Some interesting facts on Saskatchewan's successful ipght against tuberculosis which has resulted in that province becoming the most healtliy_ province iii Cianada as regards this dlSQHSc were given by thc Montreal Standard last December. One reason for their leadership in the pre- venion of this disease is that they were early in the field. 1n IOII leading citizens formed the Anti-tuberculosis League and started canvass- lng for funds with which to build a saiiatorium. Although dclityril by the First \V0rld \Var this saiiatorium was opcned in i917, and since that time two additional sanatoriiims were construct- ed. A further important step was taken in I929 in which year the Legislature passed an act pro- viding for free treatment for tuberculosis for all residents of the province. With the discovery of Mobile X-ray machi- nes the province was again early in the field and in 1942 the Anti-tuberculosis League started a mass x-ray survey of the province. At the time this article wit-s written 350.000 persons had been x-rayed, including the residents of seven out of Saskatchewan's eight cities. Perhaps typical of this mass survey is the following account of the campaign in Regina: "When the people of Regine. were tested, vol- uritrry helpers canvassed the citv signing peo- ple up. It rook 2o days to examine 49,000 peo- ple. During that time, 2,300 people worked as volunteers. Uore than 1,000 canvassed arid signed families. Regiiians were not "invited" to be tested. The head of each family signed a card requesting the examination for himself and the members of his household. The city was divided into 60 units. Three units were clone each day. These mass examinations have made the Df-Oplc of Saskatchewan more TB conscious than any other provincein Canada." Results of this sustained campaign are evid- ont. The death rate from this disease has fallen from 56.4 to 26.4 in 23 years, which is a reduc- tion of 53% A similar campaign is ir. progress here, a be- [ining in the City being made by a band of will- lng‘ workers this evening. A Vase From Denmark Throisgliotit the long Nazi imprisonment of Europe, the British Broadcasting Corpora- tion's broadcasts of authentic news to the martyred paoples in their own tongues kept hope alive. In vain the German overlords tried to dam this inflow of truth which mocked Nazi "riews” and propaganda. Daring souls WlIO listened to the B. B.

Because of Denmark's proximity to Brit- ain, the Danes particularly found the B. B. C. their link with the outside. Now that freedom has come, Danish listeners arc going to make l gift of appreciation. For months now Danish artists and craftsmen have been designing and fashioning a vase carrying pictures symbolic of the link bctwecn Britain and Denmark. \Vhcii a pcrfect vase has been molded, the molds will be ilestroyed.

Canada was this fact morc in evidence than in Prince Edward Island. No- where, due to etilistmcnfs and the drain of manpower to iuirustrial provinces. was the labor shortage so pressing. An Ottawa dcspatch of last December stated that no fcwcr than 7,000 ‘Prince Edward Islanders left their Province dur- lng the war ycars to take iobs in war industries on the mainland. This additional strain on the older people wn- of fsct by no special consider- ltion from Ottawa. On thc contrary, as Prem- ier lones stated in his brief at the opening of the Dominica-Provincial Conference last Aug- ust, we were left pretty well to our own dc- viccs.

But our farmers stuck to their task. They came through with flying colors. All they are asking now is a fair deal in_ the bouiitry’; post-war rehabilitation planning, which they will still-it seems-have to fight for. It will not come about until we get rid of some of the moguls who refuse to recognize our status as a Province. and insist on treating our transportation grievances with indifference. t-EDITORIAL NOTES-t Festival 0f Caildlemas, to commemorate the Presentation of Christ in the Temple; the custom of blessing the candles for the whole year on this day came into use in the iith cen- fury.

We have been told that fried meat and frled potatoes and fried eggs were the most undlgestible and unsuitable of human foods. Every disease from total blindness to mumps was caused by excessive use of these old-fashioned delica- cles. Some historians of the Ameri- can Clvll War even claimed that the defeat of the South was due to the Southerners’ incurable habit of eating fried chicken and hot bis- cults and other foods of the deep- fat school of cooking. Well, there ls nothing in lt. For ‘he first time a real scientific investigation was held into the subject, and it has shown up some surprising facts. It ls now officially claimed that fried foods are actually more easily digested that any others, and the more thoroughly they have been fried the less indlgestiblc they are. —-I-Iuron Expositor.
