district on tuesday and wednesday steady streams of people were at the oddfellows hall to take advantage of the clinic altogether over i 500 people were xrayed there during the two days plus hundreds of others who had their xrays when the mobile unit visited local fact ories the value of these xrays cannot be de termined in dollars and cents it is everyones hope that no cases of tuberculosis will be un covered in georgetown but if such be the case both the individual and the town in general can be thankful to the clinic for it can be the some dangers in socialism a reader who has been involved in a court case arising from an accident comments on last weeks editorial concerning an increase in unsatisfied judgment fee by saying he thinks the court sometimes bends too far in the dir ection of a government payment it is a natural result perhaps for it is hu man nature to favour the individual over the group we do not think that a judge is con sciously swayed by the fact that the govern ment guarantees a damage payment in favour of a wtonged party who previous to the un satisfied judgment legislation could collect no damages at all and yet there is bound to be a certain sympathy even in a judges mind for he too is a human being with the same capac ity for sympathy that we all possess perhaps our reader has put his finaer on this whole business of socialism and n sked a question for which there is only one answer socialism brings definite benefits but with these come just as definite disadvantages for in protecting the individual at the expense of the majority the majority must pay and sometimes must pay more than they would means of curing the one who has the disease as well as preventing its spread to other peo- pie the christmas seal campaign which is still underway is double proof that george town recognizes the service of the county tub erculosis association as this is written on tuesday morning 795 has been subscribed more money than in the whole campaign last year and the bank reports that contribu tions are still coming in iteadily as most ev eryone knows these freewill offerings from the public are the only wa funds are ranol for tb work if you havent already contribu ted it isnt loo late as the fund will be held open a few weeks longer normally expect the same disadvantages apply to any leg islation aimed at bettering economic condi tions unemployment insurance baby bon uses old age pensions health insurance all have their good points and their bad points it is human nature for the court to lean towards a verdict in favour of the individual and it is human nature for the individual to take ad vantage of any socialistic scheme the chief danger ics in whether those who take advantage can be controlled before the plan becomes so expensive that it bogs down under its own weight we have seen people coast for a few weeks between jobs living on unemployment insurance which they feel society owes them because they contrib uted payments we have seen people call the doctor for a minor ailment or spend some time in hospital because they arc insured under n health plan and time and again we have seen councils and school boards pass an ex penditure where it doesnt really cost much because the government grant pays a large percentage lions doll won by tom brownridge another auccetsful visit of santa clsus was uonrcred by
