckersmith, Logan
and otber surrounding townships are
able to, And why can't we? Because
We have a council and reeve who live
in the past and apparently prefer to
do so. The snow is soft now and
could, quickly be plowed, but the
powers -that -be are waiting for "a
good hot sun!" Of course some of
them live close to the North Road,
•which is kept plowed, and they can
go to town in cars, as the rent of
us can't.
Wake •up, M,eKillop voters, and put
some men in charge of our township
who are aware that 1948 is just
around the corner, and if we want to
survive in this machine age, we'll
have to use machines --not forgetting
the good old horses for emergencies,
of mares.
Hoping that this Year will see a lit-
tle spirit in the nominations and none
of this aeclamation stuff.
