Major John Foote, V.C. has been ap- pointed General Chairman of the Sur- vey Committee. A statement issued by Mrs. Dick said: _ "The Northumberland-Durham Tu- berculosis and Health Association in cooperation with the Ontario Depart- ment of Health, will be conducting a tuberculin testing survey of North- umberland County including X-Rays of all the county's industrial employ- ees, The tuberculosis picture in Ont- ario cannot be taken too lightly. It is a constant battle to keep the in- cidence rate under control. Currently, approximately 7 people per day enter _ Ontario's sanatoria. 70% of these patients are in an advanced stage of tuberculosis. It is only through the efforts of the public that we can hope to keep these figures down, and Nor- thumberland is prepared to offer its citizens the -opportunity of being a part of this international fight against tuberculosis", EE ---- Mrs. Dick added the fact that the relatively new "Heaf" method of test- ing will be used. "The Department "has trained three special teams of re- gistered nurses in Heaf testing, an absolutely painless method of admin- istering the test." The tuberculin test will indicate if "Jany person has ever been in direct contact with tuberculosis. It will not show active disease, but all persons who show a reaction will be x-rayed, as well as all persons over 40 years of age. It is'in this age group that the highest rate of other lung and chest abnormalities is located. The Chest x-ray is capable of finding lung enlarged hearts, ete. . All such findings will be and chest area tumors, geported. i LE Major Foote is now appointing a committee to handle the involved pro- various survey committees. .

Two money raising projects were held during the year. The summer draw, the first prize, a week-end trip 'by plane to New York and five con- solation "prizes. In Décember the doll draw-with three dolls dressed in $1 bills valued at $50, $26 and $10. Both ventures proved very successful and we wish to thank all those who helped with these draws in any way. The highlight of the year was when an X-ray machine was purchased for the hospital by the board and the auxiliary were able to pay half of the cost. Through the generosity of friends, organizations and a very generous gift of $5000 from an in- terested supporter we were able to pay $7600 toward this valuable piece of equipment. At Christmas the patients. will be remembered with decorated baskets of 'candy and Christmas serviettes for the trays. Easter plants were given to the patients at Easter, as well as novelty baskets of candy for the children, As we conclude this year's work, we wish to thank everyone for their continued support. Sickness will al- ways be with us and may we not lose interest in helping to provide the comforts for the unfortunate ill. The Women's Hospital Auxiliary is | Ont. County Junior Farmer Debaters Edge Victoria Are part-time farmers detrimental ? On Thursday evening, December 13th, | the Junior Farmers from Ontario and | Victoria Counties debatéd on this subject at the Sunderland Township sisting of Ron Shier, Keith Shier, Ted Gordon and Donna Johnson won by a very narrow decision over the team from Victoria County, consisting of Reid Torrey, Sharryn Wylie, Ken Tamlin and Dave Little. Judges for the debate were R, O. Henderson, Principal of the Uxbridge Public School, Miss L. W. Corneil, English Teacher at the Lindsay Collegiate and B. C. Barrett, Public Inspector for Victoria County. From the arguments presented by the debaters, part-time farmers ap- pear to -be--more -detrimental-than- beneficial. farm surpluses thus lowering prices while at 'the same timo. they. make little profit from their farm enter- prizes. Part-time farmers do not have time to support farm organiza- | tions or community activities. The ; part-time farmer does not have the | time to do his farm job properly. The | product he produces tends to be of inferior quality and the farm suffers because the part-time farmer is not able to do all the jobs which should be done because of lack of time. As a result, the farm buildings, fences, ote. fall into disrepair ,and weeds be- come a serious problem. On the other hand, the part-time farmer, by producing less than he would have to, to make a full time income is holding production down and hence prices up. The part-time farm- er is keeping his farm in condition, so ; that when the population rises and more food is-needed, the-farm may be brought back to full production. A {young farmer is able, by working "away from the farm and investing his earnings in the farm, to build his farm enterprize to the point where it will offer a satisfactory income. {~The Ontario County Team is now preparing to meet the winner of the Peel-Halton contest.
