Continued Sebastian Cabot, Cartier, surprises of the promised land. "Canada's true greatness began in the latter half of the 19th century when, on July 1, 1867, a Royal Proclamat- ion brought into being the Dominion of Canada," said the speaker. He reminisced on the slow but steady growth of the nation during the first 30 years, until the dawn of the 20th century a land of some 3% million square miles and with a population of close to five million people. He spoke on the more rapid growth during the first part of the 20th century with the increased production especially following the two World Wars. Standing third in the World as a producer of board lumber, in addition Jacques . to supplying 60% of the entire World supply of newsprint. Agriculture, the basic industry of Canada, today with more than 62 million acres in crop, 1/3 of a billion pounds of butter; 120 million pounds of cheese, 10 million pounds of wool; beef, pork and lamb products in almost astrono- mical quantities. ) In 1900 the value of min- eral production was 64 million dollars; now it exceeds five billion dollars, garnered from 66 different products. "But is this the only thing that makes a nation great?" Dr. Dymond questioned "No, I submit to you that the in- tangibles, the values we know and feel, but upon which we cannot put:a dollar value, are at least of equal importance to the continued development and greatness of our country," he stated. "Think of the freedoms we enjoy; freedom to speak without fear of reprisals; freedom to worship; freedom to gather in our groups, clubs, lodges and societies; freedom to work out our own destiny so long as we do not try to force our will upon our fellow man. Dr. Dymond dwelt to some length on the opportunities Canada offers its citizens. "It's here a-plenty, waiting Six Cases Of Rabies Ontario County health officials fear a rabies epidemic has struck foxes in surround- ing townships and warn the public to regard any fox in the area as a possible rabies carrier, At least six foxes with confirmed rabies have been discovered in Pickering Town- 'ship, Whitby and Brooklin in the past three weeks. Residents are warned to avoid any live fox. Children should be warned to avoid any wild animal living or dead particularly foxes. _ Health officials instruct that a dead fox should be handled only with gloves or for protection. Bare hands having hang-nails, cuts or scratches can. be contaminated. Any dog or domestic animal in contact with a fox should be reported immediat- ely to Health of Animals Branch, Canada Department of Agriculture, Bowmanville.

Dymond to be seized and used. And it is here I want to speak to you especially since being a Canadian by adoption, I can speak from experience and with personal knowledge," the speaker emphasized, During the last portion of his enthusiastic and inspir- ing speech Dr. Dymond told the many reasons immigrants leave their own countries to enjoy, the hospitality and op- portunities of Canada. It may be economic reasons; through the "blood, sweat and tears" of two World War conflicts; tyranny and oppression,polit- ical or religious. "Wittingly or otherwise, we all sought to improve our lot, and I repeat to you, it is here in abund- ance if we will but grasp it," he said. In conclusion Dr. Dymond said: "We have the power to build for today and create for tomorrow. In our times, we cannot be satisfied only to build a nation - we must seek to build a world. This is my country - young and full of doubt, but restless and eager, believing that now our time has come, and we are ready." The attentive audience honoured Dr. Dymond with a enthusiastic, standing ovat- ion. Port Perry Star Publisher P. Hvidsten, and president of OWNA introduced the speaker and Harry Stemp, Lake Simcoe Advocate publisher expressed thanks on behalf of the Association. ¢ (Ty LX Yerdiin ied NEY Chg EN Ey a AR dt PARAL EREIUACEVIN AULTRA SIRT RU IHL BRA PREIS) rl IF. avai afun ed J Misti ir fy AL University Representatives Will Meet With Parents, Representatives from all universities in Ontario will converge on Ontario County on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 24th and 25th, to meet Grades 12 and 13 stu- dents and their parents to recommend their universi- ties to suitably qualified stu- dents. The universities, repre- sented by their high school liaison officers or other mem- bers of registrars' depart- ments, will acquaint students of the requirements for ad- mission and discuss with the students, the courses offered at their particular univeri- ties in which they show an interest. Also attending will be officials from the Ontario Department of Education, Student Awards Division, who wilj inform students of what is" available in awards and loans. : The sessions will start at Port Perry High School at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Febru- ary 24th, and at 7:30 p.m. the same day the group will move to Eastdale Collegiate, Oshawa. The schedule for Wednesday, February 25th, is Dunbarton High School at 2:00 p.m. and at Anderson Collegiate, Whitby, at 7:30 p.m. On Wednesday, also, the university representatives will meet with Guidance Heads, Department Heads, Cases Of Tuberculosis More Prevalent In Cities By Dr. Cameron C. Gray Executive Medical Director Ontario Thoracic Society. Tuberculosis can be con: trolled but can it be eradi- cated? Tuberculosis is caus. ed by a specific germ that is spread from one person to another. If the patient with active tuberculous disease of the lungs coughs or sneezes, he sends germs into the air. These germs may be inhaled into the lungs of healthy people and may cause tuber- culosis. Tuberculosis, though infectious, is rarely spread unless the infected person coughs with accompanying sputum. In the developed or affluent countries there is a marked decline in the num- ber of new cases of tuber- culosis as well as in the death rate. It has been shown that tu. berculosis is more prevalent in city than in country dwel- lers. There are more infect: ed people in those areas where living conditions are inferior insofar as 'overcrow- ding and poor diet are con- cerned. Close contact and inadequate nutrition favour the spread of the disease from an infected to a non. infected person. The person with active tu. berculosis of his lungs in- variably has a cough and usually has sputum. - The di. agnosis can only be made with certainty by finding the germs in the person's: sput- um. Chest x-rays are help. ful in diagnosis by arousing suspicion when an abnorm. ality is recognized and then having the person seek medi- cal attention, The tuberculin skin test does not diagnose active disease but if the test is positive it indicates that the person has been exposed to the germs some time in his life, either years ago or recently. A negative tuber culin test usually rules out the presence of active tuber culosis. - Once the diagnosis is estab: lished by finding the germ in the sputum the treatment with a combination of drugs is started. These drugs are taken daily and the length of treatment varies from 18 months" to 3 years. The pro- longed period of treatment is essential and worthwhile because almost every person treated in this manner has his tuberculosis controlled and in addition there is very little risk in years to come of a flare up of his old di sease. It is because of these drugs which were introduced 20-25 years ago, that tuber. culosis is no longer a seri ous problem. It is import. ant to realize that the drugs now used to control the tu- berculosis infection were de- veloped through research. Occasionally it is necessary to carry out a surgical opera. tion in the treatment of tu. berculosis but nowadays this is rare, again due to the ex cellent results that follow drug therapy. The result of treatment of the person with active pul monary tuberculosis is excel. lent providing the prescribed drugs are taken regularly, It probably does not matter greatly whether the person is treated in the sanatorium, the general hospital or in his home. However, = certain factors such as the person's own living conditions, his | contact with children and the Students Principals and Administra- tion Officials at 9:30 a.m. Parents will be especially welcome to attend the two evening sessions where they will be able to obtain pertin ent information from the uni- versities.

By TED BLOWES Ever since recent changes by the Department of Educa- tion allowed Geography to compete more favourably with other academic subjects, it has taken great strides in most of the high schools in our District. : Enrollment in this "living" subject has increased consid- erably and many-students are now taking Urban Geography and Planning as their univer- sity course. Will Featu re Soprano At Symphony Concert The next concert of the Oshawa Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Jacob Groob will take place as usual at the Eastdale Colle- giate Auditorium on Sunday, February 22nd at 8:30 p.m. The assisting artist is the well-known Canadian soprano Mary Morrison. She is one of the original members of the Canadian Opera Comp- any. 'She is quite a versa- tile singer and is equally at home with the classics and contemporary music. Her solo appearances have in- cluded engagements with the major symphony orchestras, the CBC in radio and televi- sion and chamber music con-| | certs. Because of her musi- cal and vocal flexibility some of our foremost Canadian composers have written for her voice in combination with various instruments. Mary Morrison was born in Winnipeg of Scottish parents. She studied piano and voice in that city until 1944 when she Manitoba Music Festival vo- cal awards in the same year. A feat never achieved in the history of the festival. She continued her studies in Tor- 'onto on scholarships and graduated Cum Laude with an Artist's Diploma from the Senior School of the Royal Conservatory of music. As guest artist she will sing the Laudamus from Mozart's G Minor Mass and an Aria from the Marriage of Figaro by. the same com- poser. After the intermission, she will sing a selection from Lehar's "The Merry Widow" and an Aria from Puccini's Opera 'La Boheme'. The orchestra will accomp- any all her selections. : Mr. Groob and the orches- tra will open the concert with a Toccata (a form of music in which the notes are touched and left rather than sung and held onto) by an early Italian 'composer and supervision of treatment may dictate that the treatment should be started in a sana- torium. After a few weeks of treatment the person is no longer infectious and then home treatment is preferable though. continued medical supervision is necessary, "Tuberculosis does not pre. sent the serious: problem of former years. However, the disease is not eradicated and with the current. ease of global travel it is likely that more tuberculosis will fol. low contact with infected people from underdeveloped countries.

Mr. Fred Tassie, a man with There has been a constant attempt by the geography de- partment to get the students out into the field to actually see what they are discussing in the classroom. A good example of this is the region- al. government study that most geography departments in the county (along with Bowmanville and Courtice High Schools) are now en- gaged in co-operation with Mr. D. Paterson, the Regional Government Consultant for the Oshawa Area Planning and Development Study, and the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board. The stud- ents using the questionnaire prepared by Mr. Paterson are undertaking a "sphere of influence" study to help Mr. Paterson determine the boun- daries- of the new Regional Governmnt -for the Oshawa - Whitby region. "This study will help Mr. Paterson determine where people in different parts of the County seek their shop- ping, recreational social em- ployment and educational fa- cilities. = This information will be read by Mr. Paterson when he comes up with his final proposal for the region- al government. The-important features for . the geography students is that they can sit back and say, "I had something to do with the new type of govern- ment that is now in effect". Where else can you get a better learning situation? Chairman of the Regional Geography On The Move . Geography Heads, Ted Blow- . es of Anderson Collegiate, is pretty sure that this is the only region in the Province of Ontario where geography students are playing a direct role in the formation of re- gional government for their areas.
