Here in Oakville, stu- dents will have their X-rays done at the Memorial hospital, where, through a federal health grant, special equipment was installed when the hospital was built. "Routine X-rays of chests of high school students is a most important part of the constant, never-ending search for early ses of tuberculosis," Dr. Math- er told the Journal. "It is in the teen age group, with it's rapid growth and maturation, that the disease may easily become es- tablished. By routine x-rays of apparently healthy people, tub- may be discovered early when treatment and cure are rel- atively easy." now has the lowest tuberculosis death rate in the world, Dr. Mather stated, attrib- uting this happy situation largely to the development of these per- fodic xray routines. + Ontario Plays Leading Role so Winnifred Young was a very competent Claudia in the Easter Play, = "By Thy Glorious Resur rection," presented at St. John's Canine Champs Don't Stand On Formality Cosburn's .

How musical training is being carried on in a number of Ontario schools was + described by Major Brian McCool, musical. director of the department of education, in a talk to Oakville-Trafalgar Home and School Association at its monthly meeting at the high school Thursday evening. The speaker traced the growth of this work since its inception about 35 years ago. It had been discovered, he said, that students taking music had a higher general academic standing than other students. Ma- jor McCool thought that musical instruction should become part of the Oakville-Trafalgar high school curriculum as soon as conditions warranted it. . A film demonstrating visual aids In schools was shown, and two piano solos were rendered by Miss | Natalie Mantle. The next meeting of the Association, Thurs- day, April 26, will be the annual Career Night, when local business and professional men will give talks on various vocations for the benefit of high school pupils. EGG HUNT HITS Young Oakville went ahunting Saturday morning, but not for live quarry. The Baster egg hunt, the Recreation Commission called it, although eggs did mot enter into the picture at all. It was just lit: tle colored discs that the young- sters hunted, but they searched with great energy and thorough: ness, because each disc repre- sented a prize. About five hundred children "took part in the hunt for the con- cealed discs. The youngest group, aged 4-6 years, did their hunting inside Victoria Hall. The 7-9 year- olds scoured the broad spaces of Wallace Park, while those of ten years and over ranged through George's Square in their quest. 'When. the hunt was over the youngsters crowded into Victoria Hall to receive their prizes, watch movies, and drink chocolate milk. Prizes consisted of coloring books, crayons, pencil sharpeners, and comic' books of the better varlety. Winners in the hunt were as fol- lows: 4 to 6 years Geradline Tomlee, Allan St, 12 eggs; Joan Farnham, William St, 10 eggs; Carol Craig, Allan St. 7 eggs; Louise Mathews, Bruce St, 5 eggs; Carol Chalmers, Douglas Street, 4 eggs. 7 to 9 years Bob Rose, Church St, 22 eggs; Cynthia Smith, Douglas St, 21 eggs; Peter Rose, Church St, 15 eggs; Robert Lascelles, Allan St, United church on Sunday evening.

However, it will not be surpris- ing to many informed ratepay- ers if council decrees a boost of at least four to six mills over last year's figure of 55 mills. Chief contributor to any hike, of coarse, would be the steadily rising school rate. BRANTWOOD TO HEAR ONT. V. E.

The town of Milton has agreed to house and man the fire-fighting equipment, which will be pur- chased by the townships. Total cast of the equipment is estimat- ed at between $13,000 and $14,000, of which the province will pay against buildings only. Trafal- gar's share 'will be borne by the township as a whole, as the peo- ple in that section of the township are assessed for upkeep of the fire brigades in the southern por- tion. ' "I think it is a good arrange- ment," Reeve Joseph Wickson, of Trafalgar, who attended the meet- ing, told the Journal. "It will sav us building a fire hall and main- taining a brigade of our own in that section of the township." The proposed scheme has been made necessary by Milton's re- fusal to continue to provide fire protection for the areas concern- ed, due to the growing demands of the town. A meeting to consid- er the proposal further will be held in the near future, when a repre- sentative of the Ontario Fire Marshall's office will be present. At a recent meeting in Toronto, Ontario Fire Marshall Scott dis- closed that the idea of instituting a mutual aid plan in Halton was first put forward nearly two years ago by Oakville deputy-reeve Ted Lauder. Mr. Scott, who opposed the proposal at that time, told the meeting he now feels the Halton plan will prove very successful guests was James W.
