Shantz, B.Tli Listen to the Missionary Hon over CHUC at 6.15 p.m. each Sunday six High School students from three Toronto Schools took part, two films were shown, "The Quiet Betrayal" and "Smoking and You". It was emphasized that while smoking does not cause TB, it does, however, break down the defences against it. F. M. Bradley, President of the O.T.A., who chaired the Saturday session, commended the local Associations across the Province for the tremendous .part they have played in the fight against TB and said that most of what has been done has been due to their efforts. A special request for 2% of the Christmas Seal revenue for research, so urgently needed had he said, been complied with, many of the local Associations having contributed more than the percentage asked for. It is, however, hopelessly inadequate for the research needed and planned for i 1965. WORLD DAY OF PRAYER The most interesting incident concerning the Observance of the World Day of Prayer in 1964 was the request from the B.B.C. in London, England, for a tape telling of the Canadian observance used in the week preceding the Day on the devotional program, "Lift up Your Hearts". This tape told of a service in Newfoundland where women came to a hilltop church when the howling wind threatened its foundations. In spite of the storm which began before noon, at service time dark forms of women against the snow and the gale were seen approaching the church. The thought that their island could be joined to the whole world in prayer had really captured their imagination and they had to attend. The tape also told of the 3500 centres where Canadian women share the day with Christian women in all the nations of the Commonwealth, and finally told the story of the dispersal of our offering to the uttermost parts of the earth. Residents of Colborne are invited to meet at the United Church to join in the World Day of Prayer on the afternoon of March 5th. Dr. E. A. Allen of the anti-TH Branch of the Department of Health in Toronto, who is shortly to take up a new post in British Columbia, said that only eradication of the disease should be acceptable, and eradication could not be considered complete until it had taken place not only in Canada but all over the world. While we may never achieve this, he said, if we get close to it so that it assumes the unimportance of leprosy and smallpox in this, country, where while the isolated case still arises, the expenditure of millions of dollars to keep them in check is not necessary, then we shall have made great strides toward success. Dr. Allen said he believes all younger people with negative TB should get the benefit of BCG vaccination to prevent them from acquiring the serious forms of the disease and possibly prevent them from, getting the disease at all. In concluding, he said that the four Muses -- Sacrifice, Cure, Prevention and Aspiration, should all be incorporated in the battle aganst the disease. In answering questions, Dr. Allen said that the BCG vaccination gives 80% protection and that duration was evident after 10 years and might even last longer than that, although by that time, it was hoped that with research, the problem may have been solved. Dr. C. W. L. Jeanes, who spoke on the relationship of local to National and International Associations and the communications necessary to set forth responsibilities of all levels one to another, said that the treatment and control of TB is a Government responsibility, but with the vital consideration of the local Associations. In speakking of fie seven point programme of case finding; health education; professional education; rehabilitation: research; international aid and mutual assistance and the Christ, mas Seal campaign; Dr. Jeanes said that the support of the Christmas Seal Campaign was vital. The 2% of the proceeds set aside for research produced about $55,000 per annum, which, together with $18,000 of the fund left over from the current year, would total $73,000 in March this year. Applications had been made for approximately $115,000 worth of research projects, all but one of which should be accepted by the research Committee. This would mean that in the neighbourhood of $40,000 worth of projects would have to be turned down.Last year, out of $90,000 Worth of projects pjeposed, $70,000 had been undertakekn and $20,000 worth had to he turned down. Other speakers, Prof. R. F. Farquharson, Chairman of the Medical Research Council of Canada, Dr. C. G. Shaver, President of the Ontario Thoracic Society and K. M. Clarke of Sault te. Marie, spoke on the role of the Ontario Thoracic Society in the changing place of the physician in the Tuberculosis Association and gave a commentary of the visit of the Management Committee Members to Local Associations. Attending the meeting from the Northumberland and Durham TB and Health Association were Mr. Ben Thompson, Representative on the Ontario Executive Council of the O.T.A.; Mrs. Margery Pewtress, Executive Secretary and Mrs. Kurt Franke.
