Stouffville were able to summon their fire brigade with the old fashioned fire bell, but Uxbridge have realized that they no longer have a bell. _ In case some of our local folk have been thinking along the same line let us hasten to assure you that Port Perry still has a fire bell. In any case there are the chruch bells which could be rung in such a manner as to act as an alarm. During the last world conflict the church bells in Eng- land were used in such a manner. The one difficulty here would be that our churches are locked, DRAW WINNER 'Aileen Snooks, Port Perry, won $89.00 in the-60-50 draw of the local Junior Softball Club. The draw was made last Thursday.

Survey The Department of Health has for. warded the Medical Report on the 1969 Durham County Tuberculin Test- ing and Chest X-ray Survey. It reads as follows: 1. Total number processed ...... 28,484 2, No reportable Disease or abnormalty ................... 28,221 2. Pulmonary tuberculosis ........ 4 4. Other diseases and abnormalties 269 Includes: Previous pleurisy 82 Abnormalities, Heart and AOTta cere 98 At first glance, that may appear to be very wonderful--and it is. "To find only four cases of tuberculosis and 259 other diseases and abnormalities in 23,434 persons is very good indeed. Before we pat ourselves on the back, - |however, we must pause and think of the 87.2% of our population which did not attend our clinics. There is very disturbing evidence that this segment of our population includes groups in which tuberculosis is highly prevalent. FOR INSTANCE-- Recently a University in the United States conducted a mass survey--at first on a purely voluntary basis, just as ours was. Qut of 10,000 students, 8,000 attended and 4 cases of tuber- culosis were discovered. The Board of governors was perturbed and decided to make is compulsory for the remain- 2,000 to attend. From those 2,000 students, 10 cases were unearthed, It has been proven over and over again that the incidence of tuberculo- sis is very much higher in that part of the population which does not volun- tarily attend chest clinics. The unfortunate part is that there is no way to make such attendance compulsory with the general public. The only thing we can do is try to get out that 37.3% the next time. Right here we would like to say once more what a terrific job our volunteers did. It was a tremendous effort to get out the 62.89% which we did and everyone must be more than pleased with the results. We know that Dr. Hawke, our Survey Chairman and President of the Northumberland and Durham TB Association--in fact the entire Executive Council--is highly delighted with the Committees across the country who did such a tremend- ous job. Our next goal is to get out that 87.29%! Canadian Forestry Betfer Woods Use Associaticsi Promotes Harvest the trees and con- WOODLAND HARVEST serve the woodlands. This is forest management. It is like g. Modern forestry prac- | tice requires that the young trees be protected and, like other crops, harvested at matu- rity before they die and rot. Without the harvest, young wth is held back. And it is young growth that keeps the orest 'green. It was this concept of forest management that was discussed t the 68th annual meeting of fhe Canadian Forestry Assocla- tion held recently in Ottawa. The CFA, a national organiza- tion supported by the public, motes the development, pro- on, and utilization of the woodlands, It provides services, uding the operation of two way conservation cars, It conducts 4-H and Junior Forest Warden programs, and manages the Tree Farm Movement, of which many farmers and other woodlot owners are members. The CFA is a service organiza- tion dedicated to increasing the forest wealth of the nation, Another forest fact of increas- ing concern discussed at the Ottawa meeting was the wast- age caused by forest fires, In 1957, there were 6,000 forest fires in Canada of which 6,000 were caused, directly and in. directly, by humans, Smokers and campers alone accounted . for more than 2,000 fires. Al. together, almost a million acres of timber were destroyed, A YOUNG TREE FARMER learns about forest management.
