"Tuberâ€" )(‘ulnsis is a disease that can be conâ€" trolled. It is a highly communicâ€" |able disease and unfortunately is | too often undiscovered until it has reached advanced stages. Only the Xâ€"ray plate can discover the presâ€" ence of the disease at this early stage." It is expected upward of 1,500 new cases of tuberculosis will be found in this area, according to Mr. Ruddy. Those which are found through the Xâ€"ray to have a shadow of â€" tuberculosis will be given a full size Xâ€"ray examination |at the Gage Institute in additon to other tuberculosis tests.

Premier George Drew and Mayor Saunders have both heartily enâ€" dorsed the mass Xâ€"ray plan. It is important that every resident in the area support the survey, Mr. Ruddy emphasizes. _ s "Buying Christmas seals will do much to finance the survey, but adâ€" ditional contributions will be needâ€" ed," he states, Cheques may be sent direct to the National Sanitarium Association, 223 College Street, Toâ€" ronto.

The Russian peopile have profited by that proâ€" gress and are sharing in our heriâ€" tage. We may jearn something from their daring experiments, but they have more to learn from our longer experience of freedom. All true progress is toward greater freedomâ€"not away from it, and it is for that reason that Soviet soâ€" cialism cannot be combined with the political democracy of the Western World. | _ But those freedoms are not comâ€" |patible with Socialism, whether it is that of Soviet Russia or the State Socialism which the British Labor Party or the CCF Party lha\'r' visualized in their programs. ‘Socialism cannot be put into operâ€" ation or maintained without some ’fnrm of dictatorship. If the Rusâ€" sian people were to be given freeâ€" dom of specch, freedom of the press, and freedom of elections, the _ Soviet _ Socialist _ Republics would very soon go to pieces. Soâ€" cialism may be the very best sysâ€" tem for the Russian people; they have never known froerfi)m, and they do not miss it. But to the people of the Western democracies freedom is as necessary as t,he' air they breathe. ‘ We can define democracy as ‘‘That form of government in which the sovereignty of the state is vested in the people, and exerâ€" cised by them through representaâ€" tive institutions." The Russian socialists may claim that their system conforms to that definiâ€" tion. We would need to define what we mean by the "people" and by "representative institutions". _ We believe in the rule of the people as a whole through representatives elected periodically, after free and cpen discussion, by secret ballot. Frecdom of speech, freedom of the press, and fiopdom of elections among several parties are the esâ€" sentials of democracy as we underâ€" stand it. In a recent dispatch from Mosâ€" cow, Brooke Atkinson, special corâ€" respondent for ihe New York Times, said that in the common use of the word democracy the people of the United States and the people of Russia do not mean the same thing. "With us in Amerâ€" ica," said Mr. Atkinson, "demoâ€" as a political system, With us it cracy is a habit of imind as well is an expression of faith in the principle that over a long period of time the people as a whole are able to make wiser decisions than their leaders . . . Our Western democracy is flexible. We can spontaneously overthrow a governâ€" ment with startling speed, as in the Democratic revolution of 1932, or the Labor victory in Britain this year." A great change appears to have come over Mr. Ernest Bevin and other leaders of the British Labor Party since they have assumed the responsibilities _ of _ government. During the recent â€" threeâ€"power conference in London Mr. Bevin remarked that there was need for a new definition of the word Demoâ€" cracy. Mr. Molotoy had used the word as applying to the socialist system in Russia, and to the meâ€" thods by which he proposed to set up the new governments in the‘ Balkan states. Mr. Bevin bluntly declared that Soviet Russia was not a democracy, and he likened the Soviet policy to that of Hitler, ‘upon which Mr. Molotovy got up and threatened to leave the conferâ€" ence if the statement was not withdrawn, \KE\ML Bevin spoke as though he d only just tflsco\'ered that Rusâ€" sia was not a democracy. That may have been the case, for durr ing the general elections the Labor Party had capitalized on the popuâ€" larity of Russia, and the chairman of that Party had held up Russian socialism as a model on which a Labor Government would build up a Socialist State in Britain. But when Mr, Bevin, as Foreign Secâ€" retary, came at close quarters with Mr. Molotovy he discovered that Russia was not a democracy at all. Mr. Churchill and Mr. Eden, in their dealings with the Soviet leaders, took that for granted and dealt with the situation accordâ€"| ingly. !

The committee af this association will arrange an intraâ€"mural sports program, and raise funds to offset the expenses of transportation and equipment.

The boys will elect one representative from ‘the vocational, and one from the academic departâ€" ment in each grade.
