DR. CHAN REVIEWS ACTIVITIES IN COMBATTING TUBERCULOSIS

Dr. G. A. Chan. senior residgnt physician at the Provincial San- aiorium was guest speaker at the, annual dinner meeting of the P. E. Island Tuberculosis League held at the Charlottetown Hotel yesterday.

Dr. Chan reviewed rulosls picture during the, past half century. "Working fogethgi-I lay and professional minds have vvolved programs that touch every phase of a tuberculosis pa- iIent'I life. and the results have. been incredible", he said He touched on the decline of infec- tion rate. and morbidity rates. Recent improvement in therapy should also tend to further mark- ed improvement in case fatality rates of the patients.

Dr. Chan said that "al- though X-ray surveys are still needed in some localities, we per- haps have over-emphasized it and have tended to lose sight of the true, epidemiology of tuberculosis. We must recognize the fact tha: -'iiFVCys do not take the place of careful epidemicological investiga- tions of contacts in the discovery of sources and new infections."

Problems in isolation were then dealt with by Dr. Chan. Chest 'ursery and chemo therapy have, already resulted in shorter per- iods of Hospitalization and in general throughout Canada and the United States more beds are now available for tuberculosis pa- tients.

BELLEVILLE, Ont. (CF)-Mrs. ,Mary Bell, 43, Wednesday calmly faced an Ontario Supreme Court .iury which pronounced her not guilty of murder in the poison dcalb Jan. 2 of her husband, Percy.

The jury was out for three hours and three minutes before it re- -tumed to make Mrs. Bell a free woman. After she was discharged by Chief Justice J. C. McRucr, she went to the front bench of the court and burst into tears in the arms of her daughter. Mrs. June Treverlon.

As the verditc was announced, courtroom spectators began to ap- plaud but were silenced by angry words from the chief justice. Mrs Bell quickly recovered her com- posure and shook hands with her counsel, crown counsel and police officers.

Before he dismissed the court, Chief Justice McRuer said he de- plored ”thc interference with just- ice in the early stage of the case” by newspapers.

"Hordes of newspaper reporters were sent to interrogate a woman who became the accused," he said.

The chief justice said pictures and articles

iieiiant Dock

LONDON (Reuters)-Strike lead- ers defiantly prepared Wednesday night to continue the trade-crip- pling dock tieup despite sharp cen- sure from the Trades Union Con- grass and a government investiga- tion board.

Strong support from three mass meetings of strikers during the day made it seem certain the strike chiefs would not retreat from pre- vious pledges to carry the water- front walkout, now in its fourth week. to a successful finish. Indus- trial sources said the leadcrs' de- termination actually had been strengthened by the twin rebuffs. They already have defied back- to-work appeals from the Trades Union Congress, which Wednesday suspended the main striking union, and strike leaders have said they will not heed any back-to-work ap- peal from the government court of inquiry which accused them of breaking agreements in the strike. The strike lost little momentum Wednesday as more than 43,000 men remained away from work, continuing the fieup of 343 vessels in eight key ports.

N0 BREAK

At the same time, there was no break In the strike of 8.000 ship re- pair workers in London who have stopped wotk on 100 other ships during the last month.

The dock strike. now holding up imports and exports worth 13125,- 000.000, has bamstrung more than two-thirds of Britain's vial mar- itime trade. The strikers have lost close to 511,000,000 in wages.

The strike ieaders' first rebuff Wednesday was delivered by the three-man court of inquiry. a fact-

During the day. dock workers in Glasgow announced they would not join the strike. But they agreed to contribute to the strike-fund.

It is doubtful whether enough ships are free to pick up wheat al- ready contracted for from St. Law- rence pnrts before winter closes them. And with the winter ports such as Saint John, MB. and Hal- ifax getting overloaded with wheat, more use will have to be made of Vancouver. on the west coast. which means a longer haul.

it could return only two verdicts -guilty or not guilty. There was no evidence of manslaughter.

The chief justice covered much of the same ground in reviewing the case as defence and crown counsel in their summations. Both spoke of relations between Mrs. Bell and Jenners. Defence attor- ney Ronald Cass said I reasonable conclusion would be the man took his own life because of an affair between the two.
