Charlebois of Ottawa of the Canadian Tuber, culosis Association sat in with the Counting Committee under the Chairmanship of Paul Allen. Others on the Committee arel Keith Scott, Tom Parker, Zyg-1 munt Lysek, Victor Hewson, Lloyd Lovett and J. C. Inglis. Apart from the decorative aspects of the stamps, it is well to remember that persistence is required to prevent people being infected with TB germs, coupled with a reasonable amount of money and common sense. The persistence is in finding new cases and following up icr patients makirg sure they not having a relapse. Trie money collected in this campaign to pay for such service. The mmon sense is in getting all concerned to use the diagnostic and treatment services which are available. Dr. C. W. L. Jeanes, executive secretary of the Canadian Tuberculosis Association when addressing colleagues from across Canada at the association's annual meeting gave a statistical picture of the disease. "About $4,000,000 Canadians harbour tuberculosis germs and of these i 800,000 will still be living when the bells ring for New Year's Eve in the year 2000" he These are the figures in a country which is one of the half n nations Competing to have the lowest TB death rates in tile world. Communicable disease do not e out. They are conquered by persistent effort not merely i the years but over decades. In the case of tuberculosis it will probably be over a century at least.

SCOUT CORNER The 1st Colborne Troop, Boy Scouts of Canada, held their weekly meeting in the basement of the Town HaH. The boys had a good meeting with games as well as ceremonials in the Scout tradition. Little, oi- no training, was done, due to lack of space and proper facilities, and the situation Will not improve until the Scouts have their own place. We have the boys, lots of them, and they have the motivation to do a decent job as scouts. There is, we are told, a possibity of getting the place we need by Christmas so let's keep our fingers crossed. It is gratifying to see that now and then parents are taking an interest in the boys activities, but we still have boys who cannot get a uniform, and also some who can not, or do not pay their registration. This is basic requirement tor the Scout movement. Every Canadian Scout must (be registered in Ottawa. Now come on some of you people support your lad in his activities. Please try and get him his uni-t'oim and registration. The meeting was conducted by Patrol Leader Allen Baitley with assistance from Patrol Leadw Sam Clarke. Allen and Sam did a fairly good job. The troop decided to enter a float in the Santa Claus Parade and this was discussed by the Names were drawn for the gift list for the Scouts Christmas party and the boys set a limit of 75c on this. Two new recruits poined us from Lakeport and we hope that they bring more boys from there. The proposed hike is postponed to Saturday, December 12th, weather permitting.
