{ i Ws ah Ng Sr uy Fos: Tu hal TERN Bid 10 -- PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 2nd, 1964 Hear Report On International T.B. Conference Held In Rome Executive Council members of the Ontario County TB and Health Association heard a re- port on the International TB Conference held in Rome, Italy, and given by Mrs. E. A. Col- lins, Executive Secretary, at the Nurses' Residence, Ajax Hospi- tal recently. Mrs. Collins attended the con- ference with 160 Canadians, travelling by chartered plane. Following the Conference, along with 85 of the Canadian con- tingent, Mrs. Collins toured eight other countries, by bus, steamer and plane; her vacation taking her through Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Belgium, France and England. In her report, Mrs. Collins stated that the International Union believes that tuberculo- sis cannot be eradicated in one country alone due to ever in- creasing transportation facili- ties, overseas commitments and immigration, The fight against tuberculosis is not simply the affair of spe- cialists--it is a matter of con- cern to all. In any community, whether in our own, or around the world, the prevalence of TB is closely related to people's attitude towards the "disease. "Voluntary TB Associations, such as ours," said Mrs. Collins, "can, through simple, direct health education--mobilize pub- lic opinion, make it aware of the "danger, and of the means of averting it." Half of the world's population --a billion and a half people harbour the tubercle bacillus in their bodies. It is believed that TB is to become, in the near future, the major health prob- lem of the underdeveloped parts of the world. Actually, the fight against TB in Asia, Af- rica and South America has only just begun... A special audience had been arranged for the delegates with "His Holinéss, Pope Paul, who spoke in French, exprédsing thankfulness for the great pro- gress. made and: encouraging tuberculosis workers from all over the world to keep up their spirit and their efforts. He said he had faith that they would, since it was love of the patients which inspired them. It was announced at the meet- ing that the World Health Or- ganization, with headquarters in Geneva, has proclaimed as its theme for World Health Day on April 7th, "No TRUCE FOR TB". There have been several small epidemics in Canada re- cently and New York had a 149% increase in tuberculosis last year.
