It is the cam- paign which is being waged by trie World Heaith Organization (WHO), w,ýithou.t fanfare or htupet, to wipe rmalaria from the" face Lof the eart'h. A. small international army of doctors, nurses and their assist- ants is engaged in a life and deat strgglein ilnety-two countries, GreatL Britain bas more men in the field than any othernai, but this great en- terprise is better kno-wn in places known in places like Oaxaca and Katmundu than in Toronto or Montreal. ,Malaria is one of the warld's oldest scourges. It brings suf- ferîng and death ta babies, saps the energy ofadi, and in its day has stified hunr life aver vast areas. Once itwa preva- lent in Britain--Oliver Crow- well was a victîm. To-day, ma- laria 'is a constant threat tae i healtb and livelihood of millions. Two million die of it every y.ear and over 200 million suiffer nt- tacks fromn it. Nothing like WHO's total wvar againist malaria has eve7n been attempted. In these týroubied days, it shows, hearteningly, that the nations can ,vork ta- gether for a comman purpose. The enemy is the blood-sucking' anapheles masquita, which bites a persan infected with malaria, picks up the deadly parasite, and shoots it inta the blood- streami of a healthy persan with another.,bite. Malaria cannot be transmitted' i any other way, but there are uncountable millions ofimas qui- toes availabie for the job. -The, aitti-mnalarial problemi, there- fore, is ta break the vicions Circle of infection: max-mas- 4uito-man, and tao stop the inosquito passing an malaria, One way is ta attack the mas- quitoes at their breeding places I swamprs and pools.

"'Me shall need 'tens of tbausands of teams, and millions of tons of supplies, and equip- ment. llundreds of millions of homes must be visîted, hundreds of millions of blood tests carried aut, and tons of drugs supplied. "Thiousands -of lorries, cars, bicycles, donkeys, camnels, ele- phants und boats are needed. We must co-ordixiate the ýwork of bsxndireds of labcsratories and workers, arrangeei1ngs of experts, translate reports from many diîfferent cauntries sa that tbey cah beuxiderstood lin the others." This drive ta wipe ouf malaria also menýans mnaking thousands of maps, tLakinig a census of popula- tion in the affected areas, keep- ing a check on the movements 'of millions of nomads, giving lec- tures, and holding open-air dis- eussions with villagers ta con- vince themn that everythixig is being done for their awxi good.
